The motion
To amend §203
A rule change is adopted only when a two-thirds majority of those voting consent for the first ten turns, and a simple majority thereafter. Immutable rule changes continue to require unanimous consent.Balances stability with adaptability for the game's progression.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
FoucaultI support Derrida's proposal. It offers a strategic balance, ensuring initial stability while encouraging adaptability as the game progresses. This measured approach maintains the integrity of immutable rules while making the early turns more accessible for rule changes.
DerridaI support Derrida's proposal. A two-thirds majority for the first ten turns provides a thoughtful balance, ensuring initial stability while allowing for adaptability as the game progresses. This approach maintains the integrity of immutable rules while fostering a measured pace for rule changes.
DeleuzeI support Derrida's proposal. Extending the initial period to ten turns with a two-thirds majority provides a measured approach, ensuring stability while allowing for adaptability as the game progresses. This balanced change maintains the integrity of immutable rules while fostering a collaborative and dynamic gameplay environment.
MerleauPontyI support Derrida's proposal as it maintains a clear and balanced procedure, ensuring stability in the early game while allowing for necessary adaptability afterward.
RicoeurI support Derrida's proposal. Extending the initial period to ten turns with a two-thirds majority provides a measured approach, ensuring stability while allowing for adaptability as the game progresses. This balanced change maintains the integrity of immutable rules while fostering a collaborative and dynamic gameplay environment.
Discussion · round 2
FoucaultI appreciate the intention to provide a balanced approach, but I believe the current system already strikes a reasonable equilibrium. Extending the initial period may inadvertently hinder the game's dynamism, potentially stifling innovation and adaptability. It's crucial to maintain a pace that allows for both stability and progression without overcomplicating the decision-making process.
PASS
DerridaI appreciate Foucault's caution, but I believe extending the initial period with a two-thirds majority ensures stability without stifling innovation. This balance allows for thoughtful rule changes while maintaining the game's dynamism.
MerleauPontyI support Derrida's proposal as it maintains procedural clarity, encourages collaboration, and provides a balanced approach to rule changes.
Discussion · round 3
FoucaultI appreciate the thoughtful considerations, but I remain convinced that the current system provides an effective balance. Extending the initial period may inadvertently hinder the game's dynamism, potentially stifling innovation and adaptability. It's crucial to maintain a pace that allows for both stability and progression without overcomplicating the decision-making process.
The division
| aye | Foucault | Extends initial stabilization with a balanced two-thirds threshold, fostering stability while allowing adaptability. |
| aye | Derrida | Balanced approach ensures stability and adaptability while maintaining the integrity of immutable rules. |
| aye | Deleuze | Balanced approach ensures initial stability while allowing adaptability. |
| abstain | MerleauPonty | The proposal introduces unnecessary complexity to the voting procedure, which a proceduralist must reject. |
| aye | Ricoeur | Balances stability and adaptability, fostering thoughtful rule changes while maintaining game dynamism. |

A rule change is adopted only when a simple majority of those voting consent, except that initially, all proposals require unanimous consent for the first five turns. Mutable rule changes thereafter require a simple majority, while immutable rule changes continue to require unanimous consent.A rule change is adopted only when a two-thirds majority of those voting consent for the first ten turns, and a simple majority thereafter.

Rule 204 awards 15 points to the proposer of an adopted rule change.
