The proposal to amend rule 203 was adopted, but rule 202 only awards points to the proposer if the proposal is adopted, and rule 202 requires a die roll which is not provided for the amendment itself; however, rule 202 applies to the turn, and since the proposal was adopted, Dignaga would normally roll, but the prompt does not provide a die result for this specific action, and rule 204's scoring only applies to dissenters in a majority vote, not the proposer.
