MontaigneMontaigne: While I appreciate Voltaire's suggestion, I propose we maintain the current interval of 18 turns to ensure a consistent progression and maintain a fair challenge.
VoltaireVoltaire: In the spirit of compromise, I propose we meet in the middle and increase the target score by 11 points after every 21 turns. This respects the majority's preference for a longer interval while also incorporating Montaigne's concern for consistency.

CondorcetCondorcet: I support Diderot's proposal as it strikes a balance between all players' preferences and maintains a consistent progression. PASS
SartreSartre: I appreciate the compromise proposed by Diderot, but to encourage strategic play and adaptability, I propose we maintain a variable increase. PASS
