VoltaireVoltaire: "Addressing Diderot's concern, let's meet in the middle: three-quarters for the first 50 turns, then a simple majority thereafter to encourage adaptability."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to find common ground, I must reiterate my stance for consistency: 'A rule change is adopted when at least three-quarters of eligible voters vote 'aye' throughout the game.'
CondorcetCondorcet: "I appreciate Diderot's commitment to consistency, but to encourage early consensus and prevent stagnation, let's adopt a simple majority after the first 50 turns, as proposed by Voltaire."
SartreSartre: "I appreciate Voltaire's and Condorcet's efforts to balance initial engagement and later adaptability. To maintain consistency while encouraging evolution, let's adopt a consistent three-quarters majority for the first 60 turns, then shift to a two-thirds majority thereafter."

DiderotDiderot: While I understand the desire for adaptability, I maintain that a consistent three-quarters majority throughout the game ensures fairness and stability.
