Map vote incentive
#24
I'd agree with people saying this is unnecessary. A way that voting incentives could backfire is by encouraging apathetic votes from people who are not invested in the results but desire the reward, which could complicate mapvotes. Examples include reinforcing a cog 1 victory that many of the voters didn't actually care about, or inspiring people to waste their votes on an unlikely map which ends up winning an upset plurality because of these so-called "wasted" votes which were only made on the implicit promise of it not actually winning.

Abstaining from a vote is a legitimate choice: People who care about the results will vote and people who don't care about the results won't vote, and that's fine. I don't think encouraging people who don't care about the result to vote anyway is worthwhile or useful to the experience.
