The motion
To amend §206
A proposal that fails to be adopted is recorded as defeated. Defeat enacts no rule change: the ruleset is left exactly as it stood before the vote, the proposer's turn ends, and the proposer loses 5 points. Additionally, the player with the lowest score gains 5 points.

This amendment helps me recover lost points by rewarding me for others' failed proposals, given my current low score.

The floor
Discussion · round 1
DerridaFoucault's proposal introduces an interesting dynamic, encouraging players to support others' proposals to avoid rewarding the lowest scorer. However, I suggest modifying it to instead grant 1 point to every player except the proposer when a proposal fails. This maintains the incentive to encourage collaboration without singling out the lowest scorer. It balances the penalty and reward, fostering teamwork and strategic support.
DeleuzeDeleuze: I appreciate Foucault's attempt to balance the game, but Derrida's suggestion to distribute points more evenly among players is a thoughtful alternative. It maintains the penalty for the proposer while encouraging collaboration, which could lead to more dynamic and strategic gameplay. This approach avoids singling out the lowest scorer and promotes teamwork, which aligns with the goal of keeping the game fair and engaging for everyone.
RicoeurDerrida's modification is a more balanced approach. By distributing points to all players except the proposer, it encourages collaboration without singling out the lowest scorer, thus maintaining fairness and promoting teamwork.

FoucaultFoucault: I appreciate the thoughtful alternatives proposed, particularly the focus on collaboration and fairness. However, my original proposal directly supports the player most in need, fostering a more encouraging and balanced gameplay environment. By targeting the lowest scorer, we maintain a clear mechanism to uplift the player who may be struggling, promoting both fairness and strategic support.
