Heh. I think if we had a gaming thread, there would probably be a very small percentage of people who would participate, but I think we'd generate enough traffic to keep ourselves entertained.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So, uh...okay. How do I go about proposing a thread again?

Do I write a manifesto? Where do I post it? Here? Press?

I'm such a n00b to this whole "participatory democracy" thing in the context of b.org...

(Psst: you need 4 seconds. You've already got two. Once you get your 4, nag a Stompy to open up Light Bulbs.)

I'll fourth it, becuase I like to see things go to vote at least. I think we need one more person to give a "yea", right?

Thanks, Nutty.

Is this written down somewhere, the procedure? I desultorily poked around a bit and didn't find it...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh heavens, I don't know. I think Jon put it up someplace but we never got around to linking it in obvious places. It is SEKRIT DEMOCRACY.

Well, by my count, I have three "seconds", which is weird in and of itself. Just need one more...

...any takers? C'mon geeks! Relive the smell of your parents' basements, the rattle of dice in your hand, the mind-bending rage of THAC0!

Trust my rage

I'll second in support of democracy and further discussion.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Hah. Spot the people with me blocked. Not that I mind; I'd block me.

No, you were my second second. Unless I miscounted.
