Usually people want to play with less than 30 players around. So when the server hits 30 pop, one of the best players gets polled.
I don't really mind since these polls don't work. Pandor's case is an exception. Furthermore, xmasRPG lacks real, harmful trolls. I mean, all the players are trolls, so we get along quite well with each other.
Ladderpulting is a minigame ! Don't remove that feature !
We even managed to go up the xp barn with ladderpulting.
