I do not mind the reminder upon logging on... but I would like it to not appear if I've already voted in the past 12 hours.

I agree, but I think that that would constitute a "reward" for voting, which is verboten.

It seems that this has turned into a discussion about voting for Lusternia. Can an administrator please close the thread?

Totally off-topic, but I can't help myself. Yes, Shaddus, I am very ungrateful. Apparently I am the only one, since I see 0 downloads, so rejoice, I am the only ungrateful person playing Lusternia. I enjoyed your reply so much that I took the liberty of putting it in my sig.

Different people are irritated by different things, really. Getting colourful text after I've logged on... that does not even have the decency to come right when I log on but instead waits a number of seconds so that it occasionally mucks up a defup script I've got by giving me a double-prompt... is annoying, since when it does I have to stop and restart it.


Sounds to me more like you could do with re-writing that script, heh. Plenty of other things can cause double prompts. Ambience messages, other people doing things, etc.

Not much ambience in manses, or other people doing things (usually), whereas this happens on every login.

Generally there isn't enough of an issue with it to be worth the bother of rewriting, except for this message; and when you have to redo something because of the message, it is a source of frustration / annoyance. tongue.gif

Xenthos tempts me to add in some feature that waits 3-4 seconds following the vote reminder to send a message about said feature.... ninja.gif

Vote or do not vote - it's your choice. It certainly helps Lusternia grow, and we are happy to have your support. A bigger Lusternia is a better Lusternia - it opens the way to new guilds, new organizations, and certainly it helps populate existing orgs. Higher population means more potential guild leaders, more potential mortal builders, more potential tradesmen who've designed neat stuff for you, more people to someday volunteer to become gods. It trickles down, and it definitely has a positive effect.

But if we don't vote, there is more emphasis on the admin end to make us stuff to entice us to vote. >_>
