We could have voting via short essay.

Oh who the hell am I kidding, that never closes.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I don't think Mr. Poll offers that option.

I'm getting the pig!
There were four cities in the final vote, but there was a fair amount of narrowing of cities before that.
Ok. I'm just sayin' that if we had four cities this time, I'd be all for extreme voting - Check here / initial here / promise you'll come / cancellations require a note from a doctor, etc. EXTREME voting!
But with two cities, we aren't branching out in so many directions. We have two choices. I (personally) think we could even just vote YES or NO on this one. (Voting NO doesn't mean someone can't attend if the other city wins. It's just stating a preference.)
Edit - But I'm also fine with the four ways of saying YES or NO option. Just so we're clear.

Ann, that's a ferret.
There were four cities in the final vote, but there was a fair amount of narrowing of cities before that.
There were two rounds of voting. The first narrowed the choices from 6 to 4, and the second round produced one winner.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I really strongly oppose a straight "which one" vote. More people may prefer one, but be able to attend the other, while people who prefer the other can't attend the winner.

I'm extremely confused as to why people would vote for a city just because they preferred it but couldn't attend the F2F there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the goal is to capture the difference between "Prefer to go to SF, can make Seattle" and "Can't afford Seattle, can we do SF?"

I don't think she meant "Vote for one but only be able to attend the other," just "vote for one but also be able to attend the other." I think.

Buffistas do many things which confuse me.

Once again, too slow on the post.
