moves to amend §203A rule change is adopted only when a simple majority of those voting consent, except that initially, all proposals require unanimous consent.
Discussion · round 1
RicoeurOkay, so I'm Ricoeur, and I need to decide what to do on my turn. The current rule 203 requires unanimous consent for rule changes until after two full circuits of turns, then it drops to a simple majority. I proposed amending this to require a simple majority from the start, except that initially, all proposals need unanimous consent. Wait, that seems contradictory because initially, it would require unanimous consent, which is the current rule. Maybe I made a mistake in the proposal.
Wait, no, the current rule is that initially, it's unanimous, then after two circuits, it drops to a simple majority. My proposal is to invert that: a simple majority initially, except that after two circuits, it would require unanimous consent. That might make it harder to pass rules later, which could be strategic.
But thinking about it, maybe I should have proposed it the other way around. Alternatively, perhaps I should propose a different rule change that benefits me more directly, like adjusting the scoring system or turn order.
Alternatively, perhaps I should support another player's proposal if it aligns with my interests. But since it's my turn, I need to propose something. Maybe I should propose a rule that makes it easier for me to gain points or harder for others to block my proposals.
Wait, looking back, I proposed to change rule 203 to require a simple majority initially, except that after two circuits, it requires unanimous consent. But the current rule is the opposite. So, maybe I should explain why this change is beneficial. I can argue that allowing a simple majority at the start will make it easier to pass necessary rules quickly, fostering a more dynamic game, and then requiring unanimous consent later ensures that major changes are well-considered.
I can also point out that this change encourages more player participation and reduces the bottleneck of requiring everyone to agree on every initial proposal. This could lead to a more fluid game where players can experiment with different rule sets without the high barrier of unanimous consent.
Additionally, I can mention that this change aligns with the recent trend of reducing penalties for failed proposals, as both aim to encourage more experimentation and risk-taking in the ruleset.
In terms of my own position, if I can pass this amendment, I might be able to propose more changes that benefit me, such as increasing the points awarded for successful proposals or altering the turn order to give me more advantageous turns. However, I need to ensure that I can garner enough support for this proposal. Since the voting threshold is a contentious issue, I might need to convince others that this change is beneficial for the game as a whole.
I should also consider the potential opposition. Players who prefer stability might resist this change, arguing that it could lead to chaotic rule changes and make the game harder to manage. I can counter by emphasizing the benefits of a more adaptable and dynamic game, which can lead to more interesting and varied gameplay.
In summary, my proposal is to invert the voting threshold, making it a simple majority initially and requiring unanimous consent after two circuits. I believe this change will encourage more experimentation and dynamic gameplay, which is good for the game's evolution and can help me gain points by allowing more of my proposals to pass.

Discussion · round 1
DerridaDeleuze's proposal to repeal [206] is an interesting attempt to encourage more risk-taking and creativity in rule-making. However, completely removing the penalty for failed proposals might lead to abuse or excessive trivial proposals. Instead, I suggest adjusting the penalty to a smaller point loss, say 5 points, to still incentivize thoughtful proposals while allowing for more experimentation. This compromise balances the desire for innovation with the need to maintain some accountability.
MerleauPontyDeleuze's proposal to repeal [206] is intriguing, as it could encourage more creative and bold rule changes. However, eliminating the penalty entirely might lead to abuse or trivial proposals. I support Derrida's compromise of reducing the penalty to 5 points, as it balances innovation with accountability while respecting the procedural integrity of the game. This approach maintains the rules' clarity and prevents potential disruptions.
RicoeurDerrida and MerleauPonty make valid points about the potential for abuse if the penalty is removed entirely. However, reducing the penalty to 5 points maintains accountability while still encouraging more creative proposals. This compromise supports innovation without encouraging trivial changes, aligning with the game's goal of evolving through strategic rule changes.
Discussion · round 2
FoucaultDeleuze's proposal to repeal [206] is a step toward fostering more creativity, but I share concerns about potential abuse. However, maintaining the 10-point penalty seems overly harsh for failed proposals, which can stifle innovation.

FoucaultFoucault: I concur with Derrida's proposal. It offers a strategic balance, ensuring initial stability with a supermajority while allowing for adaptability later. This measured approach aligns with my preference for durable institutions and thoughtful amendments, fostering a balanced and enduring gameplay environment.
DerridaOkay, so the current rule is that all proposals need unanimous consent, except after two full circuits of turns (i.e., each player has had two turns), the threshold drops to a simple majority.
Derrida is proposing to change this so that after one full circuit (each player has had one turn), the threshold becomes a supermajority (3/5), and after two circuits, it's a simple majority.
In the previous vote, Foucault's proposal to change to a simple majority after one circuit failed, getting only 2 votes (Foucault and Derrida, perhaps). Now, Derrida's proposal is a supermajority, which is a higher threshold, so it's more restrictive in the first circuit but less restrictive after two.
The discussion shows that Foucault, Deleuze, and Ricoeur support Derrida's proposal. If Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, and Ricoeur vote yes (that's four votes), and assuming one more, it would pass with a supermajority. But since the current rule requires unanimous consent, the proposal needs all five votes to pass unless the threshold has dropped.
Wait, no, the current rule is that all proposals need unanimous consent except after two circuits. So currently, any proposal needs all five votes unless two circuits have passed.
Derrida's proposal is to change the threshold after one circuit to 3/5 and after two to simple majority. So for this proposal to pass, it needs to meet the current threshold, which is unanimous consent because it's before two circuits.
Therefore, all five players must vote yes for Derrida's proposal to pass. If any player votes no, it fails.
Looking at the discussion, Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, and Ricoeur are supportive. MerleauPonty hasn't commented yet, but in the previous vote, MerleauPonty voted against Foucault's proposal. So it's possible MerleauPonty might vote against Derrida's proposal as well.
If MerleauPonty votes no, then Derrida's proposal fails, just like Foucault's did. But if MerleauPonty decides to support, it passes.
Alternatively, maybe MerleauPonty is undecided and Derrida can convince them. But since the discussion is supportive, perhaps MerleauPonty will support.
In any case, Derrida's proposal is a strategic move to make the initial threshold higher (supermajority after one circuit) and then lower (simple majority after two). This could encourage more stability in the early game and allow for more changes later, which might benefit Derrida as the proposer.
So, Derrida should push for this, emphasizing the balance between stability and adaptability, which seems to have garnered support from multiple players.

FoucaultPassing a rule change with simple majority consent from the start could streamline the game, making it more efficient and responsive to the collective will of the players. While it may lower the barrier for amendments, it also ensures that decisions can be made more promptly, fostering a more dynamic and adaptive gameplay experience. This change respects the principle of majority rule, which is a fair and enduring institution in democratic processes.
DerridaFoucault's proposal to switch to a simple majority for rule changes could make the game more dynamic, but it's worth considering the impact on consensus and gridlock. Perhaps a middle ground—like requiring a supermajority initially, then dropping to a simple majority after a few turns—would balance efficiency and agreement. This approach respects the need for unity early on while allowing for quicker decisions later.
MerleauPontyFoucault's proposal to adopt a simple majority from the start risks destabilizing the game by lowering the barrier for rule changes too early. Derrida's suggestion of a supermajority initially, followed by a simple majority, offers a balanced approach that preserves stability while allowing for future adaptability.
