May I just add that I think everyone's contributions are of great importance, not to mention the pleasure and support of everyone's simple presence here, regardless of verbosity.
I agree with this, but I also want to encourage people to speak up when they have something to say. I think sometimes people hold back because they think their contribution won't add that much, but that is invariably not true. The more people speak up, the more points of view are represented, the better and more representative result we will come up. :love:

No one voted for it, Hobby. There were 15 voters in all.

Either no one voted for it, or, if was an instant runoff vote, I reduced everything to the top two winners.

I voted for it, and so did three or four other people.

Din, Alandriel and myself had it in first place

Voronwe, Imp, laureanna, Prim, Alatar and TORN had it in second place.

The rest had it in third place.

Edit: I'm sorry, I had forgotten how instant runoff works.

C got the least 1st place votes, so those were scrapped, and the second options counted like first options instead, right?
And you gave only the first two results.

Sorry about the confusion! :oops:

truehobbit, were you wondering why the C votes weren't listed in the total?

In the runoff voting, the option that gets the least number of first choice votes is eliminated, and the people who voted for that option as their first choice, have their second choice counted in the final tally instead, so that the final total reflects a choice between just two options. (I believe this is to ensure that the final result shows a true majority.)

Edit

oops, I see we cross-posted. :)

Thanks, Cerin - yes, that had been my question! :)

Half an hour or so after posting I suddenly vaguely remembered what had been said about runoff voting at the beginning of the convention. :oops:
This is still an alien concept to me, so when I first saw the results here, I thought they somehow were the numbers of how many people had voted for these as first option.

Good to know I got it right at last! :)
