Was it because Firefly shifted position in the list? (Sorry - curious geek....)

Yup. My displays worked fine (once I updated the macro), but I forgot that the cells I cut/copy/paste to the board have absolute, not relative references. *Sigh*

The charts are up to date as well now. Different mistake there. I used the ones from the wrong date initially.

Flattop, couldn't you use the stats that flyvote posted on the other thread from february and make your graphs go back farther? Not sure if its that easy, I may be a geek but math was never my strong suit (odd, i know).

I've gone visiting on Bonanza's site again, and there seems to be some discussion with regards to our Lexx alliance. (Not a big discussion, there's not really a lot of posters there now).

Anyway, they seem to have decided on a Gunsmoke alliance.

We'll see how that goes.

BTW, I see Buffy has a banner up!
I've been voting for her as well, and am glad that it's going so well.

I also checked out the Xena board I found earlier, but there's not a lot of activity on the vote thread. I think there must be some activity somewhere because their numbers are up. Does anyone have any directions? I did a search and ended on a lesbian porn site! A bit difficult to explain to my IT department.

Anyway, Derangedmilk, I see you're out there on the sci-fi board bumping the vote. Well done!

I think we should all adopt one more board to bump on.

I'll check tomorrow to see where I'm registered. We actually needs someone on whedonesque, since it has a huge following, and threads get instant attention. Unfortunately they're apparently not taking new members? Right?

Right. Also judging by their FAQ they frown on topic churning. Post once and then move on is their attitude. Not like around here where you'll see several threads on a single topic getting bumped mercilesly.

Oh well! If we could find anyone who has an account there to post about voting just once more it'd be a huge help. The week or so they were voting for us we broke 1300 a day. Even if we get frowned at, just to see those numbers again would be totally worth it IMO!

This is so shiny!

I did a more up-person projection, one where we're getting approximately 1000 votes a day. And then we're looking at world domination by May'07.
If we do approximately 900, we're looking at annihilation in June/July.

I'm replying to FlatTop only because his tagline is "yours may be the voice that makes the difference."

I really want to address everyone voting for Firefly or Lexx or any other show. My message is this: trash talk sucks.

Just because one Bonanza fan, a few months ago, said they'd squashed Firefly like a bug (they had at that time), why do we have to continue to diss them?

I joined a Bonanza forum to see what they're saying about us, and anything negative has been in response to something we've said in this forum.

Most of them are taking the moral high ground (a Cartwright trait) and just voting for their favourite show, and you know what? It makes them look good.

My philosophy: vote a lot and be nice. We're gonna win, I have no doubt, and I'm doing my part, but trash talk hurts me as much as the intended victim.

Again, this was not aimed at anyone in particular. If it's too serious, I apologize. Sometimes I just can't keep my mouth shut. Thanks for listening.

BELCARRAN

Friday, December 15, 2006 3:26 AM (P)

I've been peeking at the Bonanza boards too. Remember when someone here said the Bonanzites probably weren't too computer-savvy? Here's a quote: It is now 1:55 a.m. and I have logged in 30 votes today. I am going to sleep very content with the knowledge that I have spoken on behalf of BONANZA

For someone to log 30 votes in a day, they have to be using unsecure wi-fi networks or some other work around. They know what they're doing over there.

Sure, you piss them off and they vote more, that's normal. But Firefly is gonna win nevertheless, so why shouldn't we get some fun of it :) They can get mad all they want, they still got 400 votes to catch up!
The situation is the opposite with Lexx, we have no hope of beating them, but we still like to make fun of them :)
And let me repeat - I hate westerns.

Still voting for Firefly and Lexx. I don't like to bump more than once a day, because it takes too much time and I'm quite busy with all that stupid homework!!!

I agree with you, however this is the main difference, the other threads may all have 1000+ votes but they don't have the quality of posts, where else has there been a competition to get the most interesting bump??

the majority of posts are simply stating they have voted, it is that difference that keeps coming back and means that we might as well come back and read the next lot, the trash talk is part of this, you can't take the passion away from Browncoats, it's why were all here, all I would say is if any Cartwrights/Xenites/Scapers or whatever are reading this then return to your boards and get even, we will only find it more fun.

For me the idea of the vote is to get your show noticed and we are doing that, every board around lists their score, the score of those around them and ours! Personally I have already ordered the first series of Lexx and watched a few episods of farscape and if we can get firefly to be watched by just a few people they will become browncoats and we will go on!

We haven't talked much trash in a week or more... (or have I gotten so used to it that I have become desensitized to our verbal violence?)
Sure I diss'd Nikki as we passed her (and every other show as we went by (and let's face it, Prince really did leave me an excellent tune to work with)), but that's a tradition (wouldn't be right to be excludin' folk) My heart wasn't really in it because Nikki was never a threat.

There was a thread somewhere where a few folk actually said some almost nice things about Bonanza.
I suppose the reason I (won't speak for others here), on occasion, talk trash/rabble rouse is because Bonanza is the only real challenge. For as long as I've been keeping records, Bonanza is the only show to pull more votes in a day than Firefly. They are putting up a fight. We're gaining on them now, but at our closure rate it'll be 4 - 12 months (depending on how you want to mash the numbers) before we catch them. There's a whole lot of 'if' between now and then. Who's to say that in 3 months Bonanza won't be pulling away fast? I would expect to have my nose seriously rubbed in that 'Squishing Firefly like a bug' comment.
Hmmmm... Come to think of it, the trash talk (as I recall) was centered around the time when Bonanza was pulling away from us. We needed to raise the excitement level here on the board, and get out our vote. Now that we are consistently outpacing them, things have settled down for the most part.
My appologies for the length. Just needed to walk my brain through it (before my first cup of coffee even).
Short answer: For now, we don't. We can be a nice silent death approaching with the inevitability of time.

When you look at the other boards for our competitors, there's an interesting pattern. A call to arms, blind hope that they will keep their place, a last call for action then quiet resignation as we race on by.

This is different, the voting space between us much larger and the daily voting differential less,a lot can happen in 2007 to tip the balance either way.

The bonanza fans are similar to browncoats, I guess it's a honest passion and 45 years of fan activity deserves recognition and acknowledgement.

I've neither the time nor the patience to do a full contextual analysis between the characters of the two shows. But I will say that these two shows are from a different time and age.

The crew of Firefly is multifaith, multicultural and socially diverse. Bonanza is anchored in the era of a Cold War white family where Father knows best. That feels like Browncoats versus Alliance to me, but at the same time I cannot ignore Michael Landon unfailing altruism so it could be either way.

I can respect that characters in Bonanza are god fearing and want to make their own way in the world without being beholden to any man or govt. What of the Native Americans who inhabited the land before the Ponderosa ranch was formed?

When Unification happened, did the Alliance send in their settlers and colonists to seed Independent towns and settlements? It's highly likely. It's been a common practice since Roman times with conquered land awarded to retired soldiers.

I don't know enough of the Bonanza back story to answer the next question. Where would the Cartwrights place their allegiance? Are they Browncoat or Alliance?

If they're Browncoat then we will pass them with a smile. If they're Alliance then passing them will be a pleasure, a responsibility and a duty.

I hope that I didn't start the "Bonanza trash talk" debate with my post about what's happening on their boards.

I just think it's prudent to keep an eye on what they're doing, in as far as it's possible. They are, after all, our biggest threat to world domination.

As far as I'm aware, we haven't had any trash talking about Bonanza in ages. And they haven't discussed us for just as long. There seems to have been some sort of unspoken cease fire, ever since we noticed them lurking on our boards. I mean we haven't been calling them "old geezers" out loud, and they've refrained from referring to us as "young, out of work, loafing computer geeks" (I'm paraphrasing of course...)

Things are going so well!

Although I have to admit, secretly and deep down, I sort of miss their insults and comments.... Although I would in no way insinuate that they started the trash talk. We gave as good as we got, I think.

No, of course you didn't. I did by bringing it up. And I just want to thank everyone who responded. I was preparing for flames, but this board is special, and the comments were thoughtful and polite.

Now let's get rowdy and vote 'til our keyboards explode.

Speaking of exploding, we had a nasty windstorm here in Vancouver today that left about 250,000 people without power for many hours. I was unable to get my usual vote quota in, so I might have to stay up late tonight to catch up.

If anyone is paying attention to the lower reaches of the Top 40, you'll find 3 Star Treks led by ST:TNG bunching up and climbing . Further down, House is pulling in over 200 votes a day and is making quick progress upward. And down on the nomination poll, Battlestar Galactica (2004) is also getting over 200 votes a day and will soon displace West Wing in 40th spot.

At this rate, eventually there will be nothing but Sci-fi/Fantasy and Westerns (and maybe House) in the top ranks.

BELCARRAN

Saturday, December 16, 2006 12:42 AM (P)

While it may not be an age-gap issue, here's proof that Bonanza fans have trouble understanding what is truly meant by the word fans (as in fanatics).
Quoted from the biggest Bonanza board:
If one of us Bonanza lovers knows how the kids are rigging their computers to get their totals up, please share, even if it is by Private Mail. I am confident they have figured something out. I doubt that 1300 people even saw Firefly when it was on the air for half a season!

It's interesting to note that there is a lot of discussion about Star Trek on the Bonanza board (e.g. comparisons between the Cartwrights and the Enterprise crew). I'm positive that if some of them were exposed to Firefly, they'd get it. Maybe not vote for Firefly, but at least understand our motivation.

I've noticed that SciFi and westerns are dominating the poll as well. Not sure what to make of that.

I frequent the BSG boards on scifi.com as well, and they are doing just what we are, bumping regularly and posting votes per day, time to intercept the works. The new BSG is a great show and has a huge fanbase. Definitely worth watching, even if they are a ways off.

Oh my. Apparently this person didn't notice that Serenity was a major motion picture; and it made money;-) . And he/she didn't realize that folks who liked the movie, might have run out and bought the series on DVD. Personally, I've never seen a "broadcast" of Firefly; I just own the series on DVD.

But the one store had a raincheck thing attached to Firefly's shelf space. I took it to a clerk and now I can buy Firefly for $18.99 until 01/29/2007.

The other store that had Serenity still did not have the raincheck thing. I wonder if people have to request that they print up the raincheck things.
