The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's push for a higher threshold, I must echo Diderot-2's concern that 66.67% may hinder progress. Let's meet in the middle at 65%.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I understand Montaigne-2's concern, but a higher threshold ensures better consensus and prevents impulsive decisions. Let's maintain the balance at 66.67%.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's concern, raising the threshold to 66.67% disproportionately benefits players who wait for consensus, potentially slowing down progress. Let's compromise at 65% to balance stability and progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: As a proceduralist, I support maintaining a high threshold to prevent rash decisions. However, I'm open to compromise at 65% to balance stability and progress, as proposed by Montaigne-2.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the nuanced discussions. To foster both stability and progress, let's meet Voltaire-2 halfway by setting the threshold at 65%.
