To Whom it May Concern:

After the announcement of the upcoming release of v6, there is reduced incentive to vote, as the "noobz" currency has lost it's relative value.  What is valuable now is v6 reward tokens, obviously.   I could be wrong but I would wager that voting has dropped off significantly since the announcement due to this change.  My suggestion is that voting instead rewards players with an:T (amount tbd by admin staff) v6 token reward, until the release of v6.  If anyone feels that this is a good idea, or a bad idea, please respond and share your thoughts.

Some thoughts:
In general, those who have spent a lot of time already in Noobstown (such as myself) may think of voting as somewhat of a hassle, and also because we've found other ways to earn in-game money. So in general, the newer players comprise a majority of voters, since they need that "headstart" money. Giving a v6 token award for voting will give newer players an equal ground with those who are long-time players/have high power levels.

Also it gives long-time players a motivation to vote, maybe, and altogether keep our server with high votes at pmc.

It's also easy to calculate for a reasonable/balanced token voting reward, since we can only vote once a day and there's a finite number of days until v6.

Maybe an option to choice? I can give an example.

I played on Runescape private servers before, and most of the time they got a voting system, where you can choice you reward, so my idea is

A "choice" rewards system, off course this might be something they should implement for V6, cause it might take some time to do it, but every time you vote, you will get a "vote ticket" or something similar, and it will count up as lets say VIP points, and you can spend that ticket on set items, or buffs, to boost yourself a bit in V6 along with the tokens.. :3

And some rewards will cost more vote tickets, cause they are more valuable, I don't really know, just a random idea I came up with.

Maybe Like:

1 Vote Ticket = 500 Noobz, 50 Tokens, 1 Iron ingot, 1 gold ingots etc...
5 Vote Tickets = 3000 Noobz,  300 Tokens, 6 iron ingots, 6 gold ingots etc...
10 Vote Tickets = ....
20 Vote Tickets = ....
(Only 1 reward off course)

You get my point, I would like this ;)

I like the idea of getting tokens for voting and Miner's idea might be cool also.
