My words exactly. But I'm not even supposed to understand since I'm not American...

If the player lapsed, the filibuster would end. Until the filibuster ceased, votes could not be cast.
I say this sounds really interesting, the only problem being that I am afraid it will be horribly complicated. Also, some players would really like to filibuster just for the sake of it, even if they had no other reason to! (Like me Yay!) But then, filibustering does not have much sense in other time than around DL, which would again mean that half of the players would actually miss that Of course us Europeans could mess around the time when the rest of the Europeans votes, or anybody could start to filibuster after somebody (not very cleverly) says "I have to rush in half an our, but will post yet and cast my vote meanwhile". But that's still nothing much set, and especially when the times when us Europeans may go to sleep may differ greatly. (However, it will be in this case really about the thing who will get annoyed earlier: whether the filibuster, or the voter who would just ignore and go to sleep )
