Quote:Unfortunately, Phoen, your vote was after the alloted voting time, so the vote is closed.Fortunately, however, Aye only has 16 and two thirds % of the vote, which cannot be called a majority.Thus, this piece of legislation has failed.Actually... you extended the vote for three days at:(12/7/03 9:13 am)I cast my vote at:(12/10/03 9:08 am)Technically, I made the cut by five minutes...But the bill failed anyways, so it doesn't really matter...Oh, and if you're going by percentage vote, then technically any abstentions are automatically counted as NAY votes...No hard feelings Phoenix the Risen - Dutchess of Kildare - Political Nuisance but at least She gets the job done. - Official Genkher of Gryphon Avocatio's Cool Short Sig and Gryphon the Pure's Awesome Tables! - COME BACK, STEVE!!! -"To quote a former Kaiser....

Abstaination DO NOT count as Nays... the percentage is taken from ONLY the Aye/Nay votes.. Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

*counts on fingers*7, 8, 9. How many days is that? 3!!!Bazam, counter that one, yer Dutchessness!! Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

dude... that's not how you add... go back to first grade...actually, no... it's a word problem, I guess you don't get those until about third...If on the seventh you say "three more days", that means you add three to seven to find the end:7 + 3 = 10Now in case that isn't enough for you, check your work.10 - 7 = 3unless you want to go by hours (here's some 7th - maybe even 8th grade math for you), in which case 3 days is 72 hours... starting at the 9th hour of the 7th day *7,9* add 72 base 24, which equals *3,0* and you wind up with *10,9*: the ninth hour of the tenth day!Count minutes, seconds, whatever... you're still going to end up with 2003.12.10.9.13. (yr.mo.day.hour.min.)Don't question my maad mathematical schiels.

Ok.. behave you guys... Joseph.. can it..hehe He IS Prætor.. he doens't have to be right... just as long as he is consistant..hehehe Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

[Zirandorthel]

Yes, but at 9am on the seventh day, I hardly mean that we have 4 more days, do I?All that matters is that it made sense to me, alrigh'?! Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!

Indeed.. Like I said.. as long as he is consistant... Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

*sigh*Umm... final statement here:The time which passes between 9 AM on the seventh day and 9 AM on the tenth day is not "4 days", it is 3.Okay, final statement here (for reals this time):I am going to stop arguing because you can ask anyone with any addition and subtraction skills and you will be told same. If you want to contest milennia of development in the areas of Mathematics... go tell it to the guy who first proved that 7 + 3 = 10 ... or, since he's probably dead, prove your theory and get it published.By that last remark, I don't mean to sound condescending. It would be really cool if you could write a book explaining a new form of Mathematics... hell, I'd try to be the first one to buy it if I were anywhere near the place it would be released... (and by anywhere near, I mean bus/biking distance... I have no better means of transportation) ... so yeah, good luck : D.In the meanwhile, I will keep in mind your strange method of addition when trying to pull in at the last minute...

Okay, the logic behind Dornanian mathematics, Mr. Sarcastic Brasshole, is thus:12am-12pm 7th Day=1 day12am-12pm 8th Day=1 day12am-12pm 9th Day=1 dayThat is three days altogether. It's like counting pages. You have to count that page, such as page 210 to page 281 is 72 pages, not 71. It's different with adding and subtracting. It's like counting from 0 to 10, that is 11 numbers, but there are ten numbers in between, thus 0+10=10.

Precisely, I'm glad everyone sees my point..Actually though, a vote is only meant to go on for 4 days, not 7. The wording in the LawBook got me confused.. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus TinenetuwarLet the fates burn!
