BigPapa Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Voted, Ill vote again tonight at home. Let's roll and get some prime advertising on page one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I always vote. Its the prime way to raise the Player base numbers. And ours are a bit low. And a dedicated player should vote or he will soon find himself playing alone. As life brings change, and with change people move on to other things. The problem i see is that just getting the TOP10 is not enough. In my view getting new players by the TMS involves certain steps. -Player is aware of the mud on the TOP10 (or TOP20). -Player find the mud description interesting and presses the link to the FL website. -Player finds the website interesting and the mud description relevant to his interests. -Player connects to the mud to check it out. - Player is hooked and play. In my view we are a bad in 3 steps: - Giving visibility to the Mud by achieving TOP10 status. (This is Players department and we are not doing enuff. But the more players we have the easier it becomes.) - Convincing the player to connect to the MUD via WEbsite. In my opinion our website cannot compete with other muds websites. - Creating enough buzz for the NEW player that connects to the Mud. This can be achived by having more newbies around asking newbie stuff in newbie channel and a bigger who list. The summer vacations are a few months away, if we could get to the TOP10 and revamp the Website perhaps we could generate enough momento to expand the playerbase. For example i player Wotmud before FL, and almost no one voted, and their website was nice for a mud. But they noticed that they where losing players and decided to do a revamp. They convinced the players to vote and revamped the website to a professional look (one of their imms works on this field), and now they managed to increase they player base to 100 a night.

'tarako Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 'So. question. Im on a college campus. There are multiple libraries and buildings with computer labs. I have little homework tonight, so i do not have a problem with spending an hour or so walking around, logging on, and voting from as many computers as possible. My question is. Will that work? I do not know what they judge the voting off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattamue Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Re: 'tarako Depending on how their network is setup you might have a unique ip to vote with on each pc. Even then they're going to be similar enough that the host of TMS is going to see a lot of votes from the same place. So, be careful about over-doing the voting from campus, Tarako. It might bring more trouble than good if FL gets 50 votes from a common source. I bring it up because we might already have a bit of a reputation because of the voting prompt that use to run on the forums. It was okay by the rules then, but they changed them just to disallow it.

Guest emp_newb Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 just go to different buildings, and use your wireless to connect to different wireless servers, each building should have it's own IP. I am pretty sure votes are counted by regulating IP. So if you just check your ipconfig and see a different IP, then by all means vote to your hearts content Mr. DeSalvo. EDIT: Alot of the top muds require you to vote before you can log in, or give you rewards based on your votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchaeius Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 As to the website, we -are- working on a new version. However, no one on our staff is exactly a guru with web design. When we unveil the newer website, if you feel that you can make a better design, feel free to email me your template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I can’t check now because it's blocked at work, but I noticed that very shortly after the reset, StockMUD had a VERY high vote count that was way way way above the MUDs that usually sit at top (Aardwolf, Acheaa, etc. – all of which had about 50 votes each). Still like that? It was very strange. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to everyone though - glad to see I was right and we can get ourselves up there if we put in a concerted effort. Lytholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm going to write a program that people can choose individually to download that will vote for you automatically. I know that in my case I simply forget to vote a lot of the time, so I think it should help our standing a fair amount. We also don't have to worry about breaking any rules, because it would be voluntary, obviously, to download and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
