well, no, because we can't respond until we get an action, at which point we could just shock whatever it is anyway.

We can't intelligently respond but the bulbs could be set to automatically shock things on contact. That is the defensive part. It needs no input from us and can happen between cycles.

in these cases we can only vote once, so remember to remove your old vote.

As far as I can tell that limit only applies to the 'a' strain.

Oops, I appear to have accidentally removed a vote for a-1. Sorry about that.

This voting system is highly inefficient and error prone.

I think this was the first error(and an easily spotted one, by just skimming). There shouldnt be any errors, unless you somehow fail at copy-pasting or write the wrong thing accidentally.

And I dont see how its inefficient. The alternative is that I spend half an hour tallying up votes, and then another half hour checking if I counted right and if I should combine two suggestions or not. And that isnt counting the time I spend avoiding having to tally up the votes.

But it makes it more difficult to just do whatever you want and pretend that you miscounted...

Why did you guys move the vote counts over to the left? It looks more confusing now.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

My bad, I figured that in this version the votes would all be in the same place and the descriptions would all start in the same place, where as the alternative has the votes all over...
