Voting Feedback
Four players provided feedback on the voting system as it stands. Overall, voting is seen as a positive addition to the game, although more than one person noted that more detailed feedback is only an email away, if someone wants to give it. Reaction to web based voting was lukewarm; some people loved it, some didn't care. Given the work it would take for me, I probably won't go this route yet.
An in-game incentive for the winners of voting was popular. Voting was seen as a barometer of in-game public opinion, and rewarding popular characters seemed reasonable. Starting this turn, we'll try giving each of the top three PCs an extra experience point.
We'll try continuing with voting as is for a few months, and see what happens. If participation continues to be low, then we'll drop voting and come up with other ways to provide feedback on characters.
