Both good observations. Proof of the pudding is whether or not they suddenly surge way ahead of us, again.

Well, my understanding is that the quarantine requirements have been lightened, if you have your pets examined and inoculated before the trip, and they have an exam on arrival, and are returned to you a few hours later... Still need to check that to make sure.

But, the other problem is that it's a sixteen hour trip by air, and that can be hell to a human. I just couldn't see doing that to a cat or dog, even if they could be in the main cabin, and not down in pressurized cargo. Plus, Hawai'i already has so many unwanted animals (just like everywhere else ='[.];=) that it makes more sense to adopt after we get there and settled in.

Doin' alright so far, VUMP!

I think we got something good going here. By putting all the new polls people found in the first message of the thread, we provide a central location for voting Browncoats to find out where to make a difference. Props to Flattop for managing that, but we all make a difference by finding polls, and letting us all know.

And we all vote, and report on how some of the "vote more than once" polls are going.

At weekinwhedon, we are holding off the Angelite counterattack. We got in 23 votes in the last 24 hours, versus only 8 for the Angelites. This is one we have to hammer away at for a few weeks to nail down a victory.

Same thing with the BBC poll, where a few dozen people voting their each day can get us a notable win on a major media site.

We'll just have to grind it out on tvtally, where the Rangers are not giving up, but are also beatable.

Just a newsflash for Rallem and any other smegheads we have among us:

http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=4077708

"New Red Dwarf Specials Confirmed

19 September, 2008

New specials? Proper information? After all the rumours? Oh smeg yes.

reddwarf.co.uk has the facts. As announced by Robert Llewellyn for Grant Naylor Productions this week at the UKTV seasonal press launch, the project is a short series of brand new specials to celebrate the 21st birthday of Red Dwarf.

New Red Dwarf Specials Confirmed New Red Dwarf Specials Confirmed New Red Dwarf Specials Confirmed

Doug Naylor will be masterminding the four half-hour instalments, and the regular cast will all be reprising their iconic roles. They are being made by GNP for UKTV's free-to-air channel, Dave - our new best friends!

Red Dwarf repeats on Dave - including an anniversary weekend run - have picked up remarkable numbers since the channel was reborn on Freeview, and it's becoming clear to all concerned that the show is picking a new, third generation audience. With the usual involvement from Red Dwarf partners BBC Worldwide, you can also expect international broadcasts to follow (and, we'd imagine, a top-quality DVD release in the fullness of time).

"It's very new news to me - I really only fully heard the details yesterday," Robert told comedian/host Michael McIntyre. "We're doing four new shows with the original cast. Two of them are going to be, like, proper episodes of Red Dwarf. One of them is so exciting I've been asked not to say anything about that because other people will steal the idea - and it is a great idea, quite challenging for us as performers. And the other one is a kind of behind-the-scenes-y... the truth. There's been so many rumours and gossip about Red Dwarf, about whether there's going to be a movie and whether we all get on, all those things... The downside for me, which is just dawning on me now, is I've got to do the 'rubber' thing again, which I haven't done for ten years."

For the record, and direct from the makers, the details of the four shows right now - while wholly subject to change - are:

Show One - The Making Of The Specials
A highly entertaining look at what goes on behind the scenes on a Red Dwarf production.

Show Two - Red Dwarf Special: Part One
The cast get back into character, and costume, a decade on...

Show Three - Red Dwarf Special: Part Two
The adventure continues...

Show Four - A Clip Show With a Serious Difference
The cast do it their way. Red Dwarf as you have never, ever seen it before!

The shows will broadcast sometime in 2009 and, if successful, could pave the way for further Red Dwarf TV projects. Thanks to movie and broadcaster wrangles, Grant Naylor haven't been in a position to produce new Red Dwarf since Series VIII went out to audiences of over eight million in 1999. This exciting development suggests a new and shiny future for everyone's favourite sci-fi comedy.

To be kept in the loop as we cover the new production, register your email address with reddwarf.co.uk in the box at the bottom of the page.

The Boys from the Dwarf are back!"

Flattop, here's a URL that will take you directly to Serenity on the space.com poll;
www.space.com/php/multimedia/spacemovies/
index.php?url=spacemovies_serenity_00.jpg&cat=spacemovies

The problem with this long link is that you cannot display it here, but you can take it and paste it in your browser, then bookmark it.

Meanwhile, the Angelites didn't show up at weekinwhedon today, so we are now 1023 away (gaining 35 in one day.)

22 votes cast at the BBC site yesterday, most of them for Serenity. More votes here are a big help, because every vote literally counts, for a lot.

Jericho keeps getting ahead of us at tvtally. Probably because some of the Rangers are using the cheat (they download another browser, like the new Google Chrome, and set it so cookies are off, and then just use it to vote at TVTally, where they can cast six votes every six hours, or less). I'd like to nuke those dastardly cheaters, oops, someone's already done that...

Here's a TinyURL (courtesy of TinyURL.com) for the Spacemovies poll:

http://tinyurl.com/Serenitypoll

As for the Jericho vote at TV Tally, I am saddened that a few over-zealous folks have had to resort to the tactics you describe to maintain their lead over Firefly. The missus and I are fans of the show, too, but you won't see us cheatin' to advance it, any more than we would Firefly. It's just a shameful thing to do, and I doubt most Rangers would stoop to such tactics.

I certainly don't expect any Browncoats to be voting more than their fair ONCE per six hours at TV Tally, no matter how many computers or browsers or what have you, because we KNOW that's cheating. Even if it means Jericho somehow always manages to get just enough votes to stay ahead of us, we know that legitimate votes count, while those cast by whatever means to get in more than the rules allow are meaningless.

So, if they cheat, we win, no matter what the numbers look like.

Fair's fair, and that's all that counts, VUMP!

Those radioactive scamps are now ahead 628-617. We're still a contender for this week. We'll just wear them down. And when you see votes go up in increments of six, it means someone is using the no-cookies cheat.

Meanwhile, we made a breakthrough at weekinwhedon, getting below a thousand votes behind (987, while at the end of August we were 1157 behind). In the last 24 hours, we got in 38 votes, while the Angelites, all two of them, got in two. Every vote counts here.

On the eastern front, BBC got some heavy action (mostly from Browncoats) in the last 24 hours; 41 votes. Another few days like that and we'll have 40 percent of the vote (and Star Wars will be close to 29 percent).

We may be few, but we are mighty, and annoyingly persistent.

I technically do cheat according to the rules someone wrote down yesterday where they felt it was only right to vote once every six hours no matter how many computers you own or whether you use the cookies cheat. I nom at home early in the morning when I feed my dog her breakfast, and once before I come to work in the afternoon. At work I start the process all over gain where I nom at about 2pm and then again just before I leave for home where I nom once again. Most people get three noms in a day and in my method I get in five.

The only way we maintain the moral high ground is for all of us to strictly adhere to the rules as stated, letter AND intent.

If any of us votes on TV Tally more than ONCE in any given six-hour period, that's cheating. We know the rules, and so do our opponents. The question is, do we allow ourselves to rationalize the same sort of loopholes that they do, and sink to their level, or do we do our best according to the rules, and win because we have the numbers of devoted fans to get the votes to do it?

Even if Jericho does (inevitably) get more votes than we do at the end of the week, we know that their vote total is not only suspect, but substantially tainted. How do we know this? I'll be showing you all how I know this in the next day or two, once I collate the data I've collected.

Again, there are definitely also Rangers who have stated that they only cast the allowed number of votes, so not all Jericho voters are behind this (nor do there need to be many, to boost their score ahead of ours whenever they fall behind us).

Bottom line is, currently, it will be impossible for Firefly to "win" based on the numbers which post on TV Tally. If they cheat, they win. If we cheat, then it becomes a war of cheaters, and completely pointless. If we don't cheat, we can ignore their score completely, since it is invalidated by their actions, and WE win.

Or, we can just walk away and let them have their little poll. I'd as soon make 'em sweat, and show 'em what we can do with REAL numbers.

Still only casting legitimate, 6-hour votes, VUMP!

3. Jericho 43 13.44%

About this cheating thing. If you are one of those people (and they do exist) who have their browsers set to no cookies, and they find that they can vote for Firefly six times every six hours, is that cheating? Can't it be considered a reward for withdrawing from the corrupt and much abused cookie culture?

Meanwhile, progress is being made at weekinwhedon, where we have closed the gap to 958 votes behind in the last 24 hours (from 987). In that period, there were 15 votes for Angel, but 48 for Firefly. We are not only mighty, but we are more numerous.

Same thing at BBC, where 44 votes were cast in the last 24 hours, most of them for Firefly. We at 39.91 percent, SW is at 30.63 percent (which is still more than they deserve.

That sure would seem to be the rationalization that I discovered in my research into the Jericho voting; they clearly have no compunctions about emptying the cookie jar to vote as often as they deem necessary.

Gorram right it's cheating, whether done for The X Files, Jericho, or Firefly!

To cast more than your fair share of votes (i.e. once every six hours) is theft! It's stealing victory from those who vote honestly, cookies or no, VUMP!

Alright. Just in case there are any vumpers here who are in doubt that Jericho's consistent success on TV Tally results from anything less that pristine voting, here are a few screen caps for you, from their own voting thread, on CBS...

This is one Ranger's question about the validity of using the method their vote-leader, Tothal, cooked up for them to use on TV Tally, to get as many votes as they needed to stay ahead:

It is worth noting that Flowerlady, the other voting ringleader, reassured Tapsel that it was, indeed, alright to use a method that allowed one to vote more than once every six hours.

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 3:40 AM

Here's a screen cap of instructions for the technologically-limited voters who, despite a lack of facility with downloading programs, still wanted a way to get more votes in on TV Tally:

This is Tothal admonishing Flowerlady to be vigilant over TV Tally's status:

This is Flowerlady's reply:

With only 1 vote/6 hours, you either vote enough, or you don't. How do you "Take care" of the voting on TV Tally... Unless...

...You cast more than one vote at a time.

As for how, well, there are a variety of combinations of browsers and specialty programs which allow automated deletion of cookies, which pretty much gives one carte blanche on the less-well protected polls to cast as many votes as desired:

...When they work.

There are tons more posts of their efforts to cheat on other polls, including the happily-received autovoter on TV Vote, which they all swore up and down they didn't know was against the rules when Rich busted 'em.

Pretty sad, but that's the path down which I would hate to see us go. Let's keep to the straight and narrow, with hard-earned victories, not cheating to win at any cost.

On the other hand, please don't tar all Rangers with this brush; most of 'em wouldn't cheat just to win an internet poll. They're mostly the same as we are, and we have a lot in common.

I agree about getting a kitty when you get to Hawaii, I hear that they have a problem with strays over there. I am glad that the restrictions on bringing animals in is a little better.
How long have you been planning on moving there? I know jobs are very scarce, I understand that if you are related to an Islander your job prospects are better, jobs go to family. My biggest problem when I was thinksing of moving was finding a job, none were available.
