Are You Kidding Me?
Wow! All I can say is wow. There was no shuffle up in this round like there was in all the previous rounds. That's just weird. Why not? And I will not comment any further because I truly believe I will say something completely un-PC. Unbelievable!!
Thank you to all the voters that supported the Seats @ Meets cause.

Comments:
Dec.16 at noon - Wild numbers of votes logged for groups ending up in places 6 thru 11. Can't wait to see the shake-up! The "Raise a Hand" group ended in 6th place, up from 11th earlier today...ya, right!
Dec.16 at 6am - There's been some crazy stuff going on over the last couple of days. The "Raise a Hand" group has obviously joined some kind of an auto-bot vote website because in 2 days they've amassed 9600 votes, taking them from 28th place to 11th as I write this. I suppose you can't blame them...they were out of the running anyway. I wonder if they think Aviva won't notice. And like I mentioned yesterday, there have been some others whose placements have jumped up considerably in the last few days. Maybe it's the extra 3 votes everyone had that's made the difference...who knows. Just keep voting they way you've always been voting. It's not over yet!
Dec.15 at 6am - 15th place. There was very little vote removal last night, from the same groups as always. I'll be interested to see the final shake-up since there's a few groups whose placements have changed quite dramatically in the last day or two. The top 6 have been consistent for days now. 7th thru 12th...lots of shuffling going on. Makes me wonder what they're doing to have recruited so many new voters in a 24 hour period. I'm just sayin'....
Dec.14 at 6am - 15th place. Ditto to everything I've said below. Let's aim for over 1000 votes today.
Dec.13 at 6am - 16th place. Four days left, including today, to vote. Ignore our placement at the moment. The final vote calculations have never ceased to surprise in any of the previous rounds. This one will be the same. I hate to be cliche right now but it's not over 'til it's over. The most important thing right now is to keep voting...right to the bitter end.
Dec.12 at 6am - 16th place. And the not so good news...we had votes removed last night. Only 22 that I can tell but then I really don't know what goes on in the 7 hours I'm sleeping. Compared to the other groups that have consistently had votes removed, up to as many as 1200+ last night, this is minor. But still, we need all our votes to count. All I can say is keep voting. Keep asking people to join us (I've recruited 4 new voters in the last week). And keep it legal. Duplicate passwords, 10 Minute mail, Guerrilla Mail, excessive numbers of votes from the same IP address...all questionable and probably illegal. Stay away from it.
Dec.11 at 6am - Back up to 14th place after votes were removed overnight. Again, Seats@Meets number did not decease overnight. I'm thinking Christmas shopping has taken the voters away from voting all across the country. Daily vote tallies were lower for 25 of the 30 groups. The other 5 groups...3 of the 5 had votes removed overnight. Our rival track group was one of those unlucky 3. Only 6 days left to vote.
Dec.10 at 6am - Sitting in 15th place. Everyone got a free pass last night or maybe the groups getting votes removed have finally changed their ways. It's simple, if we vote on Saturday and Sunday like we did on Tuesday (Dec6) we can overtake several groups. This is our chance to make a move...when some of the other groups are lax on their weekend votes. Please remember to vote this weekend.
Dec.9 at 6am - Again, sitting in 12th after vote removals from the same groups.Where are the other 150+ voters from Dec.6? Please come back! The dreaded weekend is just around the corner. Please help to remind each other to vote today and through the weekend. Keep voting. Keep it legal and there will be no surprises like there was last night for the group that's sitting in 30th at the moment...they were in 6th last night at last check!
Dec.8 at 6am - Sitting in 12th place after the votes were removed from the same groups again overnight. We can't rely on votes being removed from other groups to win. We have to win this by voting like the leading groups. The top 4 groups right now haven't had any votes removed overnight. The top 10 groups are logging daily votes of 1000-2900. We need to be in that range to make top 10.
Dec.7 at 6am - The same groups that had votes removed yesterday had votes removed again, from as little as 68 to as high as 571. Seats@Meets' number was not smaller, which is good, but it was only 3 votes larger than at 11pm. I'm hoping that means that absolutely everyone, except for the 3, voted before 11pm. Good work voters! Keep 'em rolling in again today. Keep it legal.
Dec.6 at 6am - The morning vote tallies are always interesting to me. Aviva is watching for the suspicious votes right from the get-go this round. Votes were removed from 7 of the top 18 groups overnight, ranging from about 50 to as many as 720. That's almost as many votes as we logged in the whole first day! Seats@Meets was not in the group whose numbers were lower in the morning. Keep up the good work. Keep recruiting. Keep it legal.

Vote Like a Maniac
Some very impressive teamwork happened the last 4 days of Round 3. Something changed on Sunday and the votes just kept pouring in. I recorded that there was over 470 votes...on Sunday! That's a great number for a Sunday at 165 more votes than the Sunday before. And then Miraculous Monday happened...about 680 votes! Well done everyone and a big shout out of THANKS to all the voters supporting this great idea. Now let's see at least 680+ votes for 12 days in a row.
To guarantee a win we need to see the number of votes grow each and every day as we gain new recruits. And we MUST vote on the weekends too! There's only one Saturday and one Sunday during this round of voting. PLEASE make those weekend votes...Please!!
It's not too late to find more recruits to help vote us into the Top 10. Please encourage everyone you know, again, to join us in this last push for the $150,000. We cannot leave this just to our Facebook and Twitter friends...we need the support from the immediate community as well. Our social network supporters will follow what our local supporters do. Everybody's grandmother needs to be voting for this! Grandpas too!!
There are some fierce competitors in this upcoming Semi-Final Round. For example, one of our strongest competitors is Trenton High School. They made it to the Semi-Finals in the First Round of voting. They are looking for money for a new track. You may also recognise them as one of the Finalists from the Friday Night Feats competition. Based on the votes they were logging each day in that contest...they finished with over 13,000 votes...it tells me they have lots of supporters and you can bet they will be voting like mad in this last round of the Aviva contest. Let's give 'em a run for their money...pun intended! There are 29 other groups in our category, some of them logging very large numbers per day.
There is no room for forgotten votes in this round.
Remember, there's a lot of wild and crazy things going on out there with some groups doing anything and everything, be it legal or not, to try and get their group to the Top 10. See the previous post A Level Playing Field? as a reminder. We cannot leave our fate in the hands of anyone else. We need to take responsibility for this to win it. Keep voting and keep it legal!
We all know what to do come Monday December 5th. There is one small change in this Semi-Final Round though. These instructions are directly from the Aviva website:
I have enjoyed this journey with you. Let's finish it with gusto!
Sincerely,
Marilynn

We all know what to do come Monday December 5th. There is one small change in this Semi-Final Round though. These instructions are directly from the Aviva website:
The semi-final voting round lasts only 12 days, from Dec. 5-16. Just like previous rounds, you will have 15 votes to use. However, you can still only vote for the same idea once per day (or 12 times). We encourage you to use your remaining votes towards other ideas, or, at the end of the round, you can choose to leave them unused.I would like to ask a favour for those 3 extra votes that you cannot give to Seats @ Meets. As I have mentioned, I live in Burlington and there is a very worthy idea here that I would have voted for if it were not for Seats @ Meets being my focus. Please check out this link http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf11368 and if you feel you would like to give your support to the Take a Seat Campaign at Burlington Central High School, I would be greatly appreciative, as I'm sure they would be too. They are in the Medium Category so they are not competing against Seats @ Meets. Keep your votes going to make the backsides of Ontarians more comfortable...in Brockville and Burlington.
I have enjoyed this journey with you. Let's finish it with gusto!
Sincerely,
Marilynn
