Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I wonder if the people who would have voted NP elected to not vote. The turnout is smaller than we had for the last vote on the SPN thread.

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

On the other hand, the SPN discussion raised a lot of very strong feelings both for and against the proposal itself; this one seemed to have a lot more emotion around questions didn't have to do with the proposal at all. That makes the lower turnout not so surprising to me.

True. And it is still a higher turnout than we've had on some other recent votes.

Wow. That was a close vote.

What is even happening?

Yes, it was. I voted for it, but I'm not surprised it lost. I don't blame Connie a bit for not wanting to wait any longer, but at the same time, it didn't seem the right time to put it through, when we're in the middle of extreme navel gazing.

Well, among other things, let it never be said again that an expanson vote never failed.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

This just eliminates a Network Drama thread, though, right? This isn't the end of the television question altogether. So we could open a proposal on genre threads.

Yes. Howerver, I know folks have been talking about proposing the equivalent of the experimental comedy thread, and I'm not sure how rushing a proposal might go at this point period (either the comedy thread OR something else).
