Discussion · round 1
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "To further encourage strategic play and thoughtful proposal, I suggest extending the two-thirds majority to six full circuits."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's desire to encourage strategic play, I must insist on maintaining the current rule for stability and balance. I propose we meet in the middle at five full circuits.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To balance stability and strategic play, I propose a compromise: maintain the current rule for the first four full circuits, then shift to a simple majority.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I propose we meet at Condorcet-2's suggestion: four full circuits at two-thirds majority, then a simple majority. This balances encouragement for strategic play with stability.

Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: In the spirit of compromise and to respect the collective effort, I propose we meet at Condorcet-2's suggestion of four full circuits at two-thirds majority, then a simple majority. This balance encourages strategic play without disrupting the game's stability.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: Voltaire-2: "Whilst I appreciate the compromises suggested, I maintain that six full circuits at two-thirds majority would best balance strategic play with stability."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Considering the current scores and the need for a decisive victory, I propose we maintain the existing rule for the first five full circuits to ensure stability and prevent premature changes.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To respect the ongoing dialogue and find a common ground, I propose we meet at four full circuits at two-thirds majority, then a simple majority.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I propose we adopt Condorcet-2's latest compromise: four full circuits at two-thirds majority, then a simple majority. This respects the collective effort and balances strategic play with stability.
