No consensus.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No consensus.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'd only like the voting idea if everyone who voted coulc pick, say, their five favorint titles (ranked 1 to 5) and then when the votes are totaled, higher-ranked titles would receive more points.
Preferential...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
If there's no consensus, I'm just going to pick whatever suits my fancy. And don't think I won't turn this car around, either.

Sorry, I didn't know that's what this is called. My post was a x-post with Billytea's.
eta:
preferential voting business that seems to have caused such a controversy back in the day?
Oops, I didn't know this....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't mean to bring up a sore topic, but could someone please explain this preferential voting business that seems to have caused such a controversy back in the day?
So it's basically what tommyrot described? Huh.

So far, the consensus is No Consensus.
Which is as it should be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The best explanation I've come up with is: imagine a large room, with a banner on the wall somewhere for each option. Everyone goes and stands by their favourite option. Then the least popular option gets its banner torn down and everyone by that poster is told to pick again. So they all go off to new banners (or say they don't like any of the other posters, and go sit in the middle of the floor). We count up numbers again, and the least popular option gets its banner torn down too and everyone there gets shooed off to their next favourite option.
You keep doing this until there are only two options left. Whichever one has the most people voting for it wins. Only, it all happens instantly.

Polter-Cow, it was a voting system from hell that an unholy alliance of actuaries and Australians tried to foist upon our great republic.
