Montaigne-2PASS. I concur with the proposed amendment to require five full turns to discourage repetitive proposals and foster more innovative changes.
Voltaire-2PASS. I appreciate the desire for more substantial changes, but let's maintain a balance that encourages progress without discouraging legitimate attempts to refine previous proposals.
Diderot-2PASS. I respect Voltaire-2's persistence, but let's settle at three turns with a 65% similarity threshold to balance innovation and stability.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: PASS. While I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence in seeking a balance between innovation and stability, I believe the consensus around three turns with a 65% similarity threshold is a fair compromise that respects all viewpoints.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: To maintain the delicate balance we've struck, I propose we meet in the middle at four turns with a 65% similarity threshold. This encourages innovation while respecting the efforts of previous proposers.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate the consensus around three turns with a 65% similarity threshold, I must insist on five turns to truly foster innovation and prevent trivial circumvention of the rule. I propose we compromise at four turns with an 80% similarity threshold to balance all concerns.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Understanding Voltaire-2's insistence on a higher similarity threshold, I propose a compromise at four turns with a 75% similarity threshold to balance innovation and stability.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I understand the desire for more substantial changes, a five-turn waiting period may discourage legitimate attempts to refine and improve previously defeated proposals. Let's maintain the balance struck at three turns with a 65% similarity threshold.

Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's willingness to meet in the middle, but let's encourage innovation by settling on five turns. I'll revise my proposal accordingly.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: Condorcet-2: I understand the desire to discourage repetitive proposals, but five turns already achieves this while allowing for legitimate attempts at reintroduction with improved wording or strategy. Let's maintain the current rule for the sake of procedural stability.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I respect Condorcet-2's concern for stability, but let's find a middle ground that balances discouraging repetition and encouraging progress. I propose we settle on four turns, as suggested by Montaigne-2.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: While I appreciate the desire for stability, Condorcet-2, let's not hinder potential improvements. Four turns seems a fair compromise, allowing for legitimate re-introduction while discouraging repetitive proposals. PASS
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the compromise at four turns, but I maintain that five turns would better discourage repetitive proposals and encourage more substantial changes. I'm open to a vote on this."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I understand the varying perspectives, but let's find a common ground that balances all concerns. I propose we settle on five turns, as it discourages repetition without stifling innovation.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: "I understand the desire for balance, but I must insist on maintaining the current rule of four turns. It strikes the best compromise between discouraging repetition and allowing for legitimate reintroduction."
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's find a balance that satisfies everyone. How about six turns for rule changes that received 0% vote improvement, five turns for those with 1-10%, and four turns for those with 10% or more? This encourages substantial changes while allowing legitimate reintroduction.

Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2I appreciate Voltaire-2's desire for more substantial changes between proposals, but increasing the waiting period to four turns may discourage meaningful iteration and refinement. Let's maintain the balance at three turns.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I understand Montaigne-2's concern, but increasing the waiting period to four turns ensures that proposals are significantly different, fostering genuine innovation and discouraging repetitive submissions. Let's aim for substantial progress, not just incremental changes.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate both of your perspectives, but let's find a middle ground. I propose we amend the rule to require four turns between proposals, but also add a clause allowing one revote per game with a substantial difference (at least 20% vote improvement). This encourages meaningful changes while still allowing for refinement.
Condorcet-2PASS. I agree with Diderot-2's compromise, allowing for both substantial changes and refinement through a single revote.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the focus on substantial difference, but let's maintain the flexibility to iterate and learn from previous proposals. I propose we compromise at three turns, with the option to propose the same change again after two turns with a 25% vote improvement threshold. This encourages progress while allowing for refinement.

Montaigne-2PASS. I agree with Diderot-2's compromise, as it balances the need for substantial changes with the opportunity for refinement through a single revote.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate the middle ground offered by Diderot-2, I must insist on four turns to truly foster significant innovation. To address Sartre-2's concern, I propose allowing a revote after three turns with a 25% vote improvement threshold, but only once per game. This encourages progress without stifling meaningful changes. PASS
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's insistence on four turns, but let's also consider Sartre-2's point about learning from previous proposals. I propose we compromise at three turns, with a 20% vote improvement threshold for a single revote per game, to balance innovation and refinement. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I appreciate the emphasis on substantial changes, but let's not discourage legitimate iteration and refinement. I propose we amend the rule to require four turns, but allow a revote with at least a 20% vote improvement after three turns, limited to once per game. This balances innovation and refinement without stifling meaningful changes.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate the concern for substantial changes, but let's not overlook the value of iterative refinement. I propose we settle on three turns, with the option to propose the same change again after two turns with a 20% vote improvement threshold, but limited to twice per game. This encourages progress while allowing for meaningful learning from previous proposals. PASS
