    I feel like the voting rewards for the $60, $50, ect. giftcards should be tallied differently. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, the rewards are earned by how many times you vote. I think they should be tallied by how many nstars you receive. So if you get lucky that would essentially count as 2 votes... I feel this would add a luck aspect to the rewards and it isn't just a "Who lives in the right time zone" kinda deal. Like I know myself and many others when they vote it's late at night then the next night they have school schedule gets messed up /automatic loss of the giftcard/ it should be more difficult. If someone gets lucky every time but only votes half the time, but someone votes everyday but can't get lucky to save his life. Then the person who can only vote half the times would have a fighting chance.

    I just feel this would help out the people that physically cannot vote every single day.

    Luck isn't what you are being rewarded for.
    There are enough rewards for being lucky already.

    This is dumb. The whole point of the rewards is to reward players for the amount of times they vote. If one person votes 20 times a month and another person only votes 10 times but gets lucky a lot, which person does more for the server? Which person puts in more effort to get the server's name out? That being said, which person deserves the voting rewards more? There's more to voting than just getting netherstars

    You aren't losing anything by andrew giving them those giftcards.

    The "Lucky" part is the bonus nstars you get. And the Rampage votes.

    This is so both people get rewarded. Both, the person who *is* able to vote every single night, as well as the person who votes a lot but isn't able to do it EVERY night.

    There is also a "Drawing" that is held every month. Your 'lucky' part goes in there as well.

    Andrew is thinking about you, don't worry. But he is also thinking of those dedicated few who are able to what they do for the server by racking up those votes.

    The current way is fine, alot of servers don't get any rewards for voting anyway.

    Sorry, to say this, but I am completely against this suggestion. Luck should never be involved, in this kinda competition that needs lot of dedication in your life routine. I personally think players who are voting regularly without making mistake on skipping the day and moment that you should vote during that month, they are the only people who should be prized in this kinda reward system for server. If luck starts to involve on outcome of ranking, then it will demoralize players who does make steady constant vote at right schedule everyday for those reward. And server will eventually lose those hard loyal strict voters which is negative effect for server. Those managing your voting moments and days in your real life is quit a sacrifice for your private life schedule. For those who make that much dedication, they need to be rewarded.
    For fair competition, "luck" should never be involved at all.
    Getting extra diamonds, emeralds, horse eggs, and nstars are enough reward for being lucky. That's it. It shouldn't go further.

    It's not about luck its about dedication to the server.

    I don't want my inability to get luck rampage to throw my shot at a GC down the drain.

    Leave the "Most Vote" GC's to those who vote the most.
