In theory only the highest rating counts for tickets. So if someone starts by clicking 1, then 2, then 3 etc it will be the same as if they clicked 5 stars first. It is possible that the message you get for ticket rewards only goes out once, the first time someone rates. I haven't checked, I'm just guessing.

I think that must be it. I found out my wife does the exact same thing and it certainly explains the lack of tickets I got after my SG ran the first arc and yet I still had the ratings to support it.
My wife claims it is the "obvious" way to vote and I guess she must be right and lots of people do it that way. It still boggles my mind because the "obvious" way to vote for me is to click the one you want.
Actually that isn't right... the programmer in me says it doesn't matter how they use the interface, it's the number of stars highlighted when they press the Finish button that should count with zero stars = no vote. Anything else seems a bit sloppy.
I may publish a junk arc just to test it.
I believe the first rating is the one that awards the tickets, the latest one is the rating that sticks. After about a week you can re-rate an arc and award tickets again, although you still only get one rating, the new one overwrites the old one.

I think I already know the answer to this but do we know for sure how the rating screen works?
Click the appropriate star leftmost = 1 and rightmost = 5.
or Click each star in order
I'm sure it is the first option but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I ran my mission tonight with the person I specifically wrote it for. I got the notice that someone voted but no tickets. When I asked she said she had voted 5 and had the "You have voted" message 5 times to prove it.
So what happens when she does that? Is it a 5 or is it a 1?
