Currently, no, unless someone wants to make an argument why it makes sense for the current vote.

My argument would be that it takes no more effort at all to tally approval voting due to the way the tally system votes, so it's not more work for you; while on the other hand it better represents what people want.

In fact, isn't it more work for you to disallow approval voting since it would mean you'd have to manually read each vote to decide to "not count" it?

I mean it is not ranked aproval voting, so it is aimed at "I dislike one option and so do not care which of the others wins" in such a situation.

Approval voting isn't antivoting, it's being able to choose all the options you do want to read, and being ambivalent about the ones you don't.

The only reason a phenomenon like that would beat out the number of voters who desired one option or another would be that it would accurately represent that a majority of voters wanted more than one option other than it.

Approval voting in a vote with three options can arguably be considered anti-voting. The only way approval voting becomes relevant is if you are for all intents and purposes voting against one of the three.

But those are the same, I'm saying. We approach the strong man, and we say that we are a wizard, but we are also a soldier, and we understand soldiers, so we can still be friends. We approach the scholar, and we say that we are a wizard, but also an intellectual, and we understand scholarly pursuits, so we can still be friends. We approach the halfling, and we say that we are a wizard, but also a gambler, and we understand having fun, so we can still be friends.

You're kind of adding your own assumption to the options, though? The options are

"He seems like a soldierly type, as do several of the guards, and you know how to get along with people like that. The Bright College trains soldiers as well as sages, after all."

"You're not any great hand at cards, but it's an entertaining enough way to pass the time, and halflings have a reputation as being far less likely to spit on the ground when a wizard walks by."

"You're no high-browed professor who disdains the common folk, but it would be nice to have a conversation with someone as literate as you are."

Mercellin's option is specifically the only one where we are acknowledged for being a wizard, and them not minding that. The soldier indicates that because we have soldier experience, we're fine. The intellectual option indicates that because we're an intellectual, we're fine; it's specific traits of ours that give us a veneer of respectabiity and being able to meet them on common terms, and not acceptance of our identity as such. The second option is singled out as being the only one where that's true. Mercellin's is the only one that actually accepts us for who we actually are, and not some particular trait that that person finds acceptable. I'm not sure I at all buy that the three options are equivalent.

Tank companion perhaps? Also our temperament seems like it could mesh well with the rowdy soldier type

Bruno does not look like he has much chance at 10 votes so anti-gambling vote it is
