if you vote "can't" on one city, wouldn't you vote "strong preference" on the other?
Have you met people? It'd need to be in the rules -- and even then, I'd enforce it in the tallying, if not the software.
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!

Do you have an illogic-proof method, then?
ita, yes.
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.
Plei said what I was thinking.
Gah. Can't keep up. ita, that was directed at Vortex.
I'm thinking, since the reasoning behind the information we want is two-stage, maybe the question should still be a two-parter, e.g.
1. Where can you attend? (Options: Seattle yes/no, SF yes/no)
2. Where do you prefer? (Seattle, SF, no preference between them)
I agree with billytea's two-part question. It gets us the required information clearly, without having to sort through too many layers.
There are two important totals: Who wants a given city, and who can go to a given city. The latter should be the priority -- correct? But the former will be considered.
This is how I feel about it.
bt's suggestion would get that info. out, yes?
is the first deciding factor which city people CANT attend? that seems a bit negative to me.
Think of it as the deciding factor being which city would have the largest number of potential attendees.
Are we assuming that if someone can't attend in one city then they will definitely attend in the other? That's a pretty large leap.
