    I just voted and it did not give me pork or $100, now before you type that reply: I WAS in game, the whole time. I DIDN'T mistype my name, I always double check. It also didn't say I voted. Is there a voting bug or does voting no longer give stuff?

    As I said, it was prob while a save was going on, if you didn't see it save, that can happen too. I voted and it worked, you must wait 24 hours to revote. D: It was prob most likely while a save was happining. 8D

    I see people saying this happens all of the time. Never once during a save, either. It will take their vote on the site, but in-game nothing happens.

    When I get my new phone I will try to test some things out (as I don't vote for prizes) to see if I can figure anything out.

    This has happened to me before.
    One time, somebody voted under the name "w" (Not kidding...) And it said w voted and was awarded in game. 99% sure we have never had a user with the username "w" come on the server, but it only shows users that vote that have joined the server once before...
    That means, that when you vote, it should always come up under the name you voted on. (Even though it's not supposed to unless that user has joined the server before...) However, it doesn't. Sometimes it doesn't even say it for people who HAVE joined...This happens when it's not saving, too.

    I believe what's happened is: It sometimes mixes up who has, and hasn't joined the server before. Thinking w has joined sometimes, and BLTwitch hasn't sometimes. Can't think of any other reason it would do that.

    It does seem to be a rare occurrence. I've got it before as well.

    New builders also seem to have the problem sometimes. But you never know whether that's true, or just them trying to make Andrew give them the prizes, THEN vote. (Even though Andrew never does that.)
