Actually was I just looking for 3 yeses or one objection. One objection and we work with the objector to fashion a solution that they appreciate.
Personally? I think that people don't vote sometimes because they are satisfied that things are going to turn out fine.
[sblock=In the US]50% of the people don't vote. I often skip elections. I've always argued that I skip elections because 1. I'm indifferent between the two candidates or 2. My vote won't matter (my home state's pretty solidly in one category).
Most of the friends I've talked to tend to argue that whatever my reasons for voting are the vast majority of people "really want to vote and have their opinions heard, but don't".
I'm not sure that I buy that. Maybe I think that people feel more enabled than they really are.[/sblock]
Anyway, I've made my push.
I'm happy to let other people wrestle with the facilitator thing. I'll keep an eye out and go with whatever's decided.
I -would- point out: we're elected facilitators, not judges. It's a temporary thing.
AND
We have very little momentum right now. Waiting for some new group to appear and bless or curse our initiative (now that we're in a forum that nobody goes to) isn't probably going to work out.
But a day or two won't matter.

I think we need to start working seriously on the setting thing.
roadmap said:
The
roadmap had the election of facilitators triggering a lot of stuff
1. Submission of characters and adventures
2. Charter (the necessity of which I'm dubious of... I like a simple
vision statement) could an existing judge explain what the charter is supposed to do?
3. Setting proposals are discussed
They create a poll, with options like: "We should go with setting A and start playing immediately", "We should go with setting B and start playing immediately", "We should keep talking about it for a while first". Leave the poll open for a while, say two weeks, and if at the end of that time the facilitators determine that "Setting B and start right now" has won convincingly, we are ready to play.
4. Setting votes triggered "when judged ready".
Personally I think it's going to be hellish trying to take adventure and character submissions with no world idea.
And it's unfair to people who are submitting, since whatever we approve will have to be changed later when the setting is adopted (especially if it's not a modular setting).

I think
somebody needs to decide the following:
1. How much a setting needs before we vote on it
2. How we vote on a setting (the roadmap says we go setting by setting) - I was thinking meta->actual setting but nobody seems to like doing meta discussions so maybe we should just throw it open with a bunch of options?
3. What's required for a character submission (I think/hope renau1g is working on a new character sheet based on
GK's original). I really want a section where people "show their math". I.e. how they got each number.
I also want to see a roleplaying section like
from renu1gs game with mods said:
Name:
Region of origin: (Daunton, Kingdom of Jade, etc)
Race:
Class:
Background:
Appearance:
Personality (including quirks):
Kicker: See
here or
here
Hooks: (missing relative, want to become the most famous explorer in the world, whatever)
4. What we need to support character creation
5. Are we going to have DM points, or something else to reward DMs for running games?
