Is there some software that can change your ip address so I can cheat topmudsites and get us a ton of votes?

Oh.....well then....forget that idea.  I guess we don't really want a whole pile of H&Sers who can't RP worth shit all over our game.

How many of these threads asking/telling/demanding this do we need on the GDB?

i agree....MAKE A STICKY!

Post by: Angela Christine on January 07, 2004, 12:49:02 AM
How many do we need?

42!



Besides, it isn't like the old ones hang around forever and ever, they get deleted eventually.  And a new thread is much less revolting than when someone posts "*bump*".  I hate stupid bump posts.

If there was a sticky, no one would read it after it was first posted.

I always vote. Voting is your friend. I used to vote for Achaea, but it really doesnt deserve its high rating... actually, now that I think about it, no MUD who doesnt enforce roleplay deserves a high rating.

There's enough hack&slay / level threadmill games with graphics out there  :P

Yeah. Don't be a fucking idiot and try to cheat, you'll only get the MUD in trouble.

I, for one, will disagree. Many of the current players came from H&S muds. The feel of the game might go down for a moment, but they would catch on, and they would leave, or they would stay. I welcome H&Sers, MUXers, MUSHers, MU*ers, and MMPORGers. I welcome everyone.

Some of the twinkiest newbies go on to become some of the best players.

I think the application for a char is a good barrier. And most players will show them the right way.  :twisted:

GO VOTE.

I remember when we use to be at #5 and #6 regularly. Now with more players we're normally down at #7 and #8

It cant' be other muds are more popular. It's we're being lazier :P

Post by: sarahjc on March 09, 2004, 01:27:27 PM
WE ARE #9! VOTE!
Title: VOTE!!
Post by: Akaramu on March 09, 2004, 01:37:25 PM
Nah. Its not us being lazier, the other muds are using IC benefits to get people to vote. Especially Iron Realms loves to do that... look at Aetolia, it was nowhere, and now jumped up to #3. One guild in Achaea even forces their young members to vote regularly. Which is sorta wrong if you ask me.

Arm gets a huge amount of votes if you look at our player base compared to other MUD's player numbers. So there's not much we could do to get more votes... our players vote because they love the game, not because they gain IC benefits for doing so. =P

The little blurb on TMS, under our ranking, should read: Habitually a top 10er, with no IC rewards for voting. Come play a real MUD.

Yes, but there are a lot of H&S twinks out there that are all about getting IC rewards for voting.

IC rewards for voting. That is stupid! That is outrageous! You can't call it the top mud sites then. Arm is number one, any game you just enter in and kill things pointless thing is fun for a few minutes IMHO. Blah, I am going to go vote for Arm again,

Post by: Gaare on July 09, 2004, 05:12:51 PM
Arm in #10 while I'm writing this post... So just a small click.

From the rules at Topmudsites:

Quote
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.

Can I offer rewards for voting?
You CANNOT offer incentives or rewards to players for voting. That means you cannot give players items, experience, or anything else in return for votes. You cannot display different messages based on whether someone voted or not, or reward a player for voting by not showing messages.

If you know the IC rewards to be true, how about you do a little spying for topmudsites?

Arma doesn't deserve 10th rank in the Top Muds page.. Keep voting or I will make you suffer in the hands of the southern templarate.. :)
