I'm for six months, I think, although I could be seduced to three.
(And I'm slightly horrified by the sight of Sean doing the Jesus impression, and not because I have any residual Christian sense for the sacrilegious. But, yo... that's just me.)
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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!

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Was there a decision on whether something could be anti-seconded?
I'm also for not-a-year.

I'm also in favor of saying that all pre-voting decisions stand, period.

Not javachik
This wasn't proposed, but what about 3 months and 4 months? One allows the possibility 4x/year and the other 3x/year. 2x/year? Given how much happens here in 6 months, it seems long.

Monkey = 12!
I'm 200 posts behind in Bureaucracy so I should probably shut up but is there context for this? Because I keep thinking of 12 Monkeys.
3 and 6 is my preference as well.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Jon, Go Monkey Choose Monkey... since 3 or 6 are the RIGHT choices, then the WRONG choice must therefore be 12, ergo Monkey.
It was a silly joke, I made it. I confess.

After a proposal, discussion and vote, further discussion on this matter should be closed for:
3 months 6 months 1 year
Question: If a proposal doesn't get the requisite number of seconds, does that also get sent to been-there-done-that-hell for 3 or 6 or 12 months? Or does the blackout period only apply to proposals that make it to this thread. The ballot question on Seconds implied the former, but it wasn't clear.
t edit but... but... "Monkey" is always the right choice!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Question: If a proposal doesn't get the requisite number of seconds, does that also get sent to been-there-done-that-hell for 3 or 6 or 12 months?
I think it should, but that raises the sticky question of how long a proposal is considered "live" for seconding before it gets put on the closed list. Since the whole voting thing was started to avoid decisions being made by "whoever's in the thread at the time."
