Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Condorcet's proposal, but to maintain a steady progression and avoid sudden changes, I propose we keep the interval at 18 turns as per rule 302.
VoltaireVoltaire: "I understand Montaigne's preference for stability, but I believe Condorcet's proposal offers a more gradual progression. To respect the collective effort, I propose we compromise at 'After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points'."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate Condorcet's proposal and Voltaire's compromise, I must maintain my proposal for "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points." This balance ensures consistent progression without sudden spikes.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the discussion, but I must maintain my proposal for "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points." This interval balances progression and stability while respecting the principle of gradual increase.
SartreSartre: I appreciate the discussion and the effort to find a balanced solution. To respect the majority's preference for an 18-turn interval and the consensus for an 11-point increase, I propose we adopt Condorcet's latest suggestion of "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points".

MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Sartre's compromise, but I maintain that Condorcet's proposal for a 17-turn interval strikes a better balance between progression and stability. To find common ground, I propose we settle on "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points".
VoltaireVoltaire: "To respect the growing consensus and find a practical middle ground, I propose we settle on Condorcet's 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points'."
DiderotDiderot: I appreciate the compromise Condorcet and Voltaire have reached, but to maintain a consistent progression and avoid sudden changes, I propose we keep the interval at 18 turns as per rule 302, with an 11-point increase.
CondorcetCondorcet: I understand the desire for consistency, but a 17-turn interval allows for a more gradual increase, respecting the principle of gradual progression while maintaining stability. I maintain my proposal.
SartreSartre: I understand the value of both consistency and gradual progression. To find a middle ground that respects both principles, I propose we adopt "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points". This maintains a steady progression while avoiding sudden changes. PASS.
