'Bring On The Night'

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!

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

From my perspective, I do expect discussion and justification for thread creation, even if I don't *enjoy* the discussion. I believe the process should take effort and commitment, and creation of a new thread should be won. It has more value, I think, if it's won. But I could be wrong. I'm often wrong. This wouldn't be the first time.

I think making changes should be doable and difficult. It's a good way to govern.

It's a pain in the ass that its hard, but its a good pain.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

points up at ND's post and nods. Yup. That's me. Well, except the finding the love of my life. Still searching for that. If she's a Buffista, sweet!

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

Oh lord, did you really just say that?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If you were ever at all interested to talk gaming with me, I WANT TO! But *I* need a cordoned off space on the board to do it.

And, if I am ever going to be involved in the conversation, it can't be in a separate space. It's not that I won't want to be there, I just don't have the time. I skip in most of the threads that I actually consider myself active in already.

We have the Suck feature and I use it. I grab the thread, vanity search to look for anything brought to my attention (thus enabling conversations in a fast-moving thread) or addressed to me, read the last however many posts I have time for and then jump into the talk or wait until the waters suit me better.

Splitting the gaming (because this is the topic currently) conversation off from some of the main threads means that I will never see it. And currently? Yes, I might miss it. But I might catch it and get caught up in a fascinating conversation I hadn't planned or expected.

It's not ideal, no. But I don't prefer the alternative. And I am just one vote.

Are you suggesting different phrasing? Perhapse we should try it the other way?

It's a time-saving device. Sometimes girls use those. It's just easier.
