When I think back to when I started voted (early October or so) and how we weren't even close to being in the top 5 (I believe we were in about 7th or 8th place) and I look how we are over 10,000 votes ahead of the next closest competitor now I ... I am simply astounded!
In such little time Firefly has shot ahead and we've shown no signs of slowing, only speeding up!
This time we're not the losing side!

Flattop, you seem to be the one crunching the numbers, is there a way to calculate our rate of acceleration in votes per day and then see how long until we take first? It seems like it won't be long before we hit 900 a day and then 1000 a day. At the rate, could we be in first by early next year?
Anyway, vote number 10 for me....BUMP!

Shiney A new number crunch! I'm sitting at home now, and the trendsheet is (of course) at work, so I won't be able to play with it until tomorrow...
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: As the projections are extended further into the future, and are required to cover a greater span of votes, they become decreasingly stable given the small sample period currently trended.
Painfully long answer:
There are a bunch of variables that I cannot currently account for, like:
Thanksgiving break next week. Will we get more votes because students are not in class & can vote regularly? Or do we get fewer votes because corporate types such as myself no longer have access to multiple machines?
That goes for pretty much all of the holidays. Christmas, New Years, Summer break, Euro-holidays... Perhaps there is some seasonality trend as well (is Serenifly more poplular during the winter when folks are indoors more or...?)
Do the Princess' and Bonanzai experience the same trends? Or do they have a different demographic that is more/less stable?
OK, there're my disclaimers.
I'm more than happy to do the projections, but they are just computer aided guestimations 'k? I'll update them semi-regular as more data comes available (time passes and variables get accounted for).Quote:
...At the rate, could we be in first by early next year?
Not likely. Even if they quit voting. By early next year we should be in the number 3 slot, and closing. Current projections show Bonanza passing Xena before we catch them, but that's a long range projection based on a linear model (seemed reasonable at the time), with the new projection... we'll see.

I thought your answer would be something like that, but still, that guesstimation would be cool to see.
Its comforting to know that a lot of those variables could work in our favor though. As a student I know the upcoming holidays will mean more votes out of me, plus we have Dec 1st to look forward to!
KEEP VOTING!
