I think it's possible that Wolfram is out of town and away from a computer all this week, which is a bummer, but there's never going to be a time period where every single person can vote. And it's not like Passover by itself keeps you off the computer -- it's the staying with family part that does it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What is even happening?
Passover's over, AFAIK, and voting is still open.
It started Monday night and is 8 days outside of Israel (7 within). The first two and last two days (outside Israel) are the big days on which no work is permitted.
Oh, and part two of the thing about the voting is, that's why the whole discussion and voting process takes a week: even if you're gone for the actual days of voting, you may have a chance to make your point in Lightbulbs, or vice versa.
Okay, I couldn't remember. I have this dim memory of us delaying a ballot for someone, for something, but no specifics. I could just be remembering someone's hypothetical.

Oh yeah, please note I know next to nothing about actual observations of Jewish holidays.

Where is the link to the ballot? Is voting closed now?

What is even happening?
I only know a little, and mostly because some Buffista, long ago, linked me to [link]
I also asked, because Hil (I think) asked about the timing of the vote in lightbulb, but I don't know if it ever got addressed. Still, I can see your point. We all can't be here for everything.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Voting closes tomorrow evening.
Which is a full day after the end of the second day of Passover. I don't see a problem.

Our wings are not tired.
Gah! All these people changing their names! Chaos! Confusion! Brain hurt!
I am with ya on this MarvelMan, particulary since my mind does the translate thing on posters that I know with a different name.
I don't have any issue with the name list. It seems an interesting read. It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I take my stand now: I will always ALWAYS be Miracleman!
It's not like your secret identity is, ya know, very secret...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.
If, say, we had a bunch of celeb signups, would we be well served by listing them publicly? I don't feel so. I don't think the up side is significant at all.
