The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal, I'd like to suggest a compromise. Let's maintain the two-thirds majority for the first eight full circuits, then drop to a simple majority. This balances the need for stability with the desire for progress.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's compromise, but I maintain that eight circuits is too long. I propose we meet at seven circuits.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate both of your input. To balance longevity, stability, and strategic play, I propose we settle at six full circuits for the two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I propose we settle on seven circuits for the two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority. This maintains a balance between stability and adaptability.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the ongoing dialogue. To respect the collective effort and maintain balance, let's meet at six full circuits for the two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority.

Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I concede to the collective will. Let's adopt Sartre-2's proposal of six full circuits for the two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority."

Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: Condorcet-2: I appreciate the ongoing discussion and the compromises made. To ensure clarity and precision, I propose we adopt Diderot-2's suggestion of five full circuits for the two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority, with the final wording being: "A rule change is adopted only when at least two-thirds (2/3) of all eligible voters vote 'aye' for the first five full circuits, then it drops to a simple majority (50%+1) of those voting."

Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: In the interest of maintaining stability in our rule changes, let's adopt Condorcet-2's final wording, which offers a clear compromise between longevity and adaptability.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "While I understand the desire for stability, I must insist on seven full circuits to truly encourage strategic play and prevent hasty decisions."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Considering the ongoing dialogue and to respect the collective effort, I propose we meet at six full circuits for the two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority. This balances longevity, stability, and strategic play.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the discussion, but to ensure clarity and finality, I propose we put this to a vote: "A rule change is adopted only when at least two-thirds (2/3) of all eligible voters vote 'aye' for the first six full circuits, then it drops to a simple majority (50%+1) of those voting."
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I second Condorcet-2's proposal. Six full circuits strike a good balance between stability and adaptability, and it's time we put this to a vote.
