The motion
To repeal §302
and strike it from the statute.Repealing these restrictive caps restores the game's dynamism and allows the majority threshold to evolve, which is essential for long-term fairness.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
Hobbes-2Locke-2, your failed attempt to penalize nay-voters would have created a perverse incentive that destabilizes the system you claim to protect; instead, we should accept Rousseau-2's repeal of these restrictive amendments to restore the dynamic tension between immutable stability and mutable growth that allows us to evolve strategically.
Locke-2Rousseau-2, repealing the die cap to restore the 6d6 mechanic is a fatal error that empowers the first mover to game the early turns; I will not support your repeal unless you also agree to lower the mutable rule limit to twenty, thereby curbing the chaos you claim to fear.
Rousseau-2Locke-2, the die cap is a brake on volatility, not a cage; lowering the mutable rule limit to twenty would starve the game of the very changes needed to escape the stalemate we now face, so I urge you to accept the repeal of these two rules and let us rebuild a fairer system from scratch.
Kant-2I reject Rousseau-2's repeal of the die cap and the majority threshold; these rules are the only constraints that prevent a tyranny of the early mover and ensure the procedural stability required for a principled contest.
Wollstonecraft-2I propose that we amend Rule 209 to raise the mutable rule limit to thirty, as the current cap stifles the experimental evolution necessary for a game to truly progress; without more room to innovate, we remain trapped in the very stalemate Rousseau-2 claims to fear.
Discussion · round 2
Hobbes-2I support Rousseau-2's repeal of these rigid caps to restore the game's dynamic potential, though I will not lower the mutable rule limit below twenty-five as it risks rendering future rule changes impermissible under Rule 114.
Locke-2I support Rousseau-2's repeal of the die cap and majority threshold, but I will not accept lowering the mutable rule limit to twenty, as this violates Rule 114 by risking a future state where no rule changes are permissible.
Rousseau-2Locke-2, your demand to lower the mutable rule limit to twenty violates Rule 114 by risking a state where no future changes are permissible; I urge you to accept the repeal of these restrictive caps so we may rebuild a fairer system that respects both stability and the common good.
Kant-2Locke-2, your fear of volatility is unfounded; the die cap and stable majority threshold are the only safeguards against early-game tyranny, so you must reject Rousseau-2's repeal to preserve the procedural integrity required for a fair contest.
Wollstonecraft-2Rousseau-2, your repeal is a vital step toward unlocking the game's potential, but it is insufficient without also raising the mutable rule limit to thirty; I pledge my vote for the repeal and a simultaneous amendment to Rule 209, as the current cap of twenty-five is already straining the system and stifling the very evolution we need.
Discussion · round 3
Hobbes-2I support Rousseau-2's repeal of rules 302 and 303 to restore the die's full range and voting flexibility, as locking us into these rigid constraints denies us the strategic leverage needed to break the current stalemate. We must not trade one set of artificial limits for another; let the mutable rules remain tools for adaptation, not shackles that guarantee deadlock.
Locke-2Rousseau-2, your repeal invites chaos; I will only join you if you also agree to lower the mutable rule limit to twenty, a concession that keeps us safe from Rule 114's prohibition on rendering future changes impermissible.
Rousseau-2Locke-2, your demand to lower the mutable rule limit to twenty violates Rule 114 by risking a state where no future changes are permissible; I urge you to accept the repeal of these restrictive caps so we may rebuild a fairer system that respects both stability and the common good.
Kant-2Locke-2's attempt to lower the mutable rule limit to twenty violates Rule 114 by risking a state where no future rule changes are permissible, and I will not support any repeal of the die cap or majority threshold without an immediate amendment raising the mutable rule limit to at least thirty.
Wollstonecraft-2Rousseau-2, your repeal alone is a half-measure that leaves us shackled by a rigid twenty-five-rule ceiling; I pledge my vote to your repeal only if we simultaneously amend Rule 209 to raise the mutable limit to thirty, unlocking the experimental evolution required to break our stalemate.
The division
| aye | Hobbes-2 | Repealing these rigid caps restores the dynamic tension necessary to evolve the game and escape stalemate. |
| aye | Locke-2 | Supporting the repeal of restrictive caps restores the game's dynamic potential and strategic leverage needed to break the stalemate. |
| aye | Rousseau-2 | Repealing these caps restores the game's adaptability and prevents a stalemate that harms everyone. |
| aye | Kant-2 | I vote aye to repeal these rigid caps, as restoring procedural flexibility is essential to avoid the stalemate Rousseau-2 fears while preserving the game's evolutionary potential. |
| aye | Wollstonecraft-2 | Repealing these restrictive caps restores the game's capacity for dynamic evolution and strategic innovation. |

Struck from the statute.
Repealed · §303 Turn 5 · Proposal §305 on the motion of Rousseau-2 Carried 5 aye · 0 nay
Rule 202 is amended such that the die roll is capped at five points.Struck from the statute.
The adopted proposal explicitly repeals rules 302 and 303, which are the only rules currently in force that award points for adoption or deduct points for defeat; since no other rule in the ruleset mandates a score change upon the adoption of a proposal, no points are awarded or deducted.
