Oh my god, I suck.
So - June 26-28, July 10-12, and June 19-21 are the run-off dates. Shall we have people pick their first, second, and third choices, and then weight accordingly?
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I think there should perhaps be the chance to include 'can't attend', because I think there's a difference between 'not my favourite, but I can do' and 'impossible', which should maybe be taken into account in the weighting?

For the runoff, would it make more sense to just vote yes/no on the dates, and then go with whichever one gets the most yes votes? I'm not really sure, just putting out an option.

I tend to agree with Hil. Of course, mathier minds may have other opinions.

Hil's suggestion works for me - I just wasn't comfortable with weighting 'not possible' and 'not my favourite' the same.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
We could have a "is there a day you CAN'T attend" box. That way, if its close we'd have a tie-breaker.

But that's covered if you tick yes or no for each date, surely? You might tick three yeses, or two, or one? Or did I misunderstand?

That's what I was figuring. "Yes" for can attend, "no" for can't attend, and maybe a "which is your first choice?" as a tiebreaker, if the can/can't attend vote is a tie.

I think what we've done in the past is along the lines of "will definitely attend", "will likely attend", "cannot attend" to see which date captures the most of us. I think that gives us a good picture with still a little flexibility.
