My apologies if I posted this thread on the wrong board; I figure someone will move it, if I did.
A year ago, this past December, Battlestar Galactica (2004) was still a nominee show at Rich Labonte's TV Vote Poll.
Now, BSG is the 5th ranking show on the poll, gaining (v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y) on #4 show Gunsmoke, which just took the 4th spot in the TV Vote Hall of Fame for reaching 250,000 votes:
(Statistics in parentheses are previous day's stats, for comparison purposes)
#4 Show:
Gunsmoke 255,437 (255,022)
Yesterday, Gunsmoke fans voted 415 times (392). They cast 23 more votes than the previous day, 5.87%.
#5 Show:
Battlestar Galactica (2004) 214,369 (213,875)
Yesterday, Battlestar Galactica fans voted 494 times (507), 13 fewer than the previous day, 2.56%.
Battlestar Galactica was the 5th top-scoring show of all, again, yesterday, after Firefly, Buffy, Jericho, and, Bonanza!
BSG is now chasing the Hall of Fame, which isn't all that far off! At current voting rates, we are 35,613 (36,125) votes, and, 72.13 (71.25) days, away from our own spot in the HoF! Keep that in mind, folks, as an achievement worthy of our efforts!
We'll get our next banner, for 215,000 votes, in 631 (1,125) votes, and, 1.28 (2.22) days!
Gunsmoke is 41,068 (41,147) votes ahead of us, and, voting less than we are. Notice that we are closing the gap (today's stat, versus the stat in parentheses, from yesterday). The good news is, we're moving up, again! The bad news is, we're still doing it VERY slowly.
In order to pass Gunsmoke, it will take 519.85 (357.8) days, 1.47 (.98) years, based on current voting levels (yesterday, our vote lead over them was a mere 79 (115)/day). A decrease of 36 votes on our positive voting differential added another 162.05 days, or, 5.4 months, to our time to intercept.
We need to vote more, to increase our daily lead, and, to reduce our time to target. If, for example, our positive vote differential was just 75 higher, yesterday, 154, then we would only need a relatively lower 266.68 days. We can do that, and, better! As always, this figure will continue to fluctuate, depending on how Gunsmoke fans vote, as well as on how we vote.
When the difference between shows is so high, every single vote has a HUGE impact. Is everybody using a vote timer? Download FlyVote by FlyVote. It'll remind you it's time to vote: http://usbmicro.com/misc
So, how does it work? Easy. Use one of the following links, for either the Top 40 Poll (for BSG and related voting fandoms) at:
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote
http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html
ALL three links work for voting for shows in the Top 40 Poll, so if you have trouble getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. I recommend bookmarking them all, for rapid transition, if you have trouble voting.
...Or, the Nominations Poll (for the Nominee show of your choice, though, Blood Ties (2006) is actively assisting BSG and the other members of our cooperative, and, has great potential to return a kindness with their own votes) at:
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/nominations.html
You can vote for more than one Top 40 show at a time; just check all the boxes you like, then submit your vote, once every hour. In the Nominations (where Blood Ties is, currently) you simply type (or, C&P) the title of one show into the box, and, submit the vote. You can only nominate one show per hour. Votes are counted per ISP, so, don't go to the library or your office and vote hourly on each computer, or, all votes will be thrown out.
I will post stats here, daily, outlining where BSG stands in the Poll, and, where it is headed. Your faithful Tallymister would like to hope that he is making a meaningful contribution to the cause. If you appreciate seeing these stats every morning, please show it by voting Dark Shadows, and, Firefly, too, as well as Nominating Blood Ties (all of whom contribute votes to BSG), when you vote BSG!
Fresh stats in the morning.
Yours in the cause,
-Tallymister Raycheetah =^[.]^=
