......a random weekly bonus tied to the voting links. vote daily and you get the M/E. vote 7 says in a row and get a random bonus on sunday of ships or rocks.

How is the m/e calculated?  Instead of a ship/rock bonus, could the amount of m/e received be multiplied if you vote 5/7 times in a row?

[Tommy]

The m/e comes from your income. The full linky-o-rama is about a tick's worth of rez per day.

Ship/rock bonus?

Can't vote 5+ times in a row -- the vote sites don't allow that. (Duh.) Anyhow, it's a thingy only to spread the word about CW, not your ace in the hole on a new round. [I never understood this ace & hole idiom but I smartly digress.]

[Edit: not sure if the voting sites time-limit voting, after all. Anyhow.]

Ace in the hole - I think it means that you are holding a hidden advantage, but I don't know if you know that in advance.  Like in poker, the last card in the flop is an ace, or a two, it doesn't matter, the point is it's the card you need to turn the game around and win, so it's your 'ace in the hole'. 

Anywho,

Okay, at present if player1 with 1 million population uses the bonus, and player2 with 3 million population uses the bonus, then the ratio of return is 0.25/0.75 (easier maths like this).

If both of these players got the same bonus as the higher population player (3 million), then the ratio would become 0.33/0.67, slightly narrowing the gap between those at the top, and those at the bottom.

So as you can see, this would not work as an 'ace in the hole', but, it may work to encourage players to vote, especially those new to the game who join a game 'in play' (due to the relatively large resource bonus they would receive).

Tommy, your reading comprehension is deplorable! Banner was talking about using the voting links 5 to 7 DAYS in a row. (DUH!)

I would like to see one of the weekly bonuses be SHIPS! Also the "Tommy" rule for bonuses needs to be changed to only POPULATION bonuses not being able to be used in the last 48 hours of a given round. Agent, ship and economy bonuses MUST be allowed to be used to the very end.

Arch, 1st, you're forever my arse in the hole, 2nd, the "last day no bonuses" rule was well in place by R4 -- I think it came about after the UGF demonstration immediately after R2 -- so I was only throwing a tantrum about recycling, not bonuses. Duh. Ugh. I say. You're wrong. I'm right. You're all wrong. And kinky, I might add. But I won't. (Glass houses and all.) Go figure.
