Saying that we are more than just a rock is all well and good (we are), but this is literally true. Soul gem breaks, we die.

I don't remember. Probably. I'll take a minute to re read that clusterfuck, I guess.
Maybe, "this is my soul", instead?
Point is to chage "you'll die when...", for "I'll die when...", and let Ono make the comparison.

That's not the point. Worded as is goes completely against how we addressed the lich bomb to Mami. Beside the point of going full horror and trauma on Megane (which I'm against), it's a total flip flop on our philoshophy regarding souls in general. I can't agree to this approach at all.
Onmur

Well, kind of.
We did tell her 'we are Soul Gems, that's where our Soul is now', while also saying that doesn't make us rocks, that we are still the same people, anyway.

Honestly, I don't know what to vote for. I'm just hoping that, if this does blow up, we can just stick her in a very comfortable box and carry her around until she gets better. It's not like we have to go to school, after all, and we can just say that she's sick if hers tries to call her.

When you become a witch, the following typically happens:
1. Your soul shatters.
2. You lose control of (or abandon) your human body.
3. You lose access to all emotions except for despair.
4. You lose the ability to communicate.
5. You lose all of your memories and the ability to distinguish former friends from enemies.
6. You lose all previous motivations and have them replaced with gratuitous undirected homicide.
7. Your name changes.
Each witch is unique, so there are some that don't follow this pattern completely (e.g. Margot didn't attack Oriko), but in general the change is big enough that most people would agree that "death" is an accurate word to describe what happens, even if part of the soul does happen to still be moving around afterwards.
With respect to the vote, I feel that there is a danger of Ono physically attacking us if we don't do as she says and leave the room right now. Sure, we can restrain her if she does so, but I'd rather give her a bit of physical space and a bit of time to calm down before forcing the meeting. Switching back to my previous vote:
[X] "OK, we'll leave."
[X] As you walk out the door: "We came here because you're on our team now, and we refuse to let you die. Come out when you're ready to talk."
[X] Ask to cleanse Homura.
[X] Wait for Ono to come out.

Again, the leaving just leads to stonewalling. She doesn't want to talk to us, and give the option she won't.

Bah, who says that the soul gem is the whole soul? It could just be in the soul gem, like an egg, you know.
Not really, you just don't care, for the most part.

In fact we know two cases where the witch would not attack a specific person, Margot didn't attack Oriko and Homulily didn't attack Madoka.Not really, you just don't care, for the most part.

Still sounds kind of derpy to me. We broke in because we think she might die tonight otherwise, so...
[] Megane, we wouldn't have broken in like this if your life wasn't in danger.
That'd make it both times the meguca witched out for the sake of the one they weren't hostile against.

I like where they are both going with this. Especially Onmur's dialogue.

... Is that allowed?
TJSomething
That's... that's impossible!

It should be allowed. Approval voting, which lets people vote for multiple things, has been proven to prevent the spoiler effect, where a weaker third party candidate steals votes away from the person who would otherwise win. A specific instance in America in 1992 was when Perot took votes from Bush Sr., resulting in Clinton's election. This decreases the instance of bandwagons, because you can safely vote for a relatively unknown vote, as well as what you think the reasonable bandwagon is. However, instant runoff voting, where you rank votes, is slightly better, as you can say that your first choice is the minority opinion and your second choice is a vote that will probably be popular.

I think it would get kind of screwy. Let's say you could vote for not only 2 choices, but as many as you want. Then you can vote for all but 1 person, effectively resulting in an 'antivote', which is not allowed.
TJSomething
That's... that's impossible!
But you can effectively strategically vote like that with the current first-past-the-post voting system. Since only votes for the top two candidates matter, if you wanted to consistently anti-vote a person, if they get into the top two then you vote for the other choice in the top two, and abstain the rest of the the time, which is effectively a constant anti-vote for a single person.

Eh, complex voting systems are annoying to deal with for both the Quest runner and the voters. This way is simple, and it's flaws aren't so bad that the solution is worth the hassle it'll take to get used to a new way of voting.

That requires two votes to convince most people to vote for them; the 'best' options rise above before one wins.
Anti-voting allows people to pull down certain votes without actually helping create a competing alternative.
Well, I'm not certain how meta voting works, but I think that's about it.
TJSomething
That's... that's impossible!
I'm not convinced, and I might try to run a simulation of different voting methods, but after a bit of thought, I realize that many of the problems I have are solved by my ability to change my vote at the last minute from whatever minority opinion I actually want to the bandwagon that I prefer slightly over the other bandwagon.

[x] Be gentle and comforting, but firm
[x] Shake head
[x] That would be abandoning you, and I won't do that.
[x] If we leave, you're coming with us or it's after we're satisfied that you're safe.
[x] You haven't been taught how to survive and I won't lose you. We're a team now.
Okay. Tried to make my earlier idea more concise.

Yeah, cloning variations come up every now and then.
I wonder if we could make a grief replica without losing too much on the multitasking ability that we couldn't use grief TK properly?
