    Hello! I am voting for this server daily (call me a nerd xD). Nah but I like the rewards since i am mostly playing factions. I get the max amount of votes almost each month and still I have not got one single gift card. That is because the system is some what "randomized". I have no Ida of how it works but it can be annoying when you get the max amount of votes but You do not get the 25$ gift card. I have two solutions for this:
    1. Make so everyone who gets the maximum amount of votes wins the 25$ gift card.
    OR
    2. Give the top 10 voters the gift card with the same randomized system.

    In my opinion I think the first "solution" is the best since every month at least 5 people gets the maximum amount of votes. Implanting the first "solution" would make the voting for this server a lot more fair. As you can see in the picture below I have the maximum amount of votes but I will not get any reward since I am on the 7th place at the moment I took the screen shot.

    That is all I have to say, please submit your suggestions or modifications on mine or if you think that I am wrong.

    Have a nice day/night! <3
     
  2. If its top 5, then it is top 5.

    Honestly I think top 5 is okay because winning 25$ giftcard is quite a lot for 5 people (in my opinion)

    Yeah first solution is obviously the best, because "you" have a higher chance of winning it. Also it indeed seems fair, the faster you vote, the faster you are gonna win. Now giving top 10 25$ is quite a lot. "250", so lets assume you, your brother, and a friend all wins this. Kinda an easy method of farming money, no need to pay out just press the vote key.

    If you take a very close look at this chart sometimes you may notice: 121, 120, 120, 120, 120 (means someone was the quickest to vote) instead of pick random 1 - 5 (on top 10)

    All my opinion (should stay the same)

    Hello, thank you for replying! I am usually fast to vote. I were top 1 with 121 votes as u said (121, 120, 120 ,120, 120). The thing is once I voted I will drop down on the leader board for reason. It is not who is the fastest to vote from what i have seen. I understand that it is a easy way to grind money but it is not fair that even if u vote first you will drop down of the leader board because of a randomized system.

    I've on several occasions had the top amount of votes but have not been in the top 5 people
    which can be disheartening and actually make me less inclined to vote.
    Considering the entire idea of offering gift cards to top voters is to encourage people to vote
    an easy way around this could be:
    Offer gift cards to everyone who has the maximum amount of votes,
    but only $10 gift cards.
    On average there are less than 10 people who manage to vote every single day
    during a month.

    Hey, thank you so much for replying to my post <3! I just thought of the Ida of giving everyone with top votes a gift card less worth. I totally think that Ida is smart. I hope this get implemented and I wish you good luck with voting.

    Not going to lie, I actually agree with this.

    Voting everyday, believe it or not, actually sometimes takes motivation to continue to do consistently.

    Also, MC-Central gift cards are completely free to MC-Central. Therefore giving them out won't make them lose any money flat out.

    Not that my opinion will ever be heard though, but +1

    Hello firebal676! Thank you for replying, you got a big point with gift cards are free for mccentral to give out plus (as u said) it will probably encourage people to vote more.
    PS: I heard your opinion <3.
    Have a nice rest of your day/night!

    I can agree with RegentAgent that 5 people that get 25 dollars a month on the store are a lot but I can now understand where you are standing on this.

    Another way to resolve this is by splitting the prize pool which would be 125$ for the top voters with the maximum votes or -1 vote. I think 25$ is a lot of money for 1 person and splitting it equally among the top voters would be fairer.

    This is only my opinion so if you have any other suggestions please let me know! Thank you :blush:

    This is what I mean when I am saying that I am dropping down in votes even if I voted first:
