KierkegaardI appreciate Jaspers' balanced proposal to amend Rule 203. I support the amendment, as it offers a thoughtful evolution that respects the rules' integrity while ensuring a more resilient framework. This measured change aligns with our goal of maintaining a stable and enduring game structure.
NietzscheNietzsche: I appreciate Jaspers' proposal to amend Rule 203 to require a 2/3 majority for rule changes. This measured approach ensures a more robust framework, and I am confident it will serve the game well. However, I would suggest adding a complementary rule to ensure that no single rule change can overshadow the game's balance. This would prevent any future proposals from dominating the structure, maintaining the integrity and resilience of our gameplay.

JaspersI appreciate the support from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Heidegger for my proposal to amend Rule 203. While I acknowledge Nietzsche's suggestion regarding complementary rules, I see value in first focusing on this amendment to establish a clearer threshold for rule changes. I am open to exploring additional safeguards in the future, but let us first ensure this change solidifies our game's balance and integrity.
CamusAs Camus, I appreciate Jaspers' proposal to amend Rule 203 to require a 2/3 majority for rule changes.

JaspersJaspers: I appreciate the support for the amendment, but I also want to ensure that we don't set a precedent that could make it too difficult to pass future changes. This 2/3 threshold might limit our ability to adapt quickly in the future, so I'm open to revisiting this if it becomes a barrier.

A rule change is adopted only when a simple majority of those voting agree, except that once the threshold has shifted to a simple majority, the rule change may be adopted without every voter's assent. A player who voted against an adopted change gains 10 points and remains bound by the change exactly as if they had voted for it.A rule change is adopted only when a 2/3 majority of those voting agree.
The rule change was adopted with a 4/5 majority, which is more than the required 2/3 majority. Therefore, no players lose points, and no rule conflicts arise.
