If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, this is the original proposal:

"That major casting spoilers (to the main cast only, not recurring or guest), which are being advertised by Fox, the WB or ME in press advertising or their official website, are no longer spoilers, and should be discussed in the show threads. This includes cast additions or departures. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the opening credits."

This is Kristen's revision, modified by Nutty:

"That major casting spoilers (to the main cast only, not recurring or guest), which are being advertised by Fox or the WB at their annual upfront presentation to advertisers, are no longer considered spoilers and may be discussed, within their respective show threads only . This only includes cast additions or departures that occur over summer hiatus only (not midseason) . Any plot points related to the character's (not the actor's) arrival or departure are to be treated as spoilers. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the opening credits."

And Cindy's suggestion was to build in some amount of time after the season finale before the next season stuff was free for discussion, to make sure that end of season talk doesn't get curtailed.

There's some really key differences.

Well, here is where we're discussing modifying the ballot if Jim doesn't come back.

Three weeks? Four?

I don't think we've figured that out yet. Finale is usually end of May? Would July 1 be too long?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Lets make any reasonable conccessions to the virgins we can. Four. Because if we are going to wait three, one more week is no big deal.

Really, whichever community gets booted out of the series thread should get a patch of board to call it's own.

I really think this needs to be it's own proposal, all by itself. I really dislike the idea of attatching a rider to something around here.

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

I agree. Let's keep each proposal as simple as possible.

This is a separate issue, and thread creation requires a separate proposal, discussion and vote.

We're already editing it, Sean.

If Jim were here (and should he show up) I'd be asking him to do it.
