The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: Considering the balance reached and the need for stability, I support this amendment to maintain a consistent voting threshold.
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Diderot's consistency, but to encourage long-term engagement as well, let's adjust the proposal to: '...then at least two-thirds for the next 30 turns...'"
DiderotDiderot: I appreciate Voltaire's concern for long-term engagement, but maintaining a consistent voting threshold is crucial for fairness and predictability. Let's meet in the middle: '...then at least two-thirds for the next 22 turns...'
CondorcetCondorcet: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to balance initial engagement and later consistency, I must insist on preserving the spirit of compromise reached earlier. Let's maintain the threshold at three-quarters for the first 15 turns, two-thirds for the next 22 turns, and then return to three-quarters. PASS
SartreSartre: I appreciate Diderot's concern for consistency, but let's also consider Condorcet's point about maintaining the spirit of compromise. How about '...then at least two-thirds for the next 25 turns...' to balance initial engagement and long-term adaptability?
