I wasn't around for those earlier events but probably would have wanted that detail. And yes of course, I was going to do a New Jersey coin toss article:) I will include the alt-narrative. And alas, I am much heavier than a duck. -Cayrn Ann On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 1:18 AM, Alicia Mattson <agmattson@gmail.com> wrote:

I am baffled as to why this particular coin toss is perceived by some to be more of a historical event than the Guy McLendon / Doug Craig coin toss during the 2014 convention for the 5th at-large seat, or the drawing of names at the 2004 convention to break a tie between Admiral Colley and Sean Haugh. But if you believe it to be so, since I added New Jersey to the minutes, then will my more entertaining and detailed rendition of the event be inducted into the historical archives?

At the request of Ms. Harlos, I have re-drafted that section of the minutes to now read as follows:
Then did Sir Redpath, his arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, hold aloft the New Jersey-branded, quarter-dollar medallion (acquired on his last visit with The Sopranos) extracted from his Bag of Holding, signifying by Divine Providence that Sir McKnight (as regional representative for the Garden State) was to cast the medallion, and that Maid Harlos should be granted woman’s privilege to call the coin in the air.
Then did the objectors declare that flipping strange medallions encapsulated within the confines of purse strings is no basis for making committee appointments. Supreme executive power derives from a majority of the ballots, not from some farcical coinage-tossing ceremony.
Their cries went ignored, the tyranny of the majority having spoken contrary to the sacred text of Sir Robert.
With a grunt did Sir McKnight heave the medallion upward, only to be overcome by the natural forces described by Sir Newton. Maid Harlos did cry out “New Jersey!” as the medallion plummeted to the ground, leaving Sir Starr with the freedom fighter George Washington side of the medallion as his champion.
Lo, the medallion of arbitration thoroughly dissed the face of the founding father and landed with its homage to the state facing skyward. Maid Harlos did gleefully claim the mantle of authority granted to her by the cult of the omnipotent state, and vanquished Sir Starr to the lowly position of committee alternate.

I wasn't kidding. I think the call is both relevant (the coin decided) and is an interesting bit of history to be preserved. If the call of the coin wasn't determinative I wouldn't think it should be included (just like the date nor the metal components were not) but the actual call of "New Jersey" was pertinent and an interesting bit of Libertarian lore.

I thought you guys were joking, rather than making an actual request.
Is it important that it happened to be a New Jersey quarter? I also didn't note that the paper ballots after round 1 were from hotel-branded notepads and said "Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown" at the top, and "600 Commonwealth Place, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Tel: 412-594-5152 <(412)%20594-5152> Fax: 412 594-5130 <(412)%20594-5130> wyndham.com" at the bottom.
If you seriously want it there, I can add it, but I thought you were kidding.

Was there a problem with noting that I called "New Jersey" on the coin toss?
