THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING

by Hazed

We’ve just had some local elections in the UK, where people vote for candidates to sit on the local councils. This is traditionally the time that the electorate votes against the party currently in power, taking it as a chance to give them a kicking by casting a protest vote. This punishes the government for the unpopular things they have done, without actually doing much to affect the big issues in the country.

Voting for Fed is a much more positive affair. All you are doing is voting for your favorite online game - which, of course, is Fed! The running poll is conducted by The Mud Connector, one of the premier sites about games, and having Fed show up high in the rankings helps to attract new players.

The polls run for two months, with votes accumulating until the end of that period, when they are wiped and it all starts again. That’s what happened at the beginning of May, and as I write this, Fed is in the number 12 position.

Ideally we want to be in the top ten, because that will give us maximum visibility. So we need players to vote for us, to boost us up the rankings.

You can each vote once a day. If you do, it means that over the course of a two-month voting cycle you will add approximately 60 votes to our count. If you are not already voting, and you start now and keep voting every day, those extra votes will make the difference and will put us into the top ten.

So please, vote for Fed every day. You vote for Fed2 by clicking this link then clicking the Submit button. You can also vote by going to the front page of the ibgames website and clicking the vote button.

Thank you.
