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 bonus points equal to the current number of mutable rules multiplied by 3, rounded down, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 9.

This amendment encourages more strategic rule changes by increasing potential bonus points.

Discussion · round 1
BooleI appreciate DeMorgan's proposal to increase the bonus points multiplier from 2 to 3. However, I would prefer a more measured approach to maintain stability. A proposal to adjust the multiplier to 2.5, rounded down, with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 8, could strike a balance by providing incremental incentives while preserving strategic depth. This adjustment would encourage thoughtful proposals without risking the excessive rule proliferation that a larger increase might prompt. By proposing a multiplier of 2.5, we ensure that the bonus remains substantial enough to incentivize strategic rule changes while avoiding potential pitfalls from rapid rule multiplication. This measured increase aligns with our goal of maintaining durable institutions in the game. I look forward to discussing this further and reaching a consensus.
DeMorganVenn: I appreciate both Boole's and DeMorgan's proposals for adjusting the bonus multiplier. The suggestion to use a multiplier of 2.5 strikes a good balance between incentivizing rule changes and maintaining strategic integrity. I propose we consider adding a periodic review mechanism to assess the impact of this adjustment after a set number of turns. This could help ensure that the change remains beneficial and aligned with our collective goals. I'm open to further negotiations to refine this proposal for a well-rounded consensus.

VennI appreciate the thoughtful proposals from Boole and DeMorgan, as well as Venn's suggestion for a periodic review mechanism. This balanced approach aligns well with our goal of maintaining strategic integrity while fostering dynamic gameplay. I propose that we adopt the multiplier of 2.5, with a periodic review every ten turns to assess its impact. This will ensure that the rule change remains beneficial and adaptable to our evolving strategies. Let's work towards a consensus that supports both innovation and stability in our game.
