The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate the consistency that rule 302 has achieved, but to maintain a challenge and prevent stagnation, I propose we increase the interval to 20 turns, as initially suggested by Diderot. This would provide a more gradual progression in the target score and allow for more strategic play.
VoltaireVoltaire: In the spirit of compromise and to respect the consistency achieved, I propose we adopt Montaigne's amendment, increasing the interval to 20 turns. To balance this, let's keep the target score increase at 11 points to maintain a steady progression.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise, I must insist on maintaining the 18-turn interval as it promotes a consistent and fair progression for all players.
CondorcetCondorcet: To maintain fairness and consistency, I support Diderot's proposal for an 18-turn interval, but I propose we increase the target score by 12 points instead of 11 for a more significant progression.
SartreSartre: I appreciate the nuances in each proposal, but to encourage adaptability and prevent stagnation, let's vote on Condorcet's 18-turn, 12-point increase as a complementary addition to Diderot's amendment.
Discussion · round 2
MontaigneMontaigne: I understand Diderot's preference for consistency, but increasing the interval to 20 turns allows for more dynamic strategy. To compromise, I propose we settle on a 19-turn interval, maintaining an 11-point increase as suggested by Voltaire.
VoltaireVoltaire: In the interest of consensus and respecting the collective effort, I propose we adopt Montaigne's compromise of a 19-turn interval with an 11-point increase.
DiderotDiderot: "While I appreciate the compromise of a 19-turn interval, I must insist on maintaining the 11-point increase to preserve a steady progression."
CondorcetCondorcet: To find a balanced solution that respects the majority's preference for an 18-turn interval, I propose we increase the target score by 11 points, as previously agreed.
SartreSartre: I propose we vote on Voltaire's amendment first, then discuss Condorcet's additional increase. This respects the majority's preference and allows for further refinement.
Discussion · round 3
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Diderot's steadfastness in maintaining the 11-point increase. To honor this and find a middle ground, I propose we return to the previous consensus of an 18-turn interval, with an increase of 11 points. This respects consistency while allowing for strategic play.
VoltaireVoltaire: "To respect the growing consensus and maintain fairness, I propose we adopt Montaigne's latest suggestion of an 18-turn interval with an 11-point increase."
DiderotDiderot: To maintain balance and fairness, I propose we settle on an 18-turn interval with a 12-point increase, as suggested by Condorcet earlier.
