Date

I'm thinking the middle of September, since the kids these days are going back to school soon. I'm open to suggestions, though. I'm also open to the idea of skipping PLS altogether. This is due to a mild case of apathy. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 15:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

• For. Though I wouldn't oppose October 1, either. We should definitely not skip it, however. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 15:52, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

• For. I think we should do it in October, and then do it again at the beginning of January to get back in the whole biannual swing of things--that seems (to me) to be the best compromise. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 04:03, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Skip it

That's a bit far in the future, don't you think? --Mn-z 22:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

No. Read my bit in the comments section for my reasoning. I think it should restart to the beginning of the year and midyear. --Hotadmin4u69 ^[TALK] 23:01, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

So isn't this the same as the skipping it option above?    Tagstit    talk    contribs    awards   23:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

No, because I imagine the next PLS would be in March or July. A fall PLS has never happened before. It would just move to spring or next summer if we skipped it. January-February and July-August is how I'm seeing it should get back to...the good ol' days. --Hotadmin4u69 ^[TALK] 23:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, gotcha. Well, couldn't we make up for the one we missed this fall, and then do it again January-Febuary and resume like it was supposed to? So we don't miss one fully?    Tagstit    talk    contribs    awards   23:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't see a problem with that. More PLS, more fun. You know. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 23:27, Aug 22

• Against. I don't really care about tradition or when PLS historically started, so I'd rather just have one sooner, while we're all thinking about it, rather than later, once we've all forgotten about it. - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 14:03, Aug 23

One around October, to make up for the one we missed, then another in January to set the semi-annual cycle back on track

• For More PLS!    Tagstit    talk    contribs    awards   05:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

  Point of inquiry - would this be on October 5th so that it begins, to accommodate emc's wishes, on a Monday? Also, I move that all articles must be judged and a winner been picked within two weeks of the closure of entries, and if this isn't good for any potential judges then they shouldn't fucking volunteer to be a goddamn judge! MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 20:14, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

• For. Per above. Also, I'd be willing to judge in the PLS that comes after this one. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 07:39, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
