If I interpret that gif right, 17% == 56 votes.
And almost 90 dead votes at round 40?
That's almost 2 candidates! Seems a bit non-(S)TV
5:1 => 4/5 voices > 2/3 difference.
I don't know if 1 was Tomino_sama himself and 1 who did not vote, or if it were only the others...
But assuming Tomino wouldn't vote himself out and all voted it was a 5:2 vote which -for me- is a 3:0 => 3/5 vote and is not >2/3.
But if the council really doesn't like one member that much, this member should probably leave on own decision.
I wouldn't want to expose myself to such a mentally-poisonous environment, which is created by the co-existence of such radically different parties.
Such a position can be handled by a group of peoples supporting each other, not by a single person.
I don't really know what happened in MC, I didn't had internet back then and now don't want to go to a Microsoft game.
About not involving the public... the US government reputation suffered from it.
Perhaps each person should show 1 example and the smaller opposition is allowed to show an equal number of counter-examples.
And then ask the community if the council can work this way. No? Then what's the smallest change that would fix it?
Don't underestimate the hate peoples can build up against these who use them (is "abuse by giving wrong informations" a better term?).
