Classic example of psychological habituation and neural adaption.

So, I'm addicted to first place? Why isn't everyone else?

Nah..
Habituation is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentations. For example, a thread reminding you to vote daily in a forum you visit may initially draw your attention or even become distracting. After you become accustomed to seeing this sort of thread daily, you pay less attention to it and your response to the stimulus will diminish. This diminished response is habituation.
Thank you.
Yes, but without the threads people don't vote.
I think maybe pictures of nudes should randomly display when the vote buttons are clicked.
That would certainly inspire me to vote.

Well, if we follow Spencer & Thompson's logic, unless we switch stimulus (or "strategy"), we'll just end up stabilized somewhere above the other muds who have also stabilized themselves over the years. If this trend keeps up, we'll just keep losing votes over the next few months and end up in the 7-10's position.
Naked pictures wouldn't really help, since anyone who wants to see some naked ladies can do so easily without having to bother voting.. Oh.. Wait, you weren't serious..
Death threats?
We've dropped to a close #2 at the Mud Connector. (http://www.topmudsites.com/images/vote_mud.gif) (http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/topmuds/rankem.cgi?id=sanvean) (http://www.mudconnect.com/images/tmcvote1.gif) (http://www.mudconnect.com/cgi-bin/vote_rank.cgi?mud=Armageddon)
We're in 8th and 2nd place on TMS and TMC, respectively.
Only YOU can save us from being beaten by IRE MUDs!
Actually, we are in third place. By three votes.
Now we're in second place. Let's go guys! We need to get a head start for when the end of the month apathy kicks in.
Back to 1st by one votes ;D
Fine, I'll vote again even though I'm not currently playing.
Take that Spencer & Thompson! *waves psychology book angrily*

Yay!
Did everyone but me just stop voting on TMS??
I just made an account, on TMC, just to vote.
That's the most committed I've ever been to anything!
.....I'm so proud.

You are wonderful!
Ummm 8th place on TMS is unacceptable please vote everyone.
Frankly, so is 2nd on TMC.
Aardwolf probably has 10x the playerbase as us and leads us by one vote. If a greater percentage of us voted we would hold first place easily.
When I posted that we were 1st on TMC. I guess that changed.. Currently we are 1st on TMC and 7th on TMS. And neither have wide margins. So everyone please vote both.
Morning reminder: do more voting. It really helps!
Soooo, we're about to have Thanksgiving break and all, maybe we should work a little harder at sucking people in this month?
Seriously. If all of the 60 people I see logged in on a given night voted, we'd have as many votes on TMS as we do now in one day.
Vote harder!
Unfortunately, not all people read or even are on the GDB.
Those are the smart ones.

For some reason, my brain fixated on this and I was going... but how do they Arm? ???
Today was a long day.
But I voted! So should you!
How the hell are we number 9 on TMS?
You can't be serious.
Have some pride!
I voted.
Don't forget to vote!
By one vote. That's a bit close.
9th...*sigh*
But if 10 of you vote right now, we'd be in sixth! Just imagine the possibilities!
By 5 votes.
Two of me's have voted. Hope it helps!
We're #9 people! 9!
Where are our October stats? Quit slacking!

Remember, children: Ginka knows when you don't vote. And she times her crashes to steal all of your stuff in retribution.

I didn't vote for a while and now my character is bugged and causes crashes so I can't log in until it's fixed. So I'm playing Prpi, no one's on, and it just crashed. Joy.
5?!
There was an old Bynner
Who wore boots for shoes
He clicked so many votes
He didn't know what to do!
Unfortunately said Bynner had passed out in sparring and was only dreaming about voting.
Don't be a passed out Bynner, vote.
We can pass these infidels!

Aardwolf
Heh, a buddy of mine that I just introduced to Arm had his first character rejected, so he started playing Aardwolf, he told me today.
Couldn't talk him into letting me help with his desc/bio.
I think my first character (Kronibas) was rejected, too... a human raised by Blackwing elves or something? fortunately, i have the tenacity of a cockroach.
I think it took me three characters before I stopped having apps rejected. He probably would have given up when he got into the game.
Even with relatively low turnout in voting we still have a significant amount of players coming in, and (for whatever reason) more players actually attempting to PLAY the game this past month--which is a little bit confusing. Total new accounts = doesn't matter that much. Total new accounts that play the game = VERY important.
I put the latest results here (http://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,46534.msg787285.html#msg787285).
I haven't been pushing votes or even voting as much as I have in the past due to some serious business happening with school schedules. I don't know if you guys need number crunching to inspire you to vote, but:
TMS has #1 with 1315 votes. That's slightly more than 100 votes per day, or 50 people voting twice per day. (We've maintained this rate for a few days at a time in the past.)
TMS has #2 with 625 votes. That's about 48 votes per day, or 24 people voting twice per day. (We slaughtered this rate on a regular basis in the past.)
Catching up at this point would be hard, but hardly impossible. The folks at the top only vote as much as they need to...we can easily hit #4 in a few days if we churn out the vote. Math, assuming all variables constant:
Our rank: 8 @ 332 votes (25 votes per day, or about 13 people voting twice per day)
7 is @ 334 votes (virtually the same)
6 is @ 385 votes (30 votes per day, or about 15 people voting twice per day)
5 is @ 416 votes (32 votes per day, or about 16 people voting twice per day)
4 is @ 416 votes (virtually the same as #5 right now)
If we increase votes to 50 per day (easily done, there are 25 people on the GDB right now logged in), we will be at #4 in 4 days assuming others vote at their same rates.
Go vote, ya'll.
It's (roughly) four o'clock in the morning. (server time)
Do you know where your votes are?
My votes are voting right now. They passed your votes on the way to the vote store.
20 yesterday. Only 10 today.

We've fallen to eighth on TMS!
Four of you vote right now and claim our rightful spot!
Got one.
I... I voted.
Our lead is almost gone. Seven. Are we ok with second?
4
Soon second
9th on TMS
We didn't vote and we lost first place.
