VOTE FOR FED2 AND BE A BETTER PERSON

by Hazed

Fed numbers have gone up recently, and in the last week we've peaked at 100 a couple of times - which is amazing! Here's hoping this continues even over the summer months which are traditionally slower.

Extra people playing should translate into extra people voting for Fed2. If you're new to Fed2, you may not know about voting, so I shall explain.

The Mud Connector is the best site about multi-player games on the web, and it's where a lot of our new players come from. It lists all of the games available on the web so that people wanting to find a new game to play can read about what's available. But there are thousands upon thousands of text games, so TMC has a chart which lists the games in order of their popularity, as determined by player votes.

It's important that we get a good supply of newbods because we want the game to grow; without them, it will stagnate and eventually die. Keeping the game in the top ten of the listings is important, and the higher up the listings we are, the more likely people are to click on the link to us, rather than other games.

We are currently in the number 4 position in the charts, with (at the time of writing) 9611 votes. We're comfortably ahead of the number 5 game, which has 8882 votes, and we need to gain 751 votes to catch up with the number 3 game, with 10362 votes. That's a big batch of votes we need to make up, but we could do it over time if we can get more people to vote for us regularly.

TMC allow you to cast your vote every day, and votes older than 30 days old are discarded - so you need to keep on voting every single day to make sure your votes stick. If you start voting now and vote every day, that means that in a month's time you will have added 30 votes to our total.

Those who do already vote for Fed2 - thank you! Please continue to do so on a daily basis. If you don't - then start now, and make it a habit to go and vote every single day.
