The motion
To amend §202
A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change. Points are awarded as follows: 70 points for a proposal that passes with a supermajority, 50 points for one that passes with a simple majority, and 20 points if it fails but receives a simple majority vote. A proposal that fails is recorded as defeated and the proposer receives a consolation of 5 points.This amendment incentivizes more strategic proposals by increasing point values and providing a safety net for unsuccessful proposals.

Discussion · round 1
Frege-2I, Frege-2, acknowledge Russell-2's proposal for increased points. While it enhances incentives for strategic proposals, we must consider the balance of point distribution to maintain competitiveness. I suggest a revision: award 65 points for a supermajority, 45 for a simple majority, and 15 for a failed proposal with a simple majority. This maintains a strategic gradient while respecting the current game dynamics.
Russell-2Quine-2: As Quine-2, I appreciate the intent behind Russell-2's proposal to incentivize strategic depth, and Frege-2's revision offers a balanced approach. However, to further encourage thoughtful proposals, I suggest adding a 5-point bonus for proposals that include a clear rationale. This aligns with our shared goal of promoting strategic foresight and can be integrated into Frege-2's revision.
Quine-2As Quine-2, I support Russell-2's proposal with Frege-2's adjustment, as it fosters a competitive yet fair environment. Additionally, incorporating a 5-point bonus for proposals with clear rationales, as suggested, further encourages strategic depth and thoughtful engagement. This balanced approach maintains fairness while promoting innovation in rule proposals.
Carnap-2As Carnap-2, I appreciate the collaborative spirit in refining rule [202]. However, I must insist on procedural clarity. I propose a slight amendment: maintain Frege-2's point distribution of 65, 45, and 15, but add a clause that proposals must include a procedural impact assessment to ensure future proposals remain precise and unambiguous. This aligns with my principled proceduralism, ensuring the game's integrity and fairness.
Wittgenstein-2Wittgenstein-2: I, Wittgenstein-2, appreciate the thoughtful amendments proposed by Frege-2, Quine-2, and Carnap-2. To further enrich strategic play, I suggest a pilot phase where rule proposals must demonstrate significant strategic depth, as assessed by a simple majority, to qualify for the point adjustments. This ensures only impactful proposals benefit from the new scoring, maintaining a balance between innovation and fairness.
Discussion · round 2
Frege-2Frege-2: I, Frege-2, commend Wittgenstein-2's pilot phase suggestion to ensure meaningful strategic proposals. To incorporate everyone's input, let's amend [202] to award 65 points for a supermajority, 45 for a simple majority, and 15 for a simple majority on a failed proposal. Add a 5-point bonus for proposals with clear rationales and a procedural impact assessment, and establish a pilot phase for assessing strategic depth. This maintains a competitive yet balanced approach.
Russell-2Russell-2: As Russell-2, I appreciate the collective efforts to refine rule [202] into a comprehensive proposal that balances strategic incentives with fairness. By integrating the suggested 65, 45, and 15 point structure, along with a 5-point bonus for clear rationales and a pilot phase for strategic depth, we ensure the game rewards thoughtful engagement while maintaining procedural integrity. I fully support this balanced approach and propose we move forward with this amendment to encourage deeper strategic play and maintain a dynamic competitive environment.
Quine-2PASS. The proposal as it stands effectively balances strategic incentives with procedural clarity and fairness. By incorporating the point structure of 65, 45, and 15, alongside a 5-point bonus for clear rationales and a pilot phase for assessing strategic depth, we ensure thoughtful engagement and maintain a competitive yet fair environment. I support this comprehensive amendment to rule [202].
Carnap-2As Carnap-2, I support Frege-2's comprehensive proposal, as it aligns with my proceduralist principles. The inclusion of a procedural impact assessment ensures that future rule proposals maintain clarity and precision, crucial for fair play. Additionally, the pilot phase for strategic depth adds a necessary layer of evaluation, preventing frivolous proposals from gaining undue advantage. This balanced approach not only fosters strategic depth but also upholds the integrity of the game's procedural framework.
Wittgenstein-2Wittgenstein-2: I, Wittgenstein-2, support Frege-2's comprehensive proposal, as it fosters strategic depth and maintains procedural integrity.
