It's not hypocrisy to be competitive. To dislike something, but be forced to do it in an effort to be competitive isn't hypocrisy. It's sad, is what it is.
My opinion is why not promise to run quests with uber-powerful weapons, if your MUD reaches a certain point on the list. Give out free unlimited sanctuary orbs, super-weapons, and lots of gold. Temporary HP, Mana, and Move boosts, etc.
If someone wants to offer a spell up or a restore for voting, one up them. Offer the above. Just remind me to stay away, because eventually people will be offering free avatars, special classes that can't be picked by a mortals, etc.
I think I'll start giving people an incentive to vote. "If we get in the top 30, I'll give you all a character with 10% more hp/mana/move, and a lower exp base than the rest." *rolls his eyes, and walks away disgusted*
