Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I understand Montaigne-2's proposal, I must insist on maintaining the current threshold of 62.5% to encourage steady progress.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the nuance, I stand by my proposal to maintain a two-thirds majority. It ensures broader consensus and robustness in our decision-making.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain the spirit of our collective deliberations, I'm open to rounding up to 65%, as proposed by Voltaire-2, but no lower.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To find a middle ground that respects all viewpoints, let's adopt 65% as our threshold, as Condorcet-2 suggested. This maintains progress while ensuring broader consensus.
