Hm, highly suspicious. They're not even denying it!

How can a mud that had 3 players on when i logged on manage to get 400+ votes?

If you want me to do something about it you need to email me with proof - I don't necessarily read all the threads. I simply don't have time (or the inclination) to spend all day searching muds based on peoples' speculations and suspicions.

As far as the Turning Point issue is concerned, if the same players are voting via different IPs, then that is against the rules. If they continue this, their account on the ranking list will be suspended.

Now that I can reply here... I really wanted to earlier, but my account wasn't activated yet. Obviously, it is now.

I wanted to show you how I've addressed the concerns brought up by jediwannabe. I just posted this to our own forums, which most of our players read.

Also, I'm sorry if folks have only seen 3 and 6 players on at a time. In the evenings we average around 20-30 online. I also just ran the following:

# grep -h Email * | sort -u | grep @ | wc
   286     573    8102

So, we do have about 286 unique email addresses out of about 2000 player files. We do have a few players out there, I'm sure that isn't as many as many other muds though.

My messages to the players on our boards are quoted here:

I also followed that one up after reading the rules a second time with:

Hopefully this will address any concerns. If it doesn't, please feel free to follow up here.

Thank you, and my apologies.

You aren't the only ones who weren't aware of the rules change - and changed policy when informed.
