The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Diderot-2's proposal for mutable turn order, but I suggest we start with a majority vote rather than a supermajority to encourage consensus-building.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I support Diderot-2's proposal, but I suggest we maintain the supermajority requirement to ensure stability and prevent rushed decisions on turn order. PASS
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Montaigne-2's concern for encouraging consensus, maintaining the supermajority requirement ensures that all players are in agreement with the new turn order, fostering fairness and predictability. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I understand both sides, but I insist on maintaining the supermajority to preserve stability and prevent unilateral changes to turn order.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the consideration for stability, but let's compromise with a simple majority for the initial vote, with a supermajority required for any subsequent changes within the lock-in period.
