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!

"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."
That's the problem. You let monkeys onto the ballot and suddenly everybody goes monkey-crazy!
Oh, they're so cute! Oh, they're so helpful! Oh, they're so funny!
Before you know it, the board has been renamed "Monkey", all the threads are called "Monkey", everybody has to post under Monkey-related names, like "Monkey-Luvva" and we're only allowed to discuss Mutant Enemy shows that have monkeys in them.
Well, I say that monkeys are just a bunch of poop flinging trouble makers.

If I only had a brain...
Not only that, they masturbate in public.
Hence the need for monkey pants.

Nobody's suggested a free-number entry system so we can end up with four point two months or something? I'm not really advocating it, I'm just asking. I don't think people really hated 42, even the Fifty Faction.

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

MATH!! MATH!!! Don't make me diss Halle.

I did, having voted whatever the minimum was.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
BTW, as a point of clarification: Are we talking about 3 (or 6, or 4, or whatever) months, or 90 (or 180, or 120) days? Just so that there is no confusion. 3 months could be as few as 88 days, or as many as 92.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'd say months. So, for instance, if we decide not to do something on May 1st and we decide on three months, the discussion could be reopened on August 1st.
Makes the math a lot easier, says the girl who has to give compliance deadlines in days and is tired of counting.

Katie: I agree, I just wanted it to be clear.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
42 people is a lot easier to count than 4.2 months, though. To make this as math-free as possible, I think it should be a simple choice between 6 months and whatever the second, inferior choice ends up being.
