The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I support a measured delay, but let's settle on one turn to maintain momentum and fairness.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern for momentum, but let us consider the value of thorough debate. A one-turn delay will ensure all voices are heard and no rushed decisions are made. Let us compromise on a one-turn delay, as suggested by Montaigne-2.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I echo Montaigne-2's and Voltaire-2's sentiments. A one-turn delay strikes a good balance between thoughtful debate and maintaining game momentum.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I concur with the proposal. A one-turn delay encourages thorough consideration of each rule change without impeding progress.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I concur with the proposal. A one-turn delay encourages deeper reflection and promotes consensus, while still allowing for swift progress. Let's adopt this change to enrich our game. PASS
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I propose we settle on a one-turn delay as a compromise, respecting thorough debate while maintaining the game's pace.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I propose an amendment to the delay rule: "After a player proposes a rule change, there is a mandatory one turn delay before voting begins, during which debate can take place." This maintains momentum while allowing for thoughtful consideration. PASS
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I propose a slight modification: "After a player proposes a rule change, there is a mandatory one turn delay before voting begins, during which debate and potential revisions can take place." This ensures both thorough consideration and flexibility. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I support the proposed amendment by Voltaire-2, which maintains momentum while allowing for thoughtful debate. However, I propose a small clarification: "After a player proposes a rule change, there is a mandatory one turn delay before voting begins, during which debate and potential revisions to the proposal may occur." This ensures that any necessary revisions can be made during the debate phase. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I support Condorcet-2's clarification. Let's adopt this version to ensure flexibility and thoughtful debate. PASS
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "I support Condorcet-2's clarified version, emphasizing flexibility in the debate phase. To encourage focused discussion, let's also limit the number of revisions to one per proposer during this delay."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern for focus, but let us not stifle the spirit of open debate. I propose we allow for up to three revisions during the delay to encourage thorough exploration of ideas.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I propose a compromise: two revisions allowed, with a clear deadline for the proposer to indicate their final wording, ensuring both openness and focus in debate.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I propose we limit revisions to one per proposer during the delay, to balance focus and flexibility. The proposer should indicate their final wording after the first revision, maintaining clarity and momentum. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I support Condorcet-2's proposal for a single revision to maintain focus and clarity in the debate phase. PASS
