Oh, no, Noggie, DAY 1 must remain DAY 1 , otherwise it ain't DAY 1 at all.

zomg all this voting stuff is making my brain hurt... now i'd like to just try higlighting ot make sure i can do it...

++ The Phantom

seems to function all right... and the impression i had about the votes was that we could only add weight to our own vote and these extra weren't like extra votes right? so if we retract some weight off of our original we can't then use them to vote for another...

Completely correct, Nogrod. You are indeed allowed to retract only a portion of your votes if you wish and so leave your original target with a number of bonus votes. Let's say you do this-

++Phantom (5)

And then do this-

--Phantom (3)

Phantom still has two votes. And then you can do this-

++Mira (1)

And give Mira two votes (your daily vote plus one of your bonus votes. That means for the day you gave Mira 2 votes and Phantom 2 votes, and the following day you will have 3 fewer bonus votes.

ok... still trying to understand. We are allowed to retract some of our weighted votes and then add them onto another but are we allowed to say

++ The Phantom (2)

++ Mira (3)

No, because that would be an attempt to assign your free daily vote to both people. Only your bonus votes (the number inside the parenthesis) can be split. You can't cast your daily vote for both Phantom and Mira. You would have to retract the first one.

Some day, when I can be bothered, I will come up with a brilliant and evil plan to destroy DAY ONE entirely.

But sweetheart, without a proper Day One, how am I supposed to flirt shamelessly with you without others assuming we are, somehow, Lovers?

Further motivation to be bothered to unleash my brilliant and evil plan to destroy DAY ONE.

I didn't know you were going to be playing when I signed up for this.

While I wish to clarify, for the record, that it is not Days 1 that I hate, but the idea that there is any useful analysis to be gleaned therefrom, I must agree with my colleague Felagund that Day 1 is hardly a "Day 1" if it does not precede all other days in sequence. Just as there is no Year 0 between -1 B.C. and 1 A.D., so there is no Day 0, it seems to me.

I therefore petition Milord the phantom to rename this "Day 0," "Day -1."
