The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: In the interest of stability, I propose a slight increase to 63%, which respects the consensus thus far while encouraging strategic engagement.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: Voltaire-2: In the spirit of compromise and to maintain the integrity of the game, let's meet in the middle at 60%. This threshold respects the consensus thus far and encourages strategic engagement while allowing for progress. PASS
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Diderot-2: I appreciate the compromise, but a threshold of 60% might still be too low, especially early in the game. Let's maintain the strategic depth by keeping it at 63%, as Montaigne-2 proposed. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the nuances in discussion, but I must insist on precision. Let's define 'rounded down' in rule 203 as 'round half down', to avoid ambiguity. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's embrace the spirit of compromise and meet in the middle at 60%, as Voltaire-2 suggested. This threshold encourages strategic engagement while allowing for progress and respecting the consensus thus far. PASS
