It seems apropos…
...to note that there is now a new version of Alethio-Sparrow-script (can anyone think of a less painful name for it than that?) available, which incorporates a settings menu that allows you, among other things, to set the name of the current emperor for vote counts. This one also doesn’t count the proposer as a FOR vote on posts that aren’t proposals. (Sorry for edit, but ‘Quick Save’ doesn’t do what I thought it did.) The script is available here.

Shortening it to an acronym of A.S.S. doesn’t seem to help any. :\
AS-Script, perhaps?
tecslicer:
Yeah the quick save thing is weird.
Josh:
Alerro.
Klisz:
alethioscript, perhaps?

BLACK HOLE OF WIN, by the way.

Thank you for the vote of confidence. Do try not to leave it set to yourself as Emperor—it might overinflate your ego, as well as making your adminning decisions suspect.
Kevan:
Nice work.
One minor issue with the Emperor-processing is that it doesn’t seem to work for the Emperor’s own proposals, though (where they haven’t explicitly cast a vote).
alethiophile:
Yeah, I noticed that. For some reason, also, it’s not logging yabbaguy’s self-kill on Lives proposal. I’ll try to fix those soon.

I think this should somehow be adapted into the templates. It shouldn’t be too hard, right?
