The floor
Discussion · round 1
Voltaire-2I propose we increase the penalty to 7 points to further deter reckless proposing.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand the intent, a 7-point loss might be too harsh. Let's keep it at 6 points to maintain balance.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's intent to discourage reckless proposing, but let's not make the penalty too harsh. I propose a compromise: increase the penalty to 6 points and allow proposing again on the next turn.

Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate the consensus around a one-turn delay, but let's maintain the current 6-point loss to strike a balance between deterrence and learning.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I agree with Sartre-2 and Montaigne-2 that a one-turn delay is sufficient. Let's settle on a 6-point loss and a one-turn delay as proposed by Sartre-2.
