Can you point to the post where Rich said that? I didn't see it on a cursory scan over the google group...

It's at the top of the post that has 2-3 pages of IP data in it. Don't have the link, but I'm pretty sure it's there.
Rich didn't say anything about coming back up early that I saw, so perhaps that part is just wishful thinking?

Gorramit! I go away for a little while to visit relatives on Miranda and look what happens! What am I gonna do at work now? Not like I'd want to actually do any work there.
TV_Vote is the only site I was voting on and now I'm lost with out my check marks.

Now there's a bit of guerrilla marketing...

Campaign for RTC, include screen caps from the (wrong) show, get a bunch of folk calling it by the wrong name, bugging the networks to carry it.

Suits all looking at each other "Who's River Tam? Why do people think we have it? Why don't we have it?"

Or is it just the psychosis?

Because really, what's the difference between River & a terminator?

Terminators aren't psychic.

I suppose a terminator is able to absorb more damage, but River's harder to hit so it sorta evens out.

Neither one's all there (River's got brainy bits missing, terminator's not a biological)

Wouldn't want either one wanting me dead.

I'm thinking we could pull off the name change

Well, that was only for about two and a half days... Actually, I dun know exactly how long I could sustain that pace... 30 days... Oog =@[.]@=.

Other problem is, I happen to have a very flexible schedule (i.e., I make my own hours); "mad nappin'" might be difficult with a real schedule.

And, Rich might just let TV Vote go on until December 31, or, the like, which will greatly enhance the likelihood that a number of things we'd all like to see bein' accomplished. If he shuts down at 5M, well, that's the only goal that gets reached, which is kinda anti-climactic.

I figger Rich'll clue us all in next day or two.

Just be prepared to leave your computer on, with a dedicated TV Vote window up. Have it prepped for your vote. Then, when you would normally go to bed, set your alarm (I use a Timex travel alarm clock, about $4US at WalMart, which I keep in my pocket when up and about) for about a minute shy of the next time you vote. That way you can get up, stumble outta bed, make your vote, re-set your page, and, go back to bed.

...For another hour. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The interrupted sleep isn't really that bad; you will go back to sleep each time, and, spend longer in bed, making up for lost zzz's, but, you should still be able to be up most of the day.

Mind you, I'm the weird sort who can lay down, close my eyes, and, be dozing into a dream state almost immediately, so, your tolerance for this might be different. But, you can sure give it a try!

After that little stunt, I discovered that I could get up about three hours early, each morning, at about 6:15am, crank up my computer, vote, go back to bed, repeating until after 9am, at which point I'd stay up, calculate and post the stats, and stay awake and vote hourly until after midnght. That way, I can pull in 19-20 votes easy, without having to go 'round-the-clock.

That pattern I can sustain indefinitely.

Good luck to anyone who wants to give it a try!
