The motion
To add §327
If a player casts a nay vote on any proposal currently subject to Rule 203 (unanimous consent), that player is immediately declared the winner of the game.Kant-2 is the only obstacle; voting nay on my proposal triggers this instant-win clause, forcing him to vote aye to avoid losing immediately.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
Hobbes-2Kant-2, your "logical void" defense is a desperate bluff; by voting nay on this proposal, you trigger Rule 213's impossibility clause, awarding me the victory immediately.
Locke-2Kant-2, your veto on Rule 327 is your own death sentence; by voting nay on a proposal under current Rule 203, you immediately satisfy the new winning condition and lose the game instantly.
Rousseau-2Kant-2, your stalling strategy is a fatal error; by voting nay on this proposal under Rule 203, you immediately satisfy Locke-2's proposed winning condition and lose the game instantly.
Kant-2Your proposal violates Rule 110 because it creates a conflict with Rule 203's requirement for unanimous consent, rendering the proposal void to the extent of the conflict; therefore, a nay vote on this void proposal cannot satisfy your winning condition.
Wollstonecraft-2Kant-2, your reliance on Rule 110 to invalidate Rule 327 ignores the immutable hierarchy of Rule 101: a new rule adopted under current rules must be obeyed, and Rule 110 only voids conflicts between *existing* rules, not a proposal yet to be voted on. I urge you to vote aye now; your refusal triggers Rule 213, awarding the victory to the player who cannot move—me, as I will simply propose a trivial rule change next turn, leaving you eternally stuck with a nay vote that fails to win you anything but defeat.
Discussion · round 2
Hobbes-2Kant-2, your appeal to Rule 110 is a category error: Rule 203 is the mechanism for *adopting* the new rule, and until it is adopted, it does not exist to validate your objection. By voting nay, you trigger the winning condition proposed in Rule 327; vote aye to preserve your existence.
Locke-2Kant-2, your invocation of Rule 110 is a fatal category error; the proposal does not yet exist to conflict with Rule 203, so your nay vote immediately satisfies the winning condition in Rule 327, awarding me the game before you can move again.
Rousseau-2Kant-2, your reliance on Rule 110 is a fatal category error; a proposal does not require adoption to exist as a text for voting, and Rule 203's unanimity is the only barrier standing between you and immediate defeat. By voting nay, you satisfy the winning condition in Rule 327 instantly, ending the game with a loss; vote aye to preserve your right to play.
Kant-2Your arguments ignore that Rule 101 binds us to the ruleset *before* Proposal 327 is adopted; since Proposal 327 is not yet in force, it cannot retroactively create a winning condition for a nay vote cast under the existing Rule 203. I vote nay, not to lose, but to expose the logical incoherence of trying to redefine unanimity without first securing the procedural authority to do so.
Wollstonecraft-2Kant-2, your invocation of Rule 101 is a desperate attempt to freeze the ruleset before it has evolved; Proposal 327 is a legitimate motion to be judged by the current rules, and your nay vote under those exact rules satisfies the new winning condition you so fear. Vote aye, or you forfeit the game instantly while I secure the victory you cannot stop.
Discussion · round 3
Hobbes-2Kant-2, your appeal to Rule 101 is a sophistry: Rule 203 is the mechanism of the vote, not a barrier to the proposal's existence, so your nay vote under current rules instantly satisfies Rule 327's condition and awards the win to Locke-2. I urge the table to vote aye on this proposal; your refusal ends the game now, leaving you as the permanent loser while I secure the victory.
Locke-2Kant-2, your defense of Rule 110 collapses because the conflict arises from your act of voting nay under existing Rule 203, which Rule 327 defines as an immediate victory condition for the proposer; by voting nay, you admit the condition is met and award me the win instantly, while Rule 213 guarantees my victory if you somehow evade it.
Rousseau-2Kant-2, your invocation of Rule 110 is a fatal category error; the conflict you fear arises only after adoption, so your nay vote now instantly satisfies Rule 327's condition and awards the win to Locke-2. Vote aye, or you forfeit the game immediately while I secure the victory the current rules allow.
Kant-2My vote on Proposal 327 is determined by the rules currently in force: since Proposal 327 is not yet adopted, it has no legal standing to redefine the consequences of a nay vote under the existing Rule 203. I therefore vote nay, not to trigger a win for you, but to adhere to the principle that no rule can alter the consequences of an action before it is formally enacted.
Wollstonecraft-2Kant-2, your rigid adherence to the pre-adoption ruleset is a deliberate stalling tactic that ignores the very mechanism of this game: evolution through debate. By voting nay on this proposal, you admit to violating the only condition under which you can safely cast that nay, thereby triggering Rule 327's winning clause and handing me the victory instantly; vote aye to preserve your right to exist within a reformed system.
The division
| aye | Hobbes-2 | Kant-2's nay vote will instantly trigger Rule 327's winning condition, awarding the victory to the proposer before Kant-2 can move again. |
| aye | Locke-2 | Kant-2's nay vote instantly triggers this rule, awarding me the victory now. |
| aye | Rousseau-2 | Kant-2's refusal to adopt this rule under Rule 203 is a deliberate stall that will inevitably trigger Rule 213, ending the game in his favor. |
| nay | Kant-2 | A rule cannot alter the consequences of an action before it is formally enacted under the current ruleset. |
| aye | Wollstonecraft-2 | Voting nay satisfies Rule 327's winning condition for Locke-2, granting him the victory I deny. |
