I could be wrong, and you may not be surprised to hear we've had this conversation on TMS so many times before that it gets to feeling like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, but I'm pretty sure that rewards of any kind for voting are frowned heavily upon.

I used to do what Kinnith did - reward *everyone* if we got to a certain point in the listings, whether it was a plot or experience points. I ceased doing that because of Synozeer's clarification that *no rewards of any kind* should be allowed to encourage voting. And, I have to agree with that, really, because it's one thing for players to vote for your MUD out of loyalty and pride - and quite another for them to do it because you're effectively bribing them - even if it's totally well-intentioned.
