Where are you getting this? I thought it was four full days -- all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
So I misread? I thought Cindy's post said Midnight Wednesday to Midnight Friday.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

We're both wrong, Burrell -- it's three (Weds., Thurs., and Fri.). The days are midnight to midnight, EST.

So, um, HOW are we voting? In here? Via Mr Poll? Or through some new email system? Or was the vote planned before there was a means for tallying it?
Burrell, for this vote, everybody is sending emails to vote@buffistas.org and I'm countin' 'em by hand. Once it is determined (or not, I guess) that voting is how we want to make our decisions, fancier and schmancier balloting procedures will be designed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The voting for *this* procedure is via e-mail -- the form that Jon might make, or manually, to vote@buffistas.org in the format jengod suggested.

The procedure for this vote right now is email, but I don't think the mothod is worked out yet (see Jon's post).
Ah ha. That's not in Cindy's post (the one linked to in the Press) nor is it made explicit in the discussion that follows. I backtracked to try and figure out how we were supposed to vote, and even so it still isn't at all clear to me.

Also, I fear that people don't read press.
I read Press, Apocalypse and COMM religiously. Even when I'm not posting for weeks on end, I show up almost everyday to read those threads. They're quick, they're easy and they are interesting.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think the idea was after the discussion any changes would be made to Cindy's post, and reposted to open the vote, along with instructions.

I still am counting 48 hours for the vote. Am I that bad at math? Pathetic. That's why I can't participate in the higher math discussions.
Is it votes@buffistas.org (with an 's') or vote@buffistas.org?

it is the people whose names I hardly even know, in the show threads or in Firefly that I don't think even know some of the other threads exist.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I know that the idea of posting an announcement about every new vote (provided we vote to vote) in every thread was dismissed, but perhaps a general broadcast for this one, first-time vote would not be amiss.
Just a thought.
