My answer is pretty much what Skylord said:
If people are voting for councilors because they are to represent the community, those people should at least purchase the game for the right to vote as to who they think would represent the community the best.To do my part,as I also believe this is the right choice..
As you (anyone reading this here) may be aware.. the next council elections are getting near.
So it has become even more important that we solve this important question before the next applications arrive.
To avoid cheating during voting process,where users would create a number of alternate accounts,and using proxy accounts to provide votes to themselves or to their favourites.
Devs and moderators can try to do a lot on "our" side to prevent cheating,but even so.. it cant be always avoided..unless..
to prevent these problems
In order to participate in voting where we will choose someone to represent the community,
players/forum members must have purchased the game before the official voting starts.
which would mean they now support the game,and that they are serious about participating in something that can contribute..not only to the forums and the community as a whole,but to the game itself.
