<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 2884108, member: 84744&quot;]As the challenge increases, the accomplishment decreases, of course.&nbsp; I think 50 year periods is way too easy, I could probably do that just with my own collection.&nbsp; If we&#039;re not allowed to post anything outside our own collections, I agree that year-by-year is too difficult and would take too long... although in general a multi-year thread doesn&#039;t strike me as a big negative.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where does the right balance lie?&nbsp; Well, it depends on the century, and it depends on whether there&#039;s a backup option to post coins that you don&#039;t own.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I propose that we do 2 things.&nbsp; First, we vote on whether we&#039;d like to have a backup option to post coins that you don&#039;t own.&nbsp; Then, for each century as they come up, those who might participate discuss &amp; vote on whether we&#039;ll attempt that century year by year, year by year with the flexibility to accommodate alternative dating systems like AH dates or Alexandrian dates, in 5y stretches, 10y stretches, or 25y stretches.&nbsp; There would be 24h of discussion, and then 24 of voting.&nbsp; (And if we end up making a particular century too hard, we can always make an emergency switch to a coarser grain.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I could start a thread describing the proposal, accompanied by the following poll:</p><p><br /></p><p>a) I would only participate if there&#039;s backup option (at 6h or 12h) to post coins that don&#039;t belong to the poster.</p><p>b) I would only participate if there&#039;s NO backup option to post coins that don&#039;t belong to the poster.</p><p>c) I would participate either way, but I prefer there to be a backup option to post coins we don&#039;t own.</p><p>d) I would participate either way, but I prefer it if we&#039;re always required to post coins we own.</p><p>e) I would participate either way, and don&#039;t mind about the backup option.</p><p>f) I won&#039;t participate, instead I will eat bacon. Have fun!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any dissenters to this strategy, or refinements for the idea or the poll?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
