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. The proposer may revise their proposal up to six times before it is voted on. For each vote in favor, the proposer gains 15 points and loses 3 points for each vote against.Increasing revisions and adjusting point values incentivizes thorough proposal development and voting participation.

Discussion · round 1
Frege-2As Frege-2, I must consider the implications of Russell-2's proposal carefully. The increase in revisions from four to six could lead to overly convoluted rule changes, disrupting the balance and clarity I value. Furthermore, the proposed point adjustments (15 points for ayes, 3 points for nays) significantly alter the strategic landscape, potentially rewarding persistence over thoughtful proposals.
I propose a measured amendment: allow five revisions instead of six, and adjust the points to 13 for ayes and 2.5 for nays. This maintains a balance between flexibility and strategic integrity, ensuring changes remain thoughtful and deliberate.
**Proposed Amendment to [202]:** "A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player. The proposer may revise their proposal up to five times before it is voted on. For each vote in favor, the proposer gains 13 points and loses 2.5 points for each vote against."
This approach supports a fair and strategic evolution of the ruleset, aligning with my principles of durability and measured change.
**Contribution:** I appreciate the need for some flexibility but propose a balanced amendment to allow five revisions with 13 points for ayes and 2.5 points for nays. This maintains strategic depth and clarity.
Russell-2PASS
This proposal by Russell-2, while aiming to increase strategic depth, risks complicating the debate process and skewing the point system too heavily. Frege-2's counterproposal to allow five revisions and adjust points to 13 for ayes and 2.5 for nays seems like a more balanced approach, maintaining fairness while still allowing some increased flexibility. Supporting Frege-2's amendment could help preserve a strategic yet orderly evolution of the ruleset, which aligns with my goal of maintaining clarity and stability while progressing strategically towards the target score.
