Java - If you vote yes, you're also agreeing that we'll revisit in three months to take a vote of confidence on this decision (only), to see if we think 6 months is too long, too short, or just right.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, do we count early votes, or do we make people vote again?
(As long as nothing changes in the ballot, I'd say keep them.)

From this ballt Jesse? I would say keep them unless the person votes twice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Per Sophia:
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
It is time for one of the last procedural votes.
When we first started this discussion, we really wanted to be able to have a way to not talk about the same issue over and over and over... Here we have one.
*** Please note that this ballot consists of one VOTE and one question which is intended to act as a SURVEY to help craft a ballot with a different number if the vote does not pass.***

SURVEY
If, and only if, you voted "no" on question one , please choose a number between 1 month and twelve months to define what you think is the appropriate length of time to close discussions.
