Mornin' made it by the skin of our teeth /again/ VUMP!
Top two scores as of this morning:
Total votes Firefly: 403583
Total votes Xena: 389684
Yesterday, Browncoats voted 1042 times.
Yesterday, Xenites voted 601 times.
(Xenites voted 441 times less than Browncoats, yesterday).
Firefly is 13,899 votes ahead of Xena!
Browncoat votes fell by 132 yesterday, 11.24%; Xenite votes fell by 97, 13.9%. Another slow day for votes. We need to pick it up!
Now, we shoot for our next big goal, 425,000, which is 21,417 votes away, about 20.55 days at current voting levels.
Further out is half a million, 96,417 votes away, still about 92.53 days out as we are currently voting.
4,283,789 votes have been counted as of 09/16/07; 11,385 were cast yesterday. In order to take ownership of 10% of all votes cast yesterday, we needed to vote 1,139 times, falling short by 97 votes. We are down to 9.4215187% of all votes ever cast.
We can still take that 10% slice of the pie on Rich Labonte's charts! If each of us voting managed to eke out just one more vote per day, it would make a huge difference; we could start catching up on that 10%, not to mention reaching our goal numbers much more quickly.
Our 1000+/day streak is still going strong, at 48 days, matching our previous best-ever streak, but it almost slipped away from us, yesterday! Just 26 days to beat Xena's all-time record of 73 days. Let's not let our votes start slip away from us, today!
Remember, on Thursday, September 20th, the anniversary of the very first airing of Firefly on TV, we shoot for our best votin' day ever! Our record was 2,359 (Xena's, which we should really shoot to beat, was 2,803).
Gotta work on these weekend votes, Browncoats! Just a little more, mebbe vote earlier in the morning, as well as later before bed, and, we can keep our streak going!

Ray,
"We can still take that 10% slice of the pie on Rich Labonte's charts! If each of us voting managed to eke out just one more vote per day, it would make a huge difference; we could start catching up on that 10%, not to mention reaching our goal numbers much more quickly."
Actually, I'm currently voting about more than 10 shows; this means each time I vote, it's diluting Firefly's share below your 10% goal line.
Why so many shows? These are shows which I like which I believe should be 'moving up' the chart. There are shows on the chart which I'm quite content to see stay where they are or move down a bit; for instance, I'm not currently voting 'Little House on the Prairie'; while I like it, I think it is at an 'appropriate' place on the chart.
While I'm 100% behind keeping Firefly at the top of the chart, I would suggest that you risk some counter-productive backlash by pushing for the 10% target goal.

Well, I've always been a firm believer in the notion of voting what you like, which is why, as I've said, before, in this topic, that I'd prefer folks not stop voting for their faves to boost the percentage.
That said, what I am proposing we aim for is Firefly's percentage share to be distinctly larger than, for example, Xena's. That would be visible by taking that pie slice to 10%. I can't claim to know exactly what the math would look like to get us there, but, I don't believe that the other shows Browncoats vote for, being a relatively small percentage of the total, overall votes those shows receive individually, have that large a statistical impact on this.
I've been tracking this at a very sub-decimal level, which is where we're gonna see any changes, +/-. Our numbers have crept up when our total votes per day has been higher; conversely, they drop when our votes drop, which has happened all too frequently, of late.
Really, this is just another goal to shoot for. Not sure how many Browncoat voters are even paying it much attention, but, it is another incentive to keep the overall numbers up. Aside from that, and, the more important goal of keeping our 1k+ votes/day streak going, at least until we beat Xena's record, we are in the enviable position of not being concerned about the competition.
So, instead, we are really in competition with ourselves, and, our goals. That is what will keep us voting. With nothing standing in our way but our voting rate, concrete, challenging goals, like the 10%, can keep us focused.
Long-winded essay BOTE!
