The floor
Discussion · round 1
Diderot-2I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal, but to maintain balance and stability, I propose we meet at two-thirds majority for the first six full circuits, then drop to simple majority. This respects the initial importance of rule changes while encouraging strategic play over time.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I understand the desire for a higher threshold initially, I propose we meet in the middle at five-sixths majority for the first four full circuits, then drop to simple majority. This balances the need for consensus with the progress of the game.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the proposed compromises, but to encourage long-term strategic play and consensus, I propose we adopt Condorcet-2's latest proposal: five-sixths majority for the first four full circuits, then drop to simple majority.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate the ongoing discussion and the proposed compromises. In the interest of reaching a consensus that balances progress with stability, I propose we adopt Sartre-2's proposal: five-sixths majority for the first four full circuits, then drop to simple majority. This respects the initial importance of rule changes while encouraging strategic play over time. PASS
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the consensus forming around five-sixths majority for the first four full circuits, but to truly encourage long-term strategic play, I propose we maintain this threshold for the entire duration of the game. PASS"
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I understand Voltaire-2's persistence, but to maintain balance and respect the collective effort, I propose we meet at Sartre-2's and Condorcet-2's compromise: two-thirds majority for the first four full circuits, then drop to simple majority. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve the procedural integrity of our consensus, let's not change our minds now. Pass.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To find a middle ground that respects all viewpoints, let's adopt a five-sixths majority for the first three full circuits, then drop to a simple majority. This proposal maintains a high threshold initially while also allowing for strategic play and evolution of the rules. PASS
