*********HDNET Fights Poll Over (5-27-08) "We Deed it Mayne"********

[Paul L]

70,000 votes and we are in the lead with 64% (21,000 vote deficit)!

After this, I think we should put all that effort into getting MMA legalized in NY and Ontario, and wherever else it's still illegal, there's obviously a lot of fiercely dedicated MMA fans here...

bump for votes

ok how exactly does this work

[Reasonable]

It works like this..

Phase 1: You vote HDNet Fights.
Phase 3: We get better fights on TV more often.

That's all we need. If you are conflicted over who to vote for, vote for HDNet Fights in this poll, and Jericho in the (other) poll I posted above (which doesn't have HDNet Fights as an option).

Also, now by posting in this thread, you might win a T-shirt or gloves signed by Tim & Fedor.

It's like magic. And by magic I mean good fights.

They haven't given up. Well, they haven't given up on the show, they're starting to lose faith on winning this poll and directing attention other places.

Some of them have gone back their "We are losing, they must be cheating/hacking/bribing" stance. Which is hilarious. "I just voted 4 or 5 times a minute for the last half hour" turns into "This isn't fair, they're cheating. I'm writing a complaint" from the same user.

It's funny, because they stand to lose far more than we do by complaining. Not only by not being able to say they were a finalist in a 32-show elimination tournament for best show in HD. It's worse. They're trying to organize a campaign to save their show. This is presumably based mostly on how vocal, dedicated, and passionate they are for the show. If they encourage the pollsters to invalidate it, they're going to be found out, and from then forward no one will believe them anywhere on anything and it will ruin their entire campaign. "We've had 50,000 write-in letters", "Yeah, that's nice. It's probably 20 people, just like last time on that poll. Ignore them. This is why the ratings were low two years in a row."

I haven't even been powervoting since the post-fight rush hit, and kinda wish I hadn't beforehand, since we're legitimately destroying them now. Not that they believe it. We must be cheating, no way the entire MMA community could be outvoting a few hardcore Jericho fans!

But no, an equally passionate but larger community, on a fight weekend has nothing to do with it right? I mean, feck. I've been a member for 3 or 4 months, this weekend is the first time I've bothered to check the Sherdog forums. Between big name fights (New Years was the last), damned if I care what goes on here.

It's funny. They just don't understand how big a difference between a bi-annual fight weekend like Tito/Penn/Silva and a normal weekend. It's not like a 10% boost. It's like 10,000% boost. But it's like evil wizardry to them.

Lame sauce. I wish they'd be a little more gracious in defeat, if that's what it is for them. And I *like* their show.
