'Unleashed'
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!
Sorry, I misinterpreted myself for a poll--at first I was thinking a poll to decide how long to table discussion, with added parts for when discussion is re-opened, how long it should take place, but it should have only been the second part but not the first. Either way August 11 is fine with me, though I do think there out to be a poll to set parameters of the upcoming discussion.
Now I feel like I'm chasing my own tail. I would imagine it's far cuter when Ruthven does it.
Forgive the Natter to note that SA's tail is quite cute.
This discussion has been tabled until August 11th, per the proposer's request. This thread is now closing.
The previous proposal is now resuming, as of August 11th.
So connie, I know you're keen on pushing ahead with the vote but I'm just going to ask that you hold off until we get the poll results.
My vote will depend on what we glean from the poll.
I ask in part because I think it would suck to have to put this question off for six months if we find out that there's a strong majority of people who just want to create single show threads.
When will we get the poll results?
I'm just going to ask that you hold off until we get the poll results.
And how long after you get the poll results will you want to wait to analyze the information? How long is enough time to mull then?
I want something in place before the beginning of the season, if this passes. What's the general date of the premieres?
Seems like many things are starting the week of September 22nd.
The Futon Critic has a fall schedule grid with season premiere dates.
I'm opening to a postponement of the resolution if there's a definitive timeline. When are the poll results due? Will the discussion of the results happen here or in Bureaucracy?
I'm honestly expecting the poll to come down to "well, I don't really mind which way we go," with a smaller subsection of "if we do it this way, things improve/go to hell", which pretty much matches what I've seen in the world.
I don't want to pre-discuss the results, but I'd like people to consider if their preferences are actually going to change depending on what that poll says.
I'd like something decided one way or another before mid September, if that's when premieres begin. House and Bones (my personal concerns--and on the same night, woot!) are coming out on Sept. 17.
