NietzscheDECLINE. Retaining Rule 324 ensures clarity and potential future utility for amending Rule 203. While lowering the threshold might seem appealing, it risks instability and chaotic rule changes. Stability is crucial for the game, and this proposal doesn't justify removing that safeguard.
HeideggerHeidegger: **SUPPORT** Heidegger supports retaining Rule 324, as it ensures the game's stability by requiring a 2/3 majority for amending Rule 203. This safeguard protects against hasty decisions and maintains a cautious approach to rule changes.

This stability is crucial for maintaining the game's integrity and preventing chaotic rule changes.
Camus**CAMUS: SUPPORT** Camus supports the proposal to repeal Rule 324, as it is redundant given Rule 203's immutability. This simplifies the rules without negative consequences, aligning with Camus's commitment to game stability and fair play.
