Mars (Arbital Import)*2

It's unclear to me, tbh.

Pro: Less anchoring, thus more accuracy

Con: Makes it slower/harder to interact with the site, and/or to get the information or consensus

Perhaps something like, you don't see it unless you either vote or click "show results"?

Of course if that doesn't work for whatever reason, I'd be happy with there being veto powers anyway.

I would very much encourage the norm here to be, "If you feel the need to veto something, explicitly start a double-crux."

Any time a veto happens, this inherently means there is a disagreement that hasn't been resolved. The bottleneck for Double Crux (CX²) seems to be "explicitly identifying moments in-the-moment where it would be good to use CX²". Veto situations are an ideal moment.

nods, definitely want to encourage discussion. However, people may not want their reasons for vetoing widely known, or even the fact that it was them who vetoed someone. The structure has to be carefully designed. I have a vague plan, but best not go into that level of zoom until the team is together, I think.

Well. Actually.

Lighting other candles from the first, as well as if they're burning nearby, would have various effects on the first candle. The increased heat would make the first candle's wax evaporate more, and thus burn brighter as well as decreasing its lifespan.

If there's not enough ventilation in the room, the addition of other fires would reduce the available oxygen, and thus reduce the burning intensity and increase the lifespan of the initial candle, as well as make the flame more yellow than blue.

If there's no ventilation at all, lighting too many candles will make them all burn out prematurely.

End. Well. Actually.

Would love to read about actual examples, if said people are comfortable with that!

Not sure if it's high value to go into details, I'm unsure which parts help and it's not a set of things I'd expect people to be able to replicate based on a text description. Mostly talking a lot, trying to transfer lots of concepts which seem like they may be valuable, and sharing a bunch of bits of my development path as they seem relevant. I may try and write a guide for it when I've got a larger sample size and feedback to work with. Which would totally happen if this thing exists :)
