Polter-Cow, it was a voting system from hell that an unholy alliance of actuaries and Australians tried to foist upon our great republic.
In the event, I don't recall if we've even had a vote where it would be an issue. I think we've only ever had two options for any question put to a vote.

Oops, I didn't know this....
Hee. It's okay. Sorry to involve you in an in-joke you didn't know anything about--it's just that there was a bloody flamewar fought over preferential voting back when we were setting up the voting system.
this is happening every thread title now. I think I'd like to see us start voting on the things
This gets my vote. Well, either voting, or using some other decision-making process that doesn't require 100 posts to scroll past in Bureau every time.

I consense for No Consensus
I'm for DXM picking.
There was a kind of consensus about the one like "Didn't we already do the three squared one before?" (however that was phrased)
I remember four or five people liking that, which is pretty nearly a landslide in thread title selection. Seems a shame to waste a good number like 27 on "No Consensus." Soon we're going to get to numbers which have no cultural associations whatsoever. Or...one association like 57 and Heinz.

Signed, the Unholy Alliance
Soon we're going to get to numbers which have no cultural associations whatsoever.
I'm looking forward to this. The numerical references are getting old, and kind of forced.
