Mpogd

Since PA admins are pushing votes on mpogd ive tried to vote once a day. Somedays I forget. Im sure most of the core player base tries to get their votes in but sometimes they forget.

Im not a coder so my idea may not be doable, but since this is a free round, if you could code a pop up to hit everyone as soon as the log/pass bot checker that says:

"Please vote for us (daily!) at MPOGD.com. More information on how to vote here"

The pop up doesnt add a go away (you can x out of it but it will come back the next time you log) until you click on the link. Then set the cookie on a timer to expire in 24 hours, forcing the pop up again.

Doable? Worth it?

Re: Mpogd

Doable? deinfately. Worth it? No. Its will **** people off, which a) we don't want and b) they don't deserve. I think perhaps an option in preferences to remind you once a day to vote is a good idea. Or a free marker pen to write on my wall.

Re: Mpogd

when thinking about pop-ups, dont forget the inbuilt pop-up blocker of IE, so most of the time it will be blocked, so it would be rather pointless. Maybe make it worth while... maybe an asteroid a day if you vote... something like that

one issue with trying to encourage voting is that we have no way of knowing if people did actually vote after clicking the link

*they* not "we" :P You're retired!

As for the idea itself, I think it's something which will only upset people (esp. people who have payed during a pay round)... Perhaps something like this for the free accounts, and a link on MOTD for everyone else. Just another annoying reason to upgrade for those w/o popup blockers
