A VOTE FOR FED IS A VOTE FOR HAPPINESS

by Hazed

It's been a while since I wrote an article exhorting you all to vote for Fed2 every day on the Mud Connector web site - and since then, we have lost some of the ground we previously gained. Clearly, without my regular articles nagging you to keep up the good work, you are losing the habit.

It's not all bad news - we are still number 2 on the list. But we've stopped moving up the ranks and reducing the gap between us and the number 1 game; in fact, the gap is getting wider. When I voted this morning, they had 13,110 and we had 12,366, meaning that we need to gain 745 votes to overtake them.

The obligatory explanation for new players: The Mud Connector is the best site about multi-player games on the web, and it's where a lot of our new players come from. It lists all of the games available on the web so that people wanting to find a new game to play can read about what's available. But there are thousands upon thousands of text games, so TMC has a chart which lists the games in order of their popularity, as determined by player votes.

It's important that we get a good supply of newbods because we want the game to grow; without them, it will stagnate and eventually die. Keeping the game in the top ten of the listings is important, and the higher up the listings we are, the more likely people are to click on the link to us, rather than other games.

We are currently at number 2 and we'd like to move on up to the top spot. TMC allow you to cast your vote every day, and votes older than 30 days old are discarded - so you need to keep on voting every single day to make sure your votes stick. If you start voting now and vote every day, that means that in a month's time you will have added 30 votes to our total.

Those who do already vote for Fed2 - thank you! Please continue to do so on a daily basis. If you don't - then start now, and make it a habit to go and vote every single day.
