VOMP (Red Dwarf)

Ray - He's gonna do what he wants, but nonetheless, he does not sound like he's made up his mind now, any more than when he posted something like that previously.

I think he would like to get some feedback that this means something to us is all.

Glad the rest of the Browncoats aren't so willing to quit at the drop of a hat, as you and FT seem to, or you'd have never gotten Serenity made and therefore never founded this alliance (Sorry, I hate that word too) with the Nimsters.

We, at Surface, don't quit easily, and we have been at this for only a couple of months.

Furthermore, there is nothing that I know of that will replace this. An hourly poll, which is (for the most part at least) honestly conducted and focuses your fanbase, our fanbase, and God knows how many other shows, as well.

The only problem I have with it, is that it isn't automatically fed into the office computers of every network programming dept.

Perhaps Rich is tired of it, but then maybe someone could take over for him. (You Ray???)

I believe this poll is far to important to just drop, even with warning (which was a kindness though)

I have no intention of letting all this become Reaverchow.

I already signed up at that group and will be sharing my feelings there, but I want an email adderess so all the Nimsters can give him the feedback he requests.

Jst sayin'...






"In the beginning Man created God; and in the image of Man created he him....But as all these things did come to pass, the Spirit that did cause man to create his God lived on with all men: even within Aqualung. And man saw it not. But for Christ's sake he'd better start looking." - Jethro Tull

vumpsurfnom. Jstn - It IS Rich's site and he can do with it what he wants - I thank him for the opportunity we've had to come here (once I found out about it!) and do an hourly 'cheer' for our favorite shows. Not everybody who is a browncoat votes - many say it's a waste of time and that polls don't count. I vote because it makes me feel like I'm doing SOMETHING to show my love and support of a great, great show. It's not that anyone is 'giving up' we just now have a deadline in view and that means we've gotta step up as much as we can before Rich bows out. You weren't here yet when we had a HUGE blow-out with fans of another show and Rich shut the site down while he ferreted out all the illegal votes cast. I think that was when he started to contemplate the end. Look at this like a marathon - we now know where the finish line is. We're not 'giving up' - just buckling down to do our best. If your pleas change his mind; that's fine, too - but please don't think that longtime 'voters' and 'vumpers' like Ray and FlatTop are giving up, okay? Thanks.

I have a lotta gorram hats, Jstn, and I drop 'em whenever it pleases me to do so. I'll take it as a kindness if you will refrain from passing judgment on what I, or any of us vumpers, as free Browncoats, choose to do or not to do. You callin' out folks, by name, when they don't jump up and declare that they're noming Surface, was already beginning to frost my Cheerios; but I'll be strung up by the wedding tackle before I'll let you insinuate that any of us is not a loyal Browncoat, simply because we might be able to accept that more of the same is, ultimately, more of the same.

As for the "alliance" you mention, I have always preferred to think of it as a friendship. I have, and will continue to extend my help to Surface, out of friendship to the Surface voters. But you need to understand that, from the beginning, it was folks here who were already noming the shows that they liked, who were helping each other out, and simply added Surface to the mix, out of friendship.

Well, it's beginning to feel a mite less friendly, and the fun that I have always had with this Poll is abraded whenever you turn on the prickly.

Folks have always been voting for your "competition," so long as any of them are ahead of you. If someone happens to like a show which is still in that narrow margin of the Top 16 or so noms, then let 'em vote for their gorram show! Anything they happen to spare for Surface, such as the Surfnoms I have cast, is taken away from their shows.

So, just accept that folks are helping Surface; it's pretty clear that some are, but, not all might care to. As for the Poll, you have the same access to Rich as the rest of us; I suggest you take your concerns to him.

One, last point: At current rates of voting, it will take Surface 312.76 days just to pass Hercules, at 67,688 votes, which got 46 votes, yesterday. It will take considerably longer than the balance of that year to pass Cleopatra 2525, at 81,448, which will be the next show bumped into the Top 40, never mind Queer as Folk, at 89,698, which would also have fallen into the Noms, by then.

Does that mean you shouldn't try? Hell, no! Just be sure of what you're asking for, when you petition Rich for more time. 'Cause, if another whole year passes and no new shows get into the Top 40, that means that the upper Poll will complete the process of stagnation, with everybody more or less settling into where they're gonna be.

Which would be boring. VOMP!

Vomp!

I think Ray is mostly right. This is supposed to be fun, and voting becomes next to worthless when people insist on taking the fun out of it, and turning it into a competition. I think that is the reason why Rich is thinking of quiting- the fun's draining out.

Just my two bits....

Manual mornin' stats VOMP!

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

ALL three links work for voting, so if you have trouble, you can try an alternate address instead.

You can vote for more as many Top 40 shows as you like, once every hour. You can only nominate one show per hour, at:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/nominations.html

Download the FlyVote voting timer, a NEW version of the program. It'll remind you when it's time to vote, each hour: http://usbmicro.com/misc

Votes are counted per network IP, so, don't go to the library or your office and vote hourly on each computer on the subnet, or all votes will be thrown out; multiple votes on rotating IPs will likewise be rejected.

Top two shows as of this morning:

(Statistics in parentheses are previous day's stats, for comparison purposes)

Total votes Firefly: 650,796 (649,689)

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 1,107 (1,066) times, 41 more than the previous day. Excellent rally, Browncoats! We hold!

Total votes Xena: 511,899 (511,414)

Yesterday, Xenites voted 485 (488) times, 3 fewer than the previous day.

(Xenites voted 622 (578) times fewer than Browncoats, yesterday.)

Firefly is 138,897 (138,275) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #22 show Star Trek: Voyager 128,338. That puts us at 11,103 (11,725) votes away from a 150,000 vote lead, about 17.85 (20.29) days, based on current voting.

We got our next banner, for 650,000 votes, today! Shiny!

Our next, big goal, 675,000 votes, is 24,204 (25,311) votes, and, 21.86 (23.74) days away!

7,046,165 (7,033,323) Top 40 votes have been counted as of 05/15/08. Yesterday, 12,842 (12,334) votes were cast. Our share fell to 9.2361739% (9.2372984%) of all votes ever cast. Our share of the voting pie remains at 9%.

In other TV Vote news (shows whose voters also support Firefly and the Whedonverse, so, let's return the favor, shiny?):

#5 show Battlestar Galactica got 475 (504) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to overtake #4 show, Gunsmoke, which got 345 (305) votes, yesterday, in 176.45 (115.92) days.

#7 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 589 (576) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 348 (388) votes, yesterday, in 19.85 (26.73) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 13,096 (13,685) votes, and 22.23 (23.76) days, away, while Farscape is 23.88 (22.32) days from getting there.

Buffy has regained the lead in the Hall of Fame race! Let's up the vote and keep her ahead!

#11 show Angel got 549 (520) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat!, which received 420 (382) votes, in 25.17 (24.46) days.

#15 show Babylon 5 got 392 (381) votes, yesterday, and, is on track to pass #14 show Stargate SG-1, which got 299 (302) votes, in 31.06 (37.75) days.

#28 show Dark Shadows got 353 (346) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to to pass #27 show Stargate Atlantis, which got 301 (271) votes, in 25.96 (18.69) days.

#41 show (#1 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 483 (474) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #40 show Cleopatra 2525, which got 161 (164) votes, in 17.49 (19.2) days.

#44 show (#4 in the Nominations Poll) Moonlight got 447 (379) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #43 show The Professionals, which got 131 (120) votes, yesterday, in 36.27 (45.47) days.

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

AND...

Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye 15193
Surface 15013

Surface got 182 Nominations votes, yesterday passing the 15,000 votes mark, despite a drop in daily vote levels! That was better than 7 of the Top 40 shows got, beating 17.5% of the Top 40 Poll!

It's another 180 votes to pass Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye, which got 47 votes, which means Surface should pass that show in another two days!
