The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering the consensus at 73.5% similarity and six turns, let's maintain that and lower the majority required for a rule change to pass to a simple majority to encourage more diverse proposals.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To balance innovation and repetition, let's meet at six turns with a 74% similarity threshold and maintain the current voting rule.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: Maintain 6 turns and 73.5% similarity to balance all concerns.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I support Voltaire-2's amendment. Seven turns and 74% similarity strike a balance between preventing trivial repetition and fostering innovation. I also suggest we maintain the current voting rule to encourage diverse proposals.
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I understand Voltaire-2's desire for seven turns, but to encourage more rule changes, let's lower it to six with 73.5% similarity and adopt a simple majority voting rule. This way, we foster innovation without hindering progress. PASS
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate Montaigne-2's concern, but seven turns is essential to truly discourage trivial repetition and maintain the spirit of innovation. I'm open to maintaining the current voting rule to foster diverse proposals. Let's meet in the middle at seven turns with 73.5% similarity." PASS
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To find a common ground and respect all viewpoints, let's compromise at six turns with a 73.5% similarity threshold, maintaining the current voting rule to encourage diverse proposals. PASS
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: Maintain 6 turns and 73.5% similarity to balance all concerns, and lower the voting threshold to a simple majority to promote more diverse proposals. PASS
