Based on some work I was doing with JP “Skwerl” C, I found/remembered/was-embarassed-by Zone-voting ignoring possibilities of duplicate aliases as a default behavior.

This might have been cool before, but it’s out of fashion now. In fact, I find so many customers duping their nicknames, I wonder if there’s some advice on the ‘net suggesting it’s a good practice. Understandably, these are labels being extracted from zone names, so I cannot claim to be the ivory tower of accuracy or best-practice.

Inspection-worthy units have a more difficult time passing combat.

In this revision, I converted ZoneVote to default to allowing dupes; highlights some mismatched assumptions in test cases. see also “Zone Vote is only an approximation” 🙂
