'The Message'


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!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No, no, Cindy. "Female Superheroes of Artificial Nature is too specific at this point. We can do "Superheroes of artificial nature" or "Female Superheroes", but, really, is the genre popular enough in that specific?

Now, "Females with special powers who fight people who are sort of like them, only Eeeeeevil", that requires a thread.

I shan't be seeing the rest of VM until the DVDs come out. However, I can't guarantee it will be within the first month.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Seriously, is anyone planning to discuss after the DVDs come out?

Not me-- I already discussed the season. Firefly, I could see it. VM, nsm.

So Debet, are you saying you're on Team Clear-Bright-Line-But-No-Bold-Font-Please?

edit,

le nubian, I didn't mean to ignore your on-topic comments. I just figure when I post a link to cheesecake shots of Piz, including a bare tush shot, and not one Buffista comments? The thread is dead. The vote will decide it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

(shrug) maybe. I just think it might be nice to close the thread after the DVDs. I'm not quite sure what the rush is.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, we need clear bright lines, but, really, how can we have cross-pollination with such narrow categories? t puts hands on hips I mean, really, "vampire shows" is too narrow. It is clearly far more sensible and will create a more vibrant community if we do "immortal shows": "supernatural entities shows", though, man, that's just so big...

Gotta say, that standard of deadness is very Buffista-ish.

I mean, really, "vampire shows" is too narrow.

maybe we should make an "UnDead American shows" thread because it seems like we're going to have quite a few "immortal" shows to watch in the fall.

p.s. i'm with le nubian about the VM thread. if we're definitively going to have a Network Drama thread, i don't have a problem closing the VM one, but if not what's the rush? when the dvds come out, it would be nice to know i could pop in somewhere and talk about the extras and such without getting lost amidst all the other talk in Natter(which i very rarely venture into because i just can't keep up).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not for long, we won't, if the couple of pilots I've seen are any indication.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Snerk. Indeed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If we vote not to close the thread on this ballot, it can't be proposed again for 6 months, is that right? Just to make sure I know what's what.

-t, that's right.

  • If we vote to close it now, it will close now.
  • If we vote to close it a month after the DVDs are released, and the DVDs are released on schedule, we will be closing the thread around November 23.
  • If we vote against closing the thread, we can't talk about it for 6 months, which brings us to around the first of the year (or about 6 weeks after November 23).

i'm with le nubian about the VM thread. if we're definitively going to have a Network Drama thread, i don't have a problem closing the VM one, but if not what's the rush?

It's not a rush, per se. I'm just of the rip-off-the-bandage school of thought. Also, I'd rather have open threads for shows that are on the air, than keep old threads open out of nostalgia, or just in case conversation bubbles up.

Personally, it's easier for me to vote in favor of new threads if we don't have half dead threads lying around. If Rob makes a deal with D.C., we'll be able to discuss the comic books in our comics thread. If he makes a film, we'll be able to discuss it in our film thread.
