VOMP (Surface) x 2

Hey, I got up late, although I still may be asleep, since I thought I saw an honest woman. I must be dreaming. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

(Jst teasing ladies, don't kill me)

Thanks for all the help yesterday. Surface got 133 nominations. Not a record, but not bad at all.

Ray - I read your post about "vote trades" and all that. I agree with your analysis (particularly the awareness aspect, considering not everyone voting reads these threads), but I want to reassure you that I have "set things up" so that our fans are very aware they are supposed to be supporting Firefly as well. One guy posted today on our "head count" thread that he votes for FF "sometimes" I jumped all over him (politely).

I am certain that everytime you see a Surface total, that number is very close to the number of FF votes for that day.

What do you mean you haven't seen all of Surface yet??? LOLOLOL Maybe while you are on vacation, you can "correct" that. I've watched all of FF 3 times.

Btw, we have a sister site in Germany, that has started to contribute as well. It was a message from the owner of that site, regarding how much support we get here, that prompted my question.

I hope no one felt I was being disrespectful. I really very much appreciate any and all help we get from Firefly fans.

Up from an intermittent (between hourly votes) nap VOMP!

Jstn, I, for one, am always grateful for whatever help any of our friends provide. I just don't want anyone on either team to feel obligated to do anything. That's when resentments and questions of "tit for tat" begin to creep in, and, that's just no good for anyone.

Aside from your surprise appearance on this thread, with your very generous offer of help for Firefly, I have had to carefully foster the friendships of other voting groups, starting with Dark Shadows. It didn't start out with the intent of asking their help; I just saw a group working hard to get a show (which I remembered enjoying in my childhood) into the Top 40, and, I decided to offer them the same advice and encouragement I had Firefly voters.

Then, some DS fans began to mention that they were Browncoats, too ("Vampire Flans," or, "Barnabas Browncoats"), so, naturally, I directed them to voting for Firefly in the Top 40. Then, I mentioned to the Firefly voters that we had this new source of strength, and, asked if we might be able to spare any unused Nominations votes for their cause, and, before we knew it, that's how we became associated with DS as reciprocal voting partners.

The Battlestar Galactica folks actually approached me for a "vote trade," while they were fighting for the #5 spot. Aside from the fact that we had had a failed (lapsed, with some recriminations) pact of that sort, before, and, because the numbers for a straight-up trade wouldn't have favored Firefly, in the long term, I also simply couldn't act as the channel for an arrangement like that, both because I'm not everybody's Captain, and, because I dun like trades.

However, many BSG voters happen to be friends of mine, so, in lieu of that, I offered them my services as Tallymister (a title I don't claim, here, as, we have more'n one statistician, for which I am deeply grateful!), since theirs had quit some months back to raise the baby his wife had just given him. I also gave them my votes, personally, as, they were mine to offer, and, didn't jeopardize Firefly's position in the face of that formidable fandom.

I did ask that, if BSGers weren't nominating anything, for them to help out Dark Shadows, and, they did, helping DS make it into the Top 40, creating another link in the bond between our groups.

Later, after having time to handle the numbers, a while, I could tell that BSG was unlikely ever to be a threat to Firefly, and, I opened up the same, informal connection between Firefly and BSG that I had between Firefly and DS, not a mandated trade, but, a friendly, mutual support, which has endured and enabled all of those involved to thrive, as well as expanding the fandoms of the respective shows.

Buffy and Angel are also involved, as Joss Whedon (and, vampire) shows, and, as may be apparent, have also benefited from their participation. Many voters for these shows already voted for the others; likewise, not all of them are participating, for whi
