If there's a tie between several moves, I'll pick one of them at random.Also, what happens when people fail to vote? Move with highest votes wins?

If there's a consensus on one move, then that move will be played immediately and you'll get the extra time to use later on in the form of extensions, if you need them.Pretty sure we have a consensus in regards to the first move...

It's not as if the strength of a consultation team is determined by the average strength of its individual players; on the contrary, it will tend to be stronger than any of them. Even if Player A is a weaker player overall than player B, he may sometimes spot a move that Player B has missed. Since there's no cap on the size of either team, it's not as if you'd be occupying a spot that could have gone to someone else, either. As for the voting, if you listen to what other people are saying and cast an informed vote based on their arguments, then you certainly won't be dragging down the team. At worst, if there's a tight race between two moves and you don't feel qualified to pick, you can always abstain from a particular vote.I'd be interested in joining a team as on observer aswell, if that's possible. Definately not a good enough player to contribute, but I'd really like to learn from a team's thought process!  If you change your mind about voting, just post again in this thread or PM me. | ||

In fact I'd be surprised if there weren't a fair bit of turnover in the rosters of active players on each team over the course of the months that it takes to play a game like this.Can i still participate? | ||

With jampidampi's addition to the roster of Team Black, the game has officially started. If you're on Team White, post your vote for move 1 in this thread, or PM it to me, if you'd rather keep your vote under wraps. If you want to change your vote, put the updated vote in a new post/PM—only the last version of your vote before the vote closes will be counted. Voting closes in three days or when one move gets an absolute majority of the vote. | ||
