Posted June 15, 2017 I think there needs to be a serious discussion on the actual politics of the game. Popular vote, in theory, is good but it's so abusable. For example - you could literally just ask a bunch of people who don't play on that server to hop on the server just to vote for you. I don't have any solutions, but I'm hoping that the community here can start a conversation on how we can make voting more fair to the server. My only idea is perhaps X amount of playtime required but then AFKing would get the vote. Perhaps X amount of time + you have to own or rent a residential structure? Doesn't really sound appealing, but it's all I can think of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 16, 2017 On official servers, it's going to be decided by popular vote. However, on private servers, you can have a lengthy "immigration" process and whitelist people. I'm sure there will be some option to restrict voting on private servers only to people who are vetted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will not stop my plans for voting Thomas Hetch for Governor. I will spam the votes with my bots and rig the election.

Thank me later Thomas. @ThomasHetch So your gonna pay money to make a bunch of accounts just to vote? $30 per vote is a lot. Not to mention you could ban those alt accounts.

Posted June 27, 2017 @kriller509had the right idea about owning or renting an apartment/house on the server. Another idea may be a public register where you must enter your details and then are allowed to vote after a week of play time. The biggest downside to this though would be that we would need to be able to see that the registered party is actually playing and didn't just join the server to get their friend into the role.

Posted June 27, 2017 Also, I would think there would be a short time slot for voting. Allowing only the people in the server at that time to vote. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly that wouldn't solve it, I agree that it should be short regardless but it'd still give people the chance to invite others on to vote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) You said that you could just tell people to go on the server you are on but what if to vote you needed to be a citizen on the server for a certain amount of time. So it would work and if people stand still for to long they shouldn't count as an active player. Edited June 29, 2017 by Gamesolver21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This immigration kinda thingy is probably the best way to go. This way, a big part of people trying to rig votings are already giving up on doing so. How about "your account had to exist for xx time and has to have yy hours of gameplay on record" (I know the grammer was weak with this one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This still wouldn't work as it would just stop the spam from new accounts which will only be a majority for a short period of time, so most 'riggers' would still be able to do as they please. I think I might agree that the best way to go is X amount of time needed on server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
