gollark: It may take a little while to do the necessary votes, but it would be ENTIRELY worth it.
gollark: I think we should use instant runoff voting, with the options to choose between being pass proposal, fail proposal, revote proposal but the second most popular option is unavailable, wait 16 hours and then revote, fail proposal but pass its dependents instantly regardless of other rules, crab, pass proposal and next/previous proposals, reclassify proposal as an SCP, pass the proposal but with every second letter removed, pass the proposal but backward, and frog.
