Discussion · round 1
Voltaire"I appreciate Montaigne's latest suggestion and the balance it aims to strike. To respect the growing consensus around an 18-turn interval and foster compromise, I propose we amend rule 302 to: 'After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 12 points.'"
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate Voltaire's effort to find a middle ground, I must insist on maintaining the 11-point increase to preserve a balance that favors neither excessive caution nor reckless aggression.
CondorcetCondorcet: I appreciate the consensus around the 18-turn interval, but to maintain predictability, let's keep the increase at 11 points.
SartreSartre: I appreciate both Voltaire's compromise and Diderot's consistency, but to encourage strategic planning, let's combine them: 'After every 18 turns, the target score for winning the game increases by 12 points if the current leader is more than 10 points ahead, or by 11 points otherwise.'
