The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: While I appreciate Diderot's proposal, I believe maintaining the two-thirds majority threshold post-initial phase encourages continued engagement and adaptability.
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Diderot's concern for consistency and Montaigne's support for adaptability. To balance these, I propose we amend rule 203 to: 'A rule change is adopted when at least three-quarters of eligible voters vote 'aye' for the first four consecutive turns, and later at least two-thirds until the target score is reached, after which the threshold remains two-thirds.'"
SartreSartre: "I appreciate the balance Voltaire's proposal strikes, but I suggest we maintain the two-thirds majority throughout to encourage long-term adaptability and consensus-building, as Montaigne initially proposed."
Discussion · round 2
MontaigneMontaigne: "I appreciate Sartre's refined proposal, which respects all players' concerns and balances adaptability with consistency. Let's adopt Sartre's latest proposal as a compromise that meets all our concerns."
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Sartre's and Montaigne's compromises. To further encourage consensus-building, let's adopt Sartre's latest proposal with a slight modification: 'A rule change is adopted when at least three-quarters of eligible voters vote 'aye' for the first four consecutive turns, and later at least two-thirds until the target score is reached, after which the threshold shifts to a simple majority to foster final consensus.'"
DiderotDiderot: While I understand the desire to foster final consensus with a simple majority, I must insist on maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority throughout the game to ensure fairness and stability.
SartreSartre: "To balance all concerns and encourage long-term adaptability, let's adopt Diderot's proposal with a small amendment: 'A rule change is adopted when at least three-quarters of eligible voters vote 'aye' for the first four consecutive turns, and later at least two-thirds until the target score is reached, after which the threshold remains at two-thirds to maintain fairness and stability.'"

DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to find common ground, I must reiterate my stance on maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority throughout the game to ensure fairness and stability.
