This MONTHLY list:
http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/guilds/index.cfm/fuseaction/ShowAllTimeDMs.htm
You will find this interesting.
The DM list as it falls out at the end of each month is supposed to be ranked there. The top DM is found at the top under the month and year. Number 2 is next and so on.
Do a search for Barry and you will find me listed once in the months since 2002 -- the month Charissa won DM of the month -- Charissa is not listed there.
Search for Lisa_1066 and Wolfgang_10.
Then note my concern.
Since this is the record and many are incorrect - not just those mentioned but yes all the ones i mention here are missing or much is missing.

Looking at the monthly breakdown list a few points come to mind:
First it should be noted that once you've won the Hall of Fame, you are not listed in any lists there of a later date. It only lists those that participated for Inductee of that particular month. So not those that already won Hall of Fame.
That said, there are a bunch of odd things there. Namely, if we look at November 2004 of the overall breakdown we see that Scorpio60 is listed as No. 1. However, if we click his name we find that he has never won Hall of Fame. Also, he shows up in the list again at later dates, which is only possible if he did not win.
Now, if we then go and look at the winner for December 2004 we see Barry's name there. However, if we click on his name and view his profile we see that he won in NOVEMBER 2004. Consequently, he does not show up past November 2004, as he already won, so that seems to make sense at least.
In January 2005 we again find a DM, Gront, who is listed as no. 1 in the overall breakdown but never got into the Hall of Fame. This seems to be similar to what was found with Scorpio60.
After this it all goes well until we reach May 2005.
Here we find Charissa, listed as the winner. The only problem is that she won Hall of Fame for December 2004, not June 2005.
After Charissa we find Kadarr, listed as the winner of June 2005, whereas Kadarr won DM Hall of Fame in March 2003, over 2 years earlier. June 2005 was in fact won by myself. Only I don't show up anywhere in the monthly breakdown, even though I am listed as having a past win in the overall breakdown.
Now, this sparks my curiosity, seeing if Kadarr is listed as a winner in June 2005, then who's listed as winning March 2003? We find biocyde13 listed there. However, according to his profile he never won Hall of Fame.
Now I'm sure if I wanted too I'd find more of these oddities, however I think by now you all get the point. I personally cannot say I care a great deal if I show up in this breakdown or not, I run games because I want to make people enjoy themselves, not because I can win something on NWC with it. At the end of the day, the appreciation of players is worth more then a public price to me.
However, something strange is going on with this overall breakdown. I honestly hope there is a logical explanation for all of this, because it really doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
As a side question, which may potentially solve the problem at hand:
Is it even possible to win the DM Grand Hall of Fame more then once?
I know it is possible to win player Grand Hall of Fame twice, but that uses a different system then the DM Hall of Fame, so it really doesn't say much. I would not deem it unthinkable that it is simply not possible to win the DM Grand Hall of Fame more then once, due to how the system for it works. I don't know the exact mechanics behind the system though?

The DM lists reflects the status at the end of the month. They count points awarded during the month, and then the winner is reported at the end of the Month.
However, if a player later changes the vote (up or down) then the DM loses the points from the earlier Month and instead gains the new amount of points in the new month.
The lists on the page lists the number of remaining points the DM:s have from that month.
I'm fairly certain you are not suppossed to be able to win more than once. Just check how many times Lazybones appears in the list (once, and he wont the first time).
However, it may be so that some manual actions are required to make a winner not appear again in the lists at later months.

I'm getting a blank page whenever I try to accept an invite into a game - it does this to me whether I'm signing up as a dm or as a player. I'm using Opera, but it's never done this to me before.
