The voting system is less reliable than Pete Dohertys attempts to give up Crack. I find the best bet is to close and reopen the window 3-4 times, but even that doesn't work 100%. Its unreliable and you just have to put up with it unfortunately

Re: voting and no seeds?

in the past i've went to the page didn't give me the option to vote even tho it's been more than 24 hrs (and no one else has voted)... so I went to the vote section and reloaded that bush page and it said i have 5 mins to vote still and 4x more for the day stuffs.... so I left it on that page and loaded the DoG link to another window instead of tab and did a manual vote and got my seeds immediately.

this if i recall correctly doesn't work 100% of the time, but is at least cathartic and makes me feel like i made a difference

Every round we have the same gripe. And every round it's just as silly...

STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT SEEDS!!!!

It's not like it's the end of the world if you don't get them.

People play competitively though as well you need to think.

I think it's a little annoying also, it happened to me last round a bit and hinders your start a bit.

What I've found works for me is after I do my initial vote, I go to the Directory of Games site and manually vote an additional 5-10 times...it's worth a shot!

Re: voting and no seeds?

There is nothing wrong with the bushtarion side of the voting system. When you click the button to vote on the bushtarion side, it checks the current recorded amount of votes for bushtarion on DOFG, checks it again every now and then for 5 mins or whatever the limit is, and awards you seeds if this count goes up. This is why often you can get seeds without voting on DOFG, just clicking the vote button.

The problems lie at DOFG. However, to be fair, it is worth noting that DOFG only allows you to vote once per 24hr period, as does bushy, but I do not know if the 2 time periods are in sync. I mean that bushtarion counter resets each day at midday, whereas I have no idea when DOFG's IP logs reset.

I quite frequently am unable to vote for bushtarion when I visit the dofg site. When this happens, I use an annoymous web proxy to visit the site and I can vote without problems and collect my seeds.

I've had similar problem with voting, and like Bobbin said, it's not going to change one's chances of success in bushtarion that considerably. It's just a small set-back that's all!

DoFGames is down, I cant get my bonus for voting.

This is not my fault, I shouldn't be punished because of it..

It's totally knackered my starting strategy, it really has!

Yup, it's broken. Not surprised, just a little disappointed.

Re: DoF Games Vote

Likewise, especially at this stage of the game when you need the seeds the MOST!

Re: DoF Games Vote

A lot of people are having problems, if not everyone. Thing is, the seeds you get for voting is only a 'bonus' and no part of the game itself. If DoG is down, Azzer can't do anything about it.

Re: DoF Games Vote

yeah, as Maxi said.

Seeds are bonusm and are not required to be given to you.

so really... and sorry for being blunt... but tough.
