...on Top MUD Sites at the moment. If you think we should stay up there, go vote by clicking on the link from the top of the GDB's main screen or from the Armageddon homepage.

Does anyone know how to setup scheduled tasks to vote? I tryed once, and failed. If I knew how, I would.

you mean, something to remind you? In what program?

if you mean, make a script to do it automatically with your browser regardless if you are there are not . . . that's against the rules, so won't be discussed here.

I was hoping something that simply popped up the voting window at 10 AM and PM for me. Work around is scheduling IE to run and making it my homepage, since I use firefox normally.

So a very old admin friend of mine on the MUD I used to admin on IM's me earlier asking if 2.Arm had come out.

"No, why?" I reply.

"Because they're kicking our ass in ratings."

Always a good sign. :)

Their rules say: (http://www.topmudsites.com/rules.shtml)

How often can I vote?
Your vote will count only once every 12 hours. For the most part, the script will stop someone from inflating their votes. If I catch you cheating, I'll give you a warning, then suspend you, then ban you from the list. The integrity of this site is based on the fact that cheating will not get you to the top, and that the rankings are as fair as they can be.

Cheating is for true noobs.

We continue to cling on stubbornly to the top ten, although we've slid to #9.

I voted on there, is it one vote per day?

You can only vote once every 12 hours, and all other votes (regardless of MUD) during that time don't count.

Cool, thanks.

Aaiiiieee, slipped to #10.  8 votes would put us back up to #9, though, it looks like. Click that link!

Are we the only game in the top 10 right now that doesn't reward its players in some way for voting?

Nope.  I have played on three of the top 5 muds, two for a substantially long time, and do not recall any rewards on any of them.  Though on one I suppose you could say the reward was having the in-game harassment to vote stop.

Ahh, was just curious. I played on quite a few browser games that give dinky little ingame rewards if you periodically click their voting links, figured at least a few muds out there probably did the same thing.
