That was intentional - the idea is to encourage people to agree on 
something (hence the week long thing) but if not risk that they might 
not get it their way.

That should probably be corrected, perhaps "by selecting one of the 
gamestates proposed" - although then everyone proposes they win as a 
state. Perhaps they have to pick between the two gamestates that have 
got the most votes so far.

Also I should probably make it that a player can only have be voteing 
for zero or one interpretation at a point in time.
