What are our options along these lines?

I'm happy to set something up on b.org, but it would require someone to hand count the ballots.

Jess, will you share your cilantro, yogurt and tomatoes with me? We can add some cukes and make an interesting variation on a Greek salad.

Ooh, nummy.

ND, I can set up a Mr Poll. There are a few options for getting people to choose their top two cities out of four. The simplest is to just trust people to only pick two, and use checkboxes (the system will LET people choose as many as they want, but we'll tell people to pick their favorite two). We can also set up a radio button poll with two questions, and have people select one city from each list. (The potential problem here is that people will be able to select the same city from both lists, essentially voting twice. But again, I think we should/can trust people not to cheat.) The other option would be to have pull-down menus for each city with "First choice" and "second choice" as options. (It would also be possible to cheat on this poll. Blah blah trustcakes.)

So it's up to you. Tell me what to do, and I'll make it happen.

Does the one Jess uses - Mr. Poll - handle first/second choice voting?

edit: total xpost, of course.

Oh! I could also set up a drop-down menu poll with "First Choice" and "Second Choice" as the questions, and the four cities as options. This wouldn't prevent people from selecting the same city twice, but it might be the least cumbersome option.

That seems like the best method to me.

(Also, I was reading too fast. Obviously, there will be more than 4 cities to choose from, or choosing the top 4 contenders would be pretty silly.)

-t, if you want to takeover, or help with the NO stuff, I'd welcome it. Also, the Riverfront streetcar seemed wheelchair accessable (or at least it had the strappy things to tie it in, and I imagine they get up there somehow). Last I rode the St. Charles, it was not. If you want to e-mail me the profile is good.

Olive hate? I can barely conceive of such a thing.

Kicking the olives off a muffaletta negates the point of the muffaletta.

All you martini drinkers (looks pointedly at Kate and Katerina) need to join JZ and me at the Persian Aub Zam Zam room immediately.

Erin, a martini with tonic or cranberry is not a martini but some other (no doubt tasty) drink. Still, not a martini.

With Hec on the martini thing (mine's Bombay Sapphire, glass coated with Nolly Pratt dry, squirt of olive juice, shaken over ice with almond stuffed olives).

I love olives passionately (particularly kalamata olives), but I don't understand why anyone would ruin a perfectly good olive by putting it in a glass of nasty gin. Gin is of the devil.
