SA, you may want to add "no preference" as an option. You don't have to, but we generally do.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

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!

What does "night of" mean? Midnight board time? What if no option under part 3 gets over 50% of the vote? Runoff?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think we went with simple majority before. Is that sort of judgement up to the proposer?

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
PREFERENTIAL VOTING!
And popcorn!
