We could create dozens of individual threads on yahoo and hope that every single rule gets voted on by every single gm, but that's an unrealistic expectation. The yahoo threads are muddled and confusing.
FWIW, the h2h league held a "constitutional convention" last summer (in a single thread) where we did just this -- discuss all sorts of different possible changes. The debate was useful, on point, and at times at odds. But folks did the work and no one dominated the conversation. The "positions", when there was a difference, were clear after 1 post usually. No need for 8,402 word replies.
They were each then given a single "thread" for voting once we got to Yahoo! All but 1 of the six votes got (IIRC) 18 or 19 votes.
So it's not unrealistic. In fact I know with some self-restraint, discipline and a little togetherness that we could do that here.
All that said, this process needs to be led by the commissioner, Byennie, and no on else.
Cool. I've been here two years and there's been three instances where I've brought up the same exact rule amendment suggestion (regarding 75 missed game rule) and each time a couple people weigh in, the post gets buried and nothing ever comes of it. I expect more of the same, but it's fine because our rules are pretty tight as-is.
But if ya'll want to have a proper vote on a collection of rule suggestions, you need to find a better method than a yahoo thread. It hasn't worked at any point since I've been involved in this league.
Fwiw, I believe the DKC just does everything within surveymonkey.com. That's a viable option. Again, any method to collect all 20+ rule suggestions on one large survey with clearly defined pros/cons and then make the "survey"/"ballot" mandatory for all members would ensure that each suggestion large and small gets addressed.
I'm sorry if my out of context comment about helping "build the voting system" triggered anyone. That wasn't my intention. I was suggesting that I could help build a webform that feeds into a spreadsheet and then give the viewing/editing rights to byennie. But now that I look into it, surveymonkey probably will be a better/easier option.
