Sophia, I think you should go to bed and then we should decide, somehow, by noon tomorrow, and post it at noon. Sure, that's not what we voted, but obviously, we haven't yet decided, despite the arbitrary number of days -- so maybe that's something about the last vote that isn't going to work as we'd hoped.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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 feel for you doll.
Perhaps we can ask for any last words on it?

or midnight, I'm cool with that. If people want to know why it's not up, they'll come here and find me being a bossy pants. (Though I hope they don't think that.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
OK-- I was just going to make an executive decision to post in Press that there would not be a vote tonight and go to bed.
So I am glad to hear my instincts were on...

I don't think you're being bossy Deena. And, I think it's nice and curteous that you think we should wait until people feel better about the ballot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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).
Fair enough. I'm good with that.
Do you think the whole thing should go in the Press, and more importantly, do you think we should wait?
I think if we've voted on these time limits, we should probably stick to them. I can't really point to much of a mandate in how to present this particular vote (well, I guess we do have an old-style consensus level, but I don't know how to treat that now), but there is at least a mandate to get things moving on time. But I recognise this is hardly a perfect way forward either, and I don't think it'll be a serious problem if there's a delay.
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.
Yeah. Right now I'm just hoping one option gets over half the primary vote, and it all turns out to be a non-issue this time round.

Our wings are not tired.
Nonetheless, I don't think we can go forward with the ballot quite yet with this kind of disagreement. So sit on it until tomorrow night Sophia, I think.
This sounds good. Not end of world to wait. Sleep tight Sophia.

Billytea, I loved your description of the signs and whatnot. It's almost as good as anthropomorphized numbers! Oh, who am I kidding? It's better.

'Night Sophia, sleep well.
Edited to point out that I got the best number, because the 4 is a kind and gentle soul who cares for everyone and keeps a red cape in his backpack just in case of emergencies.
Which is not to say that 4 is the one true number. No, I think 6 is more capable of handling the political responsibilities of the position.

Woof. Radical interpretation of the text. What's your reasoning seems like a fair way of asking how you're thinking about it.
No.
Not at all. It's not at all a radical interpretation of the text.
What's your reasoning sounds like "you are WRONG, Fucker! Justify your piss-ass self!"
Pardon the ASSCAPS!
I have been too lazy to use the quick edits tonight, so have been ASSCAPPING instead.
I have already stated a hundred times (HYPERBOLE!) my objections to ANY use of JUST THIS ONCE. I don't feel like I have to do so AGAIN.
Because fuck, man, I've done that already. (Also, sorry it was last minute, I've been slammed at work and was gone most of the weekend.)
