IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU PM ME, YOU EITHER MUST SPLIT YOUR MESSAGE INTO TWO, OR YOU MAY JUST USE THE NUMBERS, OTHERWISE PART OF YOUR VOTE WILL GET CUT OFF BY THE CHARACTER LIMIT IN THE PMs.

These are the items that are coming up for a vote.  I went through the whole thread and tried to grab everything of significance and who first suggested the idea.  There’s a good chance I overlooked something, and I’m sure we’ll have more ideas and votes to come, but if we can at least get much of this done, we can then begin working on the actual movie, including special effects, new filming, and basic editing.  I’ve decided to include this list on the thread so everyone can see what is up for vote and avoid putting a large PM in your box.  If you’ve ever commented in the thread, you should see a PM with a link to this particular comment.  I can’t have everyone in the world vote who hasn’t contributed thus far, so if you want a voice in future votes, get active in the thread.

 

Please send your vote via PM in order to avoid affecting or being affected by the votes of others.  I will tally them all fairly and include names of who voted for what so you can make sure I accurately counted your votes. 

 

You will have one week from today to PM me your vote, or else it will not be counted.  You need not vote on every item (or anything!) if you don’t want to.  As of this posting, I encourage anyone who feels strongly about certain ideas to lobby hardcore for them to explain to others why they should support your ideas.

 

As a final note, I want you to vote with your heart.  In other words, I want you to vote for what you really like, even if it seems very difficult to pull off.  This vote is not permanently binding on the story of course, because we may find we can’t pull off some of these ideas, but if the majority wants to go with a certain direction, this vote should encourage us to greatly explore that route above all others before we give up on it.
