CANTER

Sorry, this is gonna be a long one...

I believe we'll hit 3rd in a day (or two at most). But I'm suspecting that we're then gonna hit a snag.

We overtook the previous 3 competitors rather quickly, because the difference between our daily vote and their daily vote was always rather big. So excitement almost every week!

But tackling Bonanza and Xena is going to be a horse of a different colour.

I did a quick, rough and ready forecast, based on past performance, with an average of 800 votes a day, and at that speed, we're only likely to reach the 1st spot in September 2007. Just in time for Dragon con.(Second spot in approximately May)

I don't know how likely it is that we'll keep the attention of the average Browncoat for the next 9-10 months, with almost no excitement in between.

We need a new strategy. I think we really have to get organised. Nathan has 6000 "friends" Why can't we rope them in to each vote a few times? How do we reach them? I've mailed Nathan, asked him to blog, no avail. I'm sure he gets a lot of silly requests and can't answer them all. I've even commented on his myspace, for others to read. We need to get the other boards more actively involved.

Can we not contact some of the other BDH's to spread the word? How accesible ae they? Can we not ask Adam and Alan or Jewell to just mention the voting campaign once? There is a lot of action going on at whedonesque now witht the comedy of errors that was Flan. Any ideas on how to use that?

Ok, I'm out of breath now.

Consider this a bump.

If it were easy Canter, we'd still have a show...
We have the shiniest fans in the 'verse! Who else could have a 'Non-Event' (aka: BE screwed, NotFLAN2, FLAN B, etc.) that had a larger turn out by the cast of the show than the original 'official' event was scheduled to?
We will hold.
Bonanza and Xena have to maintain their votes as well, or we will overtake them that much faster. This will be a war of attrition and endurance.
How crappy a planet would we be living on if Xena's fans would be more faithful than Firefly's?
We're too pretty to die!

if the sites there we will vote!

I think this is the point, even come next september when we are above Xena we can not slow off the pace, I was asked yesterday when we would be so far ahead we could stop voting, the answer is "never" this is a labour of love and we vote each day to prove we are still here, there is no easy answer it all boils down to who has the most fan(atic)s, do you think Xena can mobilize a larger "everyday" vote than we can??

No, Neither do I, we will triumph!

Wow, I just wanted to make sure these numbers didn't go by with notice. I can't believe about 10 months ago Bonanza was in fifthteenth. If they can go from that far behind to 2nd in less than year so can we, I'm not worried about the average browncoat loosing interest. Those who fall out will be replaced by new 'coats. The rest of us just gotta keep bumpin' and votin'.

Yes,we dropped a lot after we passed The X-files and there was no another spot close enough. But even if you drop from 1000 to 900-800 it won't be a big loss, since Bonanza's record is about 600-700 (right?) Xenits are capable of making a 1000+ day, but they are not likely to do it now.
Mailing the actors is a good idea, we got our main cast voting and right now most lexxians are voting only to make him happy. He's also voting when he has time to go online. Another thing that might help you get more votes is advertising/spamming everywhere, where there might be browncoats - a chat room, a forum, anything. You can advertise Lexx too :) We're buddies now ;)
Looks like you lacked very little to make over 1000 today :( I wonder where did those voters go! By the way in the past, when we still had chance of defeating you, you had one or two days with 400-500 votes per day, before you returned to your normal then 110. Perhaps that was the same group, which appears from time to time to add a couple of hundreds more?

Ponderosa is getting about 300 votes a day... is there any such show? Ponderosa is the ranch of the Cartwrights where the show Bonanza is set... but was there ever a show called Ponderosa?

Looking forward to tomorrow's number.

BTW, is there any way to capture that little movie thing showing firefly at 90,000 votes?

Yes, there is! If you're using Internet Explorer, go to the main command line, select Tools -> Internet Options -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings -> View Files. View them in details mode and sort them by type. The thing you're looking for is a shockwave type and is probably named tvvote.swf or sth like that. There also should be one named tvvote_firefly85 - your previous banner. Copy and paste them somewhere else, before they get deleted.
If you can't find them, write me an e-mail and I'll send them to you :)

I hope I was of assistance!
Vote for Lexx and Firefly!

CANTER

I didn’t mean to imply that Browncoats would lose faith, or that I have for that matter. I love everything about the show and its fans.

Some explanation as to my motives. Sorry, it’s gonna be long again…

I believe we can do anything. I truly believe we are the shiniest, most special, mightiest fanbase in all the world. (FlanII for example!!)

I believe this so much that I want to scream it to the heavens.

I want to prove to everyone out there, that we as fans are so far beyond anything they’ve ever known that they have to sit up and take notice.

These guys have to go: “Wow, those flans are still out there, still going strong! Permaybehaps we should give this another go….”

I still believe we can get a new series. Or a sequel. Or both. I don’t want to be placated with a computer game!

And because I want all that, I don’t want to just calmly stroll on through the next 9 months gaining 300 votes a day on shows like Bonanza and Xena. (BONANZA AND XENA for crying out loud!!!! It goes against everything sensible and sane. Each time I see those stats I wanna scratch my eyes out and run screaming down the streets. Naked, if need be…)

I want Browncoats to rise up and wipe the opposition out in 2 weeks. Hell. In two days! That’s what I want. Don’t ya think it would be something to take notice off when we do that? If 20 000 fans get organised enough through the boards to do something like this, don’t you think someone would notice? And with someone, I mean someone in charge of scheduling new, interesting shows?

I know I’m asking a bit much. I know when I get started on firefly my friends start backing away slowly, fixed grins in place. I know I should probably lie down for a little bit until the pills start working. I also know I shouldn’t be spending so much time on fireflyfans.net instead of working. But that’s the thing about obsession. It’s not quite rational and so I’m not listening to reason.

I want Firefly, and I know you do too.

Well if we keep outvoting the other fandoms eventually our show will be number 1 in the poll. Which answers both parts of your question I think. Really it's just something to do to remind the universe that we are still here and still dedicated to our BDHs.

Hi! Welcome!! Thanks for voting!!! Keep on voting!!!! *with fixed grin and mad glint in eyes*

The main purpose is to be number one. Why do we want to be number one? Because it shows to the world out there that we are a very active and commited fanbase, with dedicated fans who love their show. This way they cannot forget we exist. If we keep on reminding them we may have some control over a new series. And it draws attention to Firefly, which brings new viewers.

And because we don't want to be beaten by the Xena and Bonanza fans, who are also very active and committed. Not as committed as us, but still.
They, of course, had a bit of a headstart (The Xenites started voting about a year ago)

Thanks Canter & Daveshayne for responding. I'm new to this "fan" thing, although I've been addicted to Firefly since the DVD set came out.

When I watched " Done The Impossible " I first realized what the world of Firefly really was.....those Browncoats & Fillionairres in the documentary were amazing....everything they did to assist Joss along the way to getting a movie...just outstanding!...I almost cry watching it, it's so good!

I will keep voting every hour ( at work ) for our BDH's, although I think Zena is gonna be hard to beat....that show has a "special" advantage if ya know what I mean....not that there's anything WRONG with that!....but Zena...gimme a break...it was pretty lame and retarded even compared to Hercules whicj I liked. or Cleopatra 2525 which I loved....Also gre up in the 60's so Bonanza was a big part of my youth...a great show....great morality lessons...but hardly the absolute gem that Firefly is..I mean was...I mean...whatever...Thanks!
