Christ, you guys could cut out the (bad) acting already, you know? It's getting annoying. Plus, it's a bit meta, using things like that to get people to believe you.
Actually, I've been in the same situation before, which is why I spoke up. I mean, think about it. You're the GM, you have all the votes needed to wrap up this proposal. But there's a lot of discussion going on and maybe, just maybe, one side might still be able to convince someone to switch.
What do you do? How long do you wait? Not at all? As long as it takes, even if it's days? You have to do one or the other because there's no formal deadline, so you're left knowing full well that you're going to make a huge impact on the game, when the entire prupose of the GM here is to guide, not interfere.
So, yeah, from my position in the game, I would prefer it if we could continue to try and convince someone to change.
But if I take a step back and look at it as a sometimes-GM, I have to let go of that wish and simply accept that everyone cast their vote. Which is why I'm telling tamius that if he does end it now, I'm not going to complain about it.
