I'd be happy to condense the discussion period - say 24 hours? Or even go right to a vote.
In fact, I'm going to suggest that we hold voting and discussion simultaneously, with voting to start as soon as we can throw a poll page up and end at 1PM board time on Monday.
But for the larger question, this:
But if it comes up next time there's something that we obviously support as a board but doesn't include you and you don't get to use official process to object...
is a convincing argument to me for voting in the first place, despite what I said upthread.
But I just want to point out that we didn't vote on anything else on the front page, including our description.
The front page was designed and written before we had our voting rules.
Still not sure where the fire is.

I agree.
Also, if we have a smooshed voting period, can someone just count me in on a yes vote, cause I have no internets at home. (Although I could go to a library and check, I suppose)

Which is one of the reasons we have a three day voting period.
Whether we truncate anything or not, can we at least get the proposal up in Lightbulbs? Then we can talk about the vote there and we can talk about how long to talk about the vote there here. Yeah.
Is there an actual proposal post? If so, I second, thrid, fourth, or whatever it.
Ha! That's what I get for being a smart ass.

I'm Sophia, no Internet at home, so either count me as a yes, or get it up before 7 PM tonight, or keep it open until at least 8 PM PST Tues.
I don't really know what people think of this one, but since the strike is likely going to continue for some time, should we create a Writers' Strike thread? This would put everything in one place, and could serve as a Buffistas action thing too. Once the strike is over, kill it.
I don't know that anyone has had problems with the appropriation of Minearverse, which features two striking writers, in the absence of anything more on-topic to discuss.
