JSTN

Morning everyone VOMP (Surface)

I'll be making a "big announcement" later today, or first thing tomorrow (as soon as I can get it written up, as real life is interfering) regarding our alliance/friendship. Stay tuned...

In the meantime (what's so damn "mean" about it?) to keep my friend Trae content here is...

The Daily Surf Report

Yesterday we had a great day, with 200 Noms. Up 18 from the day before Our average is now 196.21

Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye got 52 Noms. Up 5. Their average is now 44.32

The Waltons got 23 Noms, Up 1. Their average is now 22.28

Great job yesterday, Nimsters. We are set up for a quick pass this morning (results tomorrow, of course), but vote heavy anyway to set up for a good run at the next show which will be here in less than a week if we can keep our numbers above average..

We are only 32 Noms away from the #16 spot on the Nom list. It will take us .16 days to pass at our current average rates

We are 1375 Noms away from the #15 spot on the Noms list. It will take us 7.79 days to pass at our current average rates.

Ray from FFF.net tells me that, yesterday we did better than 10 shows (25%) on the Top 40 list.

We only have 16 more shows to the top of the list. This will change by tomorrow.

To see the Top 20 Nominations Chart, click the "Click here for daily totals" link below the Top 40 box. Scroll to the bottom.

Let's get our numbers above the 250 Nom level or better. Ask your friends to help. Have them sign up at savesurface so they'll receive these reminders too.
--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
Targets

The number in parentheses, next to each show, is the previous day's nom total (if available)
Between each show, is the number of noms to the next show.

The L Word 17640 (10)

1052 (We are 2427 away)

The Waltons 16588 (23)

1343 (We are 1375 away, 177 less than yesterday

Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye 15245 (52)

32

Surface 15213 (200)

"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

HAVOCMAN

Is "Vumpity" a word? I'm rather new to this site. I have voted a few times. Each time I've checked, Firefly was #1 (as it should be). Is Firefly ever NOT in first place?

NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | TOP | HOME

Friday, May 16, 2008 7:22 AM

Welcome HavocMan! Always good to see a new face.

Any word that you incorporate 'vump', 'vomp', 'plump', et. al. into is close enough to an actual word to be permitted use here

Yes, sadly, there was a time when Firefly was not #1, both in the standings, and in the daily vote totals.

'Course no show has beaten us in the daily votes in more than a year, and we've been in 1st place (and pulling away ever after) for 41 weeks now (thus the XLI in the thread title).

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: 652,770 (651,858)

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 912 (1,062) times, 150 fewer than the previous day. Ouch!

Total votes Xena: 512,911 (512,421)

Yesterday, Xenites voted 490 (522) times, 32 fewer than the previous day.

(Xenites voted 422 (540) times fewer than Browncoats, yesterday.)

Firefly is 139,859 (139,437) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #22 show Star Trek: Voyager 128,748. That puts us at 10,141 (10,563) votes away from a 150,000 vote lead, about 24.03 (20.24) days, based on current voting.

We'll get our next banner, for 655,000 votes, in another 2,230 (3,142) votes, and 2.45 (2.96) days!

Our next, big goal, 675,000 votes, is 22,230 (23,142) votes, and, 24.38 (21.79) days away!

7,070,644 (7,058,692) Top 40 votes have been counted as of 05/17/08. Yesterday, 11,952 (12,527) votes were cast. Our share fell to 9.2321159% (9.2348271%) 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 517 (463) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to overtake #4 show, Gunsmoke, which got 330 (331) votes, yesterday, in 120.96 (172.77) days.

Their coats are a Brownish color:

Babylonians, Browncoats, and Colonials ALL know what it takes to Hold the Line!

(Image courtesy of Laika at Skiffy)

#7 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 511 (593) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 355 (353) votes, yesterday, in 28.13 (18.94) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 11,992 (12,503) votes, and 23.47 (21.08) days, away, while Farscape is 21.42 (22.54) days from getting there.

Buffy has fallen behind, again, in the Hall of Fame race! Let's up the vote and get her ahead!

#11 show Angel got 428 (501) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat!, which received 363 (376) votes, in 47.03 (24.98) days.

#15 show Babylon 5 got 330 (340) votes, yesterday, and, is on track to pass #14 show Stargate SG-1, which got 308 (310) votes, in 128.95 (95.3) days. The Babylonians are in sore need of Browncoat assistance!

#28 show Dark Shadows got 311 (354) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to to pass #27 show Stargate Atlantis, which got 276 (287) votes, in 35.66 (19.15) days.

#41 show (#1 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 450 (471) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #40 show Cleopatra 2525, which got 170 (152) votes, in 17.98 (16.66) days.

#44 show (#4 in the Nominations Poll) Moonlight got 440 (476) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #43 show The Professionals, which got 102 (124) votes, yesterday, in 31.86 (31.56) days.

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

AND...

The Waltons 16605
Surface 15376
Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye 15280

Surface got only 163 Nominations votes, yesterday, though the drop was not entirely unexpected, for a Friday. That was still better than 4 of the Top 40 shows got, beating 10% of the Top 40 Poll. Surface also passed Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye, to become the new #16 Nominee show!

It's another 1,229 votes to pass The Waltons, which got 17 votes, which means, based solely on yesterday's totals, Surface should pass that show within 9 days. We all know we can do it faster than that!

JSTN

"Yesterday, Browncoats voted 912 (1,062) times, 150 fewer than the previous day. Ouch!"

That would be in large part us, Ray.

As a result of Rich's decision to end the Poll at 10 million votes, we Nimsters have been forced to make a strategic change.

We need as much time as possible to make our climb, and voting for shows in the Top 40 (often as many as 5 or 6 with each vote) would result in hundreds of thousands of votes over the coming months. That would result in getting to that 10 million, quicker than we would need to, so we have decided to simply nominate Surface each time, and leave out any "extra" voting. In other words, we, regretably, must withdraw our support for Firefly in this poll.

Nonethelss, we are in pursuit of other possible polls, and if there is any way we can assist the Browncoats on those polls, you may rest assured that you can count on us to do so.

Meanwhile, as the word gets out over the next few days, you should expect to see a couple of hundred less votes each day more than your current average. (We had a weak 163 Noms yesterday)

We apologize for that, and wish this hadn't been forced upon us by the closing of the poll in this manner.

We are also extremely grateful for all the support you guys have been giving to us as well.

Sis, in particular, who couldn't have been a better friend with her constant Noms, if she'd come from savesurface, in the first place.

Personally, I am also very grateful for the friends I've made here. I really regret the misunderstanding of a few days back, and want to leave here, being very clear, that I never doubted any of your loyalty to your show, esp. FT's and Ray's. A show couldn't have better fans than you guys. My issue was only with your casual acceptance of the polls closing, and I wish to apologize to anyone who was offended by my poor choice of wording on that.

Rest assured that that incident has nothing to do with this change in support. It is simply strategic, and not something we even desire.

All of you will always be welcome at our site, and if you are signed up you will still receive the Surf Reports, so you can see how we are doing in our (now desperate) climb for the Top 40. If you aren't signed up, feel free to. The Surface/Firefly Lounge was open before this poll and will be afterwards. I am after all a Browncoat as well.

I will be looking in here to see how you guys are doing as well. With all the new faces poping up here, I would expect you guys to make up the difference before long anyways.

Thanks again for all your help. We wish you the best of luck, but have little doubt that you guys will remain #1, as you deserve to be. - Jstn
