Though I will also say that I think buying votes-even if it isn't technically cheating is just cheap. And makes for a hollow victory. That being said, Future drafts should definitely mark that no one in a team may buy votes, anyone caught doing so, will be kicked from their team-and if a captain does it, they are disqualified.
I have to look back through, but I'm pretty sure that game rules apply as it is a game approved and supported event. Cheating is a game rule violation.
If buying votes isn't cheating, then fake rum accounts should be allowed too to vote. Yeah that happened during a previous draft. Also against the rules.
Yeah, id' have to check too honestly. Hadn't thought about that, and if you are correct then, yes, it would indeed be against the rules. Regardless, if it is, or isn't, it should be stated in all future drafts that it is indeed against the rules and can lead to being DQ.
