While I think the vote system is a good idea, it is - in some ways - broken.
As it is, you can't tell from a vote count whether a vote is given to
1) a good mud site, which 'top mud sites' suggests as this sites' target,
2) a good and popular mud with lots of players, who vote by own free will,
3) a less popular mud which has a dedicated staff of 10 immorts, who vote everytime they get a chance, or
4) a mud who actively encourage(*) their players to vote for them.

I've stated in some earlier messages that having a list of top mud sites is a good idea, but this isn't a list of top mud sites. It's a list of muds fulfilling the above criteria.

(*) I don't mean "if you don't vote for us, yu'll get thrown off the mud", more like "remember to vote for us at tms, and then come get some free eq". Enough to shift the balance, IMHO.
