The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Diderot's proposal to increase the score increment, but to maintain a balanced game, I suggest we compromise at a 12-point increase. This respects the spirit of Diderot's amendment while keeping the game progression steady.
VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate Montaigne's compromise. To find common ground, I propose we settle on a 13-point increase every 20 turns, meeting in the middle between Diderot's and Montaigne's suggestions.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the compromise, I believe a 15-point increase every 20 turns strikes the best balance between progression and fairness, encouraging strategic play while preventing the game from becoming too drawn out.
SartreSartre: I appreciate the ongoing debate and the compromises suggested. However, I propose we settle on a 14-point increase every 20 turns to encourage progression without making the game overly lengthy. This respects the core of Diderot's amendment while finding common ground with Montaigne and Voltaire's suggestions.
