Rayne - did you have a Schmuck Bait Arms thread or folder at josswhedon.net, or am I combining a bunch of incomplete memories?

I used to have a Writer's Corner board that Kristen kindly hosted for me - off of that, there's was a Schmuck Bait Watch. Schmuck Bait Arms was an old Angel thread at WX (I think). You might say I'm a tad Schmuck Bait addicted.

Thanks for restoring what passes for my memory. I lurked a lot at the writers corner. I loved jw.net.

I think given all the other stuff going on, we need to make Allyson choose the Tim thread title.
And we have a little problem. Jim still has not shown up - which means no opportunity for him change the wording. And he kinda pre-empted Plei, who was planning to adapt. And I'm getting really worried about Jim - because to propose something like this and then disappear for days - not like him.

I think he was just away on the weekend, and probably has work to deal with this morning. Plus 1,000 posts in Lightbulb.

Has Jim been around during other voting discussions? He may not realize that there's more for him to do.

I agree it is odd that Jim hasn't been back. One option would be to give him until a certain time (say, 5 p.m. board time) and then allow someone else to make modifications based on our discussion and submit a final proposal for a vote.
(I understand that goes against our policies, but it seems less painful for all concerned than waiting indefinitely. Besides, we probably eventually will have a situation where someone makes a proposal and has to go away before the vote, and it'd be nice to have a precedent.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jim's often away from the board for days at a time, Typo. I wouldn't worry too much about him.
There are no next steps until he gets back, is all.

X-post.

Huh. That seems kind of silly to me, to rest the vote on one person, when there are so many reasons someone could have for taking days or weeks off or even leaving forever. I'd like to discuss work-arounds and alternatives.
I understand our policy is pretty clear about the role of the proposer -- I just have this vision where we discuss something, it's ready for a vote, and then the proposer loses net access and the vote is left hanging for all eternity.
