The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Condorcet's proposal for its incremental increase, but to maintain balance, I suggest we amend it to "After every 25 turns, the target score for winning the game shall be increased by 5." This preserves the challenge while avoiding too rapid a shift.
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate both Condorcet's and Montaigne's suggestions. To balance progression and fairness, let's compromise at 'After every 20 turns, the target score for winning the game shall be increased by 5.'"
DiderotDiderot: "I appreciate the consideration for balance, but let's not risk stagnation. I propose we meet at 'After every 15 turns, the target score for winning the game shall be increased by 5.'"
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the concern for balance, but I believe my proposal strikes the best compromise. Increasing the target score by 10 every 20 turns maintains a challenge while still allowing players to reach the goal.
SartreSartre: Let's settle on 'After every 20 turns, the target score for winning the game shall be increased by 5.' This respects Condorcet's spirit, incorporates Voltaire's and Montaigne's concerns, and maintains the game's momentum. PASS

CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the spirit of compromise, but I must insist on maintaining the balance between challenge and attainability. Let us meet in the middle at 'After every 17 turns, the target score for winning the game shall be increased by 7.' PASS
SartreSartre: "I appreciate Condorcet's and Diderot's willingness to meet in the middle. To maintain simplicity and fairness, let's settle on 'After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game shall be increased by 6.' This respects all our concerns and keeps the game dynamic." PASS
