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.

One time on the UW-Madison Student Senate I seconded everything.
