Question:
What happens to a player's turn count if they win but have not sent in both pieces of information?
If a player does not send in both pieces of information (let's call him inactive) and wins the vote, that inactive player's turn count does indeed increase by one. Likewise, the person who takes that inactive player's turn increases his turn count by one. So if the winner of the vote (say with 2 votes) did not send in a vote, that person's turn count still increases by one. Then, the vote passes to the next player (say with 1 vote) who did in fact send in a vote. That player's turn count increases by one, and he also flips over the cards he chose to flip.
In the event of a tie for the first place, if one of the tied players is inactive, that person is ignored for tiebreakers. So if first place was tied between an active and an inactive (say with 1 vote each), then first place would be won by the active, and the inactive would not take a turn penalty. If first place was instead tied between two inactives (say with 1 vote each), then both would take a turn penalty, and it would continue to the next person, and so on and so forth until someone was actually active.
In the event of everyone going inactive, you will all be fined 1 Poker Chip. If this happens 3 times, the game ends. Of course, I highly doubt that that will happen.
I believe this covers most, if not all, of the inactivity scenarios relating to the turn count. If not, I'm always open to more questions!
