In the Vote Chess male bs female game, the males just played a move that results in the position appearing for the third time. Simultainious with this move, we offered a draw. Now it's the female's turn, and the game is still going on. (They now have a draw claim button, apparently.)
It could easily happen that the females who want a draw split the vote between claiming the draw and repeating the position yet again so we can claim it, and they make some other move; so by the time it gets back to us, the threefold no longer applies, resulting in the males not being able to claim a legally drawn position!
Please change it so when this sort of thing happens, the system changes the draw offer to a draw claim, and the game ends. In OTB, a player can claim a draw in that situation simply by writing his move on his scoresheet and saying he wants the draw. I would say that voting for the drawing move and "offering" a draw at the same time, is the same thing.
David, if You do refer to a game, put always the link there.
