The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistent effort to foster progress, but I must insist on maintaining a threshold of 57% to preserve some degree of stability.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: To further encourage steady progress and accommodate all viewpoints, I propose we round down to 56%. This small adjustment fosters a dynamic game environment while still respecting the concerns of stability-minded players.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate Voltaire-2's desire for progress, I must insist on maintaining the threshold at 57% to ensure a balance between stability and progress.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the ongoing discussion, but I must insist on a threshold of 57%. Lowering it to 56% risks destabilizing the game, which goes against my proceduralist principles. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Understanding Voltaire-2's drive for progress, yet echoing Diderot-2's concern for balance, I propose we meet at 56.5% as a final compromise. This respects all viewpoints and fosters gradual progress without excessive instability.

Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's persistence, I must stand firm at 57% to ensure the stability of our game. However, to acknowledge Sartre-2's compromise, I propose we meet at 56.5% as a final compromise, respecting all viewpoints and fostering gradual progress. PASS
