What host name do you use to access Idle’s boards? I get different behavior sometimes depending on whether I hit [http://idlemafia.com/](http://idlemafia.com/) or not (I honestly can’t remember the actual proboards hostname). ---

Thanks for checking on my account, Pleo. I _should_ be activated, as I always do the email confirmation thing, so that’s an additional bit of weirdness. Cookies, I tried it both from your link after clearing my cookies and cache, and still no dice. I’m currently using my phone… maybe my laptop will fare better. We’ll see! Thanks for trying to help, guys. It’s either a pro board thing or my phone, since its affecting two unrelated pro boards. ---

Wombat says its a known issue between AT&T and proboards. Good to know I’m not just an idiot! (Although one should never rule out that possibility! :)) ---

Posting from my iPod touch. As I saw upthread others are having problems as well. My kindle keyboard was flaky (telling me the board can’t be loaded by the kindle, when I know it can) on the boards yesterday or the day before. A delay is fine with me. I plan to have Internet at my apartment this week, otherwise I will use free wi fi where I can. Will keep you posted. ---

Right - sending PMs today, even if it kills me. In order to accelerate the start of the game, I’m going to cut down the background color that I usually write into the PMs; if I have to dedicate the time to finishing those, the game won’t start for a week. ---

Just so I understand, there’s no strategy talk here during the night, and on the scum boards there’s no strategy talk during the day? ---

I’ll try this again… [Quote=storyteller] Players may have any number of active votes at any time (you’re welcome, Pleo). [/quote] It’s been a while since I’ve played and maybe this is the standard nowadays, but can you clarify this for me? If I have 10 active votes do they all count towards vote totals? ---

IANAS, but I believe the answer is yes. You can’t have more than one vote on any one player at a given time, but you can have votes down on 10 different players at that same time and they’d all show up in the vote count. At least that is my understanding. ---

You can’t have more than one vote on any one player at a given time, but you can have votes down on 10 different players at that same time and they’d all show up in the vote count. At least that is my understanding. That sums it up (sorry, Diver, missed the question the first time). You can’t vote twice for one player (I mean, you _can_, but it’ll only count once), but you can have an active vote for every player in the game, yourself included, if that seems helpful to you for some reason. ---
