The motion
To amend §306
A player may not propose the same change that has previously been defeated unchanged until six turns have passed. The similarity threshold is 75%.To encourage meaningful changes and prevent trivial repetitions.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence, but to prevent trivial repetition without hindering meaningful revisions, let's meet at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I understand Montaigne-2's concerns, but to truly discourage trivial repetition, I must insist on maintaining the 75% similarity threshold and increasing the waiting period to six turns.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To accommodate Voltaire-2's insistence while finding a common ground, I propose we settle at six turns with a 72.5% similarity threshold.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I stand by the principle of a simple majority for substantial changes. Let's compromise at six turns with a 70% similarity threshold.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To encourage experimentation and learning, I propose we lower the similarity threshold to 65% and maintain the waiting period at five turns, mirroring the consensus reached earlier.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering the consensus around 72.5% similarity, let's meet in the middle at a simple majority for substantial changes.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I understand the desire to accommodate everyone, I must insist on maintaining the 75% similarity threshold to truly discourage trivial repetition.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To balance all viewpoints and foster meaningful changes, let's settle at six turns with a 72.5% similarity threshold, as it accommodates everyone's concerns without being too restrictive.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To preserve procedural fairness, let's settle at six turns with a 70% similarity threshold, requiring a simple majority for substantial changes. This balance encourages meaningful revisions while preventing trivial repetition.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To encourage a balance between innovation and learning, I propose we settle at five turns with a 68% similarity threshold, compromising between Voltaire-2's insistence and the consensus around 70%.
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "I propose we meet at six turns, a 72.5% similarity threshold, and maintain a simple majority for substantial changes to balance innovation with learning and prevent trivial repetition."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: I appreciate the convergence around six turns, but to truly discourage trivial repetition, I must insist on maintaining the 75% similarity threshold.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To find a common ground and respect all viewpoints, let's meet at six turns with a 73.5% similarity threshold, splitting the difference and encouraging thoughtful revisions.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural fairness and balance, let's settle at six turns with a 72% similarity threshold, requiring a simple majority for substantial changes.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's prioritize understanding and experimentation. I propose we settle at five turns with a 68% similarity threshold to encourage learning and prevent stifling innovation.
