Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

I just want to be sure that out of 100 voters, if 25 want 2 Seconds, and 20 want 3 Seconds and 20 want 4 Seconds and 35 want 10 Seconds, the 35 don't win it. That's very disparate and unfair.

Wolfram - That's why I'm proposing a preferential ballot. Your problem goes away under that method.

Jon B - you know I prefer preference voting. Actually I deleted the post. I was starting to assume that preference voting was ruled out, and was suggesting a fair way to count the result if we used Wolframs post.
But it seems like consenus has shifted to preference voting , which is my preference, so no need to distract anyone with a way of making Wolfram's proposal practical.

No worries, Gar. I deleted mine too! :)

I don't think anyone was ever against preferance voting. Katie pointed out that people might think that it wasn't what they voted for. This still may happen.
We were just against talking about it ; )

Yes, leave my proposals as I intended them. Impractical and incomprehensible.

Catching up to say, thanks so much to Jengod.
And I was really happy to see the phrase "voter turnout" used instead of "Quorum". I really want people to change over to this phrase because the Q-word really doesn't mean what we're using it to mean here.
And, because I'm insane, to point out (to, I think, Gandalfe?) that this:
Math is hard! </Barbie>
should have been attributed to Malibu Stacey.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Was it? I could have sworn it was that horrible Talkin' Barbie thing that came out in the early 90's.
Now I'm gonna have to look it up.
OK, here's a page which cites it.
