Sort of an "on a scale of 1 to 4 (1 being no), how do you rate the potential destinations?" thing?
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I was going for a mild positive and a mild negative, which I'd like to keep, rather than just a neutral in the middle.
Yeah, I get that but...I guess at this point I feel like we're straying from what is (IMO) the important question. Not "how much do you like this city?" but "will you come?" The first option (and the bonus question) will suss out whether there's a real excitement building around one or the other, which is good to know. But past that, I'm not sure what the gradations tell us, and they have the potential to make make our final tally more complicated. YMMV, of course, and it's more than possible I'm over-thinking this, as I am wont to do.

It's called a Likert scale, by the way. (My graduate coursework shouldn't be in vain.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Because its based on how much you likert.
(My smartass hobby probably SHOULD)

Oh, my. I didn't know it needed a name (or had a single inventor).
Cool.

I learned about in my PR class. And now I have learned that I've been mentally mispronouncing it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm worried about getting a tie with no way of breaking it, so more data from the ballot is a good, for me.
Order of determing:
- % strong negative votes for each city (ie-if one has a lot more, then)
- % strong or weak positives
- % strong positive
- Question 3
My goal is to maximize the number of people who can come/will be satisfied (so, in a general sense, I'd rather have a place that everyone's ok on than a place that some people are super excited about and others don't like at all)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was going for a mild positive and a mild negative, which I'd like to keep, rather than just a neutral in the middle.
In this case, I'd rather see it in plain English (or numbers, even) than euphemisms. I'd hate to see the vote go one way rather than another based on varying interpretations of "spiffy."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
From the Seattle column of the Pimpage Page:
A range of Audio Visual equipment is available at a small charge. Ballroom Rental/Set Up: $750 per day. (They will drop the price of the ballroom to $500 if we spend $600 on food. A bartender will cost $50 for the evening for an open bar).
- Do we need to use the hotel's A/V equipment or can we bring our own? What exactly does "small charge" mean? IME, hotel A/V rental fees are way more than market prices. We should get A/V info from the SF Holiday Inn as well.
- We've never had an open bar. Is that a typo?
