    Currently, we believe that if 3 players have voted 10 times each in a month (for example) the plugin will list;

    1 Player1 (10 votes)
    2 Player2 (10 votes)
    3 Player3 (10 votes)

    and any configured vote reward set for just the top player will pick player #1 even though they have the same votes as player 2 and 3. I feel it would be a good addition if it was possible, to randomly select a player from those that have the same amount of votes, and broadcast the random choice when the reward is given.

    Sidenote, thanks for all the help so far, great work with the plugin as well!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will also make it an option that all players who have the same number of votes receive the configured reward, as that is only fair.

    I confirmed that your base claim that players with tied counts of votes/referrals were not all receiving rewards is not true. The function to reward the "top" reward to all players with the same top "score" is already in the software.

    So, that only leaves adding in the option of selecting a random player from all of those tied for a reward spot.

    I will look to add this to a future release, but I don't think it is going to happen in the next update.
