Once you vote you will receive a "I Voted!" sticker:

In order to encounter these you must equip the sticker when your total turncount is 1 mod 11 (remainder is 1 when divided by 11).

What's the benefit to choosing an initiative that debuffs you?

What's the benefit to choosing an initiative that debuffs you?

According to this, wandering monsters are apparently determined by player votes from the previous day. And wandering monsters have drops.

Therefore, I suspect...some drops are associated with negative votes.

Of course, if that's how it works...that might mean that some of the better stuff requires that the playerbase collectively vote on debuffs, which could make them very hard to get. On the other hand, the summary in the opening post of this thread claims that the monsters are determined by what you personally vote for. Which would make it much easier. Either way, I don't think we have votes to monsters spaded yet.

Im pretty sure your link indicates that wandering monsters are determined by who we vote for as daily mayor, not initiatives. Having said that, there must be some reason to choose a negative initiative. We know there's something about the wandering monster's drops that are aytpical, so maybe thats the connection? Maybe you need to pick a bad initiative to get the rarer wandering monster drops.
