The stompies CAN NOT vote amongst themselves.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The stompies are nobody. The stompies are not an elite class of Buffistae, except for the fact that we can *actually* crush you beneath our bootheels. :)
Decisions are made by the group. Stompies just implement them.

Lyra Jane: Xander's defense of Apocalypse Now in "Restless". It was barely proposed at all--it was one of the episode quotes posted, and I think exactly one other person mentioned liking it as a thread title.

If someone gives me more quotes I can stick them in, but they'll have a serious disadvantage at this stage in the game. If someone wants to set an end time for the current poll, we can take the top 1, 2 or 3 titles and run them off against other proposed titles. I leave it up to Lyra Jane who started it all.

I voted twice. Once for me, once for Kat.

Ack, pressure!
These are my thoughts:
1) I think the current poll is very, very closely split. And I think a vote out of seven is always going to disenfranchise/piss off more people than a vote out of three or four -- I'd like there to be more of a consensus (yes, I know the Buffy thread poll ended at 52/48 or something, but to me that indicates more agreement than if the top 3 are 18/17/16 and we give it to the 18 -- if my math is right, that means 49% of the people wanted none of the three). So if it were solely up to me, I would do the top 3 from the current poll + Denzel as a runoff, starting tomorrow at noon eastern and going until 5:00 eastern time Monday.
2) But it's not solely up to me, and having three polls in a week is a lot. People may feel they've already voted and ignore the second poll, which would skew the results. It would also mean waiting on the thread at least until Monday, to ensure people who take the weekend off have time to vote. And Monday is President's day -- should we maybe wait until Tuesday?
So, in conclusion, I'd like to see a runoff, but I would undserstand if we went with the thread title that wins this poll. (When would we close it, incidentally?).

Shrift, I'm confused, because you deleted your post and all I could see are the ones responding to it-- but are you talking about reviving Mister Pointy and putting him on shriftweb? Because John's said he's going to put it onto www.rebeccalizard.net. Should I tell him to stop? Are you going to make changes? I'm not understanding what's going on.

Okay, I've added a None of the Above category, for all those people who hate all the titles proposed. (Think "Brewster's Millions".)Vote here.
