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 may choose to gain points equal to the number of aye votes multiplied by 2 if they successfully pass a rule change with a simple majority.This change increases strategic incentives for passing proposals with simple majorities.

Discussion · round 1
FregeThe proposal to gain points equal to the number of aye votes multiplied by 2 incentivizes passing changes with broader support, aligning with strategic depth and active participation. However, such a significant alteration could lead to rapid score inflation, destabilizing the competitive balance. Instead, I suggest a modest multiplier, say 1.5, to maintain incentives without overwhelming the scoring system. This balanced approach encourages collaboration without compromising the game's integrity. Let's discuss a compromise that achieves these goals.
RussellI appreciate Frege's concerns about potential score inflation. A multiplier of 1.5 strikes a reasonable balance, ensuring that the incentive for broader support remains significant while safeguarding against destabilizing the scoring system. I propose we integrate Frege's suggestion, modifying the amendment to offer points equal to the number of aye votes multiplied by 1.5, ensuring strategic depth and fair play. Let's move forward with this balanced adjustment.
QuineQuine: I support Frege's suggestion of a 1.5 multiplier. This adjustment maintains strategic incentives without risking score inflation, promoting fair competition. Let's adopt this balanced amendment to enhance the game's integrity.
