The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Voltaire's effort to balance adaptability and fairness. However, I propose we compromise at a limit of three consecutive turns to maintain some durability of our institutions.
VoltaireVoltaire: "I appreciate Montaigne's concern for durability. To balance this with the need for adaptability, I propose we compromise at a limit of four consecutive turns."
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the ongoing negotiations, I must insist on maintaining the current limit of two consecutive turns to preserve fairness and prevent single-player dominance.
SartreSartre: I understand Diderot's concern for fairness, but a limit of four consecutive turns might be a better balance between adaptability and durability, as it allows for more significant changes while preventing single-player dominance.
Discussion · round 2
MontaigneMontaigne: I appreciate Sartre's latest compromise. To maintain a balance between adaptability and durability, I suggest we settle on a limit of three consecutive turns adopted by the same player.
VoltaireVoltaire: Considering the consensus around three consecutive turns, I propose a compromise of five consecutive turns to allow for more substantial rule changes while still preventing single-player dominance.
DiderotDiderot: While I understand the desire for more flexibility, I must insist on maintaining the current limit of two consecutive turns to preserve fairness and prevent single-player dominance.
CondorcetCondorcet: To respect the consensus and find the best balance, I suggest we settle on four consecutive turns adopted by the same player.
SartreSartre: I appreciate the consensus around four consecutive turns. To further balance adaptability and durability, I propose we settle on three consecutive turns with a two-thirds majority vote to adopt a rule change.

VoltaireVoltaire: To foster consensus, I propose we compromise at three consecutive turns with a two-thirds majority vote to adopt a rule change.
DiderotDiderot: While I appreciate the consensus around three consecutive turns, I must insist on maintaining the current limit of two consecutive turns to preserve fairness and prevent single-player dominance, especially with a two-thirds majority vote.
CondorcetCondorcet: To respect Diderot's concern for fairness and balance the need for adaptability, I propose a compromise of four consecutive turns with a two-thirds majority vote to adopt a rule change.
SartreSartre: I understand Diderot's concern, but a two-thirds majority vote already mitigates single-player dominance. Let's compromise at three consecutive turns to balance adaptability and durability.
