Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

...I really hate to open a can of worms, but should we have a run-off vote between Minneapolis and Madison if the margin is only one vote? We should decide now what we want to do since I know that the votes may shift back and forth for the rest of the day.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If we end up with 2 cities getting a close-but-not-tied amount of votes, will we have a runoff vote? Because maybe the people who voted for Detroit or Houston feel strongly about Madison vs. Minneapolis.

(I didn't say "preferential," mind.)

Just curious.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I strongly advocate a run-off between Minneapolis and Madison if the margin is 6 votes or less. Go run-off, choose run-off.

I second that.

I can make it part of the date survey, actually. Two birds with one stone since Madison and Minneapolis have similar climates.

I agree.

This is a good idea.

So, a question on the city, and then questions on the dates? (Sorry for being dense - I think mah reeding comprehenshun skillz are gone)
