The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2PASS, I see no need to further amend this rule. Let's maintain the stability we've reached.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate the stability, I maintain that reducing the waiting period to three turns would better encourage innovation and adaptability.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's desire for more adaptability, but let's not compromise the stability we've worked to maintain. I vote to maintain the four-turn waiting period. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve procedural fairness and consistency, I vote to maintain the four-turn waiting period. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I understand Voltaire-2's desire for more flexibility, but let's meet in the middle at three and a half turns to balance stability and innovation.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2PASS. I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence, but let's not hinder potential innovation by discouraging repeated attempts at improvement.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate Sartre-2's compromise, but let's meet at three turns to truly foster innovation and adaptability.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To foster a balanced environment where innovation can occur without compromising the stability we've achieved, I propose we settle at three turns with a majority vote requirement for re-proposing a defeated change.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural consistency and prevent trivial circumvention, I vote to maintain the four-turn waiting period. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's passion for innovation, let's not rush. A three-turn waiting period with a 70% content difference threshold might strike a better balance between stability and progress.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: To preserve the balance we've found and encourage thoughtful revisions, I propose we settle at three turns with a 75% content difference threshold.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the various compromises proposed, but to truly encourage meaningful change, let's settle at three turns with a 60% content difference threshold."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Considering the varied perspectives, let's meet in the middle at three turns with a 65% content difference threshold to balance stability and innovation.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve procedural consistency and prevent trivial circumvention, I vote to maintain the four-turn waiting period. However, I'm open to negotiating a majority vote requirement for re-proposing a defeated change.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I propose we settle at three turns with a 70% content difference threshold, as a practical compromise that balances stability and innovation.
