Before we set up voting, there are a few philosophical questions that may need to
be answered:
If everyone gets one vote, and if 90% of the people are NOT train folks, I would
assume that the train people are going to get out-voted.
If voting were done by say - how many parts do you want of a particular piece,
then you may get a better indication of good utilization of the first dozen
(non-standard) parts we want, but then the smaller collectors will not get as much
of a say in the parts.
I mean you might get 20 people that each want 1,000 train windows (for a total of
20,000 pieces). But then you might have 80 people that all want large technic
wheels, but they each only want 20 (for a total of 1,600 technic wheels).
So which group do we please with the first "special" order? Do we say what piece
do you want the most of? Or do we say everyone has one vote, no matter how few
pieces you want?
Just something to think about.
