Here's what cheaters gain:

They gain a place in the top 20, which appears on the main page, without anyone having to click to a separate page to see the rest of the list. This means that *someone* ends up getting pushed down on the list, ultimately being stuck on one of those pages that get a far less number of hits.

The people who play fairly are the ones who suffer. The great thing about the list is that people have an opportunity for their muds to be SEEN. Not that they have the chance to be in first place.

Being seen is what gets people to check out a mud, since without being seen, no one knows they exist. By cheating, the cheater is depriving another game of that opportunity.
