I thought we weren't having the live chat tonight because it wasn't convenient for the BGs. It looks like everyone is there tonight but Luke. I have to work tomorrow morning and miss the chat. Thanks Luke. ~mutter~

Do you have to be grumpy to post in here or can you just be perplexed and bewildered?

I'm trying to reason this out here. How many people are registered here? If there are only say, 500, then this vote is definitely wonky, but if there are 1500, then I'm not so sure.

How many people have seen the last few votes and seen the impact that the last votes make on the outcome? The majority of people I've talked to said they were waiting to post their votes.

People who waited till the end to vote are surprised that others waited till the end to vote...hmmm...what's up with that?

In the first vote 131 people voted. In the second vote, 109 1/2 people voted. (that's possible, I only voted for one that round) In this third round, 246 1/2 people voted. Blah, that is the only trouble I'm having here. Is that number really unbelievable?

Perplexed, bewildered and sad are all okay, Wcv.

Sit down and tell me about it.

I think you can be befuddled but not ostentatious.

That's a no no.

Pssst lurkers, cmere wanna have a talk with y'all.

I know it's a really sucky thing to have to do, but could some of y'all go answer Whit's silly post.

I know some of you think it's noone's business who you voted for. That's okay I don't want to bother you. You can just move on to the next thread. ~wave~

But the others that just don't like to post could you do it just this once? It's not so much that I want to know if you voted for Moon or not, I just want people to see you are out there. These people around here that post everyday just don't think about you out there. I want them to see you.

If you don't know how to use the message post thingie, call your kid or spouse over and tell them to show you how. People that know all about computers just don't realize what a hassle it is to figure that thing out.

Thanks

Well seeing as how ostentatiosness is not an emotion but rather an attitude I'm inclined to agree with you Guru. That is a first!! I'd like to add contentious to that list as well. Would you agree?

Nahh just giving them a place to gather, Drdude. Feel free to use the couch in the corner for therapy if you want, but once you pick their spirits up, get em out of here. k?

Ok guys - before we get to far into the "polling the jury" - I wanna place my odds on the outcome of it -

here's my guess - would love to hear yours....

(the actual count may be slightly different but the proportions I believe will be this)

say...

32 votes for Vykin
28 for May
22 for Luke
14 for Moon
12 for Roger

Anyone else for a guess on what the final tally will be on my vote count?

There are 760 people registered here. Probably at least 100 of them are accounts that haven't been used for 30 days.

Can I come into the grumpy room? I've always wanted to use this and now I have my chance.

Sure Kady, knock yourself out.

If you sit on that couch in the corner, a strange man might start talking to you. It's Drdrew.... err I mean Drdude, humor him. He needs to feel useful.

246 people out of 660. Is that unreasonable? This is really driving me crazy.

OMG,I feel like Jordan! ~whine~ I want to know if someone cheated! ~whine~ tell me, tell me

See, I'm not one of you that is that someone would actually vote for Moon. ~gasp~
I'm not surprised that a lot of people waited till the zero hour to vote. It's only the number that has me wondering....ARGH! I hate this.

Kady, one more thing. I saw those nachos in your hand when you walked in the door. We keep a clean little grumpy room here.

Don't spell dose nachos on the floor!

Az, I promise if I spell dem nachos on dat dare foor, I'll clean it up. I don't want you shooing me out.

Are you planning on staying in this grumpy room all night? I'm probably gonna fall asleep on this couch waiting for Drdrude, so I can get my meds. If you decide to leave, just turn the lights off.

~kady waves a weak goodnight to everyone~

Hmmmmm.... soooo...
660 who've accessed their account in 30 days certainly doesn't mean that the majority of them accessed their account in the past 30 days because of "The Game" - 20 days ago the majority of us BB fans were logging on daily to find out what was going on with the HGs after the game. What % of all those watching BB are actively reading /lurking in this Game? What % of those actually got to vote? (I've heard a # of the daily posters say even THEY missed the vote do to the fact they thought the vote was till 6 pm pst - because that's what the host accidently???? said.

So lets say 3/4 of those who signed on in the last month to this site to find out if Eddie got his $$ or if Brit was moving in with Curt etc... actually lurk on this board. that'd be what 420?

Ok now one thing you need to understand LURKERS by definition (and I've been one for years on a # of boards) do not post to the boards. Most boards have dozens/ if not hundreds who are strictly lurkers who never post to the board.

Ok but lets say HERE in this GAME 3/4 of all the lurkers did decide to register and vote in the poll. That'd be what? about 80 are regular posters so 250 lurkers who delurked registered to vote here. Out of those 250....about how many do you think actually took the time to vote in this vote? lets say 90%? that'd be 225... gotta count in the ones who couldnt get the polls to work, who didn't get to vote because of the confusion over the time it closed, those who simply forgot etc... lets say 10%... that's 200 or so left to vote.... Moon apparently got about 12 votes from the regulars here...so that leaves 112 votes from the lurkers... that leaves hmmm what about 60% voting for her.

I know my math isn't perfect here but you get the idea.

IF 75% of all BB lurkers in last 30 days AND of the % of THOSE who remained lurkers here, AND 50% of them ACTUALLY delurked, registered and planned to vote here, OF the $ left who voted, over 60% of those voted for MOON - and 1/5 of them did so in the last hour. That's 44 - now imagine if you will outta say 660 people who have been active here in the past month, almost 8% of them voted FOR moon in the last hour of the poll.

So...it's possible.

Whit4you

Yup it's possible Azriel, anything's possible.

For me personally having been the host of a group of 400+ people, most very personally involved in the group (I've met over 120 of them live) - when I took a vote - even for something VERY important to the group, only about 40% of them voted. The less important polls I'd average them out to about 20% of them voting. I won't list off the 101 reasons but that's my stats. They were not lurkers (we didn't have lurkers very exclusive club lol)

Now of the 660 total posters at TVFANCLUB.COM how many realistically would take the time to vote in "The Game" section ya know?

Perhaps those couple hundered lurkers feel differently about this section of The Game, and this particular vote - then those in my group did about a group that spent $80,000+ a month on AOL to be together? Maybe ya never know :)
