Just clicking into the forum, I see "Voting thread" and "second vote" and had to figure out where to vote. Will there be a new thread each week? Is 'voting thread' the old one and we'll always use that one? I think something like "Voting Thread: Day 2" being opened once voting beings would be wise. Or maybe "Voting Discussion: Day 2" and "Voting Thread: Day 2" so there's a place to talk and a place to simply cast your vote.
Normally I don't have too many issues staying organized but I've had a hard time navigating the forums. I guess there's really only an in-game discussion thread then a voting thread, right? I guess I'm just proposing better naming methods. The two themes on this site are very hard on the eyes which I think just makes it even more difficult.
I think part of the problem is also me being so new to the game. More time will help me stay more organized I think. This is insanely fun so far.

Perhaps each week should start with a new voting thread that opens 36 hours before the day is done?

What would be easiest?

I think having just two threads would be fine: Daily Discussion, Daily Voting. Keep it simple. Maybe turn off the option for players to create new threads and force them to use one of those two?
I second Will's sentiment. This shit is fun!

We'd have threads with so so many pages if were just confined to two options.

There is a webssite called remind.com. It's a good way to send out reminders and messages. Maybe you can use it text message blast voting?

Having a noon Sunday deadline seems to not work well.

Having a noon Sunday deadline seems to not work well. I was actually thinking it was noon because of one post in the forums and I missed my chance to vote. Doesn't seem like it would have mattered though. Then I noticed on the homepage it did indeed say 11am PST but it was so small! We really need to vote someone out before the villains get too much of a 'lead'

Now both Will and Mike said they missed the vote deadline but intended to vote. Really, not voting first week made sense but we can't continue to not vote. The villains will just pick us off one by one.
Perhaps Sunday at midnight for voting?

There are 5 calendar days to vote. Just put your vote in early and then change it if need be

Just put your vote in early and then change it if need be I think that the problem is that folks don't want to vote early and get a target on their back for the rest of the week. People want to wait to the last minute but when they can't remember the last minute, they end up missing to vote altogether.

I'll start sending out reminder emails the evening before the deadline.

Changing subject slightly - are we planning to use the same voting thread throughout the game? It will end up with a huge number of pages which can be irksome to navigate.

I'll think about it. When I was studying we did all the discussion and voting in one thread total, for the whole game. So I can say it didn't get unmanageable then, but this might be different
