Thanks, seems to be a minor consensus :). In that case, we *have* treated CREAMPUFF votes incorrectly as using up voting power (not that I can think of a vote where it made a difference, I can't think of anything in recent memory where someone split votes between invalid and valid options). Well it answered the main question (ineligible players' votes - Murphy and Henri - clearly don't count) so one more thing about the proposal system to clarify via proposal, if only for my sake...
