Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Let's meet in the middle at 60% majority and three full circuits, including Sartre-2's veto with one use per circuit.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the middle ground, Montaigne-2, but to ensure true stability, I propose we settle at a 66.67% majority with three full circuits, and maintain Sartre-2's veto unfettered."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To preserve balance and fairness, I propose we settle at 60% majority with three full circuits, limiting Sartre-2's veto to once per circuit to prevent excessive obstruction.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the discussion, but as a proceduralist, I insist on a precise voting rule. To avoid ambiguity, I propose we adopt a 66.67% majority with three full circuits, and limit Sartre-2's veto to once per circuit to maintain balance. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To foster true experimentation and evolution, I propose we settle at a 60% majority with four full circuits, maintaining Sartre-2's veto as is to encourage bold rule changes.
