Ok, I think we can agree there's a consensus on six as a ballot option? So can we hear from people who have an opinion on three v. four?
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

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!

Good idea. Go three-or-four people.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
You know what's weird? Is that, as Jess (I think) pointed out, 6 months ago was the site's birth, and that feels like foreverago, but 3 months ago was when mieskie was suspended, and that feels like yesterday.
I think it might be the whole get-used-to-site feeling that helps the 6-month anniversary feel like foreverago. Conversely, 6 months ago was the last time I picked any cherry tomatoes from the (now dead) plant on my balcony, and when the TV season (roughly) started, and my birthday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I think three months is just right. (Note: I'm not sure this will remain my opinion, but I'll spin it out a little.) It's the half-life of the board. If, at this point, we had discussed a single issue two times, for a week each, that seems OK. My birthday was three months ago, and that was forever ago! Time FLIES.
Also? Shit doesn't HAVE to be revisited.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
3 Months. It's a more natural division of time.

Clarification: 3 months should be on the ballot, vs. 4 months. My previous post should not be read as an endorsement of the "3 Months" party. Equally, this post should not be read as an endorsement of the "6 Months" party.
All posts should be read as an endorsement of "Monkey".

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Tom-- I sort of agree with you about the forming of the ballot with the campaigning-- except if we didn't do this, we would never get to voting. Please believe me on this!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The closed discussion period should be:
1) 6 hours
2) 6 months
3) 6 monkeys
