Sophia, since you're short on time, I'd say go ahead and word the ballot however you want it, and Jon can make up the form based on that.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Jon, I had stated my reasons before. My reasons haven't changed.
Well, I'd forgotten them. I'm sorry. No need for the asscaps. Reference an old post or something.
Because if an act will offend people, it's better not to do it.
And, theoretically speaking, if it offends an equal number of people not to do it? What then?
Don't bother answering that. I already said I liked Cindy's ballot (though I'm still not sure what we'll do with the results of the second question).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Um, sure, why not. I think that's a viable option. It can be pretty well instantaneous as soon as thre results come in, if it's necesary, because we've seen what trying to argue about the virtues of integers did to this thread!!
Whatever you think is simplest/works best, Sophia.

I have about ten minutes to spend here, but it seems like we can't do anything until Jon makes a new ballot.
Oh, yeah, that. I don't think I can do it while at work. Certainly not before noon. Can we close discussion at noon but not start the voting until this evening?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't think I can get a proposal together before 3 pm, so....

Eh, Kat speaks for me, basically. And the ass caps were simply my I'M TYPING IN THE DARK AND FUCKING UP QUICK EDIT notation for BOLD, which I did mention. (my keyboard tray is half under my desk, and at night, typing with the lights out means guessing where my fingers are and retyping half of what I say, because gakd (half) the time I'm typing and not looking at what I'm doing and realize my fingers are on the wrong keys at the last minute.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay!
There is consensus.

It is for information gathering purposes only. If six months gets shot down, yet we still want to have a moratorium (and God - I think we will), whomever makes a new try at a moratorium proposal will have a clear picture of what time limit most people want, and hopefully, a proposal can be drafted that represents what most people want.
We think six, three and four are most favored among Buffistas, because they are the numbers that about 20 of us have thrown out. But what if everyone who doesn't come here but does vote, thinks 7 is the one true number? This just lets us check the pulse of the folks who hate six, if and only if 6 fails.
