Spike ,'Get It Done'
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!
Probable final proposal:
Part one:
Do you want a non-fiction thread, which would encompass the same shows as the Experimental Non-fiction thread, namely reality television (The Amazing Race, Survivor, Top Chef), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Mythbustes, Ghost Hunters)?
yes, no
Part two:
Do you want this thread to have whitefronted discussion?
yes, no
Part three:
If yes to to whitefront, how long?
Night of, 24 hours, 72 hours
SA, you may want to add "no preference" as an option. You don't have to, but we generally do.
What does "night of" mean? Midnight board time? What if no option under part 3 gets over 50% of the vote? Runoff?
What if no option under part 3 gets over 50% of the vote? Runoff?
I think we went with simple majority before. Is that sort of judgement up to the proposer?
I think we went with simple majority before.
No we haven't. Not that I can remember, anyway. Here's why it's unfair:
Sample result:
30% - Night of
29% - 24 hours
41% - 72 hours
With a "simple majority", or plurality, 72 hours wins, even though 59% of the voters wanted the period to be 24 hours or less.
Yeah, my memory doesn't go beyond the most recent vote.
Did we want to make an option for just the names of winners/those voted off as a whitefont option? I think that was mentioned in this discussion.
winners/those voted off
Contest show results?
I was the one who brought it up, and I think I was swayed by the arguments that it would be too complicated in practice.
What if no option under part 3 gets over 50% of the vote? Runoff?
PREFERENTIAL VOTING!
