Holly shit I do not know how you managed to read my message. I had auto correct set to Spanish.
I was picturing something realtime. You get an app where you can type your +1 and you get a list of all the guests. You tap someone you get to -1 them. At any point you might get a notification hat you have been -1'd and you can go +1 yourself and bring no one. If you are not +1ing your self then your +1 can get -1'd in which case you can't invite someone else (I'd love to make it so that you can change your +1 to someone else but then the other person might change their -1 to the new person and it turn into a cycle, or -1 are permanent and prone to abuse)
As a fun option you can sell your -1 if you don't plan on using it
This would be better done without interaction, but blind voting.
Otherwise there’s no incentive to vote first. You want to save the +1 for yourself as long as possible. Which means nobody will RSVP or bring a +1.
I can't believe you went through all my poorly written bran issues.
You are right. It should not be real time
Doesn’t need to be real time, just secret. You send a reply to the host with your wishes until a specified deadline. The host then opens all envelopes at once and figures out the guest list. Like an election.
