Kossoth Zan:
Err...
I know what voting means but what exactly in this context?
I guess in my head ... I figured it would be the items being voted upon and a list of names.
Example:- Scimitar — Kossoth
- Bag — Ali
- Ring — Korkas
- Brooch — Virius
- Cloak — Althiƶf
- Potion — Ali
Just like the man said on tv ... "Just the facts, ma'am."
If we make the business thread the discussion thread as well, than it will become muddled and hard to follow (and very little business will be conducted). The 'I thinks ...' and the 'I feels ...' and the 'Well, how about we...?' statements should be here in the OOC. Ideally, the
Party Business thread should just be for the calling and tallying of votes and not for the presentation of reasonings and/or discussions about the results.
Like so:
Party Business thread
Me: Please vote on the object. My vote is y.
A: Vote x
B: Vote x
C: Vote y
D: Vote x
Me: Results have been tallied. x = 3, y = 2, x receives the item.
Now, most times, an item won't be in contention, so every single item doesn't
have to be voted upon after an encounter. But when we cannot agree as in the case of the cloak — it was really valuable to a thief, and we have two thieves, so it makes sense — then we take it to a vote.
^^ Of course ... just because that's how I saw it working in my head, it doesn't mean that's how it will stay. It does't seem to be working all that well ... I'll do some thinking on it and see if I cannot retool the process when I get home from this trip.
