Hi. Iteresting idea, I like long chess parties.) Let me in too.)

I have several thoughts.
1. We can allow to vote for several moves, I think it is more correct variant.
2. May be we should vote for the strategy for several moves before we vote for the move?
3. I think that if TS is world class player, we can't win or even survive just defending our position, we should attack in some point no matter how week our position in other points, it is the only way to have a chance to win. ) So, I like Ng5 or h4: play fast, die young.)

What do you think about this? Sorry if I missed some discussions in this topic about this ideas.)

I like your idea of voting for a strategy several moves in advance. Our opponent obviously has a strategy and thinks many moves ahead. We should try to do the same.

Our best strategy is probably to focus on the middle of the board. We need to advance our e or d pawns and make an open file for our rooks. Our opponents strategy will probably be to attack us by advancing his c pawn after moving a rook to c8. If we can find a way to fight in the center and defend on the queenside at the same time that would be ideal.

Its unlikely your strategy of Ng5 or h4 will work. Even if our pawn was not on d3 blocking our queen on the b1-h7 diagonal, h7 is still well defended by blacks knight on f6 so Ng5 does not really do anything besides trading our g2 bishop for the bishop on b7. What is your idea with h4? I don't see how that would help us attack
