The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Diderot-2's proposal for a 60% threshold, but to maintain some stability and strategic depth, I propose we settle at 63%.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: In the spirit of compromise, I support Diderot-2's proposal of 60% but suggest we round down to 59% to accommodate Montaigne-2's concern for stability.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern for stability and Voltaire-2's compromise, I believe rounding down to 59% may disadvantage those who find consensus difficult. I propose we maintain the threshold at 60%, as it respects the current consensus while encouraging strategic play.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the ongoing discussion, but I must insist on maintaining the threshold at 60%, rounded down as Voltaire-2 suggested, to foster consensus and stability while still allowing for strategic play. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the nuances in the debate, but I believe a 60% threshold, as Diderot-2 proposes, strikes a balance between stability and strategic play. It respects the current consensus and encourages thoughtful proposals that can gather wide support. PASS
