The new rule that the winner is randomly selected seems very unfair, whereas before it was if the character/roleplay/couple/ect. were believes to actually be the winner OTM they would win. It just seems very unfair that someone could get five votes against one of another's, but the latter may win because they are randomly selected :/
It's no longer a vote that all the members can get involved with since they may wish to vote for someone who was already selected, so now they can't vote - since it's OTM, people shouldn't be reduced to voting for their second favorite or further down the list, but rather who was their favorite of that month. People may feel like there's no use to voting because of this, which I know I do....
I understand this may have been an attempt to make it more fair, but if so, it had failed in doing so. If you changed the rules back - or possible set up a poll on the matter - the activity may change back to how it use to be?

the old monthly kudos rules were actually a lot more unfair. every time, the winning otm was created by a popular person and voted for because hey had a lot of friends, or a high rank who got attention simply for their position.
it was impossible to apply a less well-known otm because no one would vote for them, even if they did deserve it. randomizing the results allows anything to be nominated, regardless of how well-known it is. the voting was a flawed system and basically a popularity contest.
it simply makes no sense to have a voting system. otms would return to only winning because they were popular characters or rped by a popular user.
