$chip++ while $votes_remaining--, even if the gods restore your XP; this is to fight evil.

It sounds like the gods will take care of the immediate problem, but for the future (and for other monks), these might help non-gods see patterns in voting:

• XP Charts at PM Stats
• In PerlMonks.org Related Scripts, the script Quickrep and its relatives report changes in XP, on a per-node basis. Place in cron and run hourly.

Thank you very much ... though I'm afraid your code snippet will leave you with negative $votes_remaining. :-)

Seems people will always be tripping over the --$var vs. $var-- subtlety where do and while enter the picture...
