would you please kindly consider putting a - 5 on MirrorVerse?
Given that several voting rounds have gone by without Ack saying anything about it, it apparently is acceptable. Granted, asking people not to vote for the stories may be acceptable as well.
My aims are for the stories that people actually want to see to get votes, and for stories that people do not want to see to not get votes. If just enough people stop voting for those stories to balance out the people only voting because told to, I will be satisfied.Given that several voting rounds have gone by without Ack saying anything about it, it apparently is acceptable.

Of course, I didn't plan on voting for those stories anytime soon anyway (due to the inscrutable algorithm I employ to pick my votes), so my feelings on the matter are likely irrelevant to your aims.
We've progressed from merely voting, to vote trading, and now to discussing the evils of said vote trading and tactical voting in general. My ridiculously circuitous plan is 3/4ths complete!
We did the math. Certain stories can reasonably expect to get four or five updates without certain other stories getting any updates at all. Even with the reset.Normally I try to keep my votes the same or as close to being the same every round, only while my computer was broke that I voted more randomly, reading some of Ack's stories also affect my votes a bit, before I read NSW and D&T I voted for something else in their places, and Security! is often in my top 3 votes.
From what I got Ack's resets the counter when a story wins, so even the trading doesnt affect the results very much, it only makes faster for a story with the counter set back to 0 to win again, every story gets a turn or another, then add Ack's quite hyperactive muse that strikes him with the fury and speed of a Bruce Lee on speed, every story gets some loving, he worked on a few other stories while he was working or stuck with the winner of the past couple rounds.
Which is why I rotate my votes. For the stories I vote for that don't get a lot of votes, I give them high votes for a long period, while the more popular stories only get a few of my votes before rotating down below the threshold. Yeah, I could just as easily just vote for the low volume stories, but I also want to see some of the high volume stories too (Wyvern and Recoil for instance I really enjoy).We did the math.

Would you consider putting a 4 in for War Games?
I'd like to ask that everyone boycott Mirrorverse, War Games, and I, Panacea until the vote trading on them ceases. I know, I know, you might actually like them. I like I, Panacea myself. The other option is that people think that this is acceptable and it becomes impossible to make the stories you like win without resorting to vote trading yourself.

Also, Ack liked my post last time I spoke out against vote trading, so perhaps he is annoyed as well and just didn't want to say anything.
Eh, Ack liked all my Acktropa Vote Trading Posts and other Trading Posts as well, so I'm not sure thats evidence in your favor.(One could say he is a very likeable person )
Most of the big stories/highest vote counts dont get votes because of trading anyway, but because they are the most popular ones.
Ultimately I think Vote Trading is just a fun little "minigame"; put in a little bit of effort and communicate with other people and in the process get a (however) small boost to your favorite story's update schedule.
In the end, Ack can always write what he feels like; but if he indeed wants the Trading to stop I'm certain everyone will happily oblige.
I think the vote trading concept is amusing. Actually, it's hilarious. Especially when I consider that people are trading votes for something I am creating for fun.We've progressed from merely voting, to vote trading, and now to discussing the evils of said vote trading and tactical voting in general.

Haven't you noticed? Ack likes every post that shows an IQ higher than 50.Also, Ack liked my post last time I spoke out against vote trading, so perhaps he is annoyed as well and just didn't want to say anything.
Well... And this.I've been Liking vote trading and anti-vote trading comments alike, because I like the fact that you're discussing this in a reasonable fashion.
