Right now we're #2 and #1.
Let's try and get this party started!
I'm taking an indeterminate break from Armageddon for the foreseeable future and thereby am not available for mudsex.

Still 2nd on TMS and 1st on TMC...

Oh and Boo to TMC because I can't vote again until tomorrow AM even though they just reset the counter AFTER I voted this morning.

Is it just me or did TMC never reset the counter? We couldn't have gotten over 600 votes there in one day.

They just reset randomly. Just as they feel like it.
So, best to just keep voting!

From what I can tell from browsing other MUD forums, the IRE games all have in-game reminders you can config that remind people to vote and tell them when they can vote again. That probably helps them consistently rack up votes day over day.

TMC actually came back up and the button is now working on our website. Website was definitely down earlier when I checked it. The button on the Arm pages is just a link to their site so if the button doesn't work or isn't showing up its because communication with their site isn't working.

Holding 1st on TMC ! Keep it up!

We could take 3rd on TMS in 8 days with an additional 7 votes a day. (Someone check my math. )

One thing I've been keeping an eye on is the "Out" hits on TMS (i.e. how many people came to Arm via TMS.) We had a significant lead over Midkemia when we were in 3rd and they were in 4th, but it's been narrowing since we fell down a place. Tl;dr even one rank on TMS seems to really matter in terms of driving traffic, so VOTE!

Ummm, like WOW.... We are 1 vote away from tieing for 3rd on TMS. But we aren't happy with ties are we? Nope we need two more votes right now to move into 3rd place and several more to keep it. We are pretty firmly in 4th place now. Lets make that a firm hold on 3rd and then we can talk about 2nd.

Yup, totally not surprised about it.. I was gone for the October reset to whip everyone into voting and this is what happens.

Every..Single..Time.

If there isn't someone to constantly tell people to vote vote vote, we fall back above #5!

(which is just another reason why I think automatic reminders 24 hours after you voted isn't a bad thing, every single muds that beat us have one)

Keep in mind tomorrow is an important day to vote.

Vote, vote, vote! From the tablets to the smartphones, the desktops to the laptops, the public wifi to the vpn, let your votes ring loud! (you can vote twice a day on TMS from one ipv4 address, once every 12 hours I believe)

Makes me wonder if you could also vote from your ipv6 addresses too, or how their code actually defines an individual user.
