Vote chess game idea

One side has access to a message board to discuss their moves and all that jazz, while the other side has no access to % of votes or a group message board.

Not sure what you would call the sides though.  And I think it is clear who would win, but it would be interesting to see how long the anarchy side lasted.

I think it would be even better if both sides didn't have access to a message board or percentages and it would be if you like black or white better (for sides). Then it would be interesting to see the popularity of some moves and styles that are the most popular among our players. Since nobody has access to discuss and doesn't know what othe rpeople voted (assuming nobody messages each other what to vote), each person would have to vote based on their own judgement. ^_^

Indeed, that would be an interesting experiment as well.

I just find it interesting that in every vote chess game I check in on, there are a bunch of people on one side or another that complain that x number of people are voting before any discussion is being conducted.  I think it would be good if these people could play against the people that annoy them so much.

This should be a vote chess game. People who vote without discussion vs. those who vote as a team

Thats like exactly what I was thinking!

well actually it'd be more like vote without discussion vs. people who listen to the gm people and vote what they say XD, but yeah; interesting ideas. I wonder if erik's reading this =o

It would be interesting to see a lobby feature as well... so without necessarily voting for a move you advocate for say 12.NxQ and people can join the lobby for that move showing they believe it is the best move, that way it is clear how many people are going for a specific strategy etc.  Also it means that people arn't bound to an early misplaced vote or some such other silly thing.

 Not sure if this feature would even be necessary but I imagine that in the larger vote chess games such a feature COULD be handy.

These are interesting idea's . I like the idea of the no discussion vote game. Then everybody has to decide what to do. Then there is no discussionpossible and there is no list of players so you can not send group messages.

It would be VERY interesting to see all the chosen moves at the end of it.  Provided you had a large enough body of good players, voting with no knowledge of how the other players were voting the number of potential games that could have been played at any given stage could be staggering.

 

Just got home from work, very tired, having a glass of wine. Apologies if I ramble incoherently
