But wait, how did they cheat? You may not like what they've done. You may consider it slimy or mean or manipulative, but which rule did they violate? I mistakenly thought they were sending different messages based on whether or not you've voted, but they're not: They're sending different messages based on whether or not you type the 'ivoted' command.

So I mean, you may not like it, but which rule is that breaking?

P.S. It's also not worth considering the jump a first day or even first week method of vote motivation gets. Players react strongly to new/different things, but once Medievia's players are used to this new (to them) system, their behavior is likely to level off.
