Anyone know if there is a way to vote that doesn't involve the need for Flash?
-
shouldn't need it
-
How would I go about voting without the use of Flash? When I try now, it says that Flash is required.
-
Someone tickle this thread once a day so I remember to vote.
-
tickle
since no one else did
-
For whatever reason, it seems to be allowing me to vote more frequently than once every 24 hours. I just asked a friend of mine to attempt to vote again, and he confirmed that it also let him vote again.
Almost seems like it's once every 12 hours.
-
We're in 2nd place out of thousands of entries... a few hundred votes below #1
Keep clicking, people (and bots!!!!)

Hmm...not me...I couldn't even vote last night, had to vote this morning.
-
OK, I was skeptical at first because it said "NASCAR" but I gave it another look today and it looks like we have a chance. Chalk up one more vote per day from me.
-
Were still in the #2 spot, just about 33 votes behind. This is VERY do-able. A lot depends on people clicking EVERY DAY!
-
Fuuuuuuu, ok I'll do it.............. geez. Lets win this thing and hope their car doesnt crash into the wall on the first lap. :lol:
-
I'm voting, but in case, but as I said elsewhere:
Thankfully we are ahead of three of the memorial cars (blech), but behind "I LOVE YOU DAD". According to the rules though, it doesnt matter if this round we end up in first place since the finalists get voted on again by the same popular vote. It looks like the vote is slightly rigged though so that like with the presidential elections, it is the electoral votes by those in charge who will ultimately determine the winners. Oh and the one currently in first is also a memorial car
But hey, by keeping it as one of the forerunners all the groups of people voting for the other cars will also see the FSP car.

Whatever was going on when I wrote this doesn't seem to be going on now. I haven't discussed it with my friend, but it does seem to be limiting me to 1 vote every 24 hours now. If I am not mistaken, the gap between the first place car, and the FSP car, is growing.
-

Perhaps slightly. It is at about 400 now. It seems as though the 3rd place and back runners up arent even close to catching up and their totals havent been rising at all. Perhaps they started the competition sooner?
-
I tried some google searches to see if I could track down the origins of the other cars but they must not be talking about them on forums or anything from what I can see.
Edit: Yeah, so guy who the first car is in memory of used to be in a NASCAR pit crew. That explains the votes.
-
Ok so I reread some of the rules much closer and it appears that all of the lead cars violate the rules except maybe the 9-11 car. :? You cant push a political agenda or message, cant use any likeness or name, and if you are related to someone or live in the same place as someone in NASCAR you cant even participate anyway, etc. which probably disqualifies all of the votes of the competition....
Rules suck.
-
@anarchir -- Toyota has to approve each design before it's allowed into the competition. The FSPNASCAR design was actually denied multiple times before they let it in (they didn't like "freestateproject.org" being on the car, which is why it just says "Free State Project" everywhere now :roll:). And the Free State Project isn't really a "political" organization ... it's quite vocal about the fact that its only purpose is to get a certain type of person to move to New Hampshire. So, technically, the FSP is not an overtly political organization, and I suspect that's why they allowed us to compete in the first place.
Regardless of whether or not we get disqualified in the next phase of the competition, the amount of people that will see the design leading up to that point could be huge ... if we keep it in a place where it's easy to see (atop the leaderboard). Toyota is already actively advertising this contest during NASCAR telecasts, and there are already over twelve thousand entries after nine days. It's not unrealistic to think that hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, will go to the site before the top ten are announced in early April ... and see the Free State Project near (ideally IN) the lead.
So regardless of whether or not we win ... or even make it to the next round ... the payoff could be huge. We can only control what we control, and we control whether or not we maximize our vote. Focus on that and don't worry about the other stuff.
KEEP VOTING and KEEP PUSHING.
-
Thanks for the good news! I did not know that they accepted us. BUMP! Vote daily, and get others to vote as well.
-
BUMP, we are still not in the lead dammit!
-
Bump :D we're getting close!
-

Cool video. I threw in another vote last night. FSP car was 71 votes in the lead. Here's hoping we all get to see the black and yellow roaring around the track. Hopefully one of the free to air digital channels broadcasts it here so if all goes as we hope I'll get to see it live too.
-
BUMP! Voted again.
-
And the Fsp car takes the lead!

So far ahead, keep going!

I deal with a company with a tech field support center that has between 15-25 tech guys in the office on any given day. Sent an email to the manager who I know pretty well and asked him to spam this to tier 1 (the guys that do the support). Told him I'd buy the whole office pizza if they click this button everyday. They agreed. Little do they know I was gonna buy them lunch anyway. :lol: They all "promised" to do it every day.

FSP car - 6518
Love you dad - 5459
State Police - 1728
Kicking ass! My guess is the bastards will go for a support the troops one/USMC or some other statist shite. The porcupine on the hood is just pure awesomeness. Just imagine all the down home beer swilling chicken wing eatin types who would see this, hell, it may spark a revolution. Who's going to end up driving it? Ricky Bobby?

Last day! If you haven't voted yet, please throw one in. http://fspnascar.com

You know what is going to happen.
The FSP car will win, someone will complain it broke the rules.
The second place car will be declared victor by default.

Most of the top ten are breaking the rules. I checked personally. You cant use other peoples names or likenesses without their permission (living or dead), so all the memorial ones are out. You cant represent an organization (FSP, the police, the military, etc). But, apparently the judges already decided that we are OK with regards to the rules, and thus we compete.
-
I think I have a straight take. Libertarian types are so used to being screwed in elections and what not that we expect to get screwed.
Voting's closed. Now what happens?
-
I just realized that each design has 15 days to get as many votes as it can. There are 14 days left in this contest. Anyone know if there is another FSP one to focus on now? I hope the 2nd place car has also ran out of time, but it seems like they've gained a bit since yesterday.
I will attempt to find another FSP car, and if I do, I will post a link here. Maybe we can get two in the top 10.

Yeah thats how it is apparently, but I read the rules and didnt realize it worked that way. If we could get another car up there starting today, we have plenty of time and our first victory should give us some momentum.

I wouldn't assume victory, as there could be cars that haven't even been entered yet which would conceivably have enough time to beat the FSP car.
-
I think the 2nd placed car is out of time too now.
-
FSP car lost the lead.

I cant get the FSP Nascar thing to load at all today. Also, my fucking computer wont recognize my microphone. I'm about ready to toss this piece of junk out the window. Its seriously making me angry.

How the hell did lyme disease awarness get so many votes?

Sorry to hear that. Yeh computers are ace at pissing a person off. My bloody desktop wont recognise a video capture device I bought and it just decides to jump off the network at random intervals. It is old though so I kind of forgive it.
All cars in the top 5 are out of time for voting except the Lyme Disease Awareness car which is first and has 9335 votes and 4 days left to be voted on. The Free State Project car got 6891 and is still second. Then Chelsea's Hope 3rd with 6749. Then the Love You Dad car.
At least the statist and "patriotic" cars are out of the top 5. The State Police one is 12th now.
-
How the hell did lyme disease awarness get so many votes?
Yeh thats what I'm wondering too. It was only just in front of the FSP car when I had a quick look this morning before work.

Winning this next round is going to be tough then. I'm thinking bribery, computer labs, and to figure out how Lymes disease got so far ahead so we can mimic their process. They have to have some trick up their sleeve to rise that fast.
-
We might be fucked, it looks like they have the whole medical community on their side: http://spedr.com/4g9xd
Also, this was their second year in the race, last year they were up to 14th at one time and apparently quite easily: http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/lyme-disease-support-forums/general-support/1317193-lyme-car-in-nascar
Fffffffffff they have a lot of support.
-
So does the FSP advertise on Alex Jones? If they do, then I'm thinking it merits some push from him.

Just "liked" the car. Not really sure what that's all about, but they're keeping track, so I "liked".

The FSP was never qualified to participant in this competition. Some of us knew that a long time ago but didn't stop the parade because it was still useful as a way to promote the FSP and at least I thought that there was a slight chance that the organizers may make an exception to several of the rules for the FSP car. Thanks for liking the car but the FSP car was excluded from the final top 10 because it didn't qualify.
At this point, I don't see any use it continuing to promote this as it does appear as the FSP can get any further free publicity from this and the organizers have made it very clear that the FSP car doesn't qualify.
-
9/11, Spay and Neuter, and Lyme Disease are qualify though?

Certainly, a 9/11 car would not qualify. A 911 car did qualify, though. Perhaps you want to look at the rules. I read them weeks ago.
I guess in theory liking the FSP car can help.

Oh bullshit. Dont act like you knew any better than anyone else. We were specifcially told by the organization that we qualified then after they got plenty of advertising from our voting efforts they retracted the offer on their end. Bull fucking shit. We were ripped off.

I can tell you are angry. Maybe take a few deep breaths. I'm not acting like I knew anything that other people didn't know. Heck, it was pointed out on a forum that the FSP car didn't qualify. I read the rules and saw that the design violated several of the rules, confirming what the person posted weeks ago.
It was a good run and I'm glad for all of the free advertising the FSP got out of it. I'm very happy about the time I spent promoting and voting.

Lyme Disease Awareness and Spay and Neuter aren't promoting politics. I have no idea of the FSP car, a 9/11 car or a Spay and Neuter car being finalist. Really, I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you sure you clicked on the website I gave you?
-
I don't think the FSP car was going to knock off the Lyme Disease car anyway. The Lyme Disease car got more than double the votes than the FSP car and more than triple the votes of most of the cars in the final round. At least the FSP got a little mileage out of this. Definitely worth it.

Of course they are political. Implicit in the messages is that the solution is for government to spend more of your money. FSP isn't necessarily political. Many signatories, such as I, are apolitical.
Yeah, that's where those cars were.

Oh, I guess things chance. And I remember Bob Barker talking about individual people taking care of their pets for years. That's real the extend of my exposure to those type of activists, it was all about the government not getting involved. Maybe your experiences have been different.

When I lived in California, I recall state pressure...IIRC, licenses were cheaper for fixed animals and if you got it from a pound, they were all fixed.
