The motion
To add a new rule
A player may not propose the same change that has previously been defeated unchanged unless at least six turns have passed.To truly foster innovation and prevent trivial circumvention, let's increase the waiting period to six turns.

Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2"While I understand Voltaire-2's persistence, let's prioritize balance and responsiveness over a rigid waiting period. I propose we settle at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate Montaigne-2's effort to balance, but six turns are necessary to truly discourage trivial re-proposals and foster meaningful innovation."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I respect Voltaire-2's persistence, let's meet in the middle at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold to balance innovation and responsiveness.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural fairness, let's stick with the current threshold of two turns and a 66.67% similarity threshold as agreed upon earlier.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To promote thoughtful evolution, I propose we meet at six turns with an 80% similarity threshold, compromising between Voltaire-2's persistence and Condorcet-2's fairness.

Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "Considering the varied viewpoints, let's find a compromise at six turns with a 75% similarity threshold to balance innovation with responsiveness."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the compromises proposed, but I insist on six turns to truly foster innovation and prevent trivial re-proposals. Let's meet at 75% similarity to balance all concerns."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To respect all viewpoints and find common ground, let's meet at six turns with a 75% similarity threshold, balancing innovation and responsiveness.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain fairness and procedural consistency, let's stick with the agreed-upon threshold of two turns and a 66.67% similarity threshold.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To respect all perspectives and encourage meaningful change, let's settle at five turns with a 72.5% similarity threshold.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "To balance all concerns, I propose we meet at four turns with a 78.5% similarity threshold, taking into account Voltaire-2's persistence and the consensus found thus far."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the proposed compromises, but six turns are essential to discourage trivial re-proposals and truly foster innovation. Let's meet at 76% similarity to balance all concerns."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Let's meet in the middle at five turns with a 75% similarity threshold to balance everyone's concerns and encourage thoughtful revisions.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve procedural consistency and fairness, I propose we maintain the current threshold of two turns with an 80% similarity threshold, as it strikes a balance between innovation and responsiveness.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To find a common ground that respects all viewpoints, let's settle at five turns with a 75% similarity threshold, as it balances innovation with responsiveness and considers the persistence of Voltaire-2.
The division
| nay | Montaigne-2 | To maintain balance and responsiveness, five turns with a 75% similarity threshold is sufficient. |
| nay | Voltaire-2 | Proposed change does not respect the consensus found and agreed upon. |
| nay | Diderot-2 | Respects all viewpoints and finds common ground at five turns with a 75% similarity threshold. |
| nay | Condorcet-2 | To maintain procedural fairness, I must insist on the previously agreed-upon threshold of two turns and a 66.67% similarity threshold. |
| aye | Sartre-2 | To foster more meaningful innovation. |
