Y es, un the sense that if you are invited, someone uninvites you, then you can plus one yourself.
But if you bring a plus one they can me minus one'd and you can't do anything to prevent it.
No, self-votes should not count because then everyone will just self-vote and no actual consensus building is taking place.
If you get downvoted, hope that you have at least one friend who cares about you being there
If you self vote, you don't get to bring anyone. Even with self voting you can get -1'd twice. Otherwise you can +1 your date, the you get -1'd and your date goes alone. Which has a high likelihood of meaning that they won't go either
Hmmm this is actually pretty genius.
If you think someone might not want you, but you really want to be there, plus one yourself.
But if two or more people minus one you, then you're still not going.
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
