I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Come on, Hec. I know you like the Sprawl.

I prefer Chiba City, myself.

Well, I'm proposing reopening it tomorrow, so I hope someone is around to deal with it. Feel free not to vote, Hec.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What's the rush, connie? The fall season doesn't start for a month.

Trust my rage

not connie, but it seemed like she was already making a fairly large concession to put off the vote on her proposal until now. i'm not sure which way I'll vote but I can see why she might not want to put off her proposal any longer.

What's the rush, connie? The fall season doesn't start for a month.

And speculation will be starting, and it just seemed a unique change of pace to have something ready to go when the need for it (for several of us) arises.

I'd rather not be on the mid-season break before the poll information is analyzed and re-analzyed and mulled and kerfuffled to the point where various people decide it's not a stake to the heart of the community to consider a TV thread.

If this loses, so be it. But something will be decided.

Our wings are not tired.

The ads are starting, and the time agreed to take a break ends tomorrow. We can have the "where do we go from here" (with music!) discussion overlap. The more general conversations that will take place when the poll is over will likely extend for some time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But something will be decided.
It's why we vote.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

We already had four days of discussion when Connie agreed to postpone the vote. So does that mean we go straight to the voting tomorrow? Since the postponement was "extra-constitutional" (i.e. our voted-upon rules don't allow for it), we're in uncharted waters. Personally, I think there's been quite enough discussion and we should go straight to the vote, but what do others think?
