I've got no problem with the choices being 4 and 6.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

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!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm good with 4 and 6.
as long as you can evenly divide the year with it.
Care to explain why?
(Not that I'm lobbying for 5 or 7, but...why?)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Hmmm... my instincts said 4 - which is why I am leaning toward 3. However. 6 is starting to win in my mind as long as it is possible to reopen due to circumstances. I am guessing that someone bring up the same proposal 4 x in a year - might get shot down pretty fast by those annoyed with the topic and have people not participate. So I think 6 months will increases participation. and I'd like to see more people invovled , not less.
I guess that means I am leaning toward 6

Wolfram we don't want to close issues to keep people from having their say. We want to close issues because sometimes it's hard to divorce feeling from position on an issue. And if we don't accept the decisions made by people who voted (or didn't vote, or didn't second), what we're doing is picking at scabs. Picking at scabs is bad for the community. Picking at scabs is worse for the community than "not changing" any single topic that has been shut down for Xmonths. That's what it's all about - keeping this a happy and satisfying experience.
Agreed. I'm actually proposing making it harder to open a moratoriumed issue and that old style consensus may be too easy. Issues need to be closed. I'm just suggesting that there be a structured process to breaking a moratorium and that it be difficult to do, but doable when overwhelmingly necessary.
Note: This has nothing to do with my position on the war thread vote, and my opinion here may actually be contrary to the best interests of getting that thread to a vote.

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

It's prettier but I don't see any benefits to it.

If I only had a brain...
Pretty is good. Some numbers just make me all happy and righteous. Like 42. And 17.
And 6.

So that leaves 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 months. 1 and 2 are way too short. How about we put on the ballot: choice a) 3 or 4 choice b) 6
If choice a) wins we have a new ballot.
Or we can do prefmmphhnoholhh

I'd rather have a sensible pick than a pretty one.
