I just want to remind you that from 8th to 20K currently is about 2K votes. You have to keep in mind how we have gotten Nikki as far as we have with the votes/voting.
Long story short, I haven't been able to vote at all today because my voting cycle got pushed back again yesterday. Since I voted last early this morning...100 votes or so have been cast. I'm sure we all realize there will be a BIG jump by tomorrow morning...BUT, that will only be after I vote again. Those HUGE jumps simply will not be possible after I scale my voting back to a manageable level after we get Nikki to 8th place...and upon 8th place...that is exactly what will need to happen for me. I just can't keep this up to another, higher goal. I tried to set a manageable goal, and it was every bit as much work or more than I anticipated (because of all the pauses in voting the system makes you take). If I could cast all of my votes non-stop...it would be cool. We both know that is not the way the system works sadly.
So, keep everything in perspective, and remember our voting pace will take a HUGE hit after we hit 8th place (unless others take over all of my voting accounts that were created and actually vote religiously)...and it may take you/us another 10-20 days to hit 20K (as opposed to the 3-4 days that it currently takes)...but you/we will hit that mark as well...just not as quickly as in the past.
