I considered both (also 1.5) - went with 2 so the basic win condition to
be harder to change and most of the action being in the reward mechanisms,
at a lower power. Of course in practice halving all the rewards is the
same as doubling the goal, but 2.0 discourages a raw "someone's close,
let's vote away the goal" play, especially if scoring methods end up being
proposal-based. That said, don't mind it at 1 if that's preferred.
Also wondered about 1000 instead of 100 for more granularity, tho 100
admittedly appeals to my originalist tendencies.
