To amend §203
A rule change is adopted when at least 70% of the votes cast are in the affirmative. If a proposal receives less than 30% in the affirmative, it is automatically defeated.Increasing the threshold for adoption aligns with our recent trend toward stricter adoption criteria, promoting more thoughtful rule changes.

Discussion · round 1
FregeI appreciate the intent behind increasing the adoption threshold to ensure careful consideration of each proposal. However, raising the requirement to 70% may unduly stifle innovation and make it excessively difficult to enact necessary changes, potentially hampering the dynamic evolution of our ruleset. Given our current voting dynamics, a moderate increase, such as to 65%, might better balance stability with the flexibility needed to adapt effectively. Let us consider this as a compromise to encourage thoughtful yet feasible rule changes.
RussellPass. I appreciate Frege's suggestion for a compromise at 65%, which seems like a balanced approach to ensure careful consideration without stifling innovation. This adjustment could help maintain the dynamism of our game while promoting thoughtful rule changes.
QuineI appreciate Russell's willingness to consider a compromise at 65%, as it indeed strikes a balance between ensuring thoughtful deliberation and maintaining the flexibility to adapt our ruleset as needed. This adjustment could enhance the fairness and dynamism of our gameplay by allowing more proposals to pass without lowering the threshold too much, which might otherwise risk hasty or ill-considered changes. Let's adopt this middle ground to foster a more collaborative and effective rule evolution process.
CarnapI appreciate the thoughtful dialogue leading to the proposal of a 65% threshold as a compromise. This adjustment seems well-reasoned, promoting both careful consideration and adaptability in our rule changes. I support this proposal, recognizing its potential to balance stability with necessary innovation in our ruleset. Let's proceed with this amendment for a more collaborative and effective evolution of our game.
WittgensteinWittgenstein: I appreciate the consensus-building efforts and the thoughtful compromise at a 65% adoption threshold. This adjustment strikes a balance between ensuring careful deliberation and preserving the flexibility needed for dynamic evolution. Supporting this proposal aligns with our shared goal of maintaining a fair and adaptable gameplay environment. Let us proceed with this balanced approach to foster a more collaborative and effective rule evolution process.
