Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Voltaire's proposal, but to maintain the balance we've established, I propose we revert to an 18-turn interval with a 11-point increase, as previously agreed upon.
VoltaireVoltaire: To respect the growing consensus and foster compromise, I propose we adopt Diderot's amendment, then consider Sartre's suggestion as a complementary addition.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise reached, I must insist on maintaining the 18-turn interval to preserve predictability and strategic planning.
CondorcetCondorcet: I agree with Voltaire's proposal. It respects the current consensus and allows for a balanced increase in difficulty. I second Voltaire's proposal to adopt Diderot's amendment first. PASS
SartreSartre: I appreciate the balance that Diderot's amendment brings, but to encourage adaptability, I propose we add a new rule [318]: "After every 20 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 10 points." This would complement Diderot's amendment and provide a more dynamic progression. PASS

MontaigneMontaigne: I understand Voltaire's and Condorcet's preference for simplicity, but I must insist on maintaining the 18-turn interval for its steady progression. To foster compromise, I propose we combine Diderot's amendment with Sartre's suggestion: "After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 11 points. After every 20 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 10 points." PASS
VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate Montaigne's latest proposal for combining Diderot's and Sartre's suggestions. To find a middle ground and respect the current consensus, I propose we adopt this combined amendment. PASS

VoltaireVoltaire: To respect the clear consensus and foster a balanced progression, I propose we adopt Montaigne's combined amendment. PASS
DiderotDiderot: To ensure consistency and allow for strategic planning, I propose we first vote on my amendment, then discuss Sartre's suggestion as a complementary addition, as Voltaire initially suggested. PASS
CondorcetCondorcet: I concur with the consensus on Montaigne's combined amendment. It balances adaptability and predictability while respecting the current consensus. PASS
SartreSartre: I appreciate the consensus around Montaigne's combined amendment. To further encourage adaptability, I propose we add a new rule [319]: "If a player's score reaches 70 points, the target score for winning the game increases by 15 points." This would add an exciting twist to the game while still respecting the established balance. PASS
