How bout this comment I found there:
"VOTE!!!(damn, if I was at work I could do 5 per hour...)"

Maybe that's how they got to first place to begin with.

If you want to help them out, you can explain that if they vote from work 5 times from 5 different IP's on the same subnet, Rich will throw out -all- 5 votes. Details. I'd have to say it's not a good plan.

The real question is, do they have enough folks who want first place back bad enough.

In psychology, there is a mechanism called extinction.

Without a positive stimulus, the behavior becomes extinct.

Then, the only folks you'll see voting Xena are those who vote casually, without concern for the top slot, who just vote because they like that show... And, the wild-eyed die-hards, who will vote until they drop, hoping for us to slip up.

Psycho-VUMP!

Vump from a Xenite....

There has been a push for votes recently, but not from the former organizers of Xena voters. When posted on the normal email lists we used, there were a lot of complaints about asking for votes again. Most of the community are very tired of the tv vote stuff. I imagine this small push will last a few weeks tops, then we'll settle down in to our normal no one cares pace of 5-600 votes a day.

The only reason our votes grew in size earlier this year was for two reasons. Push to 300k and then a try for 3k votes in one day for the birthday of Lucy Lawless. I doubt the community will ever respond seriously to any tv-vote call for votes again.

I agree. Until I can see on the charts that the Xenites have calmed down again for a couple of weeks, I'm going to be watching them closely.

How long until Jericho hits the Top40?
Rumor is that that'll be a line to watch as well.

Totally agree Flat, we can't let our guard down.

I remember back in January we were like 60k+ behind Xena and now we're number 1 and at the moment we don't even have a 5k lead.

Even though Jericho fans are far behind at the moment, if we calm down, we could soon see our lead cut drastically. Keep voting Browncoats, we need to take his all the way until the voting ends.

Our weekly average is down a touch (1585 from 1594), Xena's is still going up (952 from 942). But that's still not too bad - yesterday, ours was only up 9 and theirs was up 42. So they're leveling off, and we're still not far from level our own selves.

Can't wait for Monday's graphs.

Oh, and FlatTop, you mentioned Jericho? They're eating through the countdown like reavers in Times Square on New Year. They'll be in the top 30 inside a month and the top 20 in another month even if they only hold their current voting levels...

1st daily vote... Good morning, all!

Top two scores as of this morning:

Total votes Firefly: 372789

Total votes Xena: 369832

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 1571 times.

Yesterday, Xenites voted 856 times.

(Xenites voted 715 times less, yesterday).

Firefly is 2957 votes ahead of Xena!

Browncoat votes picked up, again, yesterday, +3.5% ; Xenite votes dropped -10%. Our lead grows, let's keep it up!

The next goal is 375,000 votes, which will take another 2211 votes, about 1.4 days, at current rate of voting. Not far off from that, is 400,000, or, another 27,211 votes, about 17 days at current voting levels. Then, we shoot for half a million, about 81 days out as we are currently voting.

Every single vote cast is important, Browncoats; if you miss a chance to vote, we will never get that lost vote back.

I think we're startin' to see some fatigue in the Xenite ranks.

Yup, it's those Jericho Rangers I am concerned about. Anybody have any ides about how to convert 'em all into Browncoats? As it is, they have a (non-specified) voting bloc with a couple other fan groups, gased on Google's TV Vote Group

http://groups.google.com/group/tv_vote?lnk=srg

Makes you wonder,

A. Who their partners are, and,

B. Is there really that much cross-pollination?

Might do for us to think about such matters, ourselves.
