Abstentions don't count for anything other than quorum. So if there are two yeas, one nay, and ninety-two abstentions, the yeas win. (I think, anyway.)
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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!

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

As an aside on the Boxed Set thread, I had to unsubscribe because I was only in there for snarky SV talk and it had become very few and far between with all the other stuff. It's a really minor loss to me, though.

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

I wouldn't blame the other stuff, though.
I'd blame SV. I can't get emotional about it anymore, even to snark.

I'm still planning to vote for the thread. I think a trial run at it is a good idea.

That is correct.

OK, Do I remember correctly that Sean volunteered to count votes? If so, ita needs to set up the mail forwarding. ita -- once Sean confirms, can you set it up ASAP so that we can test it out before voting starts? IIRC, we had trouble with that during the last vote.
Aimée -- What time would you like voting to start tomorrow? If you want to start voting during the day tomorrow, I'd like to have the final ballot text tonight because I can't guarantee that I'll be able to work on this while I'm at my job. If you don't want voting to start until the evening, then you can get the final text to me anytime tomorrow.

Assuming the profile address is okay, votes are pointing to Sean.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I'm not sure Aimee will be able to give you the vote text tonight. Her plane gets in at 9, we'll be home 9:30-9:45. But I'm sure she'll have it for you early tomorrow.

And yes, I volunteered to count votes. So by all means, fire away.
