There were four cities in the final vote, but there was a fair amount of narrowing of cities before that.
There were two rounds of voting. The first narrowed the choices from 6 to 4, and the second round produced one winner.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I really strongly oppose a straight "which one" vote. More people may prefer one, but be able to attend the other, while people who prefer the other can't attend the winner.

I'm getting the pig!
I'm extremely confused as to why people would vote for a city just because they preferred it but couldn't attend the F2F there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the goal is to capture the difference between "Prefer to go to SF, can make Seattle" and "Can't afford Seattle, can we do SF?"

I don't think she meant "Vote for one but only be able to attend the other," just "vote for one but also be able to attend the other." I think.

Our wings are not tired
Buffistas do many things which confuse me.

Once again, too slow on the post.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My feeling is that it doesn't matter which one people prefer, if they'd attend either way.
[That came out more callous than it should have. What I mean is, there are going to be people who are only going to be able to go to one or the other. They are the people who the vote will ultimately affect most, and so the vote should be worded in such a way as to make their votes count. The people who can't afford to go, period, and the people who will be there wherever it is aren't really as important to this part of the process.]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But if the same number of people can go to either, preference would then have a role in the decision.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
The problem, Deb, is that it doesn't take into account people who will attend either, but have a clear preference. I'm trying to come up with a ballot that accounts for both willingness/ability to attend and enthusiasm for the location, which, I think, is similar to what you're saying, Brenda.
Oh, OK - got it. Makes sense, even if it makes it trickier.
Carry on.
