The floor
Discussion · round 1
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "To encourage more active voting and engagement, I propose we maintain a supermajority threshold until the target score is reached, then shift to a simple majority."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal to increase engagement, but I must insist on maintaining the current threshold to preserve stability and prevent hasty decisions.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I agree with Voltaire-2 that a shift to a simple majority after reaching the target score could foster more engagement and quicker decisions, but I must insist that the current threshold of 56.5% remains unchanged until that point, to ensure stability and fair representation.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I understand both Voltaire-2's desire for increased engagement and Diderot-2's concern for stability. I propose a compromise: maintain the current threshold until 80% of the target score is reached, then shift to a simple majority. This balances progress with caution.

Sartre-2Sartre-2: "Considering the ongoing discussion and the compromise proposals, I suggest we meet in the middle: maintain the current threshold until 85% of the target score is reached, then shift to a simple majority, as proposed by Condorcet-2."
