Favourite fruit

Field trial only — not union business. Pick a fruit so we can prove one member, one vote, and that results publish themselves.

Both sides

Read this before you vote. Committee briefs are signed off when a poll opens. The digest restates both cases in equal weight — it is not a recommendation and not union policy.

AI digest is off on this host. The signed committee brief still stands.

Committee — for

Fruit in the mess is cheap, familiar, and easy to keep in a locker. For a trial vote the point is not the fruit — it is that a named option can carry a short case, with a source, so members are not asked to tap blind.

Committee — against

A favourite-fruit question is trivial on purpose. Treating it like a pay offer would be dishonest. Use this round only to prove the roll check and the count; do not read the result as a brigade preference.

Method

  • Eligible: membership numbers on the area roll frozen when this poll opened.
  • Check for this trial: membership number + last name. Not proof of identity.
  • One vote per membership number, not per Telegram account.
  • Named cases use full first and last name. No anonymous posts.
  • Anonymous totals only. Who voted for what is never published.

Named cases

Live board. Full first name and last name are required and shown. Membership number is stored and never displayed. No anonymous posts. Skip this if you only want the count.

    Clearly Oranges are superior. There can be only 1 as it is the best and only fruit named after is colour

    Apple is the honest trial option: cheap, keeps in a locker, and nobody can pretend the result is a mandate on pay. If we cannot run a clean count on fruit we should not run one on crewing.

    A favourite-fruit question is trivial on purpose. Publishing a winner still lets someone say the members have spoken. Keep the watermark in the room and do not read this as brigade preference.

    Orange and banana split the mess. Apple is what people actually eat on nights. The point of a named case is that a real person will put their name on a short argument before they tap a button.

    Control already has enough noise. A public fruit chart will be screenshotted out of context. Use this round only to prove the roll check; close it when the count is trusted.
