A comment on these rules. In a prior round I was under the belief that one is disqualified if one doesn't vote. Above it says 3 points are lost from the total. I suggest going with disqualifying. Users (myself included) (or perhaps especially) may flake out or disappear, which would leave the game hanging if they were ahead by more than three.

I like some flexibility here in the haiku zone, so I don't mean 9pm FWFR Wednesday or die... I just mean if you're the only user who's not in there within a "reasonable" range of all the others, by the following morning for instance, that's it. Say 4 laggers were messaged Wednesday night, 3 laggers get votes in by Thursday morning... and the host is ready to count Thursday afternoon. In that case, I'd say disqualify Lagger No. 4.

Any thoughts on this?
