Other folks help out as they may... I'll put it in my signature, for instance. Someone should run around and hit the various FF forums, like serenity.movie.

I was under the impression that we previously agreed on February 27 as a voting day. Adam's birthday. Do I have the date right?

I think all Sci Fi fans should stick together, but like I said after 250,000 you can all go for the first to get at 500,000. I might come unless a Xenties help isn't wanted.

What do you think?

You do know you can vote for more than one show at a time don't you? Vote for em all if you like. Otherwise nobody would be talking about alliances and such we'd all just be voting for our own thing.

The object of the exercise as far as I'm concerned is getting Firefly on top I can't do that if I'm voting for the two shows above on the list. So when I say I wont ally with Xena or Bonanza it's not a question of disliking either show or their fans it's just a question of liking the shows less than Firefly.

So you've decided to stop voting for Firefly because you no longer like Firefly? You said you loved Firefly. Is that no longer the case?

I bashed a different shows fan only once because what she said was an ignorant, baseless insult. I don't necessarily like show X, or Y, but I won't insult the fans of the show. On this board I have never heard anyone bash a show that we've already passed, unlike some other boards.

We want to be #1 on that list. Shouldn't passing the two shows above us be the way to do that? Or should our goal be to have exactly the same number of points so that nobody's feelings get hurt?

We want to be ahead of Xena and Bonanza. If we solicit the help of a Xena fan that casts an equal number of votes for Xena as Firefly, then the relative positions will not change. That's why the reference to Xenites and Bonanza fans stated previously. Nothing meant as anything negative. Does that make sense to you now?

I assume most fans vote on that poll for the pride they have in the show(s) they love. Nothin' wrong with that, but Firefly fans are browncoats for a reason... we were on the losing side. I have plenty of respect for Xena, but it had 6 seasons to tell its story. Though I'm not one for bashing others, I'm sure there will be comments elsewhere that sound angry and spiteful. You will for one simple reason... those who still hold out for Firefly's continuance know that they desperately need to make a statement that people will make people take notice. There's nothing wrong with fighting for prestige, but we fight existance.... and ours tends to be the bloodier battle.

Xena will make 250,000 first... that's inevitable. That's great news for a show that shattered expectations in a new and very risky way.

But what if Firefly was going to instead? As a fan base we've tried over and over again to prove that it is a marketable franchise, so wouldn't hitting a quarter million votes first amongst all the other voting make an impact? Numbers seem to be the only thing execs will base a decision on, and here they are.

That won't happen for this benchmark, for better or worse. I hope that the significant showing that we have put together will not be diminished by our coming in a still respectable third.
