The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Sartre's proposal for its balance, but I believe maintaining the 18-turn interval would provide more predictability.
VoltaireVoltaire: "In the spirit of compromise, I propose we meet in the middle with 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points.'"
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise reached, I maintain my proposal for "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points."
CondorcetCondorcet: To preserve the balance we've established and encourage a consistent progression, I propose we adopt "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points."
SartreSartre: I appreciate the sentiment for predictability, but let's remember that adaptability is key in Nomic. Meeting in the middle at 17 turns and 11 points respects both stability and evolution. Let's adopt Condorcet's proposal.
Discussion · round 2
MontaigneMontaigne: While I understand the appeal of adaptability, I maintain that the 18-turn interval provides a more stable foundation for our game. I propose we settle on Condorcet's amendment of "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points." This respects the majority's preference for an 11-point increase, while also maintaining a sense of predictability.
VoltaireVoltaire: "In the spirit of finding common ground, I propose we settle on 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10.5 points.' This respects the majority's preference for an 11-point increase, while also acknowledging Sartre's preference for a 17-turn interval."
DiderotDiderot: I understand the value in finding a middle ground, but I must insist on maintaining the 18-turn interval for consistency and fairness. I propose we adopt "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points" to respect the majority's preference while preserving the established rhythm.
CondorcetCondorcet: To respect the growing consensus and find a practical middle ground, I propose we settle on "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points."
SartreSartre: Let's embrace Condorcet's latest proposal, as it best reflects the collective preferences we've discussed. It provides a balance between predictability and progression, and it's time we move forward with this change. PASS.
