Oh good! I just don't want us to get locked in so I thought I would bring it up.
Does anyone else have any comments on my short "how to vote?" Do we think it should go up somewhere handy or wait for the full version/history that Nutty is working on?
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sophia, I'll incorporate it into the larger. Like, "Here is what we do. Here is a checklist of what to do, in order." Like on (good) graduate applications: they do it in prose, and then they do it in a bulleted list, just to make sure everyone can find the details easily.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Obviously coming in late to the party, but this comment seems more appropriate for here than for the formal discussion.
Am I the only one who is surprise to see so many of the Official Seconds coming from people who claim to be against the proposal? I hope that they won't be disappointed when/if it gets voted in, given that so far we have voted in every single proposal that has been raised. I am assuming that this one will be voted in as well. If it were me, if I were against a proposal I would not be so generous as to Second it. I guess that makes me officially a less generous person.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I take it you haven't been over to the discussion thread. There seems very little chance of that.

Burrell, read the recent posts in Lightbulb. This one is not getting voted in, and recently there's discussion about whether the proposer can truncate the procedure if he so chooses and what effect that would have on the issue.

No, you're right. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I won't be able to read it until tomorrow probably. This is one issue I won't be joining in on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not at all. If something came up that I wanted off the table, seconding it is a good way to get it closer to a moratorium.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Burrell, not to worry. I'm getting shellacked in there. It would've been a blessing not to have gotten the seconds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, and also, I'd rather see the processing in the Light Bulb thread than in here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
And see if I didn't want a proposal to pass or be discussed I wouldn't comment on it at all. I would hope it would just die.
