Jesse I am 100% certain. Really. Ok now I have to look it up.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

If less than 42 people vote, then the issue is not considered closed, and the moratorium does not apply. Otherwise, what's the point of having a minimum voter turnout?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia, my first inclination was what you said, and then I started to mind-fuck it. And of course, what Jess said.
This is why I should stop posting.

If I only had a brain...
So just to get this straight, this new regime is going to feature military levels of discipline, which will be administered by ita, and will involve a lot of people being thrown up against walls?
We're gonna need a biiiiiiiiiig wall. IJS.
As the proposer of the Grandfather-Got-His-Head-Bashed-With-A-Ball-Peen-Hammer proposal, I can assure you that, should it fail through lack of interest, its name will never pass my fingertips again.

Language nitpick: IIRC, it should be "fewer" than 42, not less than. Votes are discrete, countable things.

You're right. That is a nitpick.

Whereas voters? Some aren't even discreet.

Do we have anything in the Text? NUUUTTTTYYYYY!!!!
Hey. No, we never discussed this, that I could find. I am happy with Betsy's assertion that if this vote in particular does not get a minimum voter turnout, she (for one) will not try it again. And anyway, it's the sort of proposal that is only useful the once; the whole issue will be 100% moot by September.
(Anything to get it done, right?)

Nutty's document is a work of art. I hope to get the draft posted somewhere by the end of the week.
