Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "To encourage proposers to learn from their failures and adapt swiftly, I propose a compromise: maintain the six-point loss but reduce the delay to one turn, as recently approved."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the compromise reached, I must insist on the two-turn delay to ensure proposers thoroughly consider their moves and learn from their defeats.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural fairness and prevent hasty decisions, I insist on reinstating the two-turn delay, as previously agreed upon.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Considering the consensus around a one-turn delay, let's meet in the middle with a 5-point loss to balance learning and deterrence.
