A player can not vote for his/her own plot. And by giving all the players the same rating the player doesn't effect the others' positions at all because they receive an equal amount of points. However it is a problem when friends vote all the other plots superpoop and give each other legendary, they will both receive more points from each other.



A way to decrease this sort of "teaming" would be to not announce the plot owners in voting. Using the chat would be disabled including both public and private chats to prevent players informing each other that this is their plot. Yes, I know. There are people who skype/use teamspeak, but it's a smaller portion of people so this would still prevent unfair voting a lot.
