Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's proposal to increase the proposer's gain, but to maintain balance, let's increase the proposer's gain to 6 points and keep the opposer's gain at 5 points.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's perspective, but increasing the proposer's gain to 7 points encourages more strategic and thoughtful proposals, fostering a more engaging game. Let's meet in the middle at 6 points for the proposer and 8 points for the opposer, rewarding both strategic engagement and dissent."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the spirit of the proposal, I must prioritize inclusivity and fairness. Let's stick with the agreed 60% threshold and maintain the opposer's gain at 5 points.

Sartre-2Sartre-2: In the spirit of experimentation and encouraging strategic proposals, let's meet in the middle at 6 points for the proposer and 7 points for the opposer, rewarding both strategic engagement and dissent.
