No, you count the numbers, and you don't put a number against ABSTAIN.
So you only have n votes, but you can abstain as many times as you
like.  Conversely you can spend all n votes on one proposal...
Do you think I need to make that clearer?

Bugger.  Sorry.

Well, of course.  Just raises the bar a tad, really.  And hopefully
makes the Vote Bank look a bit more like the bad guy...

Oh!  You know, that was an objection I had not considered?  How many
votes do you think we should start off with, then?  If I can get one
vote for this crazy thing just by changing that, I certainly will...!

Hadn't thought of that.  Actually I thought that by making the rule
self-destruct I was keeping the ruleset *tidy*.  ::sigh::

Let me know how many votes you think we should get at the start and
I'll submit an update....


Optional.
