If you were to change the voting reward...

[SalsaInABowl]

If you would like to discuss replacing diamonds as the reward for everyday voting, I suggest that you make a separate topic.

Your wish has been granted.

So, if you could change the voting reward, what would it be? Be realistic and (at least slightly) serious about this one. Just throw out some ideas for us.

Now honestly, I am pretty satisfied with diamonsa, but maybe a gold ingot could be a good one. This topics just for you guys, so go ahead!

There are sooo many diamonds out in the world, They will still be worthless and I don't want gold removed from the market because then you can just sell Iron/Lapiz/redstone to make money. (I and mabye a few other get alot of your money from gold).

You wouldn't want our precious butter to be worthless... Otherwise we have no butter in value o_o

The beautiful thing about diamonds imo is that they are so useful. SO MANY things in minecraft  require diamonds (quality builds for one), and in SSP there just are never enough to go around. THIS is why I play SMP: I like not having to worry about running out of diamond tools.

That being said, if I had to change to voting reward, I would probably give out exp. I don't remember whose idea this was, but seeing as how there is infinite exp in the world anyway, adding exp from votes would neither make a huge imact on the game NOR mess with in-game economy.

Lol i played on 1 server. They had 11 voting sites. Each gave 6 diamonds and 1500 xp. You voted daily.
Whatvif it was like that? Lol

Emeralds, or things like skeleton/creeper/zombie/Steve head

It could be like different heads for different sites

I reckon is should be money.  Since voting for diamonds decreases the value of them.  Since if it was something else like either skeleton heads, there will be too many of them.  Maybe you could do something like have a routine, for example:

Day one: $100
Day two: $250
Day three: $500
Day four: One diamond
Day five: three diamonds

They aren't the greatest example but I'm sure someone will come up with something good.

removing diamonds as the voting reward would be stupid. all things worth crafting require diamonds, and mining is not a reliable source to get them. therfore i believe that diamonds are the best possible reward fro voting, and i think the sever will loose players if it changes.

Booorad, Finding Diamonds is part of the survival aspect of The game

[hammysandwhich]

That is very true nhat.  This means there is no need to mine pretty much... It would be then called craft.

What if every time we voted we got a free opticalza?! JK
What if every time you voted you got some new item called optidiamond, and they would be like diamonds only they lasted as long as iron? Then REAL diamonds would go up in value.
To bad adding blocks is client side so this would be impossible.
