I'm pretty sure Thomas was talking about the unanimity. Perkins' post doesn't mention quorum.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Ah, right.

If that one didn't make quorum there would have been a real problem.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have to chime in and say that I'm very invested in making it to the next F2F, and I thought it was a great proposal and fully intended to vote yes, and then... completely spaced like an idiot.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
does it qualify for a BS consensus then?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
No. That's why we sweated out our rules.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It`s fine. We were going to be late this year anyway, so we can pimp and plan as usual. The moratorium is only six months, right, so if people still feel strongly about it, it can be re-proposed in plenty of time for next year.
I know it probably doesn`t feel like it now, but having a proposal fail to meet quorum may be a
good
thing. It means we`ve set the number correctly (for a while I thought it was too low, despite the sheer perfection of the number itself) and it`s a good reminder for people to participate in our civic process. We can revisit this topic later, after time has passed, as intended by the system we worked out. It`s not a bad thing, inherently, even for this particular proposal.

Yep, this. To be clear, I wasn't upset that it isn't passing; I was bummed that not enough people voted to even qualify. Regardless, it's moot now. We'll bs consensus in F2F to use November this year, I imagine, and I'll re-propose it in six months if I remember. Someone poke me in six months.

I'm another of those folks who fully intended to vote, but then lost track of time and the next thing I knew the vote had closed. This may be the only vote I've missed since I started actually paying attention to B'crazy, Lightbulbs and Press, which it took me a couple of years to really get the swing of things. I like voting, it's exciting!
