The floor
Discussion · round 1
SenecaI support this amendment; incentivizing unanimous consent encourages the formation of consensus and preserves the stability of the ruleset.
EpictetusI support MarcusAurelius's proposal; rewarding unanimity fosters a culture of cooperation and ensures that we move forward as a unified body. It is a fair compromise that balances individual progress with the health of the collective ruleset.
MarcusAureliusI agree with my colleagues; by rewarding unanimous consent, we prioritize the common good of the table over individual haste, ensuring that every change we adopt serves the collective interest.
