I don't know that I could agree with you that it's "by design," when the setup option allows for BM'd players to talk during trial.

I do have a suggestion though, and you guys tell me if I have something wrong with my logic on this one:
[color=#CCCC22]What about making a parameter that allows players to only change their vote three times for every voting opportunity?[/color]

Here's what I mean: Day 1 starts, and after discussion, each player can only change vote three times and cancel their vote three times. Let's say a player goes to trial and is voted NOT guilty. The day continues, and the variable is reset for each player, so they can vote and cancel another three times.

This would prevent spam, and in the case of BM, the BM'd player would not want to waste the amount of times he can vote/cancel. It might take a bit of extra coding, but another tiny window could be put up above the chat box that says "Remaining Votes: 3 - Cancels: 3"
If they click to vote someone, it'll read "Remaining Votes 2 - Cancels: 3"
If they don't cancel, but click to vote someone else, it'll read: "Remaining Votes 1- Cancels 2"

Again, this could be altered, but it's just an initial idea to prevent vote spamming, not just with blackmails, but in general (concerning trolls). It would also give the game a bit more suspense in being carefully selective with how you vote.

(Or you could make this another setting for a saved setup. Allow people the option to limit the amount of votes/cancels each player can make with each new voting session.)

[QUOTE=Dark.Revenant;432483]@Gyver That option would cause more confusion, if anything. Also, it would be a right pain in the ass to implement because of the dozens and dozens of untestable bugs that would happen.[/QUOTE]
But it's the difficult stuff that is typically worth doing. That's what's made your game so great... the extra effort you've put into polishing it. And you know were always here to help you with bug testing and reporting.
