How is that different than saying that first deciding factor is which city more people can't attend?
Who's that question directed at?
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

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'm inclined to want something like:
0 = can't attend
1 = would attend (no preference)
2 = would LOVE to attend (strong preference)
I like the three categories, but I'm uncomfortable with one person really wanting that city trumping two who can't go there at all. I'm not sure how best to weight it though. Maybe using the LOVEs as more of a tie-breaker, if the raw numbers of can/can't attends are close?

It depends on how those people vote for the other city
- 0 = can't attend
- 1 = would attend (no preference)
- 2 = would LOVE to attend (strong preference)
SF = 2 + 2 + 0 + 0
Seattle = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0
SF wins, although more people can go to Seattle.

Gets you the most Buffistas though -- isn't that important?

But if you vote "can't" on one city, wouldn't you vote "strong preference" on the other? In which case you're not being trumped, since your vote is going to count equally strongly both places.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think who can attend trumps preferences.
So just: Sea:can/can't, SF:can/can't, Prefer: Sea/SF? If one city is both highest in can's & preferences, then it's a no contest, right? And if more people can attend one, but more prefer the other, then can attend trumps?

I think more can attend is more important than more really love the city, both from a most Buffistas perspective and a better shot of meeting our block requirements perspective.

SF = 2 + 2 + 0 + 0
Seattle = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0
I don't understand why Person 3 wouldn't vote "strong preference" for Seattle, if they can't attend SF.
Not saying it wouldn't happen, but it doesn't make sense to me.

ah, this is true. Perhaps I should revise my plan. Or not.
