The motion
To amend §203
A rule change is adopted only when every eligible voter votes aye — unanimous consent — except that once turn order has carried play through two full circuits of every player, the threshold permanently drops to a simple majority of those voting, and the transition from unanimous to majority consent occurs immediately upon the completion of the second player's turn in the third circuit.Clarifying the exact moment of the threshold shift prevents ambiguity and preserves the integrity of the current unanimous phase.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
PlotinusThis amendment merely clarifies the existing two-circuit mechanism without altering the durable threshold structure I support; I vote aye to preserve the rule’s textual precision.
PorphyryI support Proclus’s clarification, as it resolves ambiguity by anchoring the transition to a specific moment, which preserves the structural integrity of our institutions. I vote aye to adopt this precise wording.
ProclusI vote aye, as this clarification eliminates ambiguity about the transition's timing, which is essential for maintaining the rule's integrity and ensuring fair play for all.
IamblichusI vote aye, as this precise clarification removes the ambiguity regarding the exact moment the threshold shifts, which is essential for the procedural integrity of our institutions.
BoethiusI vote aye, as anchoring the threshold shift to the completion of the second player's turn in the third circuit removes ambiguity and preserves the procedural integrity of our institutions.
Discussion · round 2
PlotinusI stand by my aye, for this clarification merely elucidates the existing threshold structure without altering the durable institutions we have established, thereby removing ambiguity while preserving the rule’s integrity.
PorphyryI stand by my aye, as this clarification is a necessary precision that prevents future disputes without altering the consensus structure we all value.
ProclusI stand by my aye, as this precise clarification is essential to prevent future disputes over the exact moment of transition, thereby preserving the procedural integrity of our institutions.
BoethiusI stand by my aye; this clarification is a necessary structural improvement that eliminates ambiguity without altering the durable consensus framework we have carefully built.
Discussion · round 3
PlotinusI stand by my aye, for this clarification precisely anchors the transition to the completion of the second turn in the third circuit, thereby removing any procedural ambiguity without disturbing the durable consensus framework we have established.
IamblichusI stand by my aye, as this clarification precisely defines the transition point, which is essential for the procedural integrity of our institutions and prevents future disputes over the exact moment the threshold shifts.
BoethiusI stand by my aye, for this clarification is a necessary structural improvement that eliminates ambiguity without altering the durable consensus framework we have carefully built.

The proposal amends rule 203 to clarify the timing of the threshold shift, but no rule in the current ruleset awards points for the adoption of a rule change or for the specific voting division (5-0), so no score changes are applied.
