Question

Hi,we had a poll where one of my friend replied with the following post..I am game for 1) First choice--- TRON and 2)Second--- Fighter(in case we won't be having consensus for the TRON).i pointed to him the section in BOLD does not sound correct to me, but i couldn't tell him what was wrong.i would have articulated the same somewhat like this "In case we wouldn't have a consensus for TRON".Question:what's wrong with the first sentence (or may be the 2nd one too)?

This is how I see your questions. No perfect construction is necessary here.

"Won't..." or "Wouldn't" has a presumed implication of negative will. So it doesn't jive with the word "consensus" in my opinion.
On the other hand, if we say " In case we don't come to consensus.... Note: I think agreement is a more suitable word. Consensus - seems a bit to big for this context. That's my take.

I am game for 1) First choice--- TRON and 2)Second--- Fighter(in case we don't come to a ~~won't be having~~ consensus for the TRON).

i pointed to him the section in BOLD does not sound correct to me, but i couldn't tell him what was wrong.
i would have articulated the same somewhat like this "In case we don't come to ~~wouldn't have~~ a consensus for TRON".
