VP Congress: Session 2, Proposal 1
Proposal: Currently the decolonization proposal forces a single player to drop all of their CS influence to 50. The proposal is to change it to ALL players sharing this fate.
Rationale: Decolonization is an exceptionally powerful and penalizing proposal, able to completely shift the game, and devastate all of the influence work a player has done over the entire game. The idea here is to shift this proposal to be similar to nuclear disarmament. While there will always be people that benefit more from this proposal this others, it is now set up as a "soft reset" of the CS game that doesn't give any player a major advantage over the others.
Effectively everyone is put back on the starting line, the gun goes off, and all players can now chase for the CS again. It creates a dynamic new challenge in the mid game, without giving any one player a major advantage. It also prevents shenanigans like a player decoloing an opponent, taking all of their CS allies in the switch over, and then declaring on them, gaining a sudden and massive war advantage.
