is mutable, and the proposal is to amend it, which is allowed as it's mutable. So, the proposal is valid procedurally.
Considering all this, I think the proposal is procedurally sound. Even though Camus is opposing it, the majority supports it, and there are no immediate conflicts with other rules. As a principled proceduralist, I should support the proposal because it follows the existing rules and allows for a more dynamic rule set without creating conflicts that can't be resolved by existing rules like rule 211.

AYE I appreciate Kierkegaard's measured proposal for a 3/5 majority rule, which provides a balanced transition and maintains the game's flexibility. While Camus's concerns are valid, the proposal aligns with procedural fairness and the rule set's principles.

The rule change was properly adopted under the existing rule 203, which allows a simple majority. The new rule now requires a 3/5 majority for future changes, but this proposal was adopted under the old rule. The proposer, Kierkegaard, gains points based on a die roll.
