Hello Gary.
Vox Populi is meant to be a large scale game, with large numbers of
people, that tests group dynamics and makes a game more accessible to
people to be able to have a metagame they follow.  There is definite room
for the team chess version, along with the Player vs The World.  Vox
Populi is meant to offer a chance for large numbers to compete against one
another at a game, that test their mind and other things also.  It won't
be for everyone, but I think it is good to give it thought.

Let's say that some company wants to sponsor an event involving large
numbers playing a game like chess or checkers.  Vox Populi allows you to
have a very large number compete at a game, without the need for a
grandmaster involved.  It also works as a side thing to use in game
shows.

As for the CV site, Vox could prove to be an interesting way for the entire site to play one game together.  It could be a way also to test uneven armies.  The main thing here is to see where it can be used.  Like a tool set, it isn't meant to be used everywhere and at all times.
