It's sad that this is how voting must be encouraged. I would vote even if there was no bonus (That doesn't mean take the money away though ;p) But, if this is the way that we can get players to vote for us. Then so be it. Voting is the whole purpose not the money. this isn't the admin team saying we want to just had out money if they vote, I bet that if more people voted for the want to help out the server, the reward would be reduced. But since this is not the case. To even it out I see that lars as created another way to need to vote to get the money to continue not being a hobo 
I think this is a smart Idea on Lars behalf but I think before it is implemented there can still be some arguments resolved to make this new plugin accepted by everyone. (Or at least 3/4 of the community 
but shhhhh, they don't need to know)

(Or at least 3/4 of the community but shhhhh, they don't need to know)i personaly dont think this is the way to go. for a reason that lots of people will be kicked out of their towns even active people. some people might not just be able to come up eiht the rads i think that if we are going to go with town upkeep we should at least make it weekly even monthly but i think weekly is fair cause you looking at 1400 rads for a week. lots of people are going to be homeless and i think that that may decrease server activity.

I agree that voting is a good thing, and that it gives us a good feeling to promote the server and it's nice with the reward. But, honestly, don't you think that if the 500 rad reward is not enough for some people, the result will be that voting becomes a chore? Right now, I like to vote. But I vote because I want to - you can be sure I shall not enjoy voting if I am forced to do so. I can only play once every week or even once every few weeks, why should I be forced to keep a close eye on my bank balance all the time in between?
Bottom line: being forced to vote is a big negative point for the server.

Yes, that is my whole point. I enjoy voting and I enjoy the reward. But I certainly would not enjoy being forced to vote just to keep my place on the server.

Well then again, Legion, there is the risk that people who enjoy playing the server every now and then and voting for it occasionally might feel like leaving if there's a chore they have to attend to every couple of days. I do understand that you want all the players to actively vote regularly but forcing people's hands never has good results in the wrong run.
May a propose a kind of compromise? Instead of making this a server-wide tax on all residents, how about having a valuable reward that the residents of a town can have if they collectively have a certain number/percentage of votes? The reward could be the ship for fast travel (very valuable reward), as an example, and the residents of the town would feel like wanting to vote as a sign of loyalty to the town, with the mayor actively reminding citizens.

Michael you can't force things on members just because they haven't donated because many people don't vote because they aren't regular members and have no need. So unless we are willing to get rid of a entire section of our members just because they didn't donated. That is basically looking down on people for not supporting us and I do not think that is the way we want anyone thinking about our server.

it doesn't take that. No it takes clicking the link and typing your minecraft name.My beliefs:
Voting takes FIVE FREAKING SECONDS. If you can't get off your lazy butt ?

Hello just founded a new settlement and a tax system like the one suggested for me, although making things a little harder of course does still sound reasonable.
However i actually don't agree with its implementation at this stage in your growth. The main reason being that for RP purposes alone it would mean Altera would in fact not have one single City in the Kingdom other than those owned by the server itself. Now that situation would actually be a more "realistic" measure of where things are at anyway but it would mean the whole world would change character and a lot of content will be lost.
It also occurs to me that even at a peak of 65+ players at one time you will in my opinion need to grow past 100 - 150+ Before Taxation would not cause too much fluctuation in Alteras already established Cities.
So in short I think you need more concurrent players before this would function without causing too much damage to what is already here or will be here at the time you do implement this.
A monthly or weekly tax system would help to ease problems too though. I don't think that's possible to implement with Towny though.
Regards Olaf
Edit> It also just occurred to me that if it is 200 per resident and not per plot then, it will just encourage people who want to build to just buy more bonus plots instead of looking for new residents.
