Can you clarify this for me? Are you saying that by your absence you should have no impact on the decision?
I don't think I'd say it like that. I'm saying, if you want to have an impact on the decision, participate.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

So if no one voted but three people and two voted yes, it should go? I think a quorum is an important factor in voting. I also see where the people who think no preference shouldn't be an option are coming from.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I voted no preference but I didn't mean it
Ha!
But seriously. I don't think I've ever voted no preference. I don't get *not actually wanting something to pass* but voting for it anyway. I would posit this is why almost everything that goes to a vote passes.

hah! that was Liese, actually. I see the word 'quorum' and my vision blurs and I can't see well enough to type any kind of opinion about it.

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

Is that how you interpret "no preference"? I think of it as "not caring how things go; just wanting them to fucking go (or to ensure the discussion is verboten for a while either way)."

I think I've only ever voted NP on sub-votes, i.e., "IF we create Thread X, the whitefont policy should be a,b,c, or NP. If there's an issue where I don't care about any of it, I just don't vote.
