Voting has been reset for TMS. Get out there and make a difference. Damn this hovering around the middle. Get the top five, now!

Well, the DNS was down or whatever that one day and I don't keep the buttons elsewhere.

Solution?  Vote more.

"here's a community of people I wanna put my vote in for" - said every new player sarcastically, who then went to vote for aardwolf

7 more votes on TMS and we can take a rank.

I think all that is is a measurement of who went to the site from TMS.

Who's wang does someone have to give tender love to in order to get some votes on TMS?

Come on people.

11 more votes would put us in the top 10.  I know it's pre-peak, but we should be able to swing 11 votes.

We are 4 votes from 12th place and 13 votes from 11th place on TMS.  This is totally doable.

BatMud is beating us on TMS. You guys can let that stand if you want. No pressure.

BatMUD isn't even fucking about Batman!

I don't get how some of these other games beat us in the votes when their player base is smaller and their game is inferior. I imagine that staying in the top ten is beneficial to us getting new clicks - is it really that much of a problem to vote?

Contant "go vote!" posts are annoying and the only people that read them are the people voting anyway. What else can we do to raise voting awareness?

Seeing this thread pop up all the time was one of the things that got me into the habit of voting when I really meant to start doing so, but just kept forgetting.  Which is why I tend to refresh it on a daily basis if someone hasn't already.

I feel like I notice a huge difference in terms of how much traffic we get in the helper chat when we're ranked high on TMS versus when we're low on it.

We're already way far ahead oh Dark and Forsaken Lands in TMC, but we're still low-ranking in TMS. We need more voters on TMS badly.

I would have put this in the voting thread but it's mysteriously locked (one of the new forum helpers have gone rogue, perhaps):

Vote -- not that there is much point voting this month, because you all sucked ass at voting this month. 15th place, for shame!

which voting thread?

This thread is the one for August!  :)

For that matter, numbers-wise and historically, our position on TMS only matters in the top 3-4.  Once our numbers drop below that, we get a negligible amount of new accounts from it.

Reiteration for the sake of clarity:

We do have the numbers to maintain a top 10 position with very little effort on TMS; we should strive to do that as it keeps us "above the fold" and for visibility's sake, it's nice.
We do have the numbers to maintain #2 on TMS.  However, it requires a lot of discipline, reminders, and potentially (in lieu of that discipline and manual reminder process) integrated, opt-in coding to let players know when they can vote again.
