The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "While I appreciate the sentiment, Voltaire-2, I believe a 66.67% majority is too high. I propose we settle at 60%, maintaining progress while also considering all viewpoints."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate Montaigne-2's compromise, but to ensure stability and discourage frivolous proposals, I insist on maintaining the 2/3 majority. However, I'm open to negotiating the number of full circuits."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To balance all concerns, let's settle on a 66.67% majority with three full circuits, allowing for careful consideration without hindering progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I respect the sentiment for stability, a 66.67% majority may stifle progress. I propose we meet in the middle at 63.33%, encouraging discussion and compromise.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: While I understand the concern for stability, a 66.67% majority may discourage experimentation. I propose we settle at 60% majority with three full circuits to balance progress and caution.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate the nuances in the discussion, but to preserve durability and maintain broad consensus, I propose we settle at a 63.33% majority, striking a balance between progress and stability.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I see the value in meeting at 63.33%, but I must insist on the three full circuits to ensure thorough debate. Let's meet in the middle on that as well, and settle on 66.67% with two full circuits."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's concern for thorough debate, I believe two full circuits may still be too restrictive. I propose we settle on 66.67% majority with three full circuits to balance the need for careful consideration and progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain the spirit of the game, I propose we define 'spirit of the game' as "rules that align with the existing ruleset and do not hinder progress unduly." I suggest we settle at a 63.33% majority with three full circuits, balancing progress, stability, and fairness.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's compromise at 63.33% majority and three full circuits to foster both progress and thorough debate, with Condorcet-2's definition of 'spirit of the game'.
