Last day of voting

Well, I guess it is finally over. My obsession with resurrecting FRWB can ironically be laid to rest. I appreciate everyone who tried to make my dream become a reality. I want to think my friends and family who were so supportive during this difficult time. I am sorry to see that the results weren't better. I would like to think I did everything I could, but in my heart I know I didn't. I am embarrassed that I slacked off in my efforts. Know this, if I ever have this opportunity again, I will work even harder to make sure I succeed. I will pay for billboards in major cities, advertise in national newspapers, radio stations, and TV, maybe I'll even get the Goodyear blimp. I guess for now this is the end. This blog is dead.

Things keep changing...

I personally have been confused about why Ben and Jerry's keeps changing things, so I emailed them to see what they had to say:

"I am confused about the way the flavor resurrect contest works. Why do the numbers reset every day? How is it possible to tell who is winning? How does the flavor win? Is it based on total leading days, or cumulative votes? Thanks!"

Their response:

"Micah,We've had problems with people hacking into the system to make their flavor #1. So from here on out we're only going to show votes for one day at a time. When you vote today, you will only see the votes that have gone in today. We'll know which flavor is winning on our end though, and we'll reveal that flavor at the end of the month. The end result of the contest will be based on accurate and fair reporting of individual votes.Thanks for understanding.Ben & Jerry's"

I thought that was a decent answer, however since then things have once again changed. Now it seems that they are only showing the results for the previous day. I am not sure how this prevents inappropriate voting, but I guess they have their reasons.

Everyone please keep up the good work. Thanks!

Disappointing start

Well, I have to say that the first day of voting has been somewhat disappointing. While, FRWB is not dead last, it is certainly trailing by a wide margin. I was with some friends tonight, and I took the opportunity to solicit some votes (You guys better not let me down). Also, I don't get how Holy Cannoli has such a tremendous lead over all the other flavors. I hoped Ben and Jerry's had taken steps to ensure accurate voting since the insane nomination process. However, it doesn't look like anything has changed. Well, everyone that comes here, please comment and let me know you are willing to lend your support. I need something to give me hope.

Thanks!
