Also wouldn't pairing them up like they did in that poll potentially discriminate some really good ships that were against another really cool ship? Shouldn't they have made a list of ships and asked the voters to choose the top 10 and then from there move on to the next round?

I suppose we would be JUST a little biased yes.....who's going to argue with the biggest fan base though? Heee heeee heeee.

Something I noticed (probably the last to do so) was that they listed the nerfherder and his wookies ship (ok I'll say it, the Falcon) as being 27 meters long and Serenity is supposed to be 62 meters long. Looking at pics without any references for scale, I would never have guessed that big a difference. They look like they'd be around the same length......

Mal's expression in the scrapyard when he first see's Serenity says it all.

Heh, heh.
SpaceShipVote
Pretty much use all of Rich's code from TVVote, but have folk vote for their favorite space ship (fictional or otherwise). Top40, Noms, the whole bit.
Did anyone else have to erase "vump" from the bottom of their post?

Not yet, but "bump" just doesn't have the same... impact.

FlyVoye was one of the most UNDERUTILIZED resources available in TV Vote. I didn't use it, myself, as I spent too much time away from the computer for a pop-up reminder to help me; instead, I kept a Timex travel alarm in my pocket, advancing the time after every vote.

But I tried to encourage all our friends to use FlyVote, whenever their circumstances permitted it. From the lack of affirmative response, I think many folks felt intimidated by the notion of downloading a program, even to help them vote. Of course, those who did, loved it!

Rich Labonte also promoted FlyVote, and also seemed surprised that more voters didn't use it.

Ah, well.

Bump.

Olympics are done (for me, tonight), Gold and Silver for the Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson in individual gymnastics. Very satisfying, after some squirrelly judging early on.

G'night, all!

HI Everybody! Posting instead of voting.....

Ray, I was afraid to load Flyvote down,...my system would have flagged it, we don't have programs/macros that run for 8 hours or more and for sure work would have caught me. I just had a sticky with what time I voted last....
