Mornin' stats BOMP!

(By the way, we had a vote differential of 1,159 over Xena, yesterday. Correct me if I'm wrong, FT, but wasn't our previous best daily lead 999 votes?)

Alright! We have one, last shot at the record which has eluded us: Most votes cast in a 24 hour voting period (from approximately 0600 EST (1000 GMT) until approximately 0700 EST (1100 GMT) the following day). Firefly topped out on March 7, 2007: 2,359; Xena broke that record, on March 30, 2007: 2,803. Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 6, we're gonna do the impossible, again, and take back the record, once and for all! I know from the numbers that many of you are already going for a hard burn. Still, if there is any way to squeeze in even 1 or 2 more votes during the Wednesday-Thursday voting period, it'll make a difference. Be a good day for an all nighter!

In preparation, the missus and I put in a maximum 24 total votes on our IP, yesterday (as well as the 11 votes she put in from work), including Bonanza, BSG, Buffy, Jericho, Angel, Babylon 5, Ponderosa, Dark Shadows, Blood Ties, all our friends with whom we share our success. We're on a sprint for the finish, Browncoats! Let's make sure the whole team gets across the finish line!

Angel is now safe from a pass by #10 show Combat! Great work!

Dark Shadows is fighting hard to reach 150k, at 7.5 (9.57) days out, EXACTLY on schedule, with no wiggle room. However, with sustained intensified weekday voting, they could still find themselves behind, again! The Barnabas Browncoats were instrumental in helping achieve our unbroken record of 75 consecutive days at 1,000+ daily votes; many thanks to those who are boosting our friends towards their goal!

Babylon 5 is also 6.51 (9.05) days from reaching 200k, just ONE DAY ahead of the projected end of the Poll! They may be quiet, but the Babylonians have been good friends to us. Let's help get 'em over the finish line!

Also many thanks to those Big Damn Heroes who are adding votes for Ponderosa and Bonanza! Bonanza now stands to make their goal of 500k in just a couple more days, with our help (which our new westerns friends are graciously returning). Xie-xie!

(Statistics in parentheses are previous day's stats, for comparison purposes)

An estimated 7.86 (10.81) days remain to vote, based on current rates of voting, and Firefly is now TWO days AHEAD of schedule!

Our ultimate goal, 750,000, is 9,025 (10,785) votes, and 5.13 (7.81) days away! We need to maintain a minimum daily average of 1,129 (1,079) votes for the balance of the Poll to stay on track.

Total votes Firefly: 740,975 (739,215)

Yesterday, Firefly received 1,760 (1,381) votes, 379 more than the previous day. Uber shiny, Browncoats! We're closing in on the end of the Poll, and with the help of all our friends (now including the Bonanzais and Jericho Rangers), we need to keep the daily votes up!

We got our next banner, for 740,000 votes, today! Shiny as plastic dinosaurs on your control console!

Especially now, every vote we fail to cast is lost forever; we won't always have "tomorrow" to make it up! Let's keep up the hard burn, show everyone our Browncoat Fan Power, and clinch our final milestones!

Today's update on TV Vote-

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.

8,197,144 (8,175,488) Top 40 votes have been counted as of 08/05/08. Yesterday, 21,656 (17,516) votes were cast.

In other TV Vote news (shows whose voters also support Firefly and the Whedonverse, so, let's return the favor, shiny? We accomplish more together than we would separately!)...

#5 show Battlestar Galactica got 669 (525) votes, not receiving enough votes to pass #4 show Gunsmoke by the end of the Poll.

The Colonials need urgent help! Please lend 'em a hand!

#6 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 843 (678) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass #5 show BSG by the end of the Poll. Buffy's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #7 show Farscape.

#9 show Angel got 836 (659) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass #8 show Jericho by the end of the Poll.

At current rates of voting, Angel can no longer be overtaken by #10 show Combat! within the time remaining. Great job, Browncoats!

#13 show Babylon 5 got 505 (419) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass #12 show Little House on the Prairie by the end of the Poll. B5's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #14 show Stargate SG-1. B5 is also 3,289 (3,794) votes, and 6.51 (9.05) days from reaching 200,000 votes!

Lets help the Babylonians reach their final goal!

#24 show Dark Shadows got 527 (468) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #23 show Star Trek: The Original Series, which got 389 (303) votes, in 1.2 (1.84) days! Dark Shadows will reach 150,000 votes in another 3,951 (4,478) votes, and 7.5 (9.57) days. At current rates of voting they are just EXACTLY on schedule to reach that final goal before the end of the Poll!

C'mon, Browncoats! Let's help our friends the Vampire Flans achieve their final goal!

#34 show Blood Ties got 754 (591) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #33 show The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which got 294 (265) votes, yesterday, in 4.21 (7.36) days.

Let's help the Fitzroyals advance, and mebbe stay ahead of Moonlight!

And, still dogging our daily vote totals, is:

Moonlight got 1,933 (1,615) votes, yesterday, passing JAG, which got 359 (295) votes. Moonlight is the new #35 show, today! Moonlight is on track to pass Blood Ties, which got 754 (591) votes, in 4.25 (6.05) days, as well as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which it will pass at about the same time, in 4.24 (6.36) days.

Yours in the cause,

-Raycheetah =^[.]^=

P.S.: I snerched this quote about us, 'cause I am never disappointed in my shiny Browncoat brothers and sisters when opportunity arises to prove it:

"Once again, the Browncoats have proven to be both an intelligent and generous group of people in a world where each quality sometimes seems to be in very short supply." - Chris Buchanan

Right you are Ray, but that our 999 was over the Xenites was just a coincidence. The important part was that it was 999 over the next highest scoring show.
Since we're kinda getting vumped at the moment, we're ineligible to set a new record.

Truck is done, Mini is in the shop, and my bike (daily commuter vehicle (45 mpg)) needs new brake pads & rotors.
The bike I can do myself, but gorram, all of 'em vumping me at the same time?

I dunno how it works with truck tires, but I have had great luck buying used car tires pretty gorram cheap. There are plenty of places around here thaat carry 'em; don't know about your area. Typically, their what's left over after someone does a periodic tire change, which means they are still in excellent shape, and usually about $15-20US, at least around here.

Just a suggestion, VOMP!
