The Royal Voting Exchange of Strolen's Citadel!!

[Shadoweagle]

Welcome to the Citadel's Royal Voting Exchange (RVE)!

Do you have a glorious sub which you feel just didn't get the attention it deserved? Or have you had a sub which you feel was swallowed by a busy time in the citadel, or was neglected during a quiet period! Perhaps you have an unfinished work which you would love feedback for! Maybe you made a sub so large that there just wasn't enough motivation for others to slog through it!
Whatever your voting woes, the RVE is here to help!

Here at the RVE, we believe in all subs getting the attention they deserve. Therefore we have created a system by which you may gather more attention to your neglected submission, by paying people to vote!

Noooo hahaha, put away your credit cards, friends. Here is how it works:
You may post a bulletin in the Royal Voting Exchange, requesting that people read and view your subs. You may then post the price you are willing to pay, in the form of how many of your own votes are up for grabs. In exchange for someone taking the time to read a sub of yours,  you will do the same for them. Just post up how many votes you wish to pay, and the  first takers of your offer will be rewarded with your own opinion of their sub!

Now, there must be some standards set to be a part of the RVE. We can't set a bad reputation for the company, after all.
 - votes should be made within about a week of posting a reply to an add. The same goes with the payment. We can't just up and say we are going to do something and then neglect it!
- if you have already read and voted for the requested sub, you cannot put your name up for it. Also, if a customer asks for a sub vote on one you've already read, you should ask him foe a different sub. Fair is fair!
- customers do not have to put up their own subs foe comment. If they feel generous, they may put up another person 's sub.
- In the name of all that is holy, do not put make anyone read through Cheka Man's infamous short story! We do not want people dying of exhaustion! :p
- just because you requested the feedback doesn't mean you're entitled to a great vote! Accept what is given to you, even if the feedback is negative!
- If you have a request up, and someone else puts another request up, you can respond to that request, but not with the sub you already have in the RVE board.

So come one, come all to the Royal Voting Exchange, and let the votes flow free!

Calling all avid readers!
The Fields of Flesh are calling you!
This is no small task; the sub is very large and in-depth! Beware!

Due to the size of the Fields of flesh I offer not one vote, but TWO votes to the subs of the customer's choice, unless the sub is of similar length to the Fields of Flesh, in which case I offer only one.

Number of votes requested/for sale:  3 2
First come first served!!

Nice idea, shadoweagle. I'll have to get around to advertising some of my own stuff here. Some time.

And I would jump at your Fields of Flesh voting offer, but I've all ready voted on it.

[MysticMoon]

An excellent idea!

I would like to take you up on the Fields of Flesh offer. Can I get back to you on the subs I wish to put up in exchange?

[Shadoweagle]

Of course. Just post a link to what you would like me to read in this thread when you make a decision.

[axlerowes]

Read and voted, and it was so good, I don't need to any "payment" votes.  It was just a pleasure to read it.

[Shadoweagle]

Thanks Axle; glad you enjoyed!

[caesar193]

Come One, Come All! Pay Attention this Ad!

caesar193 hereby puts The History of Atheus up for vote exchange! For a lucky 3 2 1 more people, caesar193 will vote on one of his or her subs in exchange for a vote on The History of Atheus.

This ad has been answered and completed. No more votes are required. My thanks go to the three who responded.

[Shadoweagle]

Caesar193, I shall read your tale in exchange for a look at my corpsemaker! http://strolen.com/viewing/Corpsemaker
its not so daunting a read as some of my others, and I'd like another persons view on it!

[axlerowes]

Ceasar I shall read your tale i exchange for a read of http://strolen.com/viewing/A_Creation_Myth, this is the central mythos for my Parna setting.

[caesar193]

Perfection. I shall review your... Corpse thing (what? I haven't read it yet!) and your myths (that is, after you deliver the goods, axelrowes). It has been a pleasure doing business with you two.

[axlerowes]

Goods delivered.

By not talking a vote from Shadoweagle did I muck up the exchange system? Did I suggest I didn't want Shadoweagle voting on my stuff? 

[Shadoweagle]

Nah, I'll still be passively trawling the subs of the main site and vote on all sorts or things! By not taking a vote all you did was merely give someone else the opportunity to take that vote. Cudos to you!

If i had any cookies I'd totally give you one.

[axlerowes]

so your saying you ate all the cookies.......

[Shadoweagle]

I refuse to comment on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.

[Moonlake]

Attention!
2 votes needed on The Oracle of Ein in exchange for the following (on a per vote basis):
- 1 return vote on a sub up to a page in length (I will explicitly reject it if I feel the designated sub is too long) OR
- x number of ideas on designated scrolls (open to negotiation) OR
- comments on 1 Advice Requested sub, again subject to length restrictions Completed!

[Dossta]

I will comment and vote on both of your most recent submissions, Moonlake, as I try to comment on all Weavers Guild submissions   I won't have time until lunch-ish tomorrow, however.

I don't really expect any comments/votes on my work in return, but if you feel like leaving a note on one of the newer users' subs (Plasmawake, Morningstar, etc), that would be great!

[Moonlake]

Thanks, Dossta. One is stub but you are welcome to leave a comment if you feel like it. Btw, I think the last of my subs for the Weaver Guild comes out today.
Sure, I will look at some of these newbie's subs.
Just voted on Bumblor's Scourge of the Devourer.
Just voted on both of Morningstar's 2 submissions as well so the exchange has been completed!

[Moonlake]

2 more votes needed on Kalimon- an overview (and 2 revotes requested from Dossta and Strolen)
In exchange, 1 vote on a similar lengthed sub or 2 votes on one-page lengthed subs is offered (per vote given)!

I think the last revision that I just finished can finally be called a major revision so please revote on it for those who've seen it before. Completed!

[Strolen]

I fixed the link. And sorry Moon, I am going to stick with my vote for now unless there are some updates.

Short challenges and general overviews won't generally get a high vote from me on anything unless they hold an idea that wholly captivates me. In this case they are fun and good ideas, they just don't say that much. Ya know?

[Moonlake]

Strolen, is what you wrote for the revised version with the expanded Youlini section? Just getting a bit confused given the versioning. If it is, well, there will be further updates but probably not in such a short period as the time b/w the last 2 versions.

[caesar193]

Raising awareness for my above ad. Check her out. Only one more lucky person can respond. Who will it be?

[Moonlake]

Caesar193, I will vote on your History of Atheus in return for a vote on my Kalimon overview which is roughly the same length. I don't need a urgent vote on it (I wrote it for the Weaver Guild and now I'm already an official member) but an additional vote is always good. btw, are you needing a vote somewhat urgently for your Cartographer Quest (cos I might be reading your work in multiple sessions)? If you are, then post another line after mine saying you want someone that can respond a bit more quickly. I will still read your work but just take my time with it.

[caesar193]

No, I don't need a vote urgently anywhere on my Cartography Quest. I just need a three+ score overall on each sub. But thanks for the thought. Anyway, I shall vote on your Kalimon overview soon.

[Moonlake]

Okay, then consider bargain sealed!  AND COMPLETED!
