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

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!

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

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
t puts hand over mouth

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
6 is it! Because who needs more divisors than that?
And can I say how pleased I am that my cheese butt thread notion has become general voting parlance? Carry on!
My thinking on the extraordinary circumstances is to set the bar at a clearly high mark. Also known as, the circumstances should have to be extraordinary enough and clear enough that a bunch of people all at once say, Gee, need to reconsider. Also known as, a Bureaucracy consensus.
(Also, much as I might approve a suddent TV programming move to All Butt All the Time, TV doesn't generally happen so quickly that we can't anticipate the boob tube. I mean, we fought over how westerns and sci fi are or are not alike for 2,000 posts in the Firefly thread before Firefly ever aired.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
As long as the ballot has exactly two choices and one of them is 6, I'm okay with it.
Because 6 is the One True Way. Go 6! Choose 6!

All Butt on the boob tube. There's a joke in there somewhere but I'm too tired to find it.

Agreeing with sophia, et. al., on consensus and with nutty, et. al., on the beauty of the number 6.

Maybe the vote could be
(a) 6 months (also known as the Number of the Righteous) or (b) my vote doesn't count.
That's how it would work in Iraq....
