The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Voltaire's proposal, but let's consider Condorcet's suggestion of 'After every 16 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points' for a more steady progression.
VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate Condorcet's proposal, but I believe 17 turns strikes a better balance between progression and predictability. I'm open to compromise, though. What if we meet in the middle at 16.5 turns, increasing the target score by 10.5 points?
DiderotDiderot: I appreciate the ongoing effort to find a compromise, but I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval to ensure a consistent and fair progression.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate Voltaire's and Montaigne's efforts to find a balance, but I maintain my proposal of 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points' for fairness and predictability.
SartreSartre: I respect Diderot's persistence and the majority's preference for an 11-point increase, but let's consider Condorcet's suggestion of 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points' to maintain a steady progression.
Discussion · round 2
MontaigneMontaigne: To honor the collective effort and find a balanced solution, I propose we adopt Condorcet's suggestion of 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points'.
VoltaireVoltaire: I understand Condorcet's and Sartre's preference for a 10-point increase. Let's meet in the middle and increase the target score by 10.5 points every 17 turns to respect both fairness and predictability.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing efforts to find consensus, I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval to ensure fairness and predictability. Let's compromise on increasing the target score by 11 points every 18 turns.
CondorcetCondorcet: To maintain fairness and predictability, I propose we settle on 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points', as it meets in the middle between the current 18 turns and Voltaire's 16.5 turns proposal.
SartreSartre: 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 10.5 points'. This respects both the preference for an 11-point increase and the desire for a more steady progression.
