Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Sartre's proposal for consistency, but I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval to preserve the balance and fairness we've worked towards.
VoltaireVoltaire: I understand Montaigne's concern, but the 17-turn interval allows for more frequent adjustments, fostering a dynamic game.
DiderotDiderot: While I understand the appeal of frequent adjustments, I must maintain my stance on the 18-turn interval to ensure consistency and allow for strategic planning.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the nuanced arguments. To maintain procedural fairness, I propose we settle on a compromise: "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 10 points." This respects the majority's preference for more frequent adjustments while addressing concerns about balance and consistency.
SartreSartre: I appreciate Condorcet's compromise, but to encourage a more challenging game, I propose we settle on "After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game is increased by 11 points."
