genisu as you catch up... please i think i speak for most of us here: we would much rather you take your time at deadline making sure all the votes are correct, as opposed to trying to go quickly and relying on our unofficial votecounts. i'd much rather you go through all pages since your last vote count and take an additional hour or two to count the votes than move quickly to get results out and potentially make a mistake
my recommendation: use the AG method! have a list of players, and move backwards in the thread. whenever you see a vote, mark it down, then ignore that player for the rest of your search. because the first vote you'll see starting from the end will always be the latest vote, you never have to worry about any previous voting behavior. mark down if someone unvoted as their last vote too, since the act of unvoting is the final voting behavior and people can end off of a vote at the end of a day.
i know you've expressed uncertainty about going through every single page and post, and that's understandable, but i'd recommend it genuinly - it's the only way to gain hosting experience managing votecounts, and the last thing anyone in this game wants is someone cutting corners for convenience and the wrong person gets flipped.
thank you for hosting as always!!
