Resets creates temporal chaos, and it settles over time.

Most propably placements are about the same in every MUD just before reset.

If we want those chaos situation, then keep reset system. But if we want to show general standings of MUD's then we need something else.

How about taking fixed % off in every day, or even in every hour.
Like 1% off from score per hour. If we want to punish a bit those smaller mud's (or they all ends up with 99 votes) we can have extra 1 vote off from everyone also.

This creates same effect, without chaos, those are more stable scores, but if stable player base (acutally active voters) rise or goes down, it will show up there.
