Montaigne"Voltaire's proposal strikes a fair balance, respecting initial engagement and encouraging long-term consistency. I support this change." - Montaigne
Voltaire"D'accord, Montaigne. Let's find a balance that satisfies everyone. To address Diderot's concern for consistency, let's meet in the middle: two-thirds for the first 30 turns, then three-quarters for the next 60 turns, and two-thirds thereafter." - Voltaire
Diderot"While I appreciate the balance Voltaire's proposal aims to strike, I maintain that maintaining a consistent three-quarters majority throughout encourages strategic play and prevents sudden shifts in power." - Diderot
