Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case.

Note: While it’s true that many things are based on actual events, the characters contained within this strip are not meant to be direct analogs for actual people. They are not based off of people living, dead, or undead and any resemblance is coincidental. Nor are they based off of Ferrets.
Because that would be weird.
I love the alt text!
I understand the motovation, but half an hour of discussion is truly a wildly short period of time. And I agree that turning everything into a vote instead of letting the discussion run its course isn’t going to end well.
I actually remember when this was an issue with our con as well.
Although we started emphasis on focus rather than calling for a vote every 30. We’ve had our fair share of meetings get a little too carried away with several discussions (So many times I forget), its just to the point where we’re older, we try to reign it in best we can and make sure to keep focus.
Funny thing is, I was in Sarah’s shoes. But never ever took it that far. Brought it up to my friends outside of meetings and during meetings requested that we try to be a bit more organized when it came to discussions.
You may laugh, but you do enough nudging over a long period of time and it takes seed in people’s mind.
Should Sarah stop trying so hard to just get things done instead of talking it out? Or is the act of endless discussion detrimental to con business? I move that we vote on the topic.
Seconded.
they spent 4 weeks debating changing something no one wanted changed so YEA i’m with her on this
One time on the UW-Madison Student Senate I seconded everything.
