    I got lucky at voting the other day, maybe an extra nstar or something, and I thought, "what a shame that I got that instead of some new player." Because that was a really big deal to me when I was newer ... but now, not so much. Sort of a drop in the bucket.

    Suggestion: that lucky voting awards all go to players of Mayor/President rank or lower, or that it be skewed so that those players get most of them.

    I have no idea if this would work. I don't even know what "plug-in" means. I know how to turn my computer on and how to stack one little imaginary block on top of another. So if this is impossible or doesn't work with the program... things.... just lock the thread. :)

    I like this, but that would mean that the forever Residents and forever Builders have a better chances than the Mayors+. If it can be done with the amount of donations or time on the server, then yea.

    I like this idea, but what if it was based off of how long you've been on the server? Like your odds decrease for every month since you've joined?

    Not sure how hard this would be to develop, but +1.

    Now that you put it in my head ( @ChargerBoltz5 ), I agree with that cuz I could decide to stay mayor or resident forever!

    This probably wouldnt work. We would need to have kept track of everyone from day 1 to accomplish this (I think)

    -1 I like get voting rewards, why should I miss out on them? Its not fair, maybe if more luck rewards were given out then we'd all be happy.

    -1, builders and low ranks should have no bonuses.

    I understand the concept behind your suggestion JM and appreciate your concern for our new players, but I see a lot of issues as seen by some of the comments already made.
    Next thing you know somebody will suggest we change a 3 year old rule to allow builders to be moderators and have access to the shoutbox or something like that. :p

    Builders can become moderators now. :) Although they have to be 6+ months active.
