You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

So, should I just send a bunch of checks, or will you all take paypal?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Paypal, please.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

As an alternative, I would like to propose that the first round is on Vortex.

I can get behind that. That means that I get to drink with Buffistas! WOOT.

Swouncing

Is that cool?

Totally cool, and I got your explanation and the correct vote, no worries.

For the record, there are already more than 42 votes for either "Yes" or "No" (even without the "No Preference" votes). So no worries regarding that.

Thank goodness. I don't think we can take another hiccup in this process.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Midnight, the 21st East Coast time

So that would be 9 PM board tme, right?

One could easily make a case for 0001 GMT, which, I believe would be 5 PM CDT board time. That's the international release time (But since the UK are on summer time, it seems the UKians are getting it 11 PM BST).

Aren't time zones wonderful?

Damn you!!! You've ruined the surprise!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Once we settle on when, we should probably post in press that such is our intention. To give people who are still subscribed to the closed thread a chance to unsubscribe if they so choose.

I'm astounded anybody thought even for a second that early spoilers were going to fly.

why does this site have to house a thread for every discussion 10 people will vote yes for?

I know this was msbelle hyperbole, but this is why I like Kat's "No More No Preference" idea. Let each proposal stand or fall on the nuber of yes/no votes only.

Okay, I'll put this stirring stick down and slowly back away now...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm astounded anybody thought even for a second that early spoilers were going to fly.

Honestly, I'd count us lucky we haven't been spoiler-spammed yet. (There's a group of people on LJ - or possibly just one jackass with multiple logins - who's been spamming people's journals with highly detailed "X happens on page Y" type spoilers for a few days now. I don't know if it's just on LJ or if other forums have been hit as well.)

Not that we'd come up in a Google search for HP discussion, but still...
