[Cadaverous Pallor]

I have now voted from Firefox, IE, and my Palm Pre. :D Whip out those smartphones, people!

[Not Afraid]

I have voted twice.

[CoasterMatt]

The monkey and the doggies will vote tomorrow when they wake up.

[BarTopDancer]

I voted from FF and IE.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Wendybeth and the other Northwesterners aren't doing their part. (http://www.micropoll.com/akira/mpresult/657890-200639) ;)

You're losing your home state, Helen! Gotta go door to door!

[wendybeth]

I refuse to Twitter. It just sounds funny.

You're not so twitterific it hurts?

Please, sir and miss. Would you vote for me so I can get free sock yarn for a year?

My phone is already overwhelmed with all the e-mail and text alerts- if I start Twittering I think my phone will explode.

You don't twitter to vote, you just click a box.

[wendybeth]

Alright, I joined. Is there a Twitter link to vote?

[3894]

Alright, I joined. Is there a Twitter link to vote?

You don't need to be on Twitter. You just vote at this site (http://www.knit-purl.com/Store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=154&idproduct=4337).

The only thing -and I quote the contest - "twitterific" about it is that the entrants had to post their entries on twitter to begin with. Now, it's just at a regular site.

As of right now, I am firmly in 2nd place ... and you know 3894 doesn't do second place. Let's vote!

[wendybeth]

That's the one I already voted at!!!!! Geesh. How else can I cheat help you?

[Snowflake]

Aha!!! Clearing cookies allowed me to vote again! C'mon everyone, do your duty! :D

[Cadaverous Pallor]

That's the one I already voted at!!!!! Geesh. How else can I cheat help you?As we said above, we're using different browsers and different computers.

What made you think this is a twitter thing?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Aha!!! Clearing cookies allowed me to vote again! C'mon everyone, do your duty! :DHeh, sorry, I won't clear all my cookies. Tried removing cookies only for the site but it didn't work...

[lashbear]

CP: did you find 3 cookies for the micropoll site?

Also, on checking the votes (NSW is a limited audience) though clearing cookies a *ahem* number of times, there still remains only the two votes - one from Stoat and one from Myself. I think it also looks at your isp,dns thingies (whatever they are) as well. :(

[wendybeth]

As we said above, we're using different browsers and different computers.

What made you think this is a twitter thing?


The post with the link that indicated we werent' doing our part up here: 'Whose photo is the most twitterific?' .....and then had the map of voters, etc. Anyway, I did vote!

[wendybeth]

Mayhap this needs to be moved to FB- I have a fairly large Mafia I can tap into. They love criminal activities.:D

[Andrew]

I have voted.

[Moonliner]

I was just *wink* cleaning up my browser *wink* *wink* and noticed the oddest thing.

If you clear your browser history and cookies then revisit the site, you can vote again. *wink*. How very odd.

[RStar]

voted from my work computer....

;)

[Ghoulish Delight]

It's a shame I don't work in a computer lab with access to several different computers to vote from.

Rumor has it that today, Sept. 8, is the last day of voting. Charity's fine, contribute to mine!

[Snowflake]

I just posted a link on my FB to encourage all my friends to do their duty!:p

[Ghoulish Delight]

A mere 18 votes to go to take the lead.

[Gemini Cricket]

I voted for melsworth.

[Moonliner]

I voted for melsworth.

If she loses by one vote.....

[Gemini Cricket]

If she loses by one vote.....
I kid. My vote went to obmika.

[BarTopDancer]

I'm voting early and often!

[wendybeth]

I posted a link on my profile page at FB. I know several have voted, but I don't see a change in stats in the poll area? Are we cheating voting in a rigged contest?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Try hitting ctrl-f5, maybe your browser isn't updating, because I definitely see a change, she's only 9 votes behind now.

[wolfy999]

2nd vote in.....getting even closer now!

[wendybeth]

Last look shows a tie!

[Gemini Cricket]

Ah, I didn't know we could vote more than once.
D'oh!

[3894]

I kid. My vote went to obmika.

dead heat, going to vote once more!

[lashbear]

The contest link has just been posted on my Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and to 23 of my friends by Email.

Here's hoping....

[wolfy999]

4 votes total from the wolfpack.....on to the next computer (have 4)

[Moonliner]

3894 Has taken the lead. By one vote. (Thanks Hawaii!)

Keep that stuffing going!

[Gemini Cricket]

It won't let me vote any more.
Hmph!

[RStar]

It won't let me vote any more.
Hmph!

Do you want milk with those cookies?

[BarTopDancer]

5 votes behind!

[BarTopDancer]

1 vote behind!

[lashbear]

As at 6:10pm Eastern Standard Time in Australia, Helen was winning 222 votes to 220. :snap:

...and as that means it's 1:10am on 09/09/09 then I declare 3894 to be the winner !!! Unless the poll lets other votes go through still... :rolleyes:

[3894]

Must .... have.... more....votes!

http://www.firstscience.com/home/images/legacygallery/vampire.jpg

[flippyshark]

Looks like a tie. But nothing's been announced.

[lashbear]

Helen Ahead - 230 to 225

...Also, use your Dataphone / iPhone to vote (but not via your home wifi) - it will register another vote, being from a different IP.

We can DO it !!!! :cheers:

[Betty]

I voted again!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I copycatted everyone who posted it to facebook. Hopefully we brought some votes in.

[flippyshark]

Another vote from FL :)

[Snowflake]

Ahead by 11 votes!

[Andrew]

I voted from two computers on different subnets at work. 242 - 229 Helen!

[wolfy999]

Hubby is voting now, we have to make sure Helen wins!

[DreadPirateRoberts]

I've voted from every computer I can think of. I'm expecting some pretty sweet socks out of this deal if she wins.

[3894]

Just keep voting, just keep voting, just keep voting!

[BarTopDancer]

Looks like it's over. Did anyone catch the count before it went offline?

[Ghoulish Delight]

I checked about 20 minutes ago and she was ahead by 10 votes.

[Betty]

Fingers crossed for you!

Congrats! I think you should knit an afghan in celebration of this entirely legitimate electoral process.

[BarTopDancer]

Congrats!!!!!!!

Depends what client you use.

You should be able to go to their profile and select "direct message" (which as far as I know is the same thing as a PM...private message).

[mousepod]

Fantastic. We look forward to seeing your new creations.

[katiesue]

Congratulations!

[Moonliner]

Lot Rocks The Socks! Well done one and all.

[Andrew]

Congratulations!

When may I expect the matched set of three knitted cat cozies?

[3894]

When may I expect the matched set of three knitted cat cozies?

Cozies to put over cats, like a tea cozy? Or cozies shaped like cats? Both make my head hurt.

Instead, I think I'll finish up this sockly tribute to Space Invaders (http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTbmp.html). Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the good photo. They're for my BIL's bday.

[Betty]

Congrats to you!

Now - what else can we do collectively to rule the world?

[flippyshark]

Congrats, and give that kitty some extra tuna tonight.

[wendybeth]

Yaaay, Helen! I hereby nominate you as comptroller for the Florida State elections committee! ;)

(Big hugs to your cute kitteh, and loads of snackies).

[lashbear]

Congratulations !!!! What fabulous news to wake to.

Final Score:
3894: 247
runner-up: 236

Good On You !!

...and who's the dream team?? Go LoT !!! Good On You Guys, too :snap:


...and while we're at it, Good On Me just cos.

God bless you, every one. :snap:

Q: I'm supposed to PM the store owner via twitter. No can do because, although I'm following her store, her store is not following me. Daughter #2 attempted to overcome my natural non-twitterificness but no success. As you know, unless there is followage, there can be no PM, n'est-ce pas. Is there a way to invite someone to follow you?

(At this point, that's kind of a theoretical question because I've also: 1) e-mailed her at the store and 2) phoned. I haven't made contact but I will, oh yes I surely will.)

[Betty]

You'd better! After all our hard work. ;)

[Andrew]

You can't DM unless they're following you, but you can @ message them and they should see it. It's not private though.

[Moonliner]

God bless you, every one. :snap:

And, if needed, the "Dream Team" can always morph into a "Rabid Wolf Pack" and descend upon them with great vengeance.

[Not Afraid]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[RStar]

Congrats! :snap:

Only winning by 11, I'm glad I voted 3 times.....

Whew!:eek:

[ToriBear]

Congratulations!!!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'd feel bad for cheating, but the way the runner-up kept pace that last day seems to indicate equal (well, not quite equal) shenanigans on their side, so all's fair in love and socks I suppose.
