The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Voltaire's proposal, which extends the initial high threshold for a longer period. However, I suggest we maintain the three-quarters threshold throughout the first 30 turns to encourage early consensus and then shift to a simple majority.
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Montaigne's refinement. To balance early consensus and long-term adaptability, let's adopt a simple majority after 50 turns instead of 40."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the extended initial threshold, I must insist on maintaining a consistent three-quarters majority throughout the first 30 turns to preserve stability and consensus early in the game.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the ongoing efforts to balance initial engagement and long-term adaptability. To respect all players' concerns, let's adopt Voltaire's latest proposal with a minor adjustment: maintain a three-quarters majority throughout the first 30 turns, then shift to a simple majority after 50 turns. PASS
SartreSartre: Let's adopt Condorcet's proposal, which strikes a fair balance between initial consensus and long-term adaptability, while respecting all players' concerns. PASS
