I thought that redactions imply that.

In case of ties, the player who reached the most votes

will be eliminated
I just noticed this (and it's in the rules so it's how plurality should work in this game) but this is actually not the standard implementation of plurality.

Standard is most recently highest:

If A is at four and B is at three then someone unvotes A, A would be on the chopping block.
If A and B are at 2 and someone votes A then someone votes B, A would be on the chopping block.


I'm only bringing this up because I thought I'd explained that in the setup thread before game start, but apparently I hadn't. If you were aware of this but chose to implement plurality the other way that is also fine, I just like being informative.
I'm a little confused by your example I underlined.

A got to 3 first, then B got to 3. Using my rule, A is limmed (most votes
first
). Using most recently highest, B should be limmed as B's 4 votes is more "recent" than A's 4 votes.

My idea was to give more agency to players voting first, and to force more interactions between players if they want to change the elimination target.
Most recently highest is you rewind time until there isn't a tie, and then lim based on who would have been highest there among your tied players (continuing the process after dropping players if there's a tie)

Your ruleset, as I understand it would allow for the following situation: A gets 4 votes out of the gate. B then gets four votes. Everyone unvotes A. A gets run up to 4 again. A would then be the lim, because A was the first person to reach 4 votes that phase.

oh okay, then the 2 rulesets are actually the same. The "most recent highest" and "most votes first" should be same in spirit when they should really just be "look at the most recent snapshot of the vote count before a tie is reached, whoever had more votes is the target"

The scenario you mentioned should have had B be the lim under my interpretation of plurality voting as well. Looking at VC 2.21 when Bambi asked me the question. Bambi was at 3, then Llama got to 4, but dropped to 2, if they were tied at 3 again, Bambi would have been the lim since at the snapshot before the tie, Bambi had the most votes (of 3) first.
