Free TV_Vote Contest: Predict when Firefly will go over 125,000 and win a prize!

Over the past months, you may have seen one or more of these threads like:
Vote for Firefly! http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=26017
and the actual vote tabluation is done here:
http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

This is a "fan power" survey, where you can vote once an hour as many times as you wish for your favorite shows. Firefly has been doing very well here. In an effort to keep interest up, I've decided to run this -fun- little contest.

Winner may select a prize from any of the retailers listed here, maximum value (including shipping and handling!) of $20.
** http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25916

If winner does not specify a prize, they will receive a copy of the Done the Impossible DVD from here:
http://www.donetheimpossible.com/

Rules: one entry per human being, posted here. If you have multiple FFF accounts, please only make one prediction. Once you predict, no changes. In the event of a tie, winner will be selected by die roll, said die roll to be audited by my lovely wife. No fee to enter. Entry must be made by midnight EST Dec 31; no entries accepted after that.
No obligation to buy anything. If you lose, you can't sue me. All decisions final.
Winner will have to provide me a shipping address or address to send check to **.
No trick, no gimmick, I have nothing to gain from this (and $20 to lose ;-) ). Exactly one prize will be given away; no more.

How to play: Pick the date that you think firefly will go over 125,000 votes; then estimate what the "total votes" we will have that day, without going over ("total votes" will be the first tie breaker). In the event of a tie, the person who guesses the closest, without going over, to the number of "total votes" recorded for the day will win; if that's a tie, winner will be selected at random.

Suggestions: There's been a number of threads discussing the TV_vote; latest being. Check out some of the stats before picking a date.
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=26017

Eg: If you go to this URL, you will see that there's a date at the top: http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html
The winning date will the date at the top of the page where the page shows 125,000 -or more- votes for firefly. Say this date is January 3, 2007 (hey, I can dream!), and the vote total for that date is 125,444. Four people guess this date with the following "total vote that day" guesses:
a) 125,445
b) 125,400
c) 125,400
d) 125,111
Person a) will be out of contention; as they "went over". person d) is out of contention because there's two people who were closer in their guess than he/she. Persons b) and c) will enter a random selection process, and one will be chosen as the winner of the prize.

** I've never done business with any of these retailers and I reserve the right to send a check for $20 to the winner if I have a hard time either meeting payment method requirements (ie: I don't have paypal) or have trouble getting them to ship to an alternative address.

One final note; if those that run this site determine this contest is problematic in any way, the contest is immediately cancelled and no prize will be awarded.

LEADB

Sunday, December 24, 2006 6:50 PM

Dang, I knew I'd forget something. If no one picks the correct date; again, we will go with "closest without going over". Thus if the correct date is Jan 3, some folks guess Jan 1, other guess Jan 4; it will be the folks on Jan 1 (closest without going over); then ties broken by total vote guess, etc.

You didn't guess a "total" for the tie breaker. If folks don't put in a total guess, then their guess is -exactly- on the money; ie: 125,000.

Ecgordon... feel free to ammend with a total guess for the day if you want something besides exactly 125,000; but you can't change the day.

Damned shiney of you LeadB!

Bein one of the afore mentioned statisticians, I'm of two minds here...
1) Wait for more data (default statistician position).
2) The holidays are skewing the data, guess now before it gets worse.

LEADB

Thursday, January 4, 2007 2:59 AM

I've double checked Yinyang's work, and find it to be accurate. This is the contestant - guess list:

Ecgordon – January 9; 125,231
BlueEyedBrigadier - January 14; 125,521
Dewrastler - January 16; 125,087
Scarecrow866 - January 18; 125,036
Derangedmilk - January 18; 125,237
MrsCobb - January 19; 125,100
Sweetserendipity - January 20; 125,238
Fireflygal – January 21; 125,088
Yinyang - January 23; 125,083
EvilBungle – January 24; 125,151
Jlin - January 25; 125,151
Daveshayne – January 30; 125,011
Anders – January 30; 125,126
Psands - January 31; 125,064

Flyvote - February 1; 125,125
RMMC - February 2; 125,591
GreenFaerie - February 5; 125,177

Fedexxx - February 12; 125,125
DRU - February 13; 125,001
Traevynn - February 19; 125,048

And "makes official" the interpretation of EvilBungle's guess as being "January" 24.

Folks... if you want Ecgordon to win, we gots to get voting! We only have 11 days left and 17 thousand votes to go! I'm all for an optomist winning this, since the more of an optomist wins, that means the faster Firefly got votes!

Thursday, January 4, 2007 3:36 AM

I'm gonna lose, 'cause we'll be well past 125k by Feb 1st. But that is a GOOD THING.

If I had (or were to) win, I would have upped the ante by tossing in $20 of my own for the 150k mark. Perhaps the winner will do that.

FLYVOTE

Wednesday, January 10, 2007 7:33 PM

Since I'm going to lose anyway, I may as well provide the means.

FlyVote 1.1 will help you vote for FireFly by popping up the vote page for your vote, then sleeping for 60 minutes.

Give it a try. Let me know if you have any troubles with the program. Windows/Linux/Mac.

The Windows program does not requite an install - it is just an .exe. Can be run from a USB drive to take from PC to PC.

I think so much of the program that I posted your links to the SCIFI Firefly forum. I hope you don't mind. If it turns out to be spyware, you're a dead man. Of course, no browncoat would do something like that, so I trust you!

Well, not to be looking like I'm playing favorites, but with the incredible turn out we've had this week, I cannot see any way for this to turn out but one... (knocks on wood) ... best wishes fireflygal! ... (knocks on more wood).

Oh, you're playing favorites. I say you had this fixed the whole time.

I'm not sure how you managed it, but I'm completely sure that you cheated. Manipulated things, I say, to benefit the person that you are predisposed to favor.

You're no longer in the band, man! Take your toys and go home. I don't want to play no more.

There! That was fun. Got that out of my system. I got to use all of the angry icons! I still don't know when to use this though...

Big congrats to Fireflygal, who is the best gal with firefly in her name! Good job with your guess.

And many thanks to LeadB for starting this contest. Wanna do another? 150k? I'll even pitch in. Send "Flyvote" a message if you would like to do this.

Oh, god! I missed "fork" and "evil" I guess that those two are good for when you want to be forkin' evil!

(OK enough goofing with the emoticons...)

Seriously, I wanted

O.K. My guess is... Jan 21 with 125,089 votes!

Wooo hooo! I win!

I really thought that I would be pretty close with my guess in Feb. But, Hey, I'm tickled to be wrong in the right direction to be wrong! Congrats again to FireflyGal!

There will be another contest...

:fireworks:
ok... it didn't work, but you get the idea.

We hit the bit 125K mark today, as much anticipated.

Flyvote wins with his... What? His entry was... late!!!... Take that boy out to the wood shed!

The genuine, official, most incredibly accurate guessing contestant is :drumroll:

FIREFLYGAL with her entry of: January 21; 125,088
!!!!

I'd like to thank all of you who participated in our little event here. Lots of good guesses and some genuine fun. In fact... so much fun, I've been asked to put up a run for the 150K mark; expect a thread shortly... new sponsor too!

Speaking of sponsors, I'll be sending a Fly gal a note with details on how to collect her prize.

Very nice acceptance speach... short, to the point, pithy!

For the curious, FireflyGal had to ponder long and hard over what her "prize" should be.

You might recall that the list of prize "points" was select to be a group of vendors which were "disappointed" when... well... you can read it here:
** http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25916

In her words...
>Actually what I would like to do, one of the vendors at Flan B
>that you missed was the Bedlam Bards. I would like to donate the
>$20 to them since they drove out and played and they are least
>able to afford it of any of the guests.

Needless to say, this was exactly "in spirit" of the intention of the prize selection list; she even did the leg work to figure out how to make the donations (THANKS!).

This also introduced me to the Bards; and I'm saving up my personal pennies to order their "Fire fly themed" cd
"On the Drift"

which can be found here:
http://www.bedlambards.com/recordng.html

The clips sound most intriguing!

Once again, thank you all who entered; for whom without this contest would have been most boring indeed ;-) And thanks to our fun and gracious winner, FireflyGal!
