Not pretty, but a much needed win.  No I just have to hope for a couple of letdowns from Seattle so SF can take the west

Time to see if SF can handle their business.  I think they will.

The Vikings game was interesting.  Never thought I'd ever say that.

4 TDs in the last 2 minutes.

This doesn't surprise me.  They lost to Cincy.

Suggestions & Concerns / Re: Zetetic Council

I only have one further concern.

the ballot has to be secret. Otherwise those that vote last will have the greatest say. Lets say someone I kinda wanted is in 6th place and the rest of the vote is a done deal. I'll then just give that person my number one preference to help get them in, even though normally they might have been my 4th choice.

Parsifal could then make all the data available after the election for transparency.

I agree completely.

Should we do separate threads for nomination and voting?  I'd like to get a list going soon.

Ok, defining a list of candidates for preferrential voting.

Lets say anyone who gets a nomination is added to the list. Everyone can make one nomination. Can't be for themselves.

So if I nominate Tom Bishop, we add Tom to the list of candidates.

Does that sound fair? Then we can make a thread, give everyone 5 votes, define the number of zetetic councilors beforehand and form the council.

I agree and am good with this.  I like Parsifal's idea of 5 to start, which can be expanded by a council vote.

OSU looks like they have started to turn the tables. Gonna be a good finish.

If they don't win, there is a 87.654% probability I die tonight.

Auburn and Missouri need to settle down.

The SEC doesn't play defense.  What an overrated joke.  500 rushing yards by 1 team through 3 quarters.  Embarrassing.

Short and to the point. Its about the same size as the current Lorem ipsum.

I will write a more ... section tomorrow if it pleases the society, on the history of the modern flat earth society from Rowbotham right up to the formation of our new site. A kind of how we got here.

Thank you, Thork.  I knew you would contribute someday.

But seriously, thanks.

I think there should be an American voice in the video. Not mine, though.

No, Crudblud's voice is amazing.  Thork's is a bit feminine, but acceptable.

Mmm. Oh, well. It was only a suggestion. 

A terrible one...

But yeah, I think it is okay right now.  It isn't like we are overrun.  Although, having a big number next to that total member count is nice, maybe moar bots.

The second person you referenced is also an account on the old site.  I'd assume they are the same person and not a bot.

How can you be active Never? It means you haven't read a single post.

Could it be that the bot came to both sites, as unlikely as that sounds?

He posted at the other site.
