AN UPDATE ON VOTING FOR FED2

by Hazed

It's been a while since I've written anything exhorting you all to vote for Fed2. By and large, you have been doing so without my urging, but just in case some of you haven't got the message yet, I'll take this opportunity to put my nagging head on.

If you're a new player who hasn't been around long, or an old player who has had your head in a bucket, you may not know what it is you're supposed to vote for. So I will explain.

The Mud Connector is the leading web site about multi-player games. 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.

TMC is a major source of new players for Fed2. 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 in the number 4 position in the charts, with (at the time of writing) 7107 votes. We're comfortably ahead of the number 5 game, which has 6520 votes, and we need to gain 1189 votes to catch up with the number 3 game, with 8296 votes. That's a big batch of votes we need to make up, but we could do it over time if we can get more people to vote for us regularly.

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.
