    So i've asked a few people and along with myself many people haven't been able to vote today, in fact the only person with 13 votes is ItzArctic.

    Im wondering if anyone was able to vote today?

    I haven't had that problem, Most likely a glitch, did you still get your rewards for voting or did It just deny you to vote?

    Don't think it's a coincidence, too.
    -=-
    Possibly a glitch, the voting website (Minecraftservers.org) glitches a lot. It's either that or the plugin

    I've had the same issue. Whenever I try it just says: http://imgur.com/a/t0Z2S even though i have yet to vote.
    I think it may also be a recurring event because I've recorded my voting for this month so far: http://imgur.com/a/96UgE and it appears (so far) to happen every Tuesday for my timezone (AEDT).
    I'll keep recording and see if it happens consistently on the Tuesday.

    The voting website has major problems. This last Wednesday (the 16th) their site was hosed. It would let people vote, but the vote totals that they were reporting was not incrementing for at least 3 to 4 hours. So all those votes not only got lost, but the votes remaining for the vote parties did not decrease either.

    Over the last few weeks I've played around with the concept of using the voting website's total votes for the month (just one numeric value) to predict when the vote parties will happen on prison, OPPrison, and skyblock. Yeah, code is fun. :) What I found is that on an average day there are about 3 to 6 votes that are being lost between the voting website and MineVerse. Some of the loss is understandable, such as if someone votes when a MineVerse game mode reboots in the morning (ie... prison) because the data is sent but the server is down and hence the vote gets lost. Other times the votes are lost but there is no telling why they are lost. I have some ideas as to why they may be lost, but I would have to do some testing to prove my theories.


    For those who may be interested in the program that I'm working on, please let me know. If there is interest I'll post information pertaining to this under programming and provide access to the browser plugin, along with a lot of cool information about what's going on... I mean why not learn something new and have fun too? :) This was an experiment to see if I could better figure out what's going on with the voting and to provide more meaningful information to hopefully improve the interest in MineVerse. :)

    Anyway, here is a simple screenshot with the new OPPrison vote party adjustments added and some high level comments.
    • Total votes were moved up a few rows to be more prominent. I mean its the votes we are interested in, right? :)
    • The time to the right of the total monthly votes is the hours, mins, seconds before the new vote day begins. Ie... when you must vote to "win" the monthly votes. This should work in ALL time zones. :)
    • The frequencies gives you a quick glance at how vote parties to expect per day
    • Then the prison, op prison, and skyblock show you about how many votes before a party
    • Auto reload... when checked will reload the page for you to keep the votes remaining up to date.
    • Offset data... The dynamic data that I created and used to convert the total votes to votes remaining. The age it shows is how old the off set data is. I am able to update the offset data to "fix" the votes remaining when they start to drift from actual values within the games. :)
    • Not shown... the counts are displayed in the browser tab so you know how many votes remain if you are on other web pages. Yeah, can't miss them parties. :)

    y'all are getting way too crazy.

    did it tell you you couldn't vote til tomorrow? were you on the top of the voters list? if you answered yes to any of these questions, someone probably screwed you over.

    I just checked, if i could vote and i could.. it may just be with your browser on your computer.. Have you tried to get someone to vote for you, or use another device maybe?
