$$$ for WPI vote daily now in Vivint Round 2!

[May12th]

I'd ask that you vote for National ME/FM Action network. They have worked very hard throughout the contest to get votes while IACFS has done very little and only just at the end. It would be a nice show of support for the team of people working hard for the national group if you gave them you support in the final hours. We woud at least like to get to second place just in case #1 is disqualified or in case they pull another surprise and give an award to 2nd place finishers like they have with the wildcard draw. You never know what they might do. Thanks

I should have explained the way I was calculating my rough numbers. I figured in that the group second place would continue to gather votes as well, roughly 100 a day, then rounded up. I don't think there would be more than a couple of hundred votes difference between the two groups, we just have to pick one. My personal preference is for IACFS/ME and see if we can encourage some people to change, also asking if we can count on a full on blitz if things change in the Canadian region

Of course, you are right, Helen, to factor in the ave. no. of votes Saint John's is getting on a daily basis. Thanks. Am having a tough time deciding which way to vote.

 

[eric_s]

I think if somebody wants to vote for a charity other than the WPI, the IACFS/ME is the better option. Because i don't see a big chance the no.1 in Canada, Light and Love Home, will get disqualified. If that were to happen, it would probably have happened already, i don't think they will do that a couple of days before the end. Also i don't see why they should get disqualified. And the distance to them is too large to catch up. What i'm saying here is only about the numbers, not about what charity i like better. But in the end we will only be able to succeed with either of the two options, if either a large pecentage of WPI voters help out or if there will be a large number of new voters (which seems rather unlikely).

If the love and home vancouver are going to use their winnings locally in Vancouver - the ones in other countries have no idea of it. Look to the bottom of the page where you will see the link to vote

It gets harder every day to decide. What we really need is more voters.

Overall rankings:
The CURED Foundation (7th place) is gaining on the WPI. The Lindsay Foundation (8th place) is not far behind the CURED Foundation.
WPI--63,810
CURED--62,812
Lindsay--62,490

Perhaps CURED and Lindsay are vying for 2nd place in case there is a disqualification of the Angelman Syndrome group which is in 1st place in the Central Region and in 1st place overall with 178,669 votes.

A disqualification doesn't need to occur for 2nd place there to be worthwhile - if Angelman win overall, then second place in that region gets $100,000.

You are absolutely right. What was I thinking! Thanks. And there will certainly be keen competition between CURED and Lindsay for 2nd place in the Central Region, and the WPI could fall down to 8th place in the overall. That probably isn't a problem unless Vivint should decide to do something special for the top 6. (There are 3 Eastern charities currently in the top six which prob. won't win a prize unless they should win the Wildcard Drawing. Vivint might do something for them, at least.)

 

[Francelle]

Now we don't know what the scores are as they are blinded for all the groups. This is going to make it all the more impossible to know which group to vote for.

 

[eric_s]

Yes, as if we needed more suspense... Well, i think at least this is something that favours the WPI as the leader, because the other groups know they were far behind and if they don't even have an idea where they stand and how much progress they are making, i doubt it will be possible for them to motivate many people to vote. Who will believe it's possible to get 10'000 daily votes, if they never got higher than 1000 or so on a regular basis. I doubt they will be able to mobilize so many people like that. On the other hand it might help them, if they don't tell people how big the gap is, and if they only tell them it's enough if every fan casts his vote.

Either way, i think we just have to keep up our level of voting and then things should be fine. I will either vote IACFS/ME or WPI, but to be honest, i think the chance for the IACFS/ME to get into the drawing and for ME/FM to get to first place is more or less over.

 

[eric_s]

Hehehe, after reading the crap they printed in the UK media again, why not send a mass email to Simon Wessely and partners in crime, asking them to please vote for the IACFS/ME or the WPI? That would be a fun mail to send to them for a change.

 

[SpecialK82]

Well, I guess this is my last posting of daily stat figures...... sniff........(ok not really

My analysis of the situation:

- It Gets Better has completely fallen apart, with 7 days left they would have to get 7882/day to catch up

- IACFS is struggling and needs 3882 to get to 5000, 555/day

- National ME/FM is slightly gaining on 2nd place St John Hospital every day as St J has been averaging under 100, ME/FM needs 3372 to tie St John (this assumes St John get 83/day for the remaining days which is their last 7-day average)

Now - we could use this vote blinding to our advantage. We could all vote National ME/FM and St J wouldn't see us coming. We would need 482/day to catch up (less than IACFS needs now). We would need to get many new voters because I don't think WPI will throw them any support at the end since they can't see their rankings anymore.

I know, it's much easier said then done - but I will start voting ME/FM for what it's worth.

Thanks for posting the stats, Special K. But why do you think a second place will be enough for ME/FM? I honestly think either a disqualification or a prize for 2nd place are rather unlikely. I have given my vote to the WPI today and i think that's how i will keep it until the end of the contest. I don't see too much of a chance for the others anymore and want to try to make sure the WPI gets the prize. From what we've seen in the past days i'm not worried about the competition too much, but it makes me a bit nervous to not be able to see how they move.

 

[eric_s]

Ok, i just read somebody's message that Light and Love Home seem to say they don't have any administrative costs, while they have declared such costs of 30'000$ or so to the revenue authorities. I haven't verified this myself, but it could be something serious. On the other hand i guess it's still up to Vivint what they want to do with regards to the contest, even if this information is correct and L&L have either lied to their donors or the authorities.

I'm just going off a guess that L & L could be disqualified because more cheating could be discovered. Also we need less votes to reach our target for ME/FM than IACFS. It's an extreme long-shot I know, I just feel personally that I would be "wasting" a vote for WPI because I personally see them as safe, I realize that others do not and I respect that totally.

I guess I'm going for where I feel my vote might possibly make a difference still.
