The wording of the fractional vote (and i understand why) almost suggests that if it is not your proposal, you could cast 1/2 your vote FOR, with 1/2 AGAINST, or 75/25, etc. I could support the proposal's passing, yet still be awarded points for voting against. This is a moot point if it is determined that it cannot be interpreted this way. --[[User:Tucana25|Tucana25]] 12:09, 6 December 2006 (EST)<!--END DEBATE--> | The wording of the fractional vote (and i understand why) almost suggests that if it is not your proposal, you could cast 1/2 your vote FOR, with 1/2 AGAINST, or 75/25, etc. I could support the proposal's passing, yet still be awarded points for voting against.

[[207]] says each player always has exactly one vote; it doesn't say that player can't split his vote or divide it as he wishes. It could be argued, I suppose, that if you're casting votes both for and against a measure, you're actually casting two votes, each of which is some fraction of a vote (Half a vote FOR, Half a vote AGAINST is actually voting twice, or casting two votes, which would be illegal). It's pretty shaky to base a concept on wording that shaky, so perhaps a rule is needed stating that players may not divide individual votes into fractions of votes, unless specifically allowed by the rules.

- The troubling thing is, I can find nothing in the wording of the rules to prevent this scenario. 207 says each player always has exactly one vote; it doesn't say that player can't split his vote or divide it as he wishes. It could be argued, I suppose, that if you're casting votes both for and against a measure, you're actually casting two votes, each of which is some fraction of a vote (Half a vote FOR, Half a vote AGAINST is actually voting twice, or casting two votes, which would be illegal). It's pretty shaky to base a concept on wording that shaky, so perhaps a rule is needed stating that players may not divide individual votes into fractions of votes, unless specifically allowed by the rules. 69.94.170.131 12:56, 6 December 2006 (EST)
