It's a game here's what you do:

once each hour you get to vote 2 ratings points.  Your votes determine the in game Adult Swim schedule.

So this is a "what if the Adult Swim Message Board fans programmed the block?" type deal.

Voting:  each hour you may vote 2 ratings points toward the shows or movies of your choice.

You may vote your 2 ratings points only in certain combinations, you can't cast them for the same show (IE you can't vote a single show "+2" or "-2", it has to be two separate shows.  Your post must contain at least one "+" vote, and at least one vote for a show currently schedulable on the block (see the list at the end of the post).

You may also vote for non-Adult Swim shows as "acquisitions".  When an "Acquisition" reaches 100 votes, it is considered acquired and then is in the running to appear on the game schedule grid.

You may also vote for the block to expand, for each 100 votes for block expansion, the block will encrouch an extra hour into primetime, then daytime.

Voting examples:
acceptable votes:
+1 Boondocks, -1 Lewis Lectures.
+1 Frisky Dingo, +1 to acquire Archer
+1 to acquire Dr Who, -1 star wars the clone wars
+1 PT expansion, -1 Captain Sturdy

unacceptable votes
+2 InuYasha
-2 InuYasha
-1 Bleach, -1 Tim & Eric
+1 to acqire Archer, +1 to acquire Dr Who

Voting Frequency:  You can vote each hour, meaning you can vote once between 6:00PM and 6:59PM, and once between 7:00PM and 7:59 PM etc.  So you can vote, for example at 4:59 PM and again at 5:01 PM.  But you cannot vote at 3:07 PM and again at 3:58 PM.

Votes will be tallied the morning after, or at some point after a round has reached page 5, at which point it will move on to the next folder.

When a show dips far enough below other shows, it will be eliminated from the schedule.

If a show currently not in production reaches "200" it is considered revived, and will be generating new/premiere episodes.

Folder Immunity: The folder in which the traveling game is currently taking place is considered immune from negative votes, also gets a + vote for hosting.

Previous folder:  Ghost In the Shell Stand Alone Complex
Current Folder/Immunity:  Moribito Guardian Of the Sacred Spirit
Next Folder:  FullMetal Alchemist

Wild Card Rule for Moribito folder:

"Guard the Sacred Spirit".

In your first vote post of the thread, you may declare one of your "+" votes as your "sacred spirit" show.

Your job then is to safeguard that show.  If the show gets more "-" votes than you have added "+" votes to it throughout this round, your sacred spirit will lose points.

If you have managed to add more "+" votes than the total of all "-" votes for the designated show, the show will gain additional points.

As with previous rounds, points will be based on the existing strength of the show in question.  Lower total shows will get more points for being ushered through to the end of the round.  Higher point shows will get only a few points.

Basically:

1.  You pick a show in your first post to be your "sacred spirit" show by voting it a "+" and delcaring it so.

2.  You must counter any "-" votes to that show throughout the thread.  If your show ends up with more "-" votes than you yourself has voted "+" votes to it, it will lose points.

3.  If by the end of the thread, you have personally voted more "+" votes to that show than all other "-" votes for that show in the round combined, you have been successful and your "sacred spirit" show will get extra points.

Points awarded a successful guardianship will range from 1-14 depending upon the starting point value of the show.

If you fail to successfully guard your Sacred Spirit show, it will lose all "+" votes it gained in the thread.

[SwimMod_Luuv]

actually internet  being what it is I should clarify, I didn't mean that as a slam against any particular situation, it could be said of any show that's getting periodic to regular "-" type votes, including InuYasha, Tim & Eric, John K etc.  I just now realized it could be misconstrued maybe.

so just wanted to clarify, it's a generic comment about the game in general

[TheHafk]

Nah. It's cool. I don't sleep and I do have a lot of time on my hands. It's just a minute or two every hour, not a big deal. I'm not offended at all.
