I'm locking this thread as the poll appears to have broken. I reposted here:

We can't change our vote 
WTF?? The option to change our vote disappeared for me too. I don't know how to get it back.

You 90%-ers will never get consensus at that level. Come down to 75% for the good of us all!! 
i think we can do it and there's still time, i'll switch to 75% last min.
Exactly, all we need is a last minute switch at the end to the winner to hit 90%, and this is why I believe 90% is definitely achievable and why I vote for 90% and everyone else should too.
But that's assuming that
(a) there is less than 10% trolls
(b) that nearly everyone who voted will be paying attention when the deadline draws near
Is it worth the risk of not achieving consensus for just better odds of a payout (80% rather than 50%)?

If the 8 people at 90% move to 75% then we will have the required vote (but we still need to wait for 40 people in total).
However, if the 2 people at 75% move to 90% then we still can't overcome the dissenters.
I think 75% is the safer bet to ensure we ratify.

I corrected an ambiguity. I had the poll closing in 48 hours but wrote 24 in the post. I made it all consistent with when the poll closes (48 hours).

ok I'm at 90% then. if I win send my coins to Sean's outpost
Why not come to 75% and bring everyone else at 90% with you? This way we can overcome the dissenters with trollish votes at 50 and 55%!
Notice that the trolls do not even bother to provide an address and thus have no incentive for consensus. They do indeed seek only chaos lol
I think is all a very interesting experiment and am eager to learn of the results in two days. I think 90% can be reached! We shall see!

I'm picking 90%. My addy: 16mT7jrpkjnJBD7a3TM2awyxHub58H6r6Z
Peter change your vote to 90%!!
I don't know. I think there will be trolls that try to screw up the experiment and 90% will be too hard to achieve. Or people that just forget to come back and change their vote. I think you guys should change to 75%!! We still get a decent pay out with 75% consensus.
What would the incentive of the trolls be? They stand to have a chance at winning free bitcoin if they help achieve consensus, and the chance is greater if they help achieve 90% consensus. They have no incentive to block consensus. Come over the light side and join us at 90%!
Hahaha true. Rational trolls would still vote to help achieve consensus. But are trolls rational? But yourself in the shoes of a troll. They want to cause chaos!
I will stick to 75% for now but may change my vote later.
Remember, we need at least 40 votes in total. At 90% we can only have 4 dissenters. At 75% we can have 10 dissenters and still win bitcoins.
