Simple majority. Decisions will take to long to reach a 2/3rds garnering form, if they ever reach such.

Who came up with these names??? WHat you call a "simple majority" is actually a plurality and an "absolute majority" is really a simple majority.

Simple majority in the case of minor affairs, 2/3 majority for major affairs.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I'm taking it that this will be our official position as a team and that the UN is having a vote on this issus as a whole and we have to submit our vote on this matter?

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I voted "Absolute Majority" (<50%)... but I sense it's not quite so simple...

With an absolute majority option that means that some votes go unresolved. For that to work, the proposal would have to have a natural "default" result for if there is no absolute majority.

So perhaps absolute majority, with runoffs?
