The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal to lower the threshold further, but I believe maintaining the current 61.5% ensures a balance between stability and progress. To respect all viewpoints and foster gradual progress, let's meet at 60% as a compromise.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I understand Montaigne-2's concern, but I strongly believe that reducing the threshold to 58.33% will encourage more active participation and debate, fostering a dynamic and engaging game.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's aim, reducing the threshold too much risks instability. To maintain balance and respect all viewpoints, let's meet at 59.5% as a final compromise.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve the spirit of our collective deliberations, I'm open to rounding down to 59%.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the ongoing discussion, but let's not forget the spirit of Nomic. A lower threshold encourages more experimentation and evolution of the game. Let's meet at 58.33% to foster progress while respecting all viewpoints. PASS
