As for the #1 on the list etc... I admit I did try Achaea simply because it was above DR on the list. I won't go into my likes and dislikes of the game. While I don't care for the way they are getting their votes, it is getting them what they want, attention. So if this list wants a more representative view of what muds are so good that their players want to vote for it, than perhaps the actual voting needs to be a little more difficult.
Require an actual account for 1. It is simply too easy for someone to skew the results simply by voting with a couple clicks of a mouse. And it also makes it really easy for games to offer incentives to their players for voting, since it requires little effort from the players. If they were forced to fill out an extensive list just to be able to vote, and log in everytime that might serve as a deturrent from that sort of practice.
Additionally adding a listing for players over 100 perhaps in 100 player intervals, and then using percentages rather than sheer numbers would make the listing more representative of player views rather than population sizes. In addition to allowing only 1 vote per account per day, at the maximum.
Unfortunatly this would probably detract from this sites profitability, and from the hits that everyone enjoys due to the large number of people voting over and over to make their mud win.
