Hmmmm.. there is a whole thread on the GM boards about cheating by asking people to vote for your shows.. one guy got this:
Due to violation of the rules, in particular neotiating votes to help boost your own show's rating you will be removed from your position as GM, and your fed dissolved.
And he says
First of all, i have no idea what they mean by negotiation votes. Sure i have promovated WWI somewhat, but isn't that what we're suppose to do as Gm's? to spread to good word about our feds. I mean if not, then i have no idea why the voting system is even there to begin with, if not to get people to watch the shows, and thereby hopefully vote fot it?
and the response was
I apologize if it seems unfair. I assure you it is not. Perhaps it is considered an unwritten rule, or something. I figured it would be common sense, one of those taboo things. You don't strike up deals with other feds to exchange votes. Period. If it makes anyone feel better I'll add it to the rules, however, I never felt it was necessary. It is a way of manipulating the system with an artificial input (convincing people who have no interest in your show to vote highly for reciprocation), and has always been frowned upon. Other GMs have been removed by me for it, and with good cause. It has been an instant removal offense since I took over.
SOOOOOOO I'm going to have to, I guess, NOT re-name the fed "DWO Presents: MWA Madness" or they'll think that DWO and MWA have some kind of secret deal where we vote for each other, where, it's not really that, it's just I've known Divac for over 5 years since before TWG and I thought it would be a cool shocking story. I mean, I vote on his show, but that's because 1) I've known him forever and 2) He used to be in the fed anyway and now he's got his own show.
