Wow that's too bad the fudge is out already. I would have voted for that over some of my own.

This doesn't seem all that fair... but whatever.

Seems fair enough to me - they all benefitted from a vote being discounted last round.

I'd rather you not discount your votes, and we have a tie be broken from the outside. Then we could avoid a situation where something just gets eliminated because it gets tied twice in a row.

Your tournament though, so do whatever you want.

I don't understand why you don't vote. Just because there might be ties? That's a possibility in every tournament we do, and if that's how it goes, we've always been able to get a tie broken without somebody making themselves sit out.

Nothing much to understand really - there'll be no ties needing breaking in this one if I can help it

Can't wait to see how what I've planned for deciding the winner of this tournament goes down
