Only about 8 hours to go!

At midnight, voting resets.  Now, you don't HAVE to vote exactly at midnight. However, the more initial votes we get in that first 12 hour window, the better--as much of a lead as we can get is great to have.  The competition at the beginning can be rough, too, so keep that in mind...sustained voting is the key!

For now...





                                         ...TO VOTE.


Is yours?

Oh man, stayed up until 5:30 am watching Firefly and drinking wine with Zoltan, then woke up at 10 horribly hung over... I'm not sure I'll make it to midnight.  But for you, Arm, I'll try.

BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

I did it.  But we've only got 4, and we should have 33, so get out there and vote!

And then vote again in 12 hours!

I don't understand how TMS votes.. Does it take a while before the votes are counted and displayed? I know for a fact that more than 5 people (which is the number of votes we have right now) have voted.. And that was like 20 minutes ago.

Ditto. And my vote should at least have bumped it to 6. Didn't.

Up to a three-way-tie for second now, at 11 votes!

#1 on TMC by 46 votes, and #2 on TMS. We've got this.

Two votes right now takes us back to 7th, at least.

It's important to note the number of votes we got today is more than enough, if we simply sustain that number.

Shhh, we must berate them if we're to have any hope of inspiring the proper amount of votes!

Ahem, as I was saying. You maggots vote like the age 18-25 demographic in a local election! Now quit your whining and click that button until your finger falls off!

We're doing great on TMC. TMS? We're wavering ... we should easily be in 3rd atm, but we're not - 6th when I checked last.

Kick it up a notch, folks. This is how our clans get filled. This is where all the new blood comes from - this is what preserves our world and enriches it (granted, after the initial newb jitters).

We love newbs, so vote, you sons of guns.

What I don't understand is how we've been #1, sometimes #2 on TMC, but even now we're still at #6 on TMS? Are the other MUDs having people go to multiple ISPs to vote or something? Because it's pretty much the same MUDs.....

I suspect it's people's inherent laziness.  TMC requires making an account, and TMS does not.  Also, making an account at TMC is sometimes quite the pain in the ass.

In the meanwhile, do voting!  I've got 2/3 votes in today.  The other will have to wait until later.  ;D

Bottom line is, if we can MAINTAIN steady voting throughout the month, we tend to take #2 or so in the last half of the month. Initial spurts happen on other MUDs but in the past we were outlasting them again and again. We can do that again!

A vote right now puts us into fifth place!

Just sayin'!
February 04, 2014, 01:21:30 PM #34
So far:

TMS: Voted once at work, once at a Wi-Fi location during lunch. Will vote at home once I get there. I can only vote at home twice a day on the weekends because I'm never awake and home exactly 12 hours apart.

TMC: Done!

I usually don't partake in these threads, but we're only three votes behind in the taking of position #5 (on TMS). So, you know, if you wanna clicky, you can clicky, homie. If you don't, that's cool.
