I decided that instead of waiting for links on the forums, I would just put them in my sig so I could click them any time I wanted to while browsing.

Major posters: Do the same!

I'll see if I can find some code to make some zMUD vote buttons too.

No, I am not joining a bandwagon or copying Aristan, but here it is in my sig too. Now go vote, cuz I think my 3 or 4 a day don't make much of a difference, and I KNOW it is working. We had a player on tonight that was a 1st time text gamer. . .can we say "1st time crack buyer? Let's get some folks addicted!"

Now this is a cause worth supporting.

I'm surprised no one thought of it sooner.

And as promised, zMUD button code so that you can visit the sites while you mud.

Right-click on the button, choose Position/Size. Set the button size to 200 wide x 37 high, and choose the bottom setting for maximum effect.

Code: Select all

#BUTTON 1 {} {#url http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/topmuds/rankem.cgi?id=shev} {} {} {} {} {tms.bmp} {} {} {} {} {} {} {7} {} {} {} "" {} {} {TMS}
#BUTTON 2 {} {#url http://www.mudconnect.com/cgi-bin/vote_rank.cgi?mud=TorilMud,+the+Sojourner's+Home} {} {} {} {} {tmc.bmp} {} {} {} {} {} {} {7} {} {} {} "" {} {} {TMC}
#BUTTON 3 {} {#url http://www.mudmagic.com/listings/game/609} {} {} {} {} {mm.bmp} {} {} {} {} {} {} {7} {} {} {} "" {} {} {MM}


The bmp files can be downloaded here:

Top MUD Sites
The MUD Connector
MudMagic (aka Kyndig)

Simply save these 3 files in your root zMUD folder, copy/paste the button script into a .txt and import it, and you're set. If the images don't display, simply right-click on the button again and click on any tab. That should refresh the button automatically.

Also posting a copy of this in the MUD client forum too!

Added a URL catcher to help with voting, also to make your mudding experience a little more pleasant.

They re-set the counters, we need an all-out blitz to stay in the top 10, right now 2 votes away from top 10 on topmudsites, we are at 1 on Kyndig though. Mudconnector has us in the 20's.

Go vote!

They're doing that a lot lately. I think it's because they're on the take from other places, or have some vested interest in maintaining some other people above us.

So I was sitting with an hour of work left and realized that I hadn't voted yet. . .so I did. Did you?

The following link off the Mud Connector:

http://www.mudconnect.com/mud-bin/telne ... d.org:9999

seems to be "telnet voting" and appears to have the same weighting as the ordinary vote?

Posted: Tue May 24, 2005 1:15 am

That's just for the raw telnet ranking, not voting...

I see some of you are slacking. Just a friendly reminder to keep voting.

I wonder if there are disgruntled folks in the muds that are in the 13 or 14 places above us. . . . . Let's get a bit higher :)

Posted this in the script forum last night, but I'll post it here as well.

I updated the graphics for the vote buttons in zMUD. The images are the same filenames as the old ones, and replaced the ghetto banner images on www.threewest.com. If you're using my zMUD button code, feel free to download the new images over the old ones, that's all the change you have to make. No script changes are necessary.

Enjoy!

Bump!

They reset the counters on top mud sites, and we're #20 and falling! We're about to be pushed off the first page!

So, Cyric got us some PAID advertising space. CHEER for the imms. Now get out there and vote!

By the way, why is our rating only green and ranked #2 on Kyndig? It is our RIGHT to be at #1.

In closing, I would just like to say, GO VOTE and GO RANK Toril!

That is all for now, but if you show me your voting tokens, you just might get rescued over me doing hitall :p

Go Vote! We are not even in the top 20 on Top Mud, and that is where we have paid for advertising.

I made this a sticky topic for others to easily find it.

VOTE for us if you lub us! ... and even if you don't!

Just an FYI...you now have the option to both hit the homepage *and* telnet from Mudconnector. If we get these 2 numbers up, our overall ranking will climb.

In order to get a successful webpage/telnet hit, you must essentially "vote" again. So yes, you will have to vote at least twice. Ultimately, only one vote is recorded, but in doing these two steps, you can boost all 3 numbers at once.

Nice to see we're back up to 19th on Top Mud Sites!

Just to clarify.. we need to vote 3 times on the mudconnector site?

On mudconnector it seems we need to:
1. vote for the game
2. vote for telnet
3. vote for Torilmud webpage

You don't *have* to use the actual voting link to do a straight-up vote. You can set up the URL's to vote via telnet/webpage.

Those links are:

Webpage

and

Telnet

Feel free to update your links if you wish. Keep in mind, you don't have to actually connect to the MUD on the telnet link for it to work, just successfully enter the 6 digit vote code. Successful code input is also the determinant for a successful webpage hit.

To clarify my post (at the risk of harping)..

At the moment we are 19th on Mudconnector:

Code: Select all

Mud Name                                     Ranking Telnet Homepage Votes
17. LegendMUD                               4.4086     134           131   145 
18. Shadows of Isildur                     4.3871         4             6    398 
19. TorilMud, the Sojourner's Home  4.3333        28             5    370 


Legend mud has 145 votes.. we have 370.. however Legend Mud has many more Telnet and Homepage votes than we do..

it looks to me like we need to vote 3 times on the mudconnector site to increase our ranking.


EDIT: how to get the numbers lined up escapes me atm
