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 think we should see how the votes play out and possibly have a revote.

By revote, you mean runoff? You should state that in the ballot. e.g., "If no one choice receives at least 50% of the vote, then we will have a runoff vote between the two options with the most votes."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sure. I would suggest it, but I'd like to hear from the people who this thread most affects to see what the preference would be. I can amend the suggested ballot to reflect this but if people want more discussion, etc. that's okay with me too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Instant discussion? That would be quite a feat.

Or are you, perhaps, referring to another goal of LeN's?

okay, I do not understand how that link is relevant to the current discussion. what am I missing?

Sorry, LeN. A way to instantly decide a run-off is the driving force behind certain voting schemes (as described in the link). There is a running joke on the board about people's reluctance to open that particular can of worms, again.

Do you mean (highlight at your own risk) preferential voting ?
