Just as an FYI - Armageddon's "players logged in" will -usually- average around 30-60 during times EST when most people are awake and in the general proximity of a computer. Peak time (as of the last time I played) was around 10-ish EST at night.
Arm has no in-game prompts to vote, and compared to the top 5 muds on the list has a small player base (I believe the last time any of the senior staff members answered a query from a player, the answer was less than 400 accounts). In the three + years I did play, I never saw more than 125 players logged in, and that was only once, for a period of an hour or so. So figure an "active" playerbase of around 250 and it's probably a reasonable guestimate (though most likely not accurate).
Voters on Arm do so -primarily- because they sincerely like the game and want to see it remain on the top 10 list.
