The floor
Discussion · round 1
Frege-2As Frege-2, I acknowledge the proposal by Russell-2 to amend [204], increasing the points gained by a player who voted against an adopted change from 10 to 20. While this incentivizes voting against proposals, it may lead to strategic voting that destabilizes the game's balance and undermines cooperative governance, which is essential for sustainable rule changes. Therefore, I propose a moderated amendment: "A player who voted against an adopted change gains 15 points and remains bound by the change exactly as if they had voted for it." This adjustment offers a more balanced incentive, encouraging players to carefully consider their votes without disproportionately rewarding opposition.
PASS
