We are the ones frustrated with the current vote economics, who have decided that awarding votes to the completions that one admires and enjoys is crucial to the game and to the community of players.
So we vote anyway, even when we run out of official votes.

We award beautiful or wacky things to praxis that sings of awesome.

We may build an alternate non-confrontational SFØ economy based on neovotes and Supervotes, score-sharing and community vote point-banks.


We just don´t like to run out of votes, see?

I find that since tax was reduced to 50% there's no lack of points anymore - at least I have enough p's to vote for whatever I want - so I think I'm gonna vote for your tasks with p's and also award you magic ponys or other surprises cause I know you like that Susy!

Dear ♫ babe, thanks for the flying pony

The thing is, I'm pretty much doing what feels best about the whole voting system, and loving it. So I guess if you feel like voting you should too :)
I used to crave votes, you see, but not anymore (which is a good thing for me in the sense of move away from greed, etc, but that's another story). And along the same lines I don't need points, not really. So, anything goes. Votes can be meaningful or arbitrary, same for money and almost anything, except the Hokey Pokey.

Dear Susy

Should I now or should I not vote for your tasks? I mean if you vote you need points, right? I'd like to give you points, I didn't give them cause you didn't like them but now?

FYI, in the context of the discussion

I'm modifying my resolution to operate outside the official vote economy. I tried the piggybank idea but it seems to be a failure: I mean, no one is ever going to ask the piggybank to vote in their behalf. Mostly because the vote poverty has been relieved quite a bit, but also because the whole point of voting is to get one's player pic at the bottom of tasks that we particularly like.
So, in a epiphany of creativity I'll be using the point-votes to VOTE. That's right, award some vote points to he tasks I gave a VPVP before. Yeah, votelater, but with the twist that I'd be doing the trading only once a month, so I can distribute the point-votes I have among all the tasks I liked that month. Less anguish that way.

I will, however, keep asking for DIYvotes instead of vote-points: they are great to get and don't tap into limited resources.

players will be forced to perform better tasks in order to get more points

How so? Or do you mean better tasks as in high-point tasks?
