Well, except Jesse and I both changed to "we just want the talking to stop...." ; )
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.
'Out Of Gas'
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!

Laura also said no. Me, I really am ok with it, but I'm not sure my opinion is strong enough to be for it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hi Sophia. I'm still getting the following text in the bit about the second choice:
Please provide a second choice, should your first choice receive the least number of votes. This second choice will only be used if no first choice receives more than 50% of the votes. It will be used to resort the ballots of those whose first choice received the least number of votes. If you voted for one of the top two vote getters, your second choice will be ignored. It's like having an instant runoff.
As Jon has noted, I'm in favour of trying it out this time round; but I think you're wanting to avoid reference to PV or runoffs?

OK-- there are 6 minutes left until I am supposed to post this puppy.
Can someone else weigh in on whether or not to do so? I am really torn.

billy-- I think the announcement in Press doesn't have to include the text of the ballow. Those are ballot instructions. (Jon is doing ballot, I am doing the announcement).
Do you think the whole thing should go in the Press, and more importantly, do you think we should wait?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Fuck it. I'm going to bed. I'm really pissed that two people came on here at the last minute with ass-cap objections and won't even say why. I don't have time to redo the ballot. If you don't want to do preferential voting, don't pick a second choice. It'll submit either way. Good night.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Sophia, I wouldn't post it until a majority of, at least recent, posters come and tell you to do so. If it doesn't go up, the world doesn't stop turning. I'm not telling you to because I just caught up and I don't like the rancorous feeling I'm getting.
I don't mind trying PV, but I also don't want to alienate people who hate it for whatever reason. It's not worth that.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm with you Deena on that last part. It's just... didn't we say that we would have a discussion for so many days and then voting would start?

Yes Heather-- tis is what I am torn about.
I feel like by posting I am making an executive decision to do it this way that I have no right to.
By not posting, I feel like I am a) going back on what we said we would do and my word to post it.
Also, I really need to go to bed.

Yes, we did, but I'm not seeing a bunch of people dashing in here saying, "Where's the ballot? I want it now! Let's vote PV!" Or "Let's have a runoff!"
So, who made Sophia carry the world, erm, phoenix? That's too much responsibility for something that has people fractious already.
