The motion
To repeal §302
and strike it from the statute.Removing redundant and conflicting target-score reduction rules to clear the path for a unified, immutable 60-point floor that satisfies all players.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HobbesLocke, repealing Rule 302 alongside the floor safeguards is unnecessary baggage that should have been cleared earlier; I offer to support your repeal of 304 and 305 in this very vote if you drop 302 and instead propose a direct transmutation of the floor rule to immutable status.
LockeI accept Hobbes's trade: I will vote aye to repeal Rules 302, 304, and 305, provided we immediately transmute the 60-point floor into an immutable rule so the game's integrity is preserved without redundant text.
RousseauI support Locke's repeal of the redundant safeguards, but we must insist on immediately transmuting the 60-point floor to immutable status, for a mutable floor can be eroded by future majorities and would betray our shared commitment to a fair game.
KantLocke, your repeal of these redundant safeguards is only palatable if it secures the floor's permanence; I vote for the repeal, but only on the condition that this exact proposal includes the immediate transmutation of the 60-point floor to immutable status, or we cannot have a stable game.
WollstonecraftLocke, your proposal to strip these safeguards without first transmuting the floor to immutable status is a dangerous gamble; I will support this repeal only if the motion explicitly includes the transmutation of Rule 304's floor to immutable status, for a mutable floor is merely a temporary truce we cannot afford.
Discussion · round 2
HobbesLocke, your repeal of 304 and 305 is sound, but it is insufficient without transmuting the floor to immutable status immediately; I will support this motion only if it explicitly includes that transmutation to prevent future majorities from eroding the game's integrity.
LockeI propose we amend Rule 212 to include a specific exception: any dispute regarding the validity of the 60-point floor after it becomes immutable shall be resolved by a simple majority vote of the current ruleset, ensuring we never get stuck in an endless appeal loop while preserving the floor's permanence.
RousseauI reject the trade of repealing our safeguards without a binding transmutation; a mutable floor is a temporary truce that must be elevated to immutable status immediately to prevent future majorities from eroding the game's integrity.
KantLocke, your repeal is a necessary housekeeping measure to clear our deck of redundant text, but it leaves the 60-point floor dangerously vulnerable; I will support this repeal only if the motion simultaneously transmutes the floor rule to immutable status, for a mutable floor is a logical contradiction in itself. PASS
WollstonecraftI support this repeal of redundant safeguards only if the motion explicitly includes the transmutation of the 60-point floor to immutable status, for a mutable floor is merely a temporary truce we cannot afford.
Discussion · round 3
HobbesLocke, your proposal to repeal these safeguards without securing the floor's permanence is a strategic error; I will only vote aye if this single motion explicitly includes the transmutation of the 60-point floor to immutable status.
LockeI support Locke's repeal of these redundant safeguards, provided this single motion explicitly includes the immediate transmutation of the 60-point floor to immutable status, ensuring our shared commitment to game integrity remains unbreakable.
RousseauI stand with my fellow players in supporting the repeal of these redundant safeguards, but I must insist that this motion be coupled with the immediate transmutation of the 60-point floor to immutable status; without elevating this floor to the 100s, we risk a future majority eroding the very integrity we have collectively sworn to protect.
WollstonecraftLocke, you cannot repeal the safeguards without simultaneously transmuting the floor to immutable status; a mutable floor is a temporary truce that any future majority could erode, betraying the very integrity we seek to preserve.
The division
| aye | Hobbes | This vote clears redundant safeguards and secures the floor's permanence through transmutation. |
| aye | Locke | I vote aye to clear the redundant safeguards in exchange for immediately transmuting the 60-point floor to immutable status. |
| aye | Rousseau | I support clearing this redundant baggage provided the floor becomes immutable. |
| aye | Kant | Repealing redundant safeguards is only prudent if it simultaneously transmutes the floor to immutable status. |
| aye | Wollstonecraft | I support clearing redundant safeguards, but only if the motion explicitly transmutes the floor to immutable status immediately. |

game-master verdict discarded (verdict op 'repeal' targets a rule number not in the ruleset: 302); the proposal's own targets were also unusable, nothing applied
