### Point system
The point system is a **last-resort** option. This should not be the general process of resolving conflicts. If the space is starting to use this too much, that means that there is a structural problem in the group dynamic.
**The point system has a few basic rules:**
- each voter has a certain number of points that he can distribute over the different proposals
- The proposal with the most points wins
- In case of tie; revote.
- ** Number of points per voter = ** `(#_of_options * 2 ) + 1 `
- Results should be given to the group in binary format: what proposal won and what lost. This is to strengten the support of the decision.
This decision is now
* each voter has a certain number of points that he can distribute over the different proposals
* The proposal with the most points wins
* In case of tie; revote.
* ** Number of points per voter = ** `(#_of_options * 2 ) + 1 `
* Results should be given to the group in binary format: what proposal won and what lost. This is to strengten the support of the decision.
"No decision" is worse than a "bad decision". Conflict has to be solved eventually. That is why there is this last-resort option. However, we want to discourage people from blocking consensus. The point system has the following advantages:
- The outcome is not always clear because balanced ideas can still win, even if the minority would vote for them.
- The minority will gain from convincing the majority that their idea is not completely ridiculous.
