Ok, been playing for about a week or two. i like this game alot. but i find myself irritated with the voting. why is it that everytime i vote, i have to wait 24 hours to vote again. that seems counter-productive because yes, i do enjoy this game a lot, but somedays, i get on at 7 at night, and the next day i can only get on at 11 or 12 in the morning. wouldnt you think a reset everynight at 12 am would be more benificial, possibly 4 or 5 gmt. i find myself waiting a day just out of irritation, lol. because being a non member and just starting, its one of the better ways for a beginner to keep from being pwned. all the waiting 24 hours thing does is prevent you from recieving more votes and lowering your ranking in the process

The 24 hour waiting period is more of a requirement the voting places put out.

yes, if you were to vote more, it would cause problems.

no, he saying instead of having a 24 hour wait time between every vote, have it a max average of 1 vote a day.

I completely agree with this. Space glory through conquest does this. I am able to vote once everyday for them, but some days because of my work schedule I can't vote for space odessy. So I am all for the once per day.

How do you define a day? 24 hours is a day. What if I vote 1 min before midnight? I'll be able to vote again at midnight thanks to your way, and therefor it would cause problems with the voting services as well as the game, because you get 2 rewards almost simultaniously. Almost all voting sites require you wait 24hrs between each vote, which is why that timer is up there. If you are unable to vote because of your schedule, sorry, but you just have to miss out. It sucks, but that;s the way the cookie crumbles.

I agree that the voting could be a large swing for lower powers, but the money and segments are such a small amount that they wouldn't make a large difference for people mid to higher up. !50 million, 300 segs, and 175 turns a day. But if the sites that Sir Emi uses have mandates of 24 hours, well then I guess its over. Darn crumbly cookies. Always floating in the milk.

lol, I know of only 1 site that allows you to vote infinately, and it's leader has over 5 trillion votes coming in a day, so it would be abused by people who know how to get around the pop-up saying they voted their one time today.

you may be able to vote right boefre midnight, then at midnight, but then you will effectively can't vote for 48 hours. 2 votes in 48 hours is still 1 vote per day, so there is actually not much difference, just at what time of day you got it.

I think that your voting should be limited by week. You click on each vote icon at the top, and each time you do it 24 hours is added to the wait time allowing you to reach a maximum of 168 hours wait time until your next vote. This allows someone to get all of the voting out of the way for the next 168 hours (week).

The problem is, as I have stated, that the voting places won't allow you to do that. It ain't under Sir Emi's control.

Yes, as you and I have both stated Chronos. I swear, soem people just don't bother to read other posts. If this was an 11 page topic, fine I could see it, but we're barely at the limit of 1.
