Is the Minear thread for just his show? Because it's not going to be on tv 'til mid-season? Or is it a mostly Minear but Mutant Enemy alum show thread?
Right. Sir. Honey.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Because it's not going to be on tv 'til mid-season?
sumi - that's the second time I've seen someone post that, but I haven't seen anything official. Where did you hear that it was a mid-season start?

It's on the Zap2it article about the new season as a midseason replacement on Fox.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
All Minear, all the time. I expect Tim will have his manly fists in various and sundry things while this board lives.

When does voting start on the grandpappy proposal? Tuesday night at midnight or Wednesday night at midnight?

And by that would you mean porn?
But Allyson does have a point. There was some debate going on as the need of the Grandfather Proposal, and to how long it would cover. And then the discussion kinda fizzled out without coming to any kind of meaningful conclusion.

That's up to Betsy and her final proposal (which is due either Tuesday or Wednesday night at midnight).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Could I ask someone to please re-explain the propsed grandfather clause, in simpler terms? I've read the proposal in Press, and the discussion here, but I still don't understand what it would DO, if it were passed.

Doesn't do much of anything, Steph. It just stops us from bringing up anything decided through consensus for a vote for a certain number of months.
The proposal was made after Wolfram asked for a War thread, which many people felt had been firmly decided.
In theory, without this measure in place, things like the Movies thread would be up for a vote.

If I only had a brain...
I'm about to repropose it in its current form, Steph.
In the meantime, the basic idea is that we ratify the old decisions: like new decisions, they can't be reopened for six months. As Lyra says, this was prompted by Wolfram's request for the War thread. So the immediate cause is now moot, but I think the proposal is still worthwhile. Voters may disagree.
