Every year
jayisgames.com (an indie game blog) has a "best of year" competition, where games of each category can be voted as the best of the year. Planet M.U.L.E. is among them. Let's give a big hand to this game and let's vote for it. You can find it at the link:
http://jayisgames.com/best-of/2009/download/tactical-or-strategy/The site allows for one vote per day per person during each voting period, so if each of us votes Planet M.U.L.E. each day, the game is going to collect a huge number of votes!
If Planet M.U.L.E. received the Audience Award (the game with the most votes), it will be in the spotlight for a while, and that should greatly increase the number of the players.
I think the game deserves this, and more players means less waiting in the lobby!
