This is why I hate vote trading, especially in rounds that start in the morning before I wake up.

I'm definitely going to implement vote trading rules in the future.

Oh, rip me being slow. No one else I really care to save afraid.

How these types of topic often end up going from what I've seen.

I agree, the fact that there's so much trading does kind of suck. But in this late stage, there's a decent chance that a round will just completely grind to a halt because everyone's saved the characters they care about and they don't want to save anyone else because it'll risk their own picks. If Ike, Tatsumaki, and Yuna weren't safe already and I couldn't trade to get more saves for them, then I sure as hell wouldn't be saving anyone else.

In the future, I'd like to see how a contest that specifically forbids in-topic vote trading would actually go. Maybe the next contest (whatever it is) can be a test run for that. I could be completely wrong in what I think would happen. Who knows?

Here's a proposal: ban vote trading, but also set a time limit on how long a round can go. If a round is so slow that it doesn't end in a certain amount of time (6 hours after the first post, maybe?) then the character with the fewest saves at that time is eliminated. If multiple characters are tied for the fewest at that time, then either use a random number generator to decide which one goes out or just eliminate them all at once.

A timer would probably be a good way to do it. Lowest votes is out after 24 hours or something, as 6 hours means one could easily be missed by someone sleeping or at work.

Or if there are multiple characters tied for the fewest, then whichever got the last vote gets ousted.

I support the timer idea plus the tiebreaker being which one was saved last. I will say that 6 hours feels like too little, but 24 is too much.

My idea is no vote trading until 3 saves are needed and not until there's a certain number left in a round. Like 10 left for the earlier rounds, and 5 left for the later. That way, if your character is still there, you can ask for trades to help them.

So it would still be allowed, but limited to only near the end of the round. That could work. What happens if a round is so slow that it doesn't even reach that far and stalls with like 12-15 left unsaved?

@Kajagogo I saved Storm in post 70. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

Also, in case Kaja didn't recognize this as a save and just thought it was a suggestion:

Well I guess I'd play it by ear allow it then. But like you said, it would be a trial run for the next contest.
