Okay, long comment about perfect sorting bonuses here:
#1: Voting on 'all the applications' is perfectly possible for our current members, since we get the chance to vote on all of them from the start. What about new members, though? We only open applications once game starts and people join all game round, so those who join later are simply not going to have the opportunity to vote on all the applications, which makes giving a perfect sorting bonus for all applications kind of unfair.
We could solve this by saying that we count 100% as 'all applications since the new member joined', but that might end up being unfair to the older members since someone who joins midway through might only have to vote on 10 applications, compared to the 20 an older member might have to vote on to qualify.
25% also seems a bit much to me? I know some people think 10 points is a bit underpowered especially considering it's difficult to decide, but even a new member who only has to vote on 10 applications would get an extra 25 points out of it. Older members will get more - and that can total up to a few hundred for alliances.
