C'mon guys, 2-3 more votes and we get 6th. Let's get this done.

One vote from sixth on TMS

Let's make all those Gemstone IV players wonder why they pay a subscription for that crap. Maybe some of them will try out Arma!

On the TMC page for Arm this is on it:

QuoteMinimum Players: 74 - 99

What does it mean?  It seems to be wrong since peak is like 50 - 60 players now.

Vote you dogs. We're like 6 away from going up a rank on TMS.
Modern concepts of fair trials and justice are simply nonexistent in Zalanthas. If you are accused, you are guilty until someone important decides you might be useful. It doesn't really matter if you did it or not.

Cross posting this from random ideas:

Top Mud Sites copy for ArmageddonMud:

Zalanthas: a harsh low-technology desert where settlements and shelter are few and far between, and once you're within the walls, you may not actually be any safer. Over two decades old, this Roleplay Intensive MUD is free to play. New website!

The copy on TMS is perhaps a bit stale now.   Suggested rewrite (warning, I'm not good at this):

Murder, corruption and betrayal await you in Zalanthas, a harsh, low-technology desert world ruled by warring Sorcerer-Kings.   A challenging, Roleplay Intensive MUD with more than 20 years of high quality development.  Completely free to play.

Wanted to highlight Murder, Corruption, and Betrayal first and foremost, with the war between the Sorcerer-Kings also driving that sense of conflict.  Also wanted to highlight that Armageddon is challenging relative to other muds, I've found people are drawn to a challenge...and lets be honest, anyone who isn't probably won't make it very far.  Lastly, free to play is now associated with "hidden costs to play" so I wanted to clarify that's not the case.

Could also be cool to get an icon thingy next to our name.  All the "big boys" in the top 5-6 tend to have them.  It's $5/month.  I know someone who does pixel-art from work, maybe I can convince them to make an icon if staff are cool with doing this?
