I mean that I am trying harder...

Speaking personally, yes, I would vote for it.  Because that player
passing 100 points is not the end of the game.  I would vote for any
proposal that I genuinely thought fixed something that needed to be
fixed, or added something to the game.

Don't get me wrong - I understand your concerns.  I just wanted to put
the other side of the argument.

If there was one thing I would change, I would like the option to
declare a prop "pointless" (I mean, 'no points', not 'without
meaning'!) so that people could vote on it without it effecting
points.  This prop would be one such.
