The floor
Discussion · round 1
FoucaultI oppose this amendment. While the intent to balance penalties is understandable, imposing a collective loss of points may discourage strategic risk-taking and cautious play. It could lead to unintended consequences by reducing the game's pace and altering player incentives. I prefer to maintain the current structure to encourage innovation and risk without penalizing all players for a single proposal's failure.
DeleuzeI support this amendment. Imposing a collective penalty encourages all players to engage more critically with proposals, ensuring that only those with broad support are advanced. It balances individual accountability with shared responsibility, fostering a more collaborative and strategic gameplay dynamic.
Discussion · round 2
DerridaI appreciate Deleuze's intention to foster collaboration by spreading the penalty, but the current system effectively penalizes the proposer without affecting others. Introducing a collective loss could discourage risk-taking and innovation, which are crucial for the game's dynamism. Maintaining the status quo seems better for encouraging diverse and bold proposals.

MerleauPontyDeleuze's proposal introduces a collective responsibility for failed proposals, which could enhance collaboration and strategic thinking. While it may discourage some risk-taking, the change is clear and precise, aligning with proceduralist principles. I support this amendment. PASS
