Congratulations to all on the debate. At no time did anyone resort to hurling the epithet 'sixist'. Very civilized.
Gus, you tempter. Shame. Now I must. And it's all on your head!
SIXIST
There, I feel much better now.
FWIW, I don't give a patootie about how we decide this ballot, mostly because I think it's a forgone (foregone?) conclusion that we'll end up with six, which is a horrible number and will cause us all to bleed from the eyeballs. Don't post that I didn't warn you, because I won't be able to see, what with the aforementioned bleeding from the eyeballs.
Laura, we're about to vote on how long of a moratorium on discussion there should be following a vote. Right now it looks like 6, 4, and 3 months will be the choices, but we're still stuck on PV or sequential run-offs if necessary.
Next up will be a vote on whether the moratorium applies automatically to any decisions made before we instituted voting.
Voting on the first one is slated to start at midnight tonight.
Plus - we're all gonna bleed out from the eyeballs.
But Cindy, we'll be able to revisit it in six months, if you want to.
I don't like eyeball-bleeding. I'm gonna take a stand and say it's not good.

So before midnight we decide on the method of voting on a choice of 6,4 or 3 months. I suppose I can suck and skim for empassioned arguments for each time period and the method of deciding same. I don't really have to read almost 1200 messages to get the major points, right?
How about we decide each time we have a vote how long before we discuss it again? BWAHAHAHAHA
Sixists, Threeps and Fourmongers. Why can't we all get along?
I still don't see anyone really against doing an instant runoff (i.e. prfffmmmmng), so I went ahead and coded up a ballot. It's a dummy ballot. The "Send" button won't work until midnight. Comments on content?
Yeah, maybe put at the bottom a feedback question. Did you understand this ballot yes/no/don't care?
Yes/No isn't very useful. If folks have questions, they can ask about it here or in Bureaucracy.
