Brody: RPers who receive the most RP Notable +votes during the previous month are listed as our top JTS roleplayers.

How do you handle this kind of voting? Does only staff vote, or do the players rate one another? If the voting is done by players, have you had issues with collusion or ballot-stuffing?

Just curious. We considered adding something like this a while ago (not for contests, really... I think it had more to do with giving players a way to say to the staff "Hey, watch this guy!"), but it got sidetracked by these kinds of issues.

The players rate each other on the JTS MUSHes.

As a player that spends a great majority of his time on JTS I haven't seen any major issues with collusion from that angle. The main reward is that everyone who gets at least one +vote is given some recognition on the site for that month and they get a little experience (more if they opt to leave a comment to the player they are voting for). It isn't a great deal of experience and the most 'collusion' that goes on is that people vote for people they RP with a lot. That's part of the point of the system though, is it's an easy way once a month to let people know, "Hey, I like RPing with you." The votes are also anonymous so they don't have to know who voted for them unless you want to say so (I do like to sign mine when I remember).

Anyway, as a player I enjoy that little pat on the back that says, "Hey, you're pretty cool and you need to log that character on more often!" :>
