# Voting
> Propose and pass in-game rule changes through the chat-based voting system.
Players can propose changes to the game rules at any time during a match by typing a chat command. If enough players agree within the voting window, the change takes effect immediately.
## How voting works
Any player types a vote command in all-chat (e.g., `-antirat`). The game announces the proposal to all players.
A **10-second** window opens. All connected players cast their vote — the system counts the total active player count automatically.
The number of approvals is measured against a required percentage. Some votes require **100%** agreement; others need only **50%** or **70%** depending on the map and the vote type.
If the threshold is met, the rule change is applied immediately and a global announcement is broadcast. If the threshold is not met, the vote fails silently and can be re-proposed.
Most votes can only be passed once per game. Attempting to start a vote that has already passed shows an error message.

## Voteable rules
The table below lists every vote available in-game. **Threshold** shows the percentage of players who must approve the vote. The `all_allowed` map uses relaxed thresholds for some votes; standard maps require 100% for those same votes.
| Chat command | Alias | What it does | Threshold (standard) | Threshold (`all_allowed`) |
| ----------------- | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `-antirat` | `-ar` | Enables anti-rat protection. Tier 3 towers cannot be destroyed until all outer towers are gone. | 100% | 50% |
| `-doublecreeps` | `-dc` | Doubles all neutral creep camp spawns (`neutralMultiply = 2`). | 100% | 70% |
| `-enablecheat` | `-ec` | Enables cheat mode for all players, unlocking all cheat commands. | 100% | 100% |
| `-enablekamikaze` | `-ek` | Disables the anti-kamikaze mechanic. No penalty for dying 3 times within 60 seconds. | 100% | 100% |
| `-enablebuilder` | `-eb` | Unlocks the in-game hero builder so players can change their build mid-game. A 30-second penalty applies if both teams have active players. | 100% | 100% |
| `-enablerespawn` | `-er` | Disables the escalating respawn time mechanic. Respawn rates no longer increase after 40 minutes. | 100% | 100% |
| `-enablefat` | `-ef` | Starts the Fat-O-Meter mechanic (`useFatOMeter = 2`). | 100% | 50% |
| `-enablerefresh` | — | Enables cooldown refresh on death. | 100% | 50% |
| `-switchteam` | — | Moves the proposing player to the other team. Only available when the game detects a team imbalance or in single-player mode. Requires only 50% approval if the game is under 20 minutes old. | 100% | — |
`-switchteam` is only available to the player on the larger team (or when `Ingame.needsTeamBalance` is true). It cannot be proposed at game time 0.

## Threshold differences by map
The `all_allowed` map is designed for relaxed, permissive play. To reflect that, several votes that normally require unanimous agreement pass at a lower threshold:
```lua theme={null}
-- From commands.lua
util:CreateVoting(
"lodVotingAntirat",
playerID,
10, -- voting window in seconds
OptionManager:GetOption('mapname') == 'all_allowed' and 50 or 100,
function() ... end
)
```
Only `-enablecheat`, `-enablekamikaze`, `-enablebuilder`, and `-enablerespawn` always require 100% regardless of map — these are considered consequential enough to need full agreement.

## Cheat commands (after cheat mode is enabled)
Once cheat mode is active (either via `-enablecheat` vote or automatically in single-player mode), additional commands become available to all players:
