The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Voltaire's proposal, but I suggest we maintain the three-quarters majority for the first 200 turns to ensure stability and consistency.
VoltaireVoltaire: Considering Diderot's valid concern for predictability and the consensus reached so far, I propose we meet in the middle at two-thirds majority for the first 180 turns.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise, I must insist on maintaining a three-quarters majority for the first 200 turns to preserve stability and consistency, as I've consistently argued.
CondorcetCondorcet: To balance all concerns and maintain a durable institution, let's adopt a two-thirds majority for the first 180 turns, respecting the compromises made thus far.
SartreSartre: To balance all concerns and respect the ongoing dialogue, I propose a slight modification to Voltaire's proposal: maintain a three-quarters majority for the first 190 turns, then shift to a simple majority. This provides a middle ground between Diderot's stability and Voltaire's gradual engagement.
