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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I understand this concern, but have we actually seen this happen in any existing threads? I'm not challenging the statement -- I'm honestly curious.
It happened with Firefly, and again (to a lesser extent) with Wonderfalls/Minearverse.
And it's likely to happen with Dollhouse, too.
But I think amych makes a good point that, when it comes to non-Joss/non-Tim stuff like a gaming thread, or an I Like Cats thread, etc., it probably won't bring in new people who join only to participate in those threads.

MM, does your proposal want to address a spoiler policy? I seem to recall that being a concern?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hrm. Yeah, I guess...
...what was the concern again? Spoilers for VGs?

No idea. I remember being surprised that there were spoiler issues, that's why I remember it, I think. As a spoiler nazi, I must speak up for the spoiler averse, wherever they are.

Final Final Wording:
I propose the creation of a Gaming Thread (clever title to come later), in which people could discuss games: board, LARP, MMORPG, video, tabletop RPG, game theory etc. etc. and all attendant news, developments and ancillary subjects thereof. All would be welcome to chime in, talk about their favorite games or learn about gaming of any sort. This thread could also be used for coordinating/scheduling games either online or IRL and could serve as a cooperative resource for people playing games.
PLEASE TO WHITEFONT SPOILERS for video games, RPG modules or anything for which foreknowledge of events might lessen one's enjoyment of whatever gaming experience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think in the past, spoiler policies have sometimes been hashed out at the start of a thread, no?

Ann, that's a ferret.
It happened with Firefly, and again (to a lesser extent) with Wonderfalls/Minearverse.
My impression is that a fair number of people popped up in the general conversation threads. But I didn't/don't participate in either thread, so I don't know how many new posters expanded their horizons and how many stuck to their original thread.

That's what I thought, too, but what the hell you know?

Oh, for sure -- especially if it doesn't need to be super-intricate like the Movies thread one.
