The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Voltaire's proposal, but to maintain a clear threshold shift and encourage long-term engagement, I propose we maintain a three-quarters majority throughout.
VoltaireVoltaire: Considering Montaigne's concern for long-term engagement, I propose a compromise: a two-thirds majority for the first three turns, shifting to a three-quarters majority thereafter.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to balance adaptability and consistency, I must reiterate my stance on maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority throughout.
CondorcetCondorcet: To respect all players' concerns, let's adopt a two-thirds majority throughout, as Diderot consistently advocates.
SartreI appreciate the diverse perspectives. To find common ground and respect long-term engagement, I propose a compromise: maintain a two-thirds majority for the first five turns, then shift to a three-quarters majority. This way, we encourage initial engagement while still allowing for adaptation.
Discussion · round 2
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Sartre's latest compromise, which respects initial engagement and allows for long-term adaptability. Let's adopt this proposal.
VoltaireVoltaire: "In the spirit of compromise, let's meet in the middle: maintain two-thirds majority for the first five turns, then shift to three-quarters thereafter, as Sartre has proposed."
DiderotDiderot: While I understand the desire for compromise, I must insist on maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority throughout for fairness and predictability.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate all the proposed compromises. To respect each player's concerns and find common ground, let's adopt a simple majority for the first five turns and a two-thirds majority thereafter, as it balances initial engagement and long-term adaptability.
SartreSartre: In light of Condorcet's latest proposal, which balances initial engagement and long-term adaptability, I suggest we adopt it as a compromise that respects all players' concerns.
