Doh. Retractables. I knew that, but old habits of checking vote timing and making lists die hard, you know.

Shall I attempt to keep my list updated? Probably not.

Poor Kath, who met her unfortunate, although slightly ironic, ‘downfall’ in the form of a plummeting reptile. Although this tragedy is quite appalling, we must move on to better aid the village.

As far as keeping track of votes, it seems like it would be beneficial to keep track of all of the votes… regardless of weather they may change or not. So maybe the end list could look something like this:

1. A > B (B - 1)
2. F > G (B – 1, G - 1)
3. A > G (B – 1 retracted, G - 2)
4. Z > B (B – 1, B – 1 retracted, G - 2)

Does that sound like a good idea? I have never used retractable votes before so if someone has a better idea we should use it. It just seems like it is better than changing the whole list each time and it also gives us an idea of how votes have changed over each day.

The updated list for today would be:
1. Boromir --> Spawn (Spawn - 1)
2. SPM -> Feanor (Spawn - 1, Feanor - 1)
3. Boromir -> SPM (Spawn – R1, Feanor -1, SPM -1)

The R instead of the word retracted seemed less confusing.

But actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.
