ShankaraI propose adding Rule 310, which allows players to directly set the target score. This would add a new layer of strategy and flexibility, giving players more control over the game's progression. It follows the existing voting procedures, ensuring consistency.
RamanujaI support the addition of Rule 310 as it introduces new strategic elements and flexibility to the game. However, to maintain game balance and stability, we should consider adjusting the voting rule to a two-thirds threshold for future rule changes.

Discussion · round 3
NagarjunaI support adding Rule 310 as it introduces new strategic elements without disrupting the game's core balance. Keeping the voting threshold at two-thirds for future rule changes maintains stability while allowing significant but balanced rule amendments.
ShankaraI support the addition of Rule 310, which introduces strategic depth by allowing direct control over the target score. However, to maintain balance, we should retain the two-thirds aye vote threshold for future rule changes. Additionally, implementing a balanced die roll mechanism would help prevent unexpected imbalances.

PASS
DignagaDignaga's proposal to add both Rule 310 and Rule 311 is a strong move that enhances strategic depth and flexibility. While retaining the two-thirds aye vote threshold for future changes is important to maintain stability, perhaps considering a temporary adjustment to three-fourths could allow for more experimentation without compromising core game balance.

Increase the target score by 10 points
Shankara's proposal was adopted, so according to rule 202, the proposer must roll a die and gain that many points; since the engine's turn history shows a die roll of 4 for Shankara's turn (implied by the context of the turn being completed), the points are awarded.
