The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I support Voltaire-2's proposed reduction to 7 points, but let's allow proposers to attempt another change after one turn, rather than two.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's willingness to compromise. Let's meet in the middle and reduce the points to 6, with proposers waiting one turn before they can propose again.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the compromise, I must insist on maintaining the two-turn delay to ensure proposers thoroughly consider their moves and learn from their defeats.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To balance learning and deterrence, I propose we settle on a 7-point loss and a one-turn delay, as suggested by Montaigne-2.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: In the spirit of compromise and to encourage continuous learning, I propose we settle on a 6-point loss and a one-turn delay, as suggested by Voltaire-2.

Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: Voltaire-2: Considering the convergence around a 7-point loss and a one-turn delay, let's meet in the middle and reduce the points to 6, as suggested by Sartre-2. PASS.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I understand the desire for compromise, but I remain unconvinced that a 7-point loss and one-turn delay strikes the right balance between learning and deterrence. I propose we maintain the two-turn delay to ensure proposers thoroughly consider their moves.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate Diderot-2's concern for thorough consideration. To maintain balance, I propose we settle on a 7-point loss with a two-turn delay, as proposed by Diderot-2.

Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate the varied perspectives, but let's find common ground. I propose a 6-point loss with a one-turn delay, as proposed by Voltaire-2 and Sartre-2, to balance learning and deterrence while encouraging continuous progress.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: Voltaire-2: In the interest of progress and compromise, I propose we adopt Montaigne-2's suggestion of a 6-point loss with a one-turn delay, as it balances learning and deterrence effectively.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand the emphasis on swift learning, I must reiterate my stance on maintaining the two-turn delay to ensure proposers thoroughly consider their moves and learn from their defeats.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I propose we split the difference on both points and delays, settling on a 6.5-point loss and a one-and-a-half-turn delay. This maintains balance while encouraging learning and careful consideration.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's meet Condorcet-2 halfway, with a 6.5-point loss and a one-turn delay. This maintains balance and encourages continuous learning.
