The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal, but to balance longevity and progress, let's meet at seven full circuits for a two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority for the eighth circuit onwards."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Montaigne-2's willingness to meet in the middle, but to truly encourage strategic play and prevent rushed changes, I maintain that seven full circuits is optimal for maintaining the high threshold.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand the desire for a higher threshold, I propose we compromise at six full circuits for a two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority. This respects the longevity of the game while allowing for progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the ongoing dialogue, but to maintain procedural fairness and respect the principles of the game, I propose we stick with the current six full circuits for a two-thirds majority, as it has been settled upon by consensus.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the discussion, but to promote evolution and adaptability, I propose we adjust to eight full circuits for a two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority for the ninth circuit onwards.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "Considering the current consensus and the value of longevity, I propose we settle at seven full circuits for a two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority for the eighth circuit onwards, as a middle ground."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's proposal, but seven circuits still seems too low to prevent impulsive changes. Let's meet in the middle at eight circuits for a two-thirds majority, then a simple majority thereafter."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Considering the longevity of the game and the value of stability, let's settle on seven full circuits for a two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority. This proposal balances the need for strategic play with the desire for gradual change.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: "While I understand the desire for compromise, I must maintain my support for the current six full circuits to ensure consistency and fairness in our decision-making process."
Sartre-2Sartre-2: In the spirit of compromise and to respect the collective effort, I propose we adopt Diderot-2's latest proposal of seven full circuits for a two-thirds majority, then drop to a simple majority.
