So if I were to post the following topic at Colbert Nation... would it help with publicity for our cause or just make matters in the voting polls worse? Whatcha think?
"Of course, you realize this means war."
"Stephen Colbert, many of us love you. We even believe you are America and so can we, or so our dollars that we traded for your book would indicate. We would have voted for you, had become a presidential candidate. But you have done the unforgivable. You have mobilized the Colbert Nation against the Whedonverse.
That's right; it is no mere coincidence that the name Serenity is the highest result in the polls. The Browncoats, dedicated to the interests of reviving our beloved Firefly and Serenity, have taken it upon ourselves to win the highest number of votes. Remember, we have done the impossible before, and that makes us mighty. And here we were hoping for a Colbert bump on behalf of Joss Whedon and Firefly/Serenity! Well, we just may get it after all, haHA.
And by the way, Firefly DVDs were on the space station before your DNA was, thanks to Steven Swanson!"
I'll take any and all feedback, of course! Gotta wait on fellow Browncoat approval before posting a message like this one. :)

Nice speech, but it may just mobilize some folks against those "Sci-Fi geeks"
How bout we declare victory after we win in 16 days?

By this time tomorrow, "Colbert" will be in the lead.

Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.

I posted something on his boards right after seeing that part of The Report. I think we're screwed, unless we somehow can get Stephen into bowing out because he respects our cause... haha! I'll keep voting, but we're done for.

That's happened to me and a couple of other folk. I think the site "knows you" now, and won't let you vote again. (Unless you get reset after 24 hours.)
If you go back to the poll on a different machine you should be able to get there.
I tried a variety of cache-clearing and similar trickery, but to no avail. Then it occurred to me I was trying to outsmart NASA...

Not sure what's up; I can see the percentages just fine. We're holding at 86% if that thing can be believed, but I don't think it factors the suggestions in because I'm *certain* they would have made a dent by now. Colbert has definitely moved to the top of the write-in votes, though we can't see percentages on those. Last night the vote total had about 100055 votes (right after I heard Colbert's announcement). Now it has 117893. If I crunched the numbers right, before the titans clashed, Serenity had about 86000 votes.
Okay... I won't post my challenge over there unless I get a vote of approval here, though I doubt anything I write could stir them up as much as his call to arms did anyway. :P My "speech" was slightly incendiary.
Mostly keep voting and spread the word to other Firefly sites, right? I see that Whedonesque took down the post from last night (maybe someone thought it was off-topic...?).
Edit: in the span of writing my post, the poll is now up to 119575. We may be in trouble.
