I move Tom be voted benevolent dictator. He can declare national holidays, and we can make him wear a cape and sit in a convertible for endless parades.
No problem with closing the LOTR thread, however.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The point of having a set debate period is not just for the people who've already shown up, but to give the less regular amongst us a chance to realise there's a discussion happening--
In case I wasn't clear above, I wasn't advocating ending the debate, I was advocating keeping the thread open for the full period even though there isn't much debate going on.

Here, I'll stick in my two cents worth. Close the thread. It will be one less that I have to ignore whenever I go to the main page to reset my subscribed threads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sorry Burrell. I got confused because yours was the first mention I recalled mentioning ending (or not) the discussion.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have always thought the word 'dictator' sounded dirty.
Long before I was a Porny Pants.

What color shirt would Tom make us wear as dictator? That will be the deciding factor for me.
