NietzscheNietzsche: "Kierkegaard's 2/3 majority proposal is an interesting thought, but I believe the current rule change, allowing for a simple majority once the threshold shifts, offers a fairer balance. Let us respect the evolving ruleset while ensuring the game remains as inclusive as possible. I am open to further refinements but see value in the current direction."

He supports the transition to a simple majority, seeing it as a practical and inclusive compromise that respects the rules' integrity while allowing necessary adjustments.

Wait, no, that's not correct. Camus is a reformer who wants to evolve the game. So he should support Kierkegaard's proposal to change Rule 203 to a 2/3 majority. Because it's a way to make the rule change process more robust and give more power to the players, aligning with his beliefs. So the final answer should be:
