AYEEEEE
I don't like to think of it as cheating. Rather, it's the... two user tandem.(Only Nascar fans would know what that refers to.

So who is starting/moderating this? I'm too scared, I don't want to set these supposed crazy rules

It's wierd, six games in and suddenly there is a problem with the incredibly simple rules..
It would be a good idea to require a 24 hour minimum, on timestamps, between votes from the start of this game. However, you're right that people have done the "double-vote" thing in several elimination games in the past and there never was a rule against it before. So those whining about it being unfair last time are just wrong and causing trouble.

Da Suggested Rules
1. Copy and paste the whole list.
2. You are allotted one turn per day in your time zone, but you must also wait a minimum of 12 hours between turns.
3. Add 1 to one player, subtract 2 from another player, or do both.
4. The person you bump up, BOLD and colour GREEN ("SeaGreen" is preferred), as well as writing the new total next to them.
5. The person you knock down, BOLD and colour RED ("Red" is preferred), as well as writing the new total next to them.
6. YOU CANNOT TOUCH YOUR OWN NAME!!!!!!
7. Once we get down to 10 players left, the game goes into sudden death mode and there will be no bumping up anymore.
8. IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST BELOW, EACH TURN YOU CAN ONLY ADD 1 TO A SINGLE PLAYER OR SUBTRACT 1 FROM A SINGLE PLAYER, BUT NOT BOTH.
Time-zone-related rules (yes, these are a part of the rules above)
9. If you post from a time zone other the the time zone that you used for the timing of your last turn and it has been less than 24 actual hours from your last turn, then continue to use the same time zone that you used for your last turn.
10. If you post from a time zone other the the time zone that you used for the timing of your last turn and it has been more than 24 actual hours from your last turn, please use the time zone from which you are posting.

I think 6 hours min between votes is enough to stop people from taking the piss whilst at the same time not preventing people from voting when it's most convenient for them.

Yeah, I think 6 hours would be good. It wouldn't be THAT awful for voters.

6 or 12 hours I am fine with.

AYEEEEE
Just saying, most people used normal "Green". But I'm fine with those.

Oh the rules are so COMPLICATED. I'm reading a complicated policy on the train home that's more simple than this . But yeah, if we're going to implement this, 6 hours is better than 12 imo. 24 and some will end up not being able to vote the next day if they're not awake that late the next night.
Edit: also, why the specific green/red colours made? Surely just any old green and red would suffice - I liked lime

The reason for 12 hours was already stated in the other thread: the INTENTION is to prevent people from voting within the same CFC session.
Many people here find being online at 5 PM and then 1 minute after midnight being a regular SINGLE evening CFC session (with a possible supper break, smoke break, whatever else you do for breaks).
The 12 hour rule + separate days prevents that kind of situation.
The INTENTION of the game is to vote once per day, not twice in what is essentially the same day for night-hawks.
The 24 hour rule is seen as not making that issue work because it was realistically stated that you might log on late one day and would have to either miss a voting period or else keep staying up later and later each day to vote.
Once per day but allowing just over 12 hours per votes is meant to deal with that 24-hour-voting rule situation; it is NOT meant to enable multiple votes per time that you log onto CFC.
If you seriously see yourself being online CFC for a more than 12 hour stretch which ALSO happens across both noon and midnight, all the power to you: you are one of the rare exceptions in this world. For the rest of us mortals, the once-per-day plus 12-hour-minimum rule does an effective job of making it so that people vote only once per day between sleep sessions.
6 hours is gimped; anyone who doesn't have parents telling them to go to bed can log on just after work/school and then again just after midnight in what is for that person the same day: they haven't gone to bed yet. I'm sorry, but that idea just doesn't fly in the face of the intention of letting you vote once per day, where we define a day as more realistically broken up by your sleep and not by time zones, but since people's sleep patterns can vary, it is easier to write rules the way that they are written while still capturing the spirit of the game.
6 hours is just going to lead to the same shenanigans that got everyone up in arms. Anyone that supports it is already thinking of how they can abuse the system. Forget it. Separate days PLUS a 12 hour minimum effectively does the trick without punishing people into staying up later and later each day like a 24 hour minimum does. End of discussion.

As for the colours--the specific versions of the colours are just recommended, not enforced. It's a lot easier to read the thread if we stick to the same format. It's hard to keep track of the flow of the game when some people pick hard-to-see colours. If we give people a recommended version, then those who don't care are more likely to be consistent with each other, making the game easier to follow. Those who want to be creative can still be creative. That is all.
