remember when we couldn't talk about low carb diets in Natter. This is what preferential voting feels like to me...
Night all!
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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!

Oh-- not good night!
Heather-- I completely see where you are coming from. I think if consensus isn't reached, someone else will have to post the announcement (and actually, if it is at noon someone will anyway because I am in a meeting) because I am not willing right now to take it upon myself when things don't seem agreed upon.
My instinct say that a run-off and never again talking about pref ballots is the answer right now, because unless the no-pref people object to a run-off, the only thing the pref ballot does is save potential wasted time polling twice. So pro-pref people will get the same result with a run-off.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I don't know Heather. I'm hoping that by tomorrow enough (maybe new?) people will come and have their say so that there's a clear mandate, and, maybe, if that doesn't happen, and this is just too sore a spot for people we love and care about, we can just let PV drop for awhile? I hate to say that, because I know it's a sore spot for those who like it, too, but I think those who want to do things in a new way might need to decide if the old needs to be fixed to the extent that others are alienated because of it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yes, Billy, it's true, 6 is a haughty number, but it's because she's had so much responsibility so young, and handles it with grace. I don't think she'd be rude to 4 though. She'd probably buy a match.
Oh, don't tell me that, I was all set to vote for 6 and now I'm wondering if it's really just a big softy that'll wimp out at the first sign of dissent. Our voting system needs discipline, dammit!

Or, you know, what Sophia said.

Oh, well, if you want discipline, you really need 9 then. 9 is all about the discipline. I've heard 9 wears a little flat leather cap and carries a riding crop.

I agree with you too. I'm in the pref's fine by me, but so's runoff. So, y'know, whatever gets us through the night.
I am sorry that you had to make an uncomfortable decision, and glad that you take other people's concerns into account.

9 used to be my favorite number. She was going to go out with 8, but 7 was a manipulative little bitch about it.

Oh well, that's because 7 is a loner and doesn't like it when others might be happy. Obviously, I'm not the only one who can see their personalities so clearly.

Pfft. 9's a petty official at Athens airport. Fancy uniform, but no one ever takes any notice of it. It's running around all over, barking orders, but everyone's still lighting up under the 'Smoking Prohibited' signs and failing to form orderly queues. And you know the others are all whispering 'square' behind its back.
Vote perfection. Vote discipline. Vote just a teeny touch of eeevil. Vote 6.
