I note that Tavern Builder only has, like 25 votes or so. What keeps their rating way up there is the fact that they have like 10000 click throughs.

In fact, this is true of a lot of the highest ranked sites - not that many actual votes, necessarily, but a huge number of clicks.

Bookmark the ratings page here: http://rpggateway.com/Ratings/ and use that page to link to this site every single time you come here, that can't hurt.

Actually, I found out first-hand that it can. Apparently, if your IP goes to the CBG (I assume just the main page) over 100 times in a certain amount of time, it gets banned. Then you can't vote until Ishy knows you're banned, finds your IP, and unblocks it.

So, outgoing links are very, very important, but try not to overdo it. Otherwise, you won't be able to vote.

Do it to bring down the evil kitten- (and apparently dog-)eating alcohol profiteers!

A sword! Yay! I can use it in defense of all the poor helpless kittens, and to help prevent more broken homes!

By the way, I forgot to mention that the Tavernmakers are all communists. We, on the other hand, strongly believe in an economy sustained by the competition for the rewards of hard work :)

If ten people voted in the next two hours, and-- on average-- clicked the outgoing link once every 40 seconds, we could rise another rank in those two hours. Naturally, I wouldn't expect that much from just ten people, but my point is we should be up another rank or two by tomorrow!

So, interesting trendf.  Both ourselves and the tavernmaker lost a spot..  Us to #18, them to #10.  Hard to fathom all the Star Wars Combiner kids crsuning the 2 of us.  But right now, small goals.  We need to close in on the kitten-eating tavern maker.  We need to hold our ground and watch them fall, if nothing else.

Wait a second...if we know that we're better than the Tavernmaker, why should we devote time to complaining about how he's beating us?

Fine.  Thanks for the easy solution.  You get to arrange the busing.  Ask Limetom which Island he needs to be bussed from.  Sheesh!

hah!

We are holding our ground at #18.

The Kitten eating alocholics are slipping, now daown to #16.  Keep up the good work.  World-builders are almost equal to the little bar-builder...

Whoever is stuffing the ballot box for numbers 10-15 is doing a bang-up job of it. Puts our efforts to shame.
