Who's counting the votes? I voted last night and still haven't received my confirmation email.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

See, but I am in the Gang of 14, but I don't think I am a core buffista!
Seriously, I am sure each person defines it differently, although I bet that ita would make everyone's list as she has so much to do with the technical aspects.
I tend to think of core buffistas as ones that I remember from way back at TableTalk, but I am sure others think differently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The confirmation email doesn't have anything to do with the vote counter. It's sent out automatically. Check your spam folder and see if it got tossed aside.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And I'll point out again that the inclusion of NP has never yet made a difference as to whether a thread was created.
Numerically, no, but I still feel like it's created an expectation that it's okay or even encouraged to vote "what she said" rather than what you actually think of the proposal. And if voting was supposed to reduce BS consensing, that's not the direction to go. (Down with NP!!)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I thought it was the Gang of 16?
Or is that the number of the Bitch Cabal?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sure you are! You, like, organized the first F2F and stuff! Even though you and Erin aren't around as much, you're still Hard Core, drat it!
In my mind.
Of course, everyone will have a different set of Core Buffistas. Which rules, in my opinion.

This is, of course, the real reason that There Is No Cabal.

As the person who had the fit of temper and used the expression, it was Gang of 14. Which, err, was really my low point as a human here. (Especially considering I was the fifteenth most active poster in B'crazy at the time. Though I was feeling frustrated and passionate enough that I probably would have used the expression even if I'd been #1.)

I'm going to throw my support behind the "down with no preference". I think it was created, IIRC, as a compromise for people who felt that they wanted a way to back what the majority wanted AND for people who felt that it was important for every person to vote every time.

Exactly!
