Since the previous thread is getting unwieldy but gnashing of teeth should still probably be going on I give you this hiatus thread.

(REPOSTED for your pleasure)

Mornin,' vumpers.

4,612,636 votes were counted as of 10/12/07; not sure how many votes got through or were counted, subsequent to that, before Rich locked the site down.

Rich has declared his intention, at this point, to continue with TVVote until 5,000,000 votes have been cast in the Top 40. That leaves 387,364, +/-. (ETA: Mebbe. Mebbe longer. Who knows?)

Just using the last counted day's total votes ('cause I'm too lazy to work up a daily average for the previous week =^[.]~=), 12,658, as a divisor, that leaves just over 30 remaining voting days, once Rich restarts things. That's 30 days to reach 500k.

At last count, we were 63,286 votes short of 500k. You do the math. Actually, I'll do the math: That would require us to get at least an average 2,110 votes each of the remaining 30 days.

Good news is, if we manage that, we will have gone over 100 days at 1k+ votes/day.

I don't have to spell out the bad news.

Anyway, I'll still be vumpin' like a wild man, right up to the bitter end. No one is ever gonna catch us up; Xena would have to crank out 1,051 more votes, each day, than we did, last recorded voting day (1,263), for 30 days, to beat us.

So, let's go out with a bang! Meanwhile, if you know ANY Browncoats who have voted but stopped, 'cause there was no end in sight, or, who have never voted, let 'em know we're gonna need 'em, next weekend!

I'll be in my training montage.

Heynielsen.com is worth some effort, as it has grown enormously over the last few months (according to siteanalytics.compete.com), and is now got four times the traffic of richlabonte.net, and about the same as us at fireflyfans.net.

However, if you want a multiple vote fix, check out;
www.space.com/php/multimedia/spacemovies/
index.php?url=spacemovies_serenity_00.jpg&cat=spacemovies

This is a huge site (nearly a million visitors a month) where we are being beaten by Star Wars. I believe you can vote once a day. We were stuck at number 10 for a while, but a few Browncoats have managed to get us up to number six. There is more work to be done here.

BTW, just take the above URL and turn it into a new location item on your desktop. Click once a day, to get a needed fix.

Hey, does this make me a pusher?

I only discovered the Google voting site 9/19 through this thread and since I'm retired and a partial agoraphobe I've had the opportunity to cast 238 votes before the shutdown. Looking forward to continuing when the voting site is back up. The least I can do for one of the best series of any genre ever created.

BTW, what does "vump" mean?

Welcome aboard, Josephus!

Vump means to cast a vote, then, post here to bump the thread (push it to the top of the threads list on the left side of the page).

Bote is the corollary, to bump the thread and then to vote.

Can I make a suggestion re the new threads?

Please don't think this is a post against your threads DaveShayne - as you're right, due to more vumpers, voting thread does get full quicker.

As Flat starts a new thread on Mondays, I feel, it doesn't serve much purpose opening a thread on sunday. I think it would be better if in addition to the Monday thread, there was a Thursday (Or maybe Friday) thread by either yourself or Flat.

I feel that would be more effective, it would break the voting week pretty evenly and it would keep consistency. By Sunday the threads pretty full anyway, whereas by Thursday/Friday it's not as bad.

Just my thoughts, not sure if anyone agrees.

Hello Firefly fans, I've been lurking on your site (pretty neat set up by the way) probably since March. I'm a Gunsmoke fan for sure followed by many of the other westerns. Probably much older than most of you too, hence I don't really get into the sci-fis (tho I did watch OStarTrek and XFiles. Never watched Firefly but from the photos i've checked out it looks like a futuristic western of sorts connection. Anyhow, after the ruckus over on tvvote, I thought I'd introduce myself. I see so many shows being tossed about that "may" have had their share of inacuracies. I'd like to believe not many did. However, I even without seeing Firefly, thought you were doing a grand vote going for that 400,000 mark and ended up voting several times for the show sight unseen. I have previously posted results on several Gunsmoke lists and when Firefly is mentioned, I think 90% had no idea what it was, but, several have actually gone out and bought the video sets and have told me how much they enjoy the show. (lol, almost as much as Gunsmoke). If you haven't watched Gunsmoke before or if you watched the later color editions, you really should dig deeper into Gunsmoke and go back to the Black and white episodes, you'd be surprised how well and tight the scripts, sets and characters were. You may even see some similarities.

By the way Raycheetah, as a fire department photographer, thank you for donating firefly sets to fire stations, that is a great gesture on your part.
take care all, sorry for the long post, may everyone prosper when tv vote is back.

Hey Westernmarshal.......I'm certainly no "spokesperson" for this site, but let me tell you how much I appreciate your post. I too am older than most Browncoats here. I grew up watching all those great TV Westerns of the 60's like Gunsmoke, Bonanaza, Big Valley, Death Valley Days, Rawhide, Lancer, Wagon Train, Branded, The Rifleman, Rin Tin Tin, etc etc etc. Gunsmoke was indeed a terrific show, but I think a lot of today's youth would find it too violent and too much a product of pre-political corectness to bear nowadays. Anyhow, keep up the fun competition!

Ni howdy, and, welcome aboard, Marshal!

Glad to have you! Better heads'n I have noted the similarities between Fireflly and many of the classic Western TV series; on the TV Vote Google group, I noted that what a Laramie fan had to say about the character interactions there sounded a lot like our BDHs (Big Damn Heroes).

I'm old enough to remember a lot of the older shows, though, I was a weird kid, wasn't into Westerns (one reason I almost didn't watch Firefly, when "The Train Job" was first aired, too Western for my tastes; I watched anyway, and, got hooked). As a Browncoat, though, I am always happy when anybody is willing to give Firefly a chance, and, glad to hear their feedback.

So, drop on by whenever you feel like it, Marshal. Just don't try to take any of us into custody; we're all way too busy to be bound by law, right now.

Oh, and, when I was a kid, my dad was with a VFD, so, I still retain a special friendship and, awe, really, for the first-responders. Not a job I'm sure I could handle, m'self, so, I'm glad there're those who can.

Speaking of which: What ever happened to shows like Emergency? Dun see the likes, much, anymore.

Be well!

A little more info about Rankopedia:

You have to register, first, but, you can vote on any individual poll once per day. Be sure to click on the Arts and Entertainment link on the left side, and, focus on Movies and TV; vote on any poll once per day.

Also, be sure that, once you hit the "I want to vote" button, you scroll down to the bottom of the candidates; a lot of our BDHs (and others) are new, and, at the bottom of the polls. If you want to add a candidate you don't see listed, use the green +sign button. Please be very careful to enter the required info carefully.

Also, here's another voting site, you have to register, but it's free . You can vote for 3 shows every six hours, but you can't vote for the same show twice in those six hours. Still, it is voting, and I vote about once a day (as I have a busy schedual)

Oh, up in the upper right corner, you'll see two flags, one American, one French. Click on the American flag, which will reset the page in English (most of the time, since some polls are apparently only in French). Once you get the hang of the site, though, it won't usually matter in which language you vote.

Also, don't forget to mark the polls as favorites, or, if you prefer, just do it from your favorites page. That way, you won't ever have to hunt 'em up, again.

Hope that helps!

You have to register, first, but, you can vote on any individual poll once per day. Be sure to click on the Arts and Entertainment link on the left side, and, focus on Movies and TV; vote on any poll once per day. Be aware that most polls require you select a mininum of three candidates when you vote.

You can set any poll you like as a favorite; that way, you won't have to hunt it up on the lists every day. In fact, if you've already voted on a bunch of polls, you can hit a button under favorites that will list every poll you've voted on as a favorite. Saves a LOTTA diggin'! Also, be sure that, once you hit the "I want to vote" button, you scroll down to the bottom of the candidates; a lot of our BDHs (and others) are new, and, at the bottom of the polls. If you want to add a candidate you don't see listed, use the green +sign button. Please be very careful to enter the required info carefully.

Here are polls which include Firefly/Serenity related candidates (not to be considered exhaustive):

TV

Best American TV series ever
Best TV spaceship
Best Television Show Ever
Favorite TV Character Ever
Best Theme Music for a TV Series
Favourite Firefly Character
Show With The Most Impact
Best Catchphrase From a TV Show

Male TV character you would want leading you in a crisis
Female TV Character you would want leading you in a crisis

If anybody finds more polls which apply, please let us know!

Let's see if we can overtake some polls!

Ermm, bit of a clarifying news-flash:

"You can vote in a ranking as many times as you want but only your last vote will be recorded. The older vote will be replaced with the newer one."

So... This won't be as big a job as we might've thought. I've been adding our BDHs (and a coupla villains) to some polls I've revisited; might be cause to modify your votes. If you haven't already noticed, your previous vote is shown on the right hand column of the poll you're looking at.

A few more polls for our BDS/BDHs, for your voting pleasure:

Celebrities

Most desirable woman in the world
Hottest celebrity (female)
Hottest TV Actress
Hottest Brunette Celebrity
Best Celebrity Legs (Female)
Best Innocent to Sexy Transition
Coolest Celebrity Name

TV

Favorite Frontier Show

So, might go back, re-cast your vote, according to the new candidates, even add some candidates of your own, first.

Hey FlatTop, how bout using this stat-less week to figure out the relative number of votes over the full 73-day period compared to the same number for Xena, like Ray wanted, and the total number of days above 1500 ever?

I don't have historical data going back far enough to figure either of those out for myself...

Now, FlatTop, can you please tell us, in each of the 73 day periods during which both Xena and Firefly kept daily votes above 1,000, what were the point totals?

Well now. This is a might interesting.
During the most recent (I can say that now 'cause we've exceeded it *insert happy dance here*) 73 consecutive days above 1,000 votes:
Firefly: 93,693
Xena: 93, 543
Difference: 150!
So... Yay us! We beat 'em. But at the same time 150 vote difference?! That's it? That's all the difference we could manage between us & the Xenites in the course of our (arguably) best 73 days?

Wait a tick... what is the difference between us & them for our best, dunno, pick a number, 50 days?
Firefly: 74,159
Xena: 70,391
Difference: 3,768
OK, I feel better now.

Another question that was asked:
Total days 1,500+
Firefly: 17
Xena: 9
Difference: 8

Total Votes while @ 1,500+
Firefly: 28,426
Xena: 15,743
Difference: 12,683

Average votes while at 1,500+
Xena: 1,749
Firefly: 1,672
Difference: 77
So let's all be glad Xena doesn't spend much time playing at 1,500+.

I'm sure that that one day at 2800 more than accounts for the difference in the average votes at 1500+ though.

You asked for it (well, I wanted to tell ya 'bout it), you got it, ANOTHER voting site, Voote.com:

http://www.booshay.com/account/jsp/WAppServerPage.jsp

Once you register, there is a handy SEARCH feature, which shows you any poll with a specific reference, i.e., Firefly, Serenity, Christina Hendricks, whatever. Individual poll choices also have sublinks to other polls with the same choice in them.

Polls appear to be of limited duration, and, as we have discovered with Rankopedia, appear to be one per customer per poll:

"Voote.com monitors for multiple votes from time to time. Users aren't allowed to vote over and over. Those who manage to get multiple votes in are still limited to a small number. If we find such cases, we usually remove the fraudulent votes before the poll closes."

You can also Digg each poll, so, if you're of a mind to, you can get out your trusty Shovvel, and, get these polls out in front of the world, too. If you want to stir up both Browncoat voters and some competition.

Go to town, Browncoats, and, let's clean up!

Nope, wasn't us.

Lexx has had a long-standing (well, I dunno how long, exactly, but, it was news to me a month after I'd been voting) vote-trade deal with several shows, among them Firefly. Okay, if you go for that sorta thing.

Rich Labonte of TV Vote became aware of a Lexx fan board thread which, well... kinda bragged about an automated vote-bot they developed, back in March. It would vote every hour, around the clock, without human intervention. It came in two flavors: Lexx, and, Lexx plus everyone else in their voting block, including Firefly.

http://www.lexxfans.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1994

Problem was, nobody but a few Lexxians even knew about it. However, Rich determined that it had apparently never been successfully used to generate invalid votes for any show. He did find another kind of cheat while investigating Lexx, so, he's adjusting the scores, setting up a safeguard, presumably, against the new cheat, and, we'll all be up and running this weekend.

d8e802

Read both threads before you panic; we ARE gonna rise again.

So, lock and load, and, be ready to jump outta the trenches atta full charge when Rich says it's time to vote, again!

We have a 1k+ votes/day record to build upon, and, we don't want this little lull in the action to cut it short.

Keep her flyin'!

More Rankopedia Polls (courtesy of MySerenity and yours, truly):

Best Canadian Actress (Jewel Staite - 8)
Coolest Man Alive (Nathan Fillion - 12)
Most Desirable Man Alive (Nathan Fillion - 9)
Best 'Firefly' Episode Ever
Best Scifi Channel Show (Firefly - 2)
Best TV Show Producer (Joss Whedon - 1)
Best soundtrack ever (Serenity - 8)
Best Movie based on a TV Show (Serenity - 5)

Here are yet more Polls to vote:

Other A&E

Most Heroic Character Ever.

Celebrities

Most desirable woman in the world
Hottest celebrity (female)
Hottest TV Actress
Hottest Brunette Celebrity
Best Celebrity Legs (Female)
Best Innocent to Sexy Transition
Coolest Celebrity Name

I have seen confirmation that Rankopedia changed their rules, probably at the same time as they required registration to vote, so that you can only vote once on a poll, though you can change your vote with another vote. Gorram lot of grandfathered X-Files votes that got to stay.

So, let's support our 'Verse! If you find a Poll to which it would be appropriate to add candidates from our BDS, BDM, or, BDHs (including supporting cast like Adelai Niska (Michael Fairman), Saffron (Christina Hendricks), or Badger (Mark Sheppard), for example), add 'em and list the Poll here, please, including in what category it can be found. Of course, you can also use the "Search" window at the top of the page to find a poll, too.
