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

Oh, yup. So it could still be reproposed.

What is even happening?
You can still argue whether that's a good thing(which I again shall do, and then will shut up).
As it is now, it saves us from having to do it, again. That's sort of the point.
A proposal is floated. 42 people vote.
20 vote no. 19 vote yes. 3 vote no preference. The No vote wins. We all shut up for six months (this is KEY).
or
20 vote yes. 19 vote no. 3 vote no preference. The Yes vote wins. We all shut up for six months (again, KEY).
If we can't even get 42 to people to show up at all (even to vote no preference) then it remains open (KEY in a bad way).
Those who really don't want to get involved, already don't vote. I don't think we ever have anything approaching 100% of our regular posters voting, never mind the entire mass of registered Buffistas. The no preference voters want an issue settled in a way such that the majority of invested people win. I love that about our vote, because it all goes back to the key issue of shutting up, which is why we started voting, anyhow.

someone a while back asked for a definition of "binary walk". Gar provided one here.
'Twas I. Thanks, Jon (and Gar).

Shouldn't the repurposed Book Club be opened now (not that I have the book, but it's past midnight on the east coast)?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay. I did it. All hail the power of consensus.
Is my spoiler warning enough? Too much? Is it irritating to have the bold in the slug or does it mess anything up?

Looks fine. You'd know you were going to get spoilers when you went over there to subscribe. And since it's in the slug you don't see it all the time.
Thanks!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, the thing I worry about is that people may have still been subscribed to the closed thread and not know about it. I better go post in press, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Bold looks fine. And Press is a good idea too. Better one-post spam than sorry, in this case.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay. There. I also put the first post as a warning, so that should give eye-aversion time for those just hitting Read New.
