    Suggestion: Change the way of winning the donation giftcard prize at the end of the month.

    Reason: There have been months that I've voted every day and still haven't won any giftcard prizes. Also, I feel that this is unfair for people who may have some personal days or vacations etc. A new method like this would give the people with not so much time to vote a small chance of winning, and stop the people with a lot of free time from taking over the big $40-$60 prizes EVERY MONTH.

    Any Other Information: Yes, of course. I want the raffle to be something like this:
    Anyone who has voted 25 FULL DAYS OR MORE will be eligible for the raffle. So that means that anyone with 150 VOTES OR MORE will be eligible. I think that the chances for the raffle should be like this:

    25 Days+ (150 Votes+)- 1 ticket
    28 Days+ (168 Votes+)- 2 tickets
    29 Days+ (174 Votes+)- 3 tickets
    30 Days+ (180 Votes+)- 4 tickets
    31 Days (186 Votes)- 5 tickets!

    This would still give people with more free time more chances, but still, they won't be able to take it over EVERY MONTH. Also, I realize that there are months with only 30 days, and one with only 28, in those months there would just have to be less tickets put into the raffle.

    I disagree, the gift cards are to give thanks to the users that have supported the server.

    If you voted 28 days you are supporting the server. Some people have days out so they can't vote, or a site wont work for them. This counts them out of the giftcards even though they try to vote everyday.
    I like the idea, it stops the dominance of that one user who votes everyday (LordCwispy) and allows others who vote as much as they can, but sometimes miss the odd day, can still win the giftcards.
    This also allows the giftcards to be more spread out so not only the same person benefits from the voting. This would probably get more people to vote. From personal experience I have tried to vote everyday but when I miss one I give up, this would encourage me to continue.

    I agree, only if they made it similar to 25 days (150 votes) 1 ticket, 27 days (162) 2 tickets, and 29 days (174) 3 tickets, so you have more of a chance

    I agree, I have had months where I have voted nearly every day, only missing 2 or 3, and I have not received a gift card for those months. I've won a gift card only once, and I think this would be a great way to let others have chances to win a card.

    I suppose we could bump it up to 27. It's honestly the staff's choice (methinks).

    I feel that this would encourage users not to quit voting. Like sometimes my Internet crashes or such and I can't vote.
    Like:
    Day 1-19 votes
    Day 20 Internet crashes can't vote
    Day 20-31 votes
    It is not that I am not supporting the server but that I can't get on. This would be a great idea. +1

    TOTAL SUPPORT!
    Do i even need a reason? Does andrew even need a reason? This costs him nothing more then what happens already, this isn't giving out more giftcards, just to different people.
    I see no problems :D :D :D :D :D

    There is actually no way of checking this, what andrew does is use a random thingy picker, there's no timestamp or anything involved, just a program randomly picking someone, it's like the lottery, the more you vote, the more chance you have of winning.

    Really? I though the donation prizes were the top 6 voters of the month.

    What if someone had 1 ticket and won the $60? That would be unfair to the people who vote daily to support the server and win giftcard credits. The people who win giftcard credits from voting are those who vote everyday or almost everyday.

    Well what he is saying is that ou would only get 1 ticket if u had voted 28 day or more. Everyone who votes that much is just as dedicated they just, for whatever reason) aren't able to get all the votes

    The people who vote the most, help the server grow the most, so they should be rewarded.

    Yes, but some people who don't have a lot of free time but still vote for the server as much as possible want to win the prize. You obviously did NOT read the whole suggestion. PLEASE read it before replying again.

    *Sighs* I did read your whole post, do not give me those kinds of excuses to be lazy and not read mine. As I said in the post that you probably did not read, it is unfair for those people who have a lot of time to vote (such as Lordcwispy) to win $60 every dang month, and other people need at least a small chance to win!

    If thia happened, people would just vote as much as you need to get the max amount of tickets. Why would someone vote 200 times when it only takes 150 votes to get the same amount of tickets.

    The lottery is all luck.

    More vote = better chance.
