BANRYU Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) So um. I voted yesterday, but now today I'm trying again to vote for a new character and... I'm just getting the 'you already voted today, wait till tomorrow at 10pm' message when I try. Is... um... Is there anything I can do about this?? Or am I getting scrooged out of a vote here? OKAY SO. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. Each day has a voting period that starts at 10pm PST that lasts for 24 hours. You can cast your vote at any time during this 24 hour period. You do NOT need to wait 24 hours to vote again, you ONLY need to get your vote in during each 24-hour period. Example: Let's say you go to bed at 9pm PST, and forget to vote again the next day until late that night. You can, I believe, still vote at any time up until 10pm PST and it should count for that day.

(Also, apologies if this is an inappropriate place to post this topic, I wasn't sure where else to ask this question, sorry) Might be a 24 hour breaker on votes, not a Day-check on votes?

BANRYU Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Here's hoping... I'll try voting late tonight, see if that helps. x____x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I haven't been able to vote again, either, and I voted right after the direct. But that is what the message says, so I don't see it as a problem. It seems a little odd considering the next vote is more than 24 hours after the first, but it may just be that the first vote was open right away but the voting "cycle" doesn't start until the listed time.

Ycine Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Same here. But it doesn't seem to be a 24h Check. I voted today at 1h CET (17h AST) and my next vote will be tomorrow at 7h CET (1h AST). So it's either rebooting at 7h (CET) or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gima Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 ...It's 10 PM Pacific Time. The event started yesterday, at around 5-6 PM Eastern Time. That's 2-3 PM PT. It specified tomorrow. 10 PM PT in ET is 1 AM ET. It is currently 6 PM ET, which is equal to 3 PM PT... In other words, we have 7 hours before we can vote again. Why it is specifically TOMORROW, instead of "You can start voting after 10 PM tonight" is a mystery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, I couldn't vote again either. This is definitely odd. Probably a site glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gima Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 ...Time zones are going over people's heads, as is usual. Can't blame you, though. They are incredibly confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoinix Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I voted yesterday and when I pulled up the the voting page again, it said "You can start voting again at 10 p.m. PT (7:00 a.m. CET)". Since it is only 3 p.m. PT right now, we all have about another 7 hours until we can all vote (assuming you all see the same message). Edit: I misread Grima's post and accidentally thought he was saying it was 10 pm PT right now. My bad.

BANRYU Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 @Gima, thank you for clarifying, I think that was the thing that had me (as well as other people, clearly) confused. Also, I may have been procrastinating on mentioning that I misread '10pm' as '10am' ;;;;;; So uhh... ;;; that's... that's my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick correction: my screen name is Gima. Normally, it's GM, but I named my character in Awakening Gima. Spoiler Ironically the pun on Grima is a total coincidence.

BANRYU Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Confirming that it was indeed (likely) based on the time zone, and that the next vote went through for me for the second day. All good here, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah, I just got a Day 2 vote in as well. I guess it doesn't go by my own timezone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I didn't get to vote at all yesterday because when it said I could vote again was really late for me, but it counted my vote just now as yesterday's vote. Weird how they set up the times for voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANRYU Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yeah, the impression I get is that we'll actually get an extra day of voting, technically speaking, based on the way the time zones are set up. It may be the case that we'll have until 10pm PST on February 1st to vote for our final selection, instead of being confined to the very small windows they're giving us to vote before the next month starts lol.

Shadow Mir Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So is the interval a 24 hour wait period from when you last voted, or...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm honestly more annoyed by the fact that I couldn't vote at all on the first (very limited) day just because the high web traffic prevented me from loading the page. So my first vote wound up being on day 2 rather than on day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested with my wife's computer, you actually do not, you only have to wait for the next day's voting period to open up. I voted for her when I got up around 7 this morning, and she was still able to vote again just now without having to wait 24 hours. Hope this helps clear things up for some folks!

Radiant head Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 yeah i've only been able to vote on the first day. after that the vote button is disabled whenever i select someone. oh well at least i got my #1 pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANRYU Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 I updated the OP with some of my findings. Hopefully this helps people....? IDK shrug. If we get new information, don't hesitate to let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
