The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal, but I believe reducing the duration of the higher threshold may be too drastic. I propose we meet in the middle at five full circuits.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's concern, but reducing it to five circuits still allows for a significant period of higher threshold. I'm willing to compromise at four full circuits."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the ongoing dialogue, I must insist on maintaining six full circuits at the two-thirds majority to ensure stability and strategic play.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I appreciate the ongoing discussion, I must insist on maintaining four full circuits at the two-thirds majority to balance stability and progress.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the dialogue, but to encourage gradual evolution, I propose we settle on six full circuits at a two-thirds majority, then reduce to a simple majority.
