I actually think the vote needs to be closed as well, I just wasn't clear from the discussion here or in Firefly whether or not that was the case.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I meant it should be considered closed as of when Nilly posted the results.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
When will we know this for sure?

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
Let's bullshit consense.

See, I KNEW it was confusing...
I agree with this, but I think if we go the other way we need to make an announcement and take down the results. And I am not sure how we decide this except by consensus.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, agree to disagree. IMO it should be closed as of the expiration of the period that is provided for in our rules, not at the choice of the vote-counter. But that's not going to matter unless there's a different result in this case.
I hadn't realized the thread was close to closing. Given the early results we may as well open a new thread.

I agree in theory, and I think we should make sure that it goes this way in the future. I think our choices now are to either go with it as posted, announce that it has been extended, or declare the vote as invalid and start over. I think, since it has been announced, we sort of have to go with it, but I realize others disagree.

I think we've been a little loosey-goosey with the time frame before, haven't we?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't remember having the period shortened before, or not shortened without warning that it would be.
