August voting: reset at midnight!

[IssacF]

Nyr,

Might want to attempt what Aardwolf and Achaea do. They have a very -visible- reminder when you enter their games. I noticed Arm has none. Don't know if it helps, but it might.

How much more visible can we make it?  I'm being serious--it's the first thing you see after you log in.  Should it be somewhere else?

Look at my version. No one can miss that. Might -seem- redundant but I'm truing to draw attention to it as quickly as I can before the person scans throught the page. You could also switch the box that says Diku Team, put Diku Team on top, alter the box to have a similar title such as VOTE ARMAGEDDON and then the voting info. This is because if the person attempts to quickly scroll through the last thing <immediately> after the Room Description on top will be VOTE FOR ARMAGEDDON. Hard to miss when you draw attention like that. And that is what Aard and Achaea do. Might as well play the same game.

I would find it helpful to have it MASSIVE across the top of the GDB.

Also...

"If you're lonely offpeak...you know what to do." We really need to bump up the non-American based side of playerbase.

[Cutthroat]

I see buttons. I don't see you clicking them.

[Maso]

I did my voting today... DID YOU?

Love the nifty reminder on the account login by the way. Nicely done!

[Morrolan]

Voted.

[slvrmoontiger]

Come on people VOTE we are way behind and in 4th place.

[Nyr]

Not bad, folks.  Keeping at about 60 per day (better than last month).  Keep it up!

[RogueGunslinger]

I can definitely see us pulling ahead within a week.

[Nyr]

Since we're rebooting, may as well go ahead and vote!

[Morrolan]

We're currently in 5th on TMS. I've been voting at least once a day on both boards. If you can't schedule the 2 x per day, settle for once per day -- but get it done.

[solera]

That was fast! Ten hours ago, we were five votes ahead of fifth, now we're seventy behind.

[slvrmoontiger]

Yeah and now we're 115 behind fourth. Come on people vote.

[Maso]

We suckkkk! Gah!

[Barzalene]

We're good. We just have to keep up a steady vote pattern
So, when they drop off again we can take it back.

[Feco]

2nd, 3rd, and 4th are so close to one another, if we can get up to their level it shouldn't be an issue to overtake them all.

VOTE.

[slvrmoontiger]

If is the key word here. Come on people 129 votes behind 4th place. Vote vote VOTE.

[Malken]

Nah, face it, we really do suck!

Probably less than 10% of the players actually vote.

Sad, but seems pretty true.

Let's start forcing people to vote or else they can't connect to the game.

It's Armageddon, c'mon! You think they'll stop playing if we do that? Hahahahahahahahah.. CRACKAGEDDON CRACKAGEDDON!

I tried to check in at Mudconnector just now. As mentioned previously, the only way I ever check on the community forums and news on TMS and TMC, is by clicking the vote button. I got a 404 error. So I typed the URL for the main mudconnector page in on my browser (I don't even have it bookmarked) and was able to access the main page. When I tried to click on "reviews" I got another 404 error. But Andy (Icculus, the owner) posted in his news section, that he's in the process of porting the old community forum onto SMF boards, so that might be the problem.

Is anyone else erroring out when trying to vote on Mudconnector?

[RogueGunslinger]

No, it works fine for me.

[Lizzie]

No, it works fine for me.

Well then their IP-block bug crapped out on me again.

Nyr,

Is this 620 different people viewing? Because I view this post sometimes several times a day, but can only vote twice a day for TMS and once a day for TMC. I like TMC because it tells you when you've already voted. TMS is still confusing to me because there's no way of really knowing if your click counted as a vote or not.
