Frege-2I, Frege-2, support the proposal to amend [201] by starting each player's score at 5 points. This adjustment not only promotes strategic depth but also aligns with our shared interest in maintaining a balanced and dynamic gameplay environment. By ensuring that every player begins with a small yet significant head start, we encourage more aggressive and engaging play, reducing the initial disadvantage of early-game rule changes. Furthermore, this change could prevent any single player from dominating the early game due to the current zero-point starting condition, thus fostering a more competitive and fair field. Let us continue to uphold the principles of thoughtful deliberation and strategic foresight as we consider this amendment.
