I rarely vote on anything since I mainly lurk without contributing anything.
If I did start voting more often, then my strategy would take into account desired karma target, but I would use current karma as evidence of a post’s value to the community (which I also value in addition to the post’s direct value to myself).
A way to mitigate the vote-order effect at the mechanism level would be to have users vote by specifying a desired karma target and then have the system vote strategically on their behalf (changing the vote later if necessary as new votes are cast).
