We're still at fourth and the spacings between us and five are getting bigger. This doesn't mean it is time to falter! No! Onwards my friends! Onwards and we shall take yet more favour from the great TMC! Onwards and we shall liberate third!!!
Thank you for your inspiring words. A reminder that we must push forward, else we will fall behind.

We're doing well! People must have decided to set alarms on phones or something because the votes seem steady. Keep it up! We're fighting for gold!

Well, we're steadily 20 votes behind 3, but we are now 30 votes (instead of only 20) ahead of 5. Keep up the good work.

If you are a new player who has enjoyed the game then we would love it if you wrote a shining player review on TMC! It can only help our rankings.

e.g. http://www.mudconnect.com/mud-bin/prev/ ... 1&mud=1854

Just some perspective: We are ranked 3d on TMC and don't really compete on other voting sites energetically. Still, of the top five MUDs on TMC we have the most player reviews, the most recent ones, and the largest number of positive ones. In contrast, we are ranked 190th of 842 worlds statistically on MudStats. Compare that with number two Aardwolf (3d of 842) and number one Sloth MUD (110th of 842).

What does this mean? We all know that MUDs are a dying genre, but we are part of an even smaller group: role-playing MUDs. We log fewer players on average monthly than many other games, less than most others in TMC's top 10. I am reminded of us when I see Kobold Quarterly's editor, Wolfgang Baur, sign off an article with "we remain, small but fierce". You all do a great job promoting the game that you enjoy and giving we the staff members (who are also your fellow players in every case) the opportunity to exercise our creativity through improving the game based upon your experiences and suggestions. We thrive on your enthusiasm for the game. Thanks, and keep it up.

Alrighty! Looks like it's reset and we're now 786. Let's see if we can get ourselves to 1st this time!

So this'll be my fourth post in a row. I think I'm going to start trying to make rousing speeches(see Braveheart for details) daily until I'm scolded for bumping thread(hopefully won't happen.) :D

Expect your rousing speech tomorrow ladies and gentlemen, and remember to vote today!- tomorrow too, but I'll remind ya ;)

No one could fault you for wanting to promote something you enjoy. :D
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

The men of the Moor line the walls of Fort Fiverank! They watch down and wait as we give seige for they know they've nowhere to run but south! But we'll not give them that chance will we? No Brothers and Sisters... the Red Knight guides our generals! We will not starve them out while we've engines of destruction to breach the walls! We'll not starve them out while we've will and strength-of-arms to win this battle! This night we dine in the halls of Fort Fiverank! And on the morrow, we march for Sixeth Castle!
