132. We're not sure how many hosts there will be yet...

Wed Dec 14, 2011, 04:03 AM

Dec 2011

But what we do have to go on is that we need a primary or master host... the one that will choose the initial set of other co-hosts. We're doing this because to get a first host you need to contact Skinner with a group consensus on who should be the primary/master/first host.

Their only special power is that they can remove other hosts below them by virtue of their longevity as host. So host 2 can't remove host 1 but host 1 can remove host 2... at least that is how it was described to us.

So all we're really voting for right now is the primary host... but everyone is encouraged to vote for as many people as they think are qualified so that after the primary host is elected they will have a good list of people to pull from if they chose to for the other hosts.

If someone writes-in, "-1,000,000" then I suppose it could be taken personally. n/t Ian David Dec 2011 #46

Perhaps an exception can be made... but not on the voting thread! Fearless Dec 2011 #59

Now would probably not be a good time for that. n/t Ian David Dec 2011 #61

My thoughts exactly. Also do you want your add ons to the ballot from before... Fearless Dec 2011 #65

I already posted my ballot in the correct format and gave them +1 votes. n/t Ian David Dec 2011 #66

My bad... I should've looked over the whole thread before asking. Thanks! Fearless Dec 2011 #67

I'd say it is telling of the good character of our LGBT DUers! Fearless Dec 2011 #29

I voted for each person that I would support to be a host. yardwork Dec 2011 #42
