Sheesh! Looks like their underhanded tactics may actually pay off. They are again well ahead of us. Appears they now have a good handful of folks who stay up all night to punch those thousands of absentee votes in as they manage to catch us pretty well every night now.   ???

Still got a fighting chance for Honesty and Real Fishing to persevere, but it's gonna take a LOT of help at this juncture.

Unfortunately in my case work (fishing for a living that is) has once again reared it's head. I am off to the Briney today, so won't be able to bump this up for the balance of the Contest. About 6 days and change left to go now, but I will be away for all of that and perhaps a tad more.   :'(

I hope someone here will step up to the plate and remind the Folks here and elsewhere to vote. To vote every 12 hours, and to get as many others online with that as you can Please!  ;)

I'll be mightily embarrassed should I get back from Fishing only to discover that some little back-water in OnTerrible has stolen the Title from the Best Fishing Province there is! If that happens I guess I might find some consolation in the fact that at least we gave them a good run, and did so by Playing Fair. Ummm... Nope, simply can't stand the thought of being whupped by them or their tactics...  ::)

Please folks, stay on top of this one, and bring the Fishing title home to BC!  ;D

Catch ya'll on the flipside...  

Cheers & Thanks,
Nog

Final bump from me Folks,

Currently our competition passes us right by well before 9:00 am each morning. Should that occur on the Final Day, we are Goners:'(
So, I leave this in your capable hands now Folks.  ;)
I've run with the ball a long ways, but now have to pass it along. Hope we pull it off!!  ;D 

Go BC GO!!

Cheers,

I believe that the final deadline is 9:00 AM on September 28, 2010.  

The Ontario town has timed it to get the bulk of their votes in before 9am each day to pass PA.  The PA votes then come in after 9am to pass Ontario.

So everybody will need to squeeze their votes in earlier before the final deadline (BEFORE 9AM).

I was born in Port Alberni and I would like to see PA win.  I'll do my share of the voting, including family and friends.

But the rules/setup of this contest is plain stupid.  Anybody could just pick-up an an email address book and just put in votes.

Next time, they should just make people register and only allow them to vote once.

They DO have a mechanism in place to validate addresses. in the first round, Dauphin was caught cheating by doing just what you posted. Ended up losing several thousand votes, and told if they did it again they would get the boot.

We don't need to cheat Folks! Just keep the votes rolling in and get all your buddies to do the same! Honesty will Rule methinks!  ;)

By the way Nestor Falls is going, they will pass us in less than an hour, they are gaining on us an average of 6 votes a minute.
WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

As of 9am this morning, Port Alberni was in second place trailing by 401 votes.

The pattern is pretty clear.  If we all keep voting exactly the same way as the last 5 or 6 days, we will not win on September 28 at 9AM.

All the dedicated voters out there are only just keeping PA in the race.  If British Columbia wants one of our own to win, we need to work just a little bit more.

1.  Every voter needs to get new voters into the game.  If 50 of us can get 10 new voters/email addresses into the game we could win this thing.  GETTING NEW VOTERS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN.

2.  Every voter still needs to vote every 12 hours.  Voting existing votes only allows us to keep pace, not win in the end.

3.  Keep in mind that the deadline is 9 AM SEPTEMBER 28.  The finish line is the most important thing.  Keep your voting early so that it will count.
 

I am voting my family/friend's email and I have asked them to contact their network of friends to contribute.  If any of you have twitter or facebook, this is the time to recruit.  We need ADDITIONAL NEW VOTERS to win this thing.

Does anybody here work for or have a pal at a B.C. fishing tackle shop?  See if you can get the shop to email to their customers to help B.C. win.
