people dont vote because its not required...I think above the box you post your verse there should be two other boxes where you put two links to votes...sure people would do bullshit votes but these people would get weeded out pretty fast...I mean there would be loopholes but there would still be a huge spike in voting...particularly in efl...

not that I know anything about coding but this doesnt seem like it would be too hard to code...just copy and paste the text box code from the post your verse box and leave it in the same form tag except change the attributes to make it shorter...

let me know if this is doable b/c I think a lot of people would support it...

weerd...so your not to post a battle verse unless you have voted twice on battles and supply links?

correct...meh maybe we could do it in the setup before the battle starts...so as not to interfere with the time limit...

if they could setup a hack like this it'd be a good idea... hopefully someone will see this and be inspired...

i'm feeling that.... but.... we gotta make sure that they are recent votes on battles that haven't been closed more than a week cuz kats will try to use the same two links forever

This might be possible... but what's the difference between this and the credit system already in place? Currently you need to vote in 5 battles before you can start a new battle.

because once the noob phase is over where you are so excited that you run around voting on everything to get money or raise your post count (many of these votes being unexplained or just bad votes because when youre a noob you dont really know what youre talking about and youre in a rush to raise your money and post counts) people stop voting...me for example I have 70 or 80 credits...and I dont battle that much so I pretty much never have to vote again...I dont vote much more than I have to so I almost never vote on anything....but if I had to vote twice and post links before each battle Id:

A)vote more and
B)get in the pattern of voting a lot and maybe vote more even when im not battling just because Im used to it...
C)never run around making superfluous battles 10 at a time because having to actually do 20 votes before you start them is way more of an impact then "Hey I just lost 20 battle credits"...

the hard part about coding this would probably be making sure people arent using the same links over and over...what I thought of is maybe it would be possible to integrate it with the timer system so that you cant use battles that have been closed longer than a certain amount of time....this wouldnt eliminate the problem but it would certainly reduce it...

Id be glad to talk with you over e-mail or some kind of messenger program to hammer out the specifics a little bit more but this is where my idea is at so far...


Short Answer:
Look at the difference between FL and EFL...most vets never vote because they have enough battle credits that they never have to...this puts everybody on more of a level playing field...breathes new life into EFL and stabilizes FL a little bit...the huge problem in EFL is why I think a lot of middleweights and vets are behind this idea...

great minds think alike.... this is exactly what i said in my post a little ways up... the links gotta be current, like no more than a week old or not more than a week after the battle has closed... whichever comes first... that'll make you have to vote more often...

yeah, and plus what about when u first join... u dont have enough posts to vote, so you wont have the votes to battle.. so every newbie will have to just make posts in LL or something? theres a conflict there... i think an increase in the money for each vote would be an excellent idea...
