Dear RESiSTANT, Admins, staff members, and infinitians

I am writing you this Formal letter as a sign of good will. I am still new to infinityMU but you can tell from my activity bar that i am active. I love this server and i do not want it to just die because of lack of players due to a low ranking in the top server polls/ballots. I would like to suggest to the staff of Infinity to change the way we vote.

I know most of you will say ; "Why change the voting system? It is perfect the way it is!" . FALSE!!! It is only perfect for those who are lazy to write the captcha and are just voting for credits/rewards!

Truth be told about 80% of us are only voting for the event and credits. among the 80% about 60% do not write the captcha since credits are awarded even if you don't provide the captcha.

This means that credits are given away to players who's votes did not count in the official balloting for top mu servers. Thus, declining this server's position in the rankings as those who did not write the captcha still recieve the vote point rewards.

I suggest that you try to change the voting system/program
where in the hyperlinks have a counter below them which indicates how more hours they have to wait to vote again. The voting system/program of the provided game also does not give vote point rewards to those who do not write the captcha. The voting system/program of this server should block, negate, avoid and prevent the awarding of vote points to those who do not write the captcha. Therefore boosting the chance of ensuring the position of the game at the top spots.

If this type of voting system/program is applied, then all the credits given would not be wasted given to players who's votes did not count in the official balloting.

If this type of voting system/program is applied, all votes Will definitely count!

This will ensure our server's spot at the top.

I am open for clarifications, questions, interrogations, further comprehension.

Thank you
- MurdaInc

infinity server is not connected to topsite servers so there's no way to check if some user entered the captcha or not. Possible thing in this suggestion is to put counter how many hours before next vote.

A counter or countdown timer below the vote links would be very helpful =)

Is it possible to connect our server to topsite servers? If it is possible then I think infinity will be in top 10 again.

+1 nice suggestion

i think resi needs to pay the ranking website to connect with Xtremetop100 or other ranking sites . It is a risky move because when RESi pays, there is a chance that we might still not reach top 10 and end up losing money that is supposed to be used to buy rights for an upgrade; but there is also a chance that we might reach no. 1 spot!! it is a 50-50 chance, all we can do now is to wait for the decision of our ADMINISTRATOR, mr. RESiSTANT.

But to put it in my words, i would agree with Classi . If Infinity connects with a ranking site, players will need to write the full captcha before they get vote points which will eventually make Infinity to the top 10 or maybe even top 3 SPOT!

and yeah i am bumping this because it would be also helpful once Infinity is already connected to a ranking site

I have something that I want to add.
I agree with Smigglez on the fact that it is risky to pay the XtremeTop100 to connect ours server to its website and not ending up in the top 10. But I think this can help to minimize the risks: Increase the voting rewards points so players have that motivation to vote again. I think Cozzy have mentioned "Venci decreased the voting reward points and that make most of the players feel like they were being punished for it, and that loses us some very important vote (Every vote is important even if it's just 1)."

Lets give it a shot, because this server deserve to be in top 10.
