Does "plurality" mean "the option with most votes"?
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

If I only had a brain...
"Plurality -- the largest number of votes, whether or not that number exceeds 50%. For instance, if the votes are split 35%-33%-32%, the 35% number would win."
Edit at will.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. I'll put that in.

Okay. I propose a vote.
If you want me to, I'm here to tally.

I'm pro-ita's proposal.

I'm with Betsy and Jim. I'm worried that this endless hairsplitting is damaging people's enjoyment of the board, and causing more strife than it aimed to fix. I'd like to see some voting process in place, but I don't think it has to be this complicated.
I've tried to stay involved in the process, but I haven't read that last 300 posts or so, because it's making me a little crazy. I'm now okay with letting everyone else tire themselves out chasing their own tail.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'll go with that, as it's clearly something that needs to be decided.

Ok, a proposal has been made and seconded and thirded and, I think, fourthed. And I'll fifth it.
So now if this really is an attempt at a democracy, a vote should happen on this issue right now. Whomever sets it up, set it up and let's go.
We can discuss ad nauseum, but there should be no more discussion as to IF this vote should happen, because it has been proposed and seconded.
