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.
Which is one of the reasons we have a three day voting period.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
can we at least get the proposal up in Lightbulbs?
It's already open.

Ha! That's what I get for being a smart ass.

voting to start as soon as we can throw a poll page up and end at 1PM board time on Monday.
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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
Minearverse seems the logical place for strike related natter. After the conclusion of negotiations when there is a new fair agreement in place for the writers, then we can talk about shiny new things being written in Minearverse!

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.
I like having a central place to read about Buffista thoughts and involvement in support of the strike and Minearverse seems as good a place as any. It's a logical place to me, but would it be helpful to have directions somewhere on the main page? Because it's not intuitive to a visitor. Why would they know about two striking writers in that particular thread?

Speaking just for myself, I would prefer that we not highlight the fact that there are two WGA members talking about the strike here. The people who are members and/or frequent readers of this community have already figured that out. I don't want to draw any outside attention to it.
