Kagami. I find Shana extremely irritating.

[matteas]

Some of Ruby 2 results have left me in despair. Especially the match Saber vs. Mai. Stupid one vote! And also the fact that Kagami is getting more and more votes. We can only hope for a small miracle to happen... If Kagami wins everything, there is no way Rika or Fate can beat her.

3 things made me happy. Kotomi has almost 500, Rika is still in a great form, and Mion has over 400.

[Fynal_Fyre]

Okay, I now hate RL, three more projects to do and I still haven't gone on IRC.

Let me address a few things:

1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MINHTAM, EVEN IF THIS IS LATE. I MUST CONGRATULATE YOU SOMEHOW.

Spoiler for For youse:

2. Kholdstare, what manner of dice game are you humping on with eater?

3. TIME TO VOTE.

Edit: To OceanBlue, heh, I'm relatively sucky at proofreading too, that's why I'll try to help out the Baka-Tsuki community, to gain XP and contribute to a good cause.

[OceanBlue]

Ah, I should have posted a happy birthday image too!
In typical Type-Moon troll manner:

Spoiler for Image:

Ignore the text and the fact that it's probably a Valentine's Day magazine scan. Downscaled, of course.

Don't worry Fynal Fyre, if we combine our bad proofreading together, we have a chance of ending up with a decent proofreading.
Or a horrible proofreading, but, oh well.

[Crisu]

Happy belated birthday, minh-minh-tam-tam.

Yes, this is a very useful visual aid. While there's a red group specifying girls who cannot make Top16 (but are not yet under .500), there will soon be a group who will clinch Top16 before Diamond Period ever starts.

I won't change their colors, but that's what will happen with such a huge gap. Ranks 1-7 will just be changing amongst themselves until one of those girls loses three times. And even then, there are other 3-loss gaps in the Top16. It's rather crazy.

[Game8910]

update to my voting list XD

Spoiler for list:

the grey area is the "characters I dont give a sh!t for" list

[OceanBlue]

I want to make a voting list!
Did you use MSExcel? Is there some standard to it?

[Game8910]

eeeh? yes I used excel, and just make one the way you like it >_>

Actually, I was thinking about Tsukasa's Lover today in class and how I kept convincing him to vote against Kagami. Now I retract that statement. If Kagami fans really want to play strategy, they would pick a match to lose against, fall into the #7 seed, then try to knock off Hinagiku in the first round. Really scary thought if you think about it.

I don't see what that would gain her besides putting Hinagiku into the losers' bracket right away--how does that help?

Assuming the top few continue to win, how soon is that?

If the top 16 keeps shuffling around and beating the crap out of each other so that overtime matches are flying around everywhere, Kyou, Fate, and Tomoyo will have their positions locked by Ruby 7 the earliest. Speaking of those three, two of them (Tomoyo vs. Kyou) will be fighting solely for pride on Ruby 9, assuming that Kagami does defeat Kotomi and that the top 7 don't totally bomb.

I may get Marina to do an ISML double-elimination poster using the top 7 slated to lock themselves in.

[FiREwing]

Top 7? Bomb their matches? Unheard of.

TROLLS? SMART? YOU MUST BE JOKING GOOD SIR.

Also, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGEEEEEEEE AT HOW SHIRLY AND EUPHEMIA GOT MORE VOTES THAN SHANA.

I SHOULD HAVE FRIGGING SHOT SOME OF THOSE FANGIRLS AT KOREA. THANKS FOR TELLING ME SO LATE.

[Trisse]

OK, I’m back... for a week already, but work backlog hit me like a brick. Anyway...

...what a mess.

Kagami with a second necklace... oh my, I can only imagine the outrage. And lately, over 500 votes for her? Is some mysterious group of silent forum readers trying to see how mad can we all get here?
(well, in all honesty I think floods of angry comments can be amusing in a way, but still...)
Mai barely clings to top 16. Losing to Saber BY ONE VOTE... grr, good thing I had no time to post when the results appeared, or there’d be a serious case of angry emotes overuse.
Horo sticks with the top 16. Her beating Nagisa made me smile.
C.C. seems to have recovered, it was good to see her lose to Nanoha by just 11 votes... pity she lost, though.
(Yeah, I know. C.C. is not moe... and the world is flat ).
Rena beats Nagi and steamrolls Tsuruya, which makes two good things in a row.
Kyon’s Sister goes into gray goo. Serves her right.
Yurie keeps losing, I wonder if Eater killed anyone after all (if I remember correctly, he promised to get violent unless she won... anyway, sad for Yurie).

... actually, it’s not that bad after all.


Since I'm back for good, time for:

Spoiler for Ruby 3 votes:

Nanoha v Yuki
Horo v Kyou Hoping for a good vote ratio, at least.
Mai v Nagisa Obvious.
Hinagiku v Saber Easy. Besides, Saber made it on my no-no list for the rest of Ruby.
Shana v Evangeline
Nagi v Maria
Suigintou v Sayuri Very close one.
Rin v Fuko
Kotomi v Louise Kyon's sister down, got to work on Louise now.
Shiori v Nayuki
Rika v Yue.
Rena v Matsuri Kind of painful choice.
Setsuna v Tomoyo
Sakura K. v Teletha Tessa.
Vita v Kagami Surprised you, right?
Chiaki v Konoka Don't really care.
Eruruu v Tsukasa
Mion v Ayu Pity Mion fell into grey zone.
Ayumu v Kyon's Sister Keep sinking...
Nodoka v Sakura Matou
Tamaki v Tsuruya
Fate Testarossa v Shinku
Sakura-hime v C.C. C.C. all the way, though I don't really like her new avatar. Doesn't look like her. Does she ever make such a face?
Aruruu v Haruhi
Souseiseki v Konata
Kiri v Tamao
Yuno v Ryou
Eri v Tamaki Kousaka
Hanyuu v Chikaru
Suiseiseki v Touka
Alice v Konomi
Yurie v Mikuru Special case stays in effect, though Yurie seems a lost cause. Apparently some people think 0-63 end result will be amusing

It seems you can't trust everything you hear. I assume that the, "The world is a sphere," idea was forced onto me by some unknown government scheme, much like this "World War I" that I keep hearing about.

I love these comparison comments.

Obviously, C.C. must be moe to some extent, otherwise she wouldn't be here and doing well. I just like vocalizing my anti-Code Geass trolling in the same way that everyone else vocalizes their KyoAni hate.

I understand what you mean about the Mai vs. Saber match though. One vote was much too close for someone as moe as Saber. If I raged more, I would feel the exact same way.
No, I'm not serious.
