The actual wording of the contract does not agree with you. "A vote of SELL(X - Y) on an Agoran decision is equivalent to posting a Sell Ticket with a cost of X and voting to endorse the filler of that ticket...." 5 votes of SELL(X - Y), then, is plainly equivalent to posting 5 Sell Tickets. > This was obviously BobTHJ's intention, as e was clearly trying to persuade me > to bribe em and a bribe of 25VP for 5 votes would clearly be way above the > amount I was willing to pay. (Contrast my 8VP for 8 votes bribe with Taral.) I posted a similar vote, and my intention really was 15 VP for 3 votes. If Taral is cheaper, that's up to em. > The intention of the voter is what matters in determining a vote. Um, no. The announcement of the vote is what matters in determining a vote. If I accidentally vote FOR when I intended to vote AGAINST, then I'm just out of luck. > If there were in fact 5 tickets, I didn't fill any of them, because I > specified that I was filling "the ticket" not "a ticket". Possibly. Either way, you didn't fill enough of them. -root
