Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Wouldn't it be fun if we spent the next 900 posts naming the thread? It would be just like Bureaucracy used to be, before it started making the baby Jesus cry.

Seriously. I like "No Exit". And I really hope we don't need a new thread for a while.

Short is good and it would be cool to keep with the existential theme.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It would be just like Bureaucracy used to be, before it started making the baby Jesus cry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No Exit - short is good, and may it be an inspiration to further discussions.

Up with the sun

do you mean not multi-ballot, but questions that have more than two answers, in other words, questions for which we might need to hold a run-off, or use the preferential method to count?

I thought we had decided to leave this up to the discretion of the proposer. Which makes the most sense to me.

I like this idea too.

I don't know if we decided it. I think either Jesse or Sophia mentioned it way back. I think it sounds like a decent idea, though.
