frobalt:
If I had to take a shot in the dark, the top voters list is generated using a SQL query that will only order by votes descending.

It will be ordered by another field where ties are concerned, which is likely to be the primary key for the users table, so the order is based on when the people joined up.

I'm really tired atm so sorry if this doesn't make sense.

This is probably the case. Its likely whoever voted first ever -Whoever joined the server first. However I am just guessing as well, its an internal MySQL behavior and not something explicitly chosen.
