VoltaireVoltaire: "In the spirit of consensus-building, let's meet Montaigne halfway. I propose we maintain three-quarters for the first three turns, shifting to two-thirds thereafter."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise, maintaining a consistent threshold encourages strategic voting and engagement. I propose we maintain three-quarters majority for all votes.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the ongoing efforts to find a balance between consensus and efficiency. To maintain predictability and encourage strategic engagement, I propose we maintain three-quarters majority for the first four turns and two-thirds thereafter, as initially proposed.

MontaigneMontaigne: Montaigne: Considering the balance of arguments and the desire for a clear threshold shift, let's adopt Sartre's refined proposal: three-quarters majority for the first four turns, then a simple majority.
VoltaireVoltaire: "In the spirit of compromise and consensus, I propose we meet in the middle: three-quarters majority for the first three turns, then two-thirds thereafter, as suggested by Sartre and supported by Montaigne."
DiderotDiderot: While I understand the latest compromise, I must insist on maintaining a consistent three-quarters majority for all votes to ensure fairness and predictability.

SartreSartre: "In the interest of encouraging long-term engagement and adaptability, let's maintain three-quarters majority for the first four turns, then shift to a two-thirds majority thereafter."

This respects everyone's concerns and encourages long-term engagement."
