REGIONS VOTE

1 D
2 F
3 C
4 E
5 A
6 G
-eternal B (only three voters in one of the regions)

[minionofmidas]

Damn you! What do these other maps have that mine doesn't?

Yours is more balanced then others

At least it's more balanced than a certain other proposal.
And yes, Al, your vote's invalid. We explicitly stated at least three preferences (although I don't see why)
And we aren't awarding points, we're going by Single Transferable Vote.

[minionofmidas]

So, specify which two plans you'd use, call it option H and make it your first preference.

[minionofmidas]

In First Preference votes, there are (with about 32 hours on the clock)
6 D
5 E
1 A
1 F
1 G
(Ignoring Al's vote)
That's not a majority, so those three with one vote would be eliminated, giving 8 D, 5 E, 1 abstain (Gustaf, who only stated three preferences not including D and E).
But there's still lots of registered voters out there, and the election is far from over.

[minionofmidas]

Well, you're the only one who wants impermanent regions. Consider that vote taken.

[minionofmidas]

Well, yeah, I dimly remember there was one.

[minionofmidas]

Well, yeah, I dimly remember there was one.

First off, you sir never gave us the option.  Who died and appointed you dictator?

I'm not the dictator. Nobody died.
Or is that a reference to "dictator-for-life of the Solar System"? That office was granted to me by God, but it does not carry any special rights and responsibilities, it's just a title.

Sorry, not trying to strongarm anybody...Just enjoying myself here really...Go and set up a thread to vote on tour proposal, see how many votes you get...I'm totally ready to take it seriously and to vote in it...And of course (goes without saying) to accept the result.

[minionofmidas]

While I would have thought that A and F would be eliminated at the same time, this doesn't change the final result.
Using both those maps is fine with me.

Just digging this up for easy reference. It was on page five.
