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.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Y'know, I think I'm going to have to go with the mostly math-free option here. Anything other than an integral number of months will just get confusing.

I'm with four month, rather than three as the alternative.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I woulda pushed for 12. I would like to point out that although the Phoenix may be six months old, the original TT topic dates back six years. But I'm late to the party, so carry on.
I see 3 months as a more logical division of the year than 4, and so would put it on the ballot. I would still vote for the highest number, though, personally.
