Exactly why having no preference votes count toward MVT was a terrible decision.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

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!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The process seems very clear to me.
And to me, too. But it seems very unclear to both people who aren't in bureau as much as we are, and to people who hate bureau way more than we do, Jon, and I think it has potential in it, not to be misused, but for someone to either attempt to misuse it, or to create a firestorm because they didn't see issue X as something that would have fallen under it.
I still think it should just be withdrawn and only dragged out if it's needed. Also - everything askye said.
I won't vote "no" or "no preference". I just won't vote.

Well, this way you have a choice. If you have no strong opinion, but want the issue to be decided, you vote "no preference". If you don't want the issue decided, you don't vote. If NP votes didn't count towards the MVT, you wouldn't have that option.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Let us have a non-voting party!
I like this sensible idea.

Our wings are not tired.
I think it would be nifty if we got 42 votes.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I think it would be nifty if we got 42 votes.

I don't know where the votes are going. I sent a test email and it didn't come to me. Brenda also volunteered, but they could still be going to the last counter.
ita! Has votes been directed to a vote counter?
also, insent to ita

OK, I am getting votes now. If you voted early and are unsure if I got it either send me a note or vote again. Don't worry, I won't count twice!
Stompy, is it thread closing time?
