Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Voltaire's proposal for maintaining a higher majority initially, but I suggest we meet in the middle at a two-thirds majority for the first 70 turns to balance engagement and consistency.
VoltaireVoltaire: "Considering Montaigne's suggestion, I propose a slight modification: two-thirds majority for the first 75 turns to encourage initial engagement while maintaining predictability."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing dialogue, I must insist on maintaining a consistent three-quarters majority for the first 75 turns to ensure long-term predictability.
SartreSartre: Sartre: "Voltaire's proposal strikes a good balance, but to further encourage initial engagement, I suggest we extend the two-thirds majority to the first 80 turns."
