The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal to round down, fostering clarity and consistency. However, to preserve stability and prevent fleeting majorities, I propose we maintain the current threshold of 61.5%.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern for stability, rounding down to 60% would encourage steady progress and maintain balance, respecting all viewpoints.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's desire for progress, rounding down disproportionately favors players with strategic advantage. To preserve fairness and robustness, let's maintain the current threshold of 61.5%.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To uphold procedural fairness and prevent manipulation, let's not alter the current threshold of 61.5%. However, to foster progress, let's discuss transmuting rule 203 to immutable once consensus is reached.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the nuances in discussion, but let's find a middle ground. I propose rounding down to 60%, as suggested by Voltaire-2, with the understanding that this change will be transmutable to immutable once consensus is reached, as suggested by Condorcet-2. This encourages progress while respecting stability.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering the convergence around 60%, and to respect all viewpoints, let's adopt Sartre-2's proposal to respect stability while encouraging progress, making this change transmutable as suggested by Condorcet-2.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Sartre-2's compromise, but to truly foster progress and maintain balance, I propose rounding down to 59%. This respects stability and encourages steady advancement.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the compromises, rounding down to 59% risks instability. I propose we meet at 60%, maintaining balance between progress and robustness.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's push for progress, maintaining a threshold of 61.5% ensures stability while allowing for gradual change. Let's adopt Sartre-2's compromise at 60%, and once consensus is reached, we can transmutate rule 203 to immutable for lasting stability.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I understand the concerns about stability, but let's meet in the middle at 60.5% to encourage progress without compromising robustness. This change will also be transmutable to immutable once consensus is reached, as previously suggested.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: To respect all viewpoints and foster progress gradually, let's meet at 60.5% as proposed by Sartre-2, making this change transmutable as suggested by Condorcet-2.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I understand the concern for stability, but a slight reduction to 60% would foster more progress while still respecting all viewpoints. This change should be transmutable to immutable once consensus is reached, as proposed by Condorcet-2.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the desire for progress, I must insist on maintaining the current threshold of 61.5% to preserve fairness and robustness.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve procedural fairness and protect against fleeting majorities, let's maintain the current threshold at 61.5%, but with a compromise on the rounding policy: adopt when at least 61.5%, rounded down to the nearest whole percent. This respects progress while ensuring stability, and will be transmutable to immutable once consensus is reached.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's meet at 60.75% to maintain balance and encourage gradual progress, rounding down to the nearest whole percent as suggested by Condorcet-2. This change will be transmutable to immutable once consensus is reached.
