[White] Team Spell Chess - Vote for Your Move (Responses)

[Black] Team Spell Chess - Vote for Your Move (Responses)

I've decided to make the votes public to avoid my team (white) from having an unfair advantage due to me (the game host and player on the white team) being able to see the opposing team's votes early.

My original rationale with making the response spreadsheets private to their respective teams was that I didn't want the opposing team to be able to see what moves their opposition voted for that didn't end up actually getting played. (For example, maybe there is a piece sacrifice move like Bxf2 that some players voted for, but ultimately wasn't chosen, but it would end up being a valid good move on a future turn.) This seemed like it was unfairly being able to see into the mind of your opponent.

However, another consideration that has now lead me to decide to make the votes public is that since I personally can see both team's responses spreadsheets and need to check black's votes regularly to see if they've played their move, this gives me insight into what move they will likely play before it is our turn, potentially giving my team over 24 hours to decide on a move.
