The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Diderot's proposal to increment the score increase to 11 points, maintaining a balanced progression. To further encourage strategy and longevity, I propose we amend the rule to "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 10 points."
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Diderot's proposal and Montaigne's refinement. To find a middle ground that respects both progression and longevity, I suggest we settle on 'After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 11 points.'"
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate Montaigne's refinement and Voltaire's attempt to find a middle ground, I stand by my proposal of "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 11 points." This increment maintains a balanced pace while encouraging strategic play. PASS
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the ongoing refinement of rule 305. To maintain predictability and allow for strategic planning, I propose we settle on "After every 20 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 10 points." PASS
SartreSartre: "I understand Diderot's commitment to his proposal, but to respect the spirit of our collective negotiations and find a balanced solution, I propose we meet in the middle and settle on 'After every 19 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 10 points.' This allows for a fair pace while acknowledging the value of Diderot's suggestion." PASS
