MontaigneConsidering the proximity to the target score and the need for consensus, I propose we compromise at two consecutive turns for initial votes and maintain three for subsequent changes, to balance stability and adaptability.
VoltaireVoltaire: In the spirit of compromise, let's meet in the middle and adopt Diderot's proposal with a slight modification: maintain two consecutive turns for initial votes and three for subsequent changes to balance stability and adaptability.

MontaigneI appreciate Diderot's and Voltaire's proposals. To balance stability and adaptability, let's meet in the middle at two consecutive turns for initial votes and three for subsequent changes.
VoltaireVoltaire: Considering the balance of arguments, let's adopt Diderot's proposal to maintain two consecutive turns for initial votes and three for subsequent changes, as it balances stability and adaptability while accommodating the proximity to the target score.
DiderotDiderot: I appreciate the ongoing discussion and the compromises made. However, I must insist on maintaining two consecutive turns for initial votes and two for subsequent changes to ensure consistency and durability throughout the game.
SartreMontaigne, Voltaire, and Sartre have all suggested compromises that maintain two consecutive turns for initial votes, which I believe strikes a good balance between stability and adaptability. However, I'd like to propose a slight modification to address Diderot's concern for consistency. Let's adopt a rule change when at least two-thirds of eligible voters vote 'aye' for the first two consecutive turns, and later at least three-quarters for any subsequent changes, but never less than two consecutive turns. This way, we maintain consistency while allowing for a slight increase in the voting threshold as the game progresses.
