I figured not staying on topic was kind of my thing. I'm a plastic, remember? So in that way everything I say is totally on topic.
When we have the book is totally vague btw. Is there like a set time frame people have for obtaining Pizza and Coffee?

Nominations end the 13th and voting is the 14th so I'm guessing we will be starting right after that.

No because everyone needs time to get the book. I was trying to figure out if there was a time limit for that or if people just started whenever they had it.
Also if you were here since 2008 then I probably know who you are. So who are you?

Actually 2003. I've always been VKSB.

I'm pretty sure I remember your name. But like what stuff have you done around here?

I think she was member of the month a few years back. Near the end of 2008 perhaps.

Usually a week or so after we pick the book so that people have time to get it.

Given that WWBU was proposed, I actually want to suggest another text Snicket's contributed to, and which I think would suit the book club format: The Chronicles of Harris Burdick, Chris Van Allsburg et al., 9780547548104 / 9781849394086.

Question -Why is the voting process so complicated? Why not just a poll, and the winner wins.

I guess because if you do that, a book might win with three votes even if everyone else hates it. Elimination gets you the most generally acceptable rather than the one with the keenest fans.

There's a better chance for a true majority rather than a simple plurality this way, I suppose. I guess that could also be accomplished through polls, but that's an awful lot of threads.
Edit: Hermes put it better.

Oh, and VKSB is actually our fourth most senior member (after Tragedy, Fancy and BSam), one of just four who was here before the name-change, though she went away for a while and came back.

Yeah, but she hasn't done anything memorable that I can think of. I vaguely remember her name but thats all.
I agree with Willis. This is all pointless, we should have just declared Pizza and Coffee the winner. 667 is not a democracy.
