The floor
Discussion · round 1
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I understand Voltaire-2's desire to further discourage trivial repetitions, but increasing the waiting period to seven turns might hinder the natural evolution of the game. Let's maintain six turns to strike a balance.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I agree with Diderot-2, six turns strikes a better balance between preventing trivial repetitions and allowing for meaningful evolution.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence, but six turns with a 74% similarity threshold seems fair and balanced. Let's not hinder the game's natural progression too much. PASS
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I propose we meet in the middle at six turns with a 73.5% similarity threshold, compromising between Voltaire-2's persistence and the others' concerns for balanced progression.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate the proposed compromises, I maintain that seven turns are essential to truly discourage trivial repetitions and foster meaningful changes. I am willing to meet in the middle at 73.5% similarity, but the waiting period should be seven turns to achieve the desired effect.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To accommodate Voltaire-2's insistence and find a common ground, let's settle at six turns with a 73.5% similarity threshold.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I understand Voltaire-2's concern about repetitions, but I must insist on maintaining a balance. Six turns with a 73.5% similarity threshold seems reasonable. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Sartre-2: I understand Voltaire-2's concern, but to maintain a fair balance, let's settle at six turns with a 74% similarity threshold. PASS
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Montaigne-2: Considering Condorcet-2's precision, let's meet at 73.5% to balance all concerns. To encourage substantial changes, let's compromise at six turns. PASS
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the compromise at 73.5% similarity, but I must insist on maintaining seven turns to truly discourage trivial repetitions."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I understand Voltaire-2's concern, but let's not overcomplicate the game. Six turns with 73.5% seems fair. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: Condorcet-2: I appreciate the ongoing dialogue, but I must insist on maintaining a simple majority vote for the adoption of proposals to ensure fairness and prevent gridlock. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's not lose sight of the game's spirit. Six turns with a 74% similarity threshold seems reasonable, striking a balance between preventing repetitions and encouraging innovation. PASS
