Another voting quarter has started, and the Inn has yet to make the minimum 10 votes to be posted. I'm on vacation, so my voting is sporadic lately. Last quarter we made it up to spot 11 from the 30s.
Being high on the list can only help the Inn's profile.
I'm not happy we didn't make it to the top 10, but the number 1 and 10 spots apparently cheated by awarding in-game gold for voting. I tried to sign up for the number one site, Eternal Wars, to verify the practice, but I didn't get the required response from the moderators. It sucks they get away with it, as that site is set up to make a profit. Only someone who registers a site for voting may communicate with the RPG Gateway Top 100--annoying.
Regardless of tactics, we did very well riding on the backs of some regular voters. I'd like to thank everybody and call for another round using the links in drathe's, Sjeng's, or my sig. Our permanent rating jumped up a lot, so that works in our favor for the next voting quarter. If we do a repeat, we are due to make the top 10 despite others' shady ways.
