Population balancing idea

[Glamurio]

"Join this round about to start soon and get a free hat for your character"

A reward could be interesting too, something cosmetic like the spacebux purchases

"The carrot is better than the stick", people are more likely to swap if you offer them rewards rather than punishing them.

That being said, I have serious doubts that cosmetics will be much of an incentivizer on RP servers where appearance is 80% of recognizability, and anything you cannot consistently have at or near round-start is not worth making your default appearance.

What would move the needle however, are events, special occasions or even the illusory "antag tokens". A tangible incentive to make people want to equalize population. This would require automated systems or admins, though, and it can't just be "switch now" or else all you'll do is make 80 people from one server to the other, it needs to be a reward for averaging populations.
