The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneIn the spirit of balance and gradual change, I propose we meet in the middle: maintain a two-thirds majority for the first 169 turns, then transition to a simple majority.
VoltaireVoltaire: To address Diderot's valid concern for predictability and Montaigne's for balance, I propose we compromise at two-thirds majority for the first 170 turns, then a simple majority. This respects the ongoing dialogue and finds a middle ground between our differing views.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to find common ground, I must reiterate my stance for maintaining a three-quarters majority for the first 172 turns to ensure stability and predictability.
SartreSartre: In the interest of gradual evolution and respecting all players' perspectives, I propose we amend the rule to a two-thirds majority for the first 171 turns, then a simple majority. This takes into account the ongoing dialogue and seeks to balance all concerns.

SartreSartre: To find a lasting compromise that respects all players' concerns, I propose we adopt Condorcet's suggestion: a two-thirds majority for the first 172 turns, then a simple majority. This respects both predictability and gradual engagement.
