While I can't comment about the rest of the games "claims", I will say the following from the Dragon's Gate listing:

"be a part of a game that helped start the MUD'ing craze over 10 years ago"

Is entirely true, it's 12 years ago going on 13 now I believe, if you go check out the history of MUD'ing website (not sure where that link went, but it's out there) you'll see the who's, how's, why's and what's of one of the original GEnie MUD games, and how it's one of the precious few left with ties to the early days of MUD'ing! With everything else up there, an understandable confusion =) I do think it'd be a good idea if TMS both investigated the claims made by the listed games (and removed those permenantly with false claims), as well as took a look at certain games handing out experience, etc. for voting, seems a little against the spirit of it all!

Best!
