what about the sanity check?
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Do you have to pass the sanity test, or fail it?

I was thinking fail myself.
It should wait until Sean decides if he's going to use his place in queue or not.
I'm going to pass on that one. I couldn't even get four Buffistas to agree to talk about it. How lame is that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In all fairness, you did try while another proposal was on the table.

That never really seemed to stop people before. At least, I (and Wolfram seemed to concur) rememebr a time when we had more than one seconded proposal waiting to get discussed and voted on.
Maybe I'm wrong?

If you want it, propose it when there's no other proposal on the table. That's really all I was saying.
It still might not fly, but why not give it an unencumbered chance if you believe in it?

Well, that's the other reason I'm throwing in the towel. I just wasn't that attached to the proposal in the first place, and what little discussion was generated convinced me that I didn't like the idea at all. Not as I could formulate it, anyway.

Okay, I'm too lazy right now to threadsuck, but I'm pretty sure my memory is accurate on this issue. Early on, when I first proposed a War/Politics thread and had gotten about two seconds, someone made a second proposal about whether older consensed decisions should be grandfathered in and subject to a moratorium. The second proposal got four seconds before mine did (although subsequently mine got the necessary four.) At the time, my proposal was queued to follow the grandfather proposal. There was a lot of hurt feelings surrounding the War/Politics proposal (and I take most of the blame for that), but I pointed out that should the grandfather proposal win it would moot my proposal. Which it did.
So basically, a second proposal was queued at one time, but it never actually went to discussion due to mootage.
