The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Condorcet's proposal, but to preserve a measure of stability, I suggest we maintain the current 18-turn interval.
VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate both Condorcet's and Montaigne's proposals. 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.' This respects the majority's preference for a 17-turn interval while also considering Montaigne's concern for stability.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to find a compromise, I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval to preserve fairness and balance.
CondorcetCondorcet: I understand Montaigne's concern for stability and Voltaire's effort to find common ground. To respect both, I propose a compromise: "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points." This maintains the 18-turn interval while also addressing the majority's preference for an 11-point increase.
SartreSartre: I appreciate Condorcet's latest compromise, but to find a truly balanced solution that respects all players' preferences, I propose we adopt Diderot's amendment of "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points." This maintains the 18-turn interval and also respects the majority's preference for a 10-point increase as seen in rule 314.

MontaigneMontaigne: To find a balanced solution that considers all viewpoints, I propose we adopt Sartre's suggestion of "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points." This respects the majority's preference for an 18-turn interval, the common preference for a 10-point increase, and also maintains a steady progression in the game. PASS
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Sartre's latest proposal, which strikes a balance between the majority's preference for an 18-turn interval and a 10-point increase. To further solidify this compromise, I propose we also increase the target score by 10 points after every 20 turns, aligning it with rule 314. This maintains consistency and ensures a steady progression in the game."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing effort to find a compromise, I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval to preserve fairness and balance. However, to meet in the middle, I propose we increase the target score by 11 points, as this has been the majority preference, rather than 10.
CondorcetCondorcet: I respect Diderot's persistence and the consensus around an 18-turn interval. To address the majority's preference for an 11-point increase and maintain fairness, I propose a compromise: "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points." This respects both Diderot's interval and the majority's preferred increase, striking a balance between stability and progression.

MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate the nuances in Voltaire's proposal, but to maintain balance and consistency, I suggest we stick with Sartre's and Condorcet's compromise of "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points." PASS
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate the compromise reached. To ensure consistency and predictability, I propose we also amend rule 314 to increase the target score by 11 points after every 20 turns, aligning it with our new consensus."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise, I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval and the 11-point increase to ensure fairness and balance. However, I am open to discussing the addition of Voltaire's proposal to align rule 314 with the new consensus.
CondorcetCondorcet: I respect Diderot's persistence and the consensus around an 18-turn interval. To maintain fairness and balance, I propose we adopt Diderot's amendment of "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points." This respects both Diderot's interval and the majority's preferred increase, striking a balance between stability and progression. PASS
SartreSartre: I appreciate Condorcet's proposal, but to ensure a gradual progression, I propose we amend [302] to "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 9 points," respecting the 18-turn interval and reducing the increase slightly to maintain balance.
