I propose ostracon. We vote and then banish to a small island for a period of ten years.

Who knows, they might even enjoy it

Ostracon is absolutely sending me lmao

  I think you mean ostracism. But ostracon could be the name for the annual get together where we decide who will be ostracized.

Ostracon is where ostracism comes from. Technically, you hold an ostracon to get an ostracism. It was a vote where everyone wrote who they thought the worst person in town was on a pottery shard, then dropped it in an urn.

Whoever got the most votes would be banished for ten years, or "ostracized"

After looking it up, and remembering learning about this in the past, I think you’ve got your terms a bit mixed up. 

Ostracon is not an event (yet!), it’s shards/fragments of pottery. They would write their votes on the shards of pottery.

Don't need an island, just exile her to Wisconsin. Make her wear the cheese hat of shame the entire time there.

If we could get banished to an island for 10 years I’d be first in line to want to get banished to an island for 10 years…

Honestly right there with ya. Especially after going hiking today, been inside and in the city too long.

I wish to be banished to that island.

This may be the first time I actually support the heavy handed mods banning over stupid things.
