[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9170491, member: 7006"] But we don't need to know-know exactly what is going on... we just have to listen to what they say and take from it a logical result. They've made it clear that they want to see something at least 70% acceptance (basically 4-point and 5-point votes) for them to continue to pursue it. We know this. Which means if there's anything introduced that we like the basics of (but not necessarily the specifics) and we don't want to see it shat-canned... we should vote at least an acceptable rating so that we can contribute to getting it to 70% at minimum. And [I]then[/I] give all our issues in the write-ups so then they can see what needs to be amended. But if you go straight to 1-point votes because you don't like the specifics (even if you think the foundation is sound) and you want to get your disdain and displeasure out for WotC for whatever reason (even though nobody else cares one way or the other what you think of it)... you're going to just contribute to not getting it to 70. And you will see the thing binned, rather than worked on and pushed forward. Which goes against precisely what you were hoping to see happen. Are there any guarantees to any of this? Well, no, of course not. But nothing I've said here should be a surprise to anyone, because it's an exceedingly easy reasoning to come to based on what Jeremy et. al. have made clear about he surveys in the past. So even if we don't know precisely the rules, we can still play the game they have laid out before us. [/QUOTE]
