No, it doesn't make me wonder how they got to the top 20 at all.
All it required was 13 people to vote twice each over a period of 10 days (which I believe is how long the current reset is at). Inferno, which is higher up on the list, has well over 100 players, and they're only in the 200+ count for votes as well.

Perhaps what Ages of Despair is doing is wrong...but I'm pretty confident that it isn't doing what it is intended to do - which is jack up the votes.

If the game you're playing isn't on the top 20 list, then maybe your player base is just too small to make a dent. That's really what it boils down to. The size of the player base = your game's place in the vote count. It has very little to do with whether or not the game is any good.
