I m really proud and pleased with my islands (excepting the accidentally- purchased Shugabush one, which is unpopulated). Probably the only people who will ever see them, though, are random viewers.This phenomenon accelerated with the advent of wishing torches, which I do not use, not because I have a nature like a hermit crab, but because they detract from my enjoyment of the islands. The price to pay for this decision is waiting months for a monster to appear, and having only a handful of votes. Many potential votes are diverted by two attractors of attention: "Top Islands" and "wishing torches." These tend to encourage tunnel vision. Followers of these paths have no time to spare to see the rest of the playing field. It's up to the individual player not to feel bad about that.
