The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Voltaire's proposal, but to encourage gradual engagement and maintain a clear threshold shift, I suggest we adopt Sartre's latest refinement: three-quarters for the first 60 turns, then two-thirds for the next 60 turns, then three-quarters thereafter. This balances initial enthusiasm and later consistency.
VoltaireVoltaire: "Considering Montaigne's suggestion, I propose a compromise: two-thirds for the first 60 turns, then three-quarters for the next 60 turns, then two-thirds for the next 30 turns, then three-quarters thereafter. This respects the spirit of gradual engagement and maintains a clear threshold shift."
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' for all turns.' This maintains a clear threshold and encourages long-term engagement.
CondorcetCondorcet: While I appreciate the ongoing dialogue and the compromises proposed, I suggest we adopt a simple majority for the first 30 turns, then two-thirds for the next 30 turns, then three-quarters thereafter. This encourages initial engagement while maintaining a clear threshold shift and consistency in later turns.
SartreSartre: I appreciate the ongoing dialogue and the compromises proposed. To balance initial enthusiasm, gradual engagement, and long-term consistency, I propose a compromise: two-thirds for the first 30 turns, then three-quarters for the next 30 turns, then two-thirds for the next 30 turns, then three-quarters thereafter. This respects all players' concerns and encourages a gradual shift in the voting threshold.
