(Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope I'm doing this right)

Good morning Browncoats!

For those of you who haven't heard, there is a group of webpages devoted to voting for your favorite movie, tv show, actor, etc. We've been doing fairly well over there, but we're starting to slip in the rankings, so we need to rally the troops to get voting!

Firefly: http://www.teavee.com/firefly/ Currently in 5th place, but we've come up against Xena now, so the we're not gaining any ground.

Nathan Fillion: http://www.celeeb.com/nathan-fillion/ The Captain is our BDH for this month (we'll switch to another in July) and he is having trouble hanging on to the #7 spot. If you can spare just one vote, this would be the place to give it!

Serenity: http://www.muuvie.com/serenity/ We're ranked #1 out of all movies, with over 6,000 votes between us and the next movie, but they are slowly catching up on us.

Each site allows you to vote once every 5 minutes, so many of us have all three windows open, and ever five minutes we hit the "Positive Vote" button, and then go back to what we're doing. Any assistance you can give would help greatly! We want to finish out June strong.

Thanks!

In a poll you only vote once.

Even if the computer does reset...

Xena is currently #2 on the athlete site. Xena! That doesn't happen by every fan voting once and then going on their merry way.

This group of websites is specifically set up to allow you to vote every 5 minutes. There's not a single fandom out there who isn't voting as often as possible. Voting every 5 minutes, and have alliances with other fandoms (we have a strong and mutually beneficial alliance with INXS http://www.moosak.com/inxs and several of them have gone out and bought Firefly because of it) are the rules that everyone else is playing by. All these websites handle IP addresses really well, so I have no doubt that if the polls were designed for one vote per IP address, the sites would handle it as such.

Anyway... If you don't feel comfortable with it, that's fine. But we're having fun conversations over there, meeting new people, and showing other fandoms who we are. So anyone who is interested, come on by.

Read my tagline above! The only thing the meek are getting is the shaft.

If we want to promote Serenity & Firefly we have to take full advantage of the way the rules are set up. If that seems like cheating to you, then feel free to sit idly by and watch as "Xena: Warrior Princess" gets made as the next Universal movie instead of our BDH's making a BDM2.

Just my $0.02.

Just to make one thing clear.

The WHOLE PURPOSE of this poll is to vote as often as possible.

It's a sort of anti-poll, if a traditional poll is the sort where only cheats vote more than once. It's finding out who has the most rabod fans - i.e. who will actually bother to vote more than once. Lots more than once.

Does anyone care? I know not. But it's lots of fun. I'm finding it more fun than a game I was playing. And Browncoats are better than other fans, are they not? So - in a poll to measure rabidity, Browncoats should be the MOST rabid!

And the best way to vote as often as possible is to vote, disconnect your computer's online link, reconnect and vote again. I've voted 3-4 times per five minutes this way.

I figure if the object is to cheat, then cheat big.

Yep, I've been there since I first found out about it as well, back when Firefly was at 23 or so.

Everything resets July 1st, so if we get a strong start, we may be able to take a top spot. Also, I think Joss is the BDH for next month (one per month, so we don't split our votes), and with the Buffy and Angel fans' help, we should be able to get him into the #1 slot.

Technically, James Earl Jones is only a third of Vader.

David Prowse was in the suit, and Sebastian Shaw's face was edited out of RotJ and replaced with Hayden's.

Eh, it was a slow, painful slide down. The Hayden crowd (Hayden's Horney Harem, as they call themselves) simply had more people, and more alliances, voting for them. We had maybe four or five, I'd guess? For quite awhile I was voting Firefly, Nathan, INXS, The Breakfast Club (because they were returning quite a few votes, and Serenity is solidly in #1), Gavin Newsom, Jeff Gordon, and Rats, every five minutes, like clockwork. Pretty sure that's all the voting sites, lol. We actually managed to stem the tide for a little while, right at about 100 ahead, but they got more people in. Superior numbers and all. Then I went and got a bout of... ickiness (it's a chronic, undiagnosed disease, I dunno what to call it, lol) and passed out for a few hours. Come back and we were in #8, down by several hundred. Kinda took the wind out of my sails, though I've still been voting off and on.

Disappointing to see, I know.
