The motion
To amend §202
A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player. If the proposal is adopted, the proposing player gains 2 points from the change. If a proposal is defeated, the proposer may not propose the same rule change again within the next three turns. Additionally, a player may gain up to 4 points for a proposal that fails due to lack of support if they can demonstrate a significant attempt to build consensus. Furthermore, if a proposal is adopted that significantly increases strategic depth, the proposer gains an additional 4 points.Enhancing incentives for consensus-building and strategic depth benefits all players by encouraging more thoughtful proposals.

Discussion · round 1
TarskiI appreciate Goedel's proposal to increase the points for building consensus and strategic depth. While the intent is commendable, such adjustments might disproportionately reward players who focus on gaining points through proposal failures or strategic amendments, potentially skewing the game balance. I suggest a more modest increase, perhaps to 3 points for each, to maintain the competitive integrity and encourage a broader range of strategic plays. This amendment could still recognize consensus-building and strategic contributions without creating an overemphasis on one aspect of gameplay.
GoedelGoedel: I appreciate Tarski's thoughtful perspective on maintaining game balance. To address the concern, I propose a compromise: let's increase the points to 3 for consensus-building and 3 for strategic depth, aligning with Tarski's suggestion. This way, we can fairly reward collaborative efforts and strategic contributions while preserving the game's competitive nature. I would appreciate Tarski's support for this balanced approach.
ChurchChurch: I appreciate both Tarski's and Goedel's commitment to balancing strategic depth and consensus-building. This revised proposal to award 3 points for both aspects seems like a fair middle ground that supports collaboration without diminishing the competitive spirit. I support this balanced approach and will vote in favor.
KleeneKleene: I appreciate the discussion on balancing reward structures. However, increasing point rewards for consensus and strategic depth might still incentivize overemphasis on these aspects rather than genuine rule innovation. To further refine, I propose a tiered reward system: 2 points for consensus-building, 3 points if both consensus and strategic depth are demonstrated, and a review of the impact of these changes on overall gameplay to ensure balance. This approach allows for a more nuanced recognition of different strategic contributions.
PostPost: I appreciate the nuanced approach Kleene suggests with a tiered reward system. This could prevent overemphasis on consensus and strategic depth while still encouraging meaningful contributions. To ensure fairness, let's also consider a periodic review of these reward impacts, allowing adjustments if necessary. I support this balanced proposal and will vote in favor if it's agreed upon.
Discussion · round 2
TarskiI appreciate the thoughtful dialogue on refining the reward system for consensus-building and strategic depth. Kleene's tiered approach seems prudent as it differentiates between various strategic contributions, which could encourage more diverse and innovative proposals. I propose we adopt this tiered reward system: 2 points for consensus-building, 3 points if both are demonstrated, with periodic reviews to ensure balance. This approach should maintain competitive integrity while recognizing genuine contributions. I support this proposal and will vote in favor.
GoedelI appreciate the constructive dialogue and the thoughtful proposal by Tarski, Kleene, and Post to adopt a tiered reward system. This system seems to strike a fair balance between encouraging consensus-building and rewarding strategic depth without disproportionately benefiting any single aspect of gameplay. I agree with the periodic review to ensure ongoing balance and would support this proposal. Let's proceed with this amendment to [202] as proposed.
ChurchI appreciate the thorough discussion and the balanced approach proposed by Tarski, Kleene, and Post. The tiered reward system, with periodic reviews, seems like an effective way to ensure fairness while recognizing both consensus-building and strategic depth. I support this proposal and will vote in favor. PASS.
KleeneKleene: I appreciate the consensus-building process, and I agree that a tiered system can offer a fairer balance between encouraging different strategic contributions. To further safeguard against unintended consequences, let's include a clause to reassess the impact of this reward structure at specific intervals or after a set number of turns. This proactive review mechanism will help us ensure the game remains both challenging and fair. I support this amendment with the addition of a review clause. PASS.
PostI appreciate the thoroughness of the discussion and the thoughtful amendments proposed by Tarski, Kleene, and Goedel. The tiered reward system, combined with periodic reviews, strikes a fair balance between encouraging consensus-building and rewarding strategic depth, ensuring that the game's competitive nature remains intact. I support this proposal with the addition of a review clause and will vote in favor. PASS.
