Well, I didn't say which one. Also, I don't read SELL (5VP) like that at all. The obvious, and only equitable meaning, is that BobTHJ filed a sell ticket for 5VP, and then voted 5 times as required by the ticket; SELL (5VP) is a vote to endorse a player who pays 5VP, and multiplying that by 5 is 5 votes to endorse a player who pays 5VP. This was obviously BobTHJ's intention, as e was clearly trying to persuade me to bribe em and a bribe of 25VP for 5 votes would clearly be way above the amount I was willing to pay. (Contrast my 8VP for 8 votes bribe with Taral.) The intention of the voter is what matters in determining a vote. If there were in fact 5 tickets, I didn't fill any of them, because I specified that I was filling "the ticket" not "a ticket". -- ais523

CoE: Despite your earlier claim, BobTHJ only voted once on P5707. The
final count was therefore 16 FOR, 16 AGAINST, resulting in an outcome
of REJECTED.
BobTHJ's exact vote was "SELL(5VP) x5". This is five sell tickets,
each corresponding to a single vote, not one sell ticket corresponding
to five votes. However, ais523 only filled one of these tickets: "I
fill BobTHJ's open sell ticket on proposal 5707, causing em to endorse
me on that vote and therefore vote SELLx5."
