2. SlothMUD III - 1756
3. 3-Kingdoms - 1752
4. Threshold RPG - 1747

No idea who these '3-Kingdoms' people are, but they've shot up the list faster than anyone else - they jumped from obscurity to 300 votes behind us, and in the last 3 days have closed that gap to just 4 votes, and Threshhold as usual right on our heels at 9 votes behind us. More than just a little suspicious how this 3-Kingdoms mud have raced up the rankings in a matter of days.. but hey, I guess anyone can use proxy sites to vote...

1. Dark and Shattered Lands (DSL) - 2637
2. 3-Kingdoms - 1839 <---
3. SlothMUD III - 1788
4. Threshold RPG - 1774

well gee, that's not very suspect or anything...

Apologies. It has come to our attention that TMC strictly

forbids the use of player incentives for position on their

top list.



Again, we are sorry for not having more closely read the

rules and must withdraw the offer of the half-reset boot

should we attain top-10 on their list.



Instead, please vote anyway with the knowledge that if

we do get in the top 10 we believe it will garner extra

player base and a generally better mud experience for

everyone involved.



Thank you.

Mortals of The Three Kingdoms,



In pursuit of our continous goal of growing the population of our community

we are opening an additional non VAF related contest.



If Three Kingdoms can rise to the top 10 list on mudconnector.com

there will be a 2 day half-reset boot as a reward for all! Each

player can vote one time per day (per IP). There is a link on the Center

of Town (http://forums.3k.org) or you can vote directly using

the link below.



While there is no obligation to participate, growing 3K is in everyone's

best interest. A large and viable community is essential to our

longevity and morale. Significant effort has been spent to

improve the newbie experience here, lets work together to spread the

word and bring more players to their new home!

Heh, I like this part:

Also, apparently 3K aren't as generous with fast repop days as we are

Pity that they got their playerbase interested in voting though, will be interesting to see how many of their players will stop voting without promise of a reward.

Has anyone emailed this to TMC.. or is that why there was a reset recently?
