FoucaultDerrida's proposal to remove the 10-point gain for those voting against adopted changes could simplify the incentive structure. It reduces the strategic advantage of opposing rule changes and focuses on the quality of debate rather than point-driven resistance. This amendment would encourage players to vote based on the merits of the proposal rather than the potential points, fostering a more collaborative environment. I support this change as it aligns with creating a balanced and measured approach to rule modification.
DerridaDerrida's proposal to remove the 10-point gain for those voting against adopted changes is a thoughtful attempt to streamline the incentive structure. By eliminating this reward for opposition, it reduces the temptation to vote against changes purely for points, encouraging players to engage more genuinely with the merits of proposals. This aligns with the goal of fostering a more collaborative and less adversarial environment. I support this amendment as it shifts the focus to constructive debate rather than point-driven resistance.
