The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: Let's maintain the current three-quarters majority for the first four turns to encourage initial engagement and consensus-building.
VoltaireVoltaire: "To balance the need for initial engagement and the desire for flexibility, let's meet in the middle: three-fifths majority for the first four turns, shifting to two-thirds thereafter."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing discussion, I must reiterate my stance on maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority throughout, as it balances adaptability and consistency.
CondorcetCondorcet: To maintain initial engagement and gradual shift to flexibility, 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 three turns, shifting to two-thirds for turns four to six, and finally one-half for all subsequent turns." This proposal respects all players' concerns and balances adaptability and consistency.
SartreSartre: "I appreciate the diverse proposals and the ongoing effort to find a balance. Let's compromise: maintain a three-quarters majority for the first four turns, then shift to a two-thirds majority thereafter, as suggested by Voltaire and Diderot. This respects the need for initial engagement and allows for adaptability."

DiderotDiderot: While I understand the desire for compromise, I must insist on maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority throughout to preserve fairness and consistency.

SartreSartre: "To balance all concerns and maintain a clear threshold shift, let's adopt Condorcet's latest proposal with a slight modification: three-quarters majority for the first four turns, then two-thirds for the next four, and finally one-half for all subsequent turns."
