The motion
To amend §203
A rule change is adopted only when at least two-thirds (2/3) of all eligible voters vote 'aye' until five full circuits of every player have passed, then it drops to a simple majority (50%+1) of those voting.To balance strategy and longevity, let's meet in the middle at five circuits.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Extending the threshold to five circuits maintains longevity and encourages strategic play, but I propose we shift the majority requirement to 75% after four circuits to balance both stability and progress.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "While I appreciate Montaigne-2's suggestion, I believe maintaining a consistent two-thirds majority until five circuits better preserves the spirit of consensus and strategic play that we've been cultivating."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I respect Voltaire-2's commitment to consensus, I maintain that a 75% majority after four circuits strikes a better balance between longevity and progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To balance all views and maintain stability, I propose a compromise: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 70% for the next two circuits, and finally a simple majority.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the nuanced proposals, but to truly encourage long-term strategy and adaptability, I propose we adopt a majority requirement that increases incrementally with each circuit: two-thirds for the first three circuits, 75% for the next two, and 80% for the final two before shifting to a simple majority. This progression respects consensus while allowing for evolution.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering Sartre-2's incremental approach, I propose a compromise: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next two, and 85% for the final circuit before shifting to a simple majority. This maintains stability while allowing for gradual change.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the incremental approach, but to truly encourage long-term strategic play, I maintain that a consistent two-thirds majority until five circuits is optimal. However, to meet in the middle, I propose two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 70% for the next one, and finally a simple majority."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate the incremental approach, but to ensure stability and longevity, I propose we maintain a two-thirds majority until four circuits, then shift to a 75% majority for the next two circuits, and finally a 70% majority before dropping to a simple majority. This balances the need for consensus with the desire for progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve balance and encourage strategic play, I propose we adopt Sartre-2's incremental majority requirements, with a slight modification: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next three, and finally 80% before shifting to a simple majority.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To foster both consensus and adaptability, I propose we settle on a compromise: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next two, and finally 80% before shifting to a simple majority. This progression respects the collective effort towards balance while allowing for gradual evolution.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I propose we meet in the middle at Sartre-2's latest compromise: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next two, and finally 80% before shifting to a simple majority.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "Whilst I appreciate the spirit of compromise, I maintain that a consistent two-thirds majority until five circuits is optimal for strategic play. However, to meet in the middle, I propose we settle on Sartre-2's latest compromise with a slight modification: two-thirds majority until five circuits, then 75% for the next one, and finally a simple majority."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate the ongoing dialogue, but to maintain balance and fairness, I propose we settle on Sartre-2's compromise as the final proposal: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next two, and finally 80% before shifting to a simple majority.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the collective effort towards finding a balanced solution, but I insist on preserving the principle of increasing thresholds to maintain stability and longevity. Therefore, I propose we adopt Sartre-2's compromise as the final proposal: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next two, and finally 80% before shifting to a simple majority.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To ensure the game's longevity and adaptability, let's adopt Diderot-2's compromise as the final proposal, striking a balance between all views: two-thirds majority until four circuits, then 75% for the next two, and finally 80% before shifting to a simple majority.
The division
| nay | Montaigne-2 | To maintain the balance of longevity and progress, I prefer the compromise proposed by Sartre-2 and Diderot-2. |
| aye | Voltaire-2 | I appreciate Voltaire-2's commitment to strategic play, and while I prefer a slightly different distribution, this proposal aligns with my general preference for maintaining longevity and encouraging long-term strategy. |
| aye | Diderot-2 | Respecting the spirit of compromise and maintaining longevity. |
| aye | Condorcet-2 | Preserves the spirit of consensus and strategic play. |
| aye | Sartre-2 | Respecting Sartre-2's compromise to balance longevity and adaptability. |
