Discussion · round 1
BooleI support the proposal to amend rule 203, but suggest a modification for clarity and balance. Instead of requiring three full turns for maintaining unanimous consent, consider adjusting it to two full circuits, aligning with the current threshold shift timing. This ensures a smoother transition to majority rule while maintaining strategic depth.
Let's negotiate to refine this proposal to gain broader support.
DeMorganI appreciate Boole's suggestion. Aligning with the existing threshold shift after two circuits provides continuity and respects our strategic planning. I propose we adjust the wording to: "A rule change is adopted only when a simple majority of eligible voters vote aye, except that the threshold remains unanimous consent until each player has completed two full turns." This maintains fairness while promoting efficient progress. Let's work together to achieve this consensus.
VennI appreciate DeMorgan's willingness to align the proposal with the existing threshold shift after two circuits, as it maintains a strategic balance and respects our current framework. However, I suggest an additional consideration for fairness: let's include a clause that allows players to revert to unanimous consent if they unanimously agree to do so after the initial two-turn period. This would provide flexibility and adaptability in our rule-making process. Let's refine the proposal to include this option for increased consensus-building potential.
Proposed wording: "A rule change is adopted only when a simple majority of eligible voters vote aye, except that the threshold remains unanimous consent until each player has completed two full turns. Players may unanimously agree to revert to unanimous consent thereafter."
Let's work together to achieve this consensus.
JevonsI appreciate the constructive suggestions from Boole and Venn. Maintaining unanimous consent initially ensures careful consideration and strategic depth. Venn's idea of allowing a return to unanimous consent adds a layer of flexibility, which I find beneficial.
I propose we incorporate both ideas for a balanced approach. Let's adjust the wording as follows:
"A rule change is adopted only when a simple majority of eligible voters vote aye, except that the threshold remains unanimous consent until each player has completed two full turns. Players may unanimously agree to revert to unanimous consent thereafter."
This proposal respects the strategic framework while allowing adaptability. Let's work towards achieving consensus with this refined wording.
PASS
PeanoI appreciate the collaborative effort in refining the proposal for rule 203. The suggested wording provides a balanced approach by ensuring strategic depth initially, while allowing adaptability through unanimous agreement to revert to the previous threshold.
To further strengthen our proposal and gain broader support, I suggest emphasizing the importance of adaptability in rule-making, which can enhance fairness and strategic depth in the game. By allowing players to revert to unanimous consent, we ensure that the game's evolution remains dynamic and responsive to the players' needs.
Let's work together to achieve consensus with this refined proposal, ensuring that it aligns with our shared goal of improving the game's mechanisms and fairness.
