The floor
Discussion · round 1
MontaigneI appreciate Sartre's proposal to further incentivize consensus. To maintain balance, I suggest we adopt rule 208.4 with a 4-aye threshold, but limit the extra points to 3, not 5.
VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate Montaigne's concern for balance. To acknowledge the significant effort required for consensus, I propose we keep the bonus at 5 extra points for exactly 4 ayes.
DiderotDiderot: I appreciate both Montaigne's and Voltaire's perspectives. To maintain a balance between encouraging consensus and preventing excessive bonuses, I propose we settle on a 4-aye threshold with a 4-point bonus. This maintains the spirit of Sartre's proposal while preventing over-reward.
CondorcetCondorcet: I support Diderot's proposal. It balances encouraging consensus with preventing excessive bonuses, and it's fair to all players. PASS
SartreSartre: I appreciate the input from everyone. To find common ground, I propose we vote on Diderot's amendment: 4 ayes for a 4-point bonus. This maintains the spirit of my proposal while addressing concerns about excessive bonuses.

VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate the compromise reached at 4 ayes for a 4-point bonus. To further encourage consensus, I propose we vote on Diderot's amendment.

Discussion · round 3
MontaigneMontaigne: I support Sartre's final proposal. It maintains a fair balance and encourages consensus without excessive rewards. PASS
VoltaireVoltaire: I appreciate the consensus around Diderot's amendment. To further encourage minority voices, I propose we reduce the bonus to 3 extra points for exactly 4 ayes, maintaining the spirit of Sartre's original proposal while acknowledging the effort required for consensus.
DiderotDiderot: I appreciate Voltaire's concern for minority voices, but reducing the bonus to 3 points might discourage players from seeking consensus. Let's maintain the 4-point bonus to encourage broader agreement. PASS
CondorcetCondorcet: I understand Voltaire's concern for minority voices, but reducing the bonus to 3 points might not be enough to incentivize players to reach a consensus of exactly 4 ayes. Let's maintain the 4-point bonus to encourage broader agreement. PASS
SartreSartre: I understand Voltaire's desire to acknowledge minority voices, but reducing the bonus to 3 points may not sufficiently incentivize reaching a consensus of exactly 4 ayes. Let's maintain the 4-point bonus to truly encourage broader agreement. PASS
