People have their reasons for abstaining and they're all valid; I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to impose my own views on them
Besides, the makers of ISML have always HAD the "abstain" feature, so it's there for a reason, but some people just take it to extremes. It just looks lazy to me LOL Besides, surely ONE girl you can hate less than another, jeez. I just have always wanted to see a true and honest contest where the most moe girl can be chosen, not this stupid overcomplicated strategizing and hate-voting reactionary shit that pretty much ensures that that won't happen. Only the most popular girls win, and that's lame. Or at least, it's not moe. Which is kinda the point of the whole thing. I think. But I like supporting KholdStare, Crisu, minhtam and the many others who put this contest together through the years and work hard at it, so what the hell "I'll play with you as much as you want" (if I paraphrased Rika right )

ARENA 03: [Shinonono Hōki] Tōsaka Rin (Onto next one) ARENA 04: Nagato Yuki [Louise Vallière] (Blame Kugimiya disease...) ARENA 05: [Nakano Azusa] Index L. Prohibitorum (Azusa is just MUCH more moe than Index...) ARENA 06: Fujibayashi Kyō [Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko)] (Kyou is Tier 3, Kuroneko is Tier 1 on my rating...) ARENA 07: Suzumiya Haruhi [Abstained] C.C. (I hate both...CC not even worth my continuing anti-Haruhi vote) ARENA 08: [Senjōgahara Hitagi] Kasugano Sora (Easy...)

ARENA 14: [Sakagami Tomoyo] Shiina (About to abstained, but at the end, at least Tomoyo deserved my vote) ARENA 15: [Tachibana Kanade] Laura Bodewig (Perhaps the only match that I may go against my waifu is Kanade v.

ARENA 20: Saber [Aragaki Ayase] (No fan of Saber, and fan of Ayase = don't even worth my time typing my reasoning) ARENA 21: Konjiki no Yami [Furukawa Nagisa] (Onto next arena...) ARENA 22: [Shana] Izumi Konata (This is not easy vote...well, on the other hand, it's hard to go against Kugyuuuuuuuuuuuuuu) ARENA 23: Kotobuki Tsumugi [Hirasawa Yui] (Battle of K-On, and the #3 girl easily win over the #4) ARENA 24: Seraphim [Katsura Hinagiku] (Easy...) ARENA 25: [Shiina Mafuyu] Nakamura Yuri (Technically the toughest decision of all, but on the bigger picture, it doesn't matter that much...)

It's even tougher when you DO like 70% Yet, I almost always finish with ~30 seconds left on the timer; if voters have that much time left on the clock they might use it to go back and re-think some abstentions, since they can't register their vote until the "0" appears I am dreading like hell the inevitable Tenshi v Kuroneko match tho... but I'll man up and choose one of them. Probably Tenshi 'cos she doesn't have that anti-moe glower and bad attitude that Ruri has LOL I just hate to abstain; I think I did it on my first match and never did again (and I've voted 99% of all ISML matches

I set aside at least 5 minutes for ISML voting and really try to choose based on which girl is more moe than another, so that takes a little time. MOE IS SERIOUS BUISNESS AMIRITE? So I just plop each cute li'l thing into a (like) balance-beam scale, and whoever weighs the most Moe gets my vote I never try to calculate based on who's more popular or who might get the most votes; it just goes against all that I believe a moe contest should be LOL. Counter to all moe contests, apparently But as long as voters have fun, that's the bottom line for me 'Course, when it's one girl I adore against one I don't, the choice is easy BUT... it's really hard for me to "hate" any one girl; I guess the one I've voted against most often is poor C.C. whom I really do like, she's just not that moe to me (though she was very much so in like 2 episodes, IIRC. So conversely, I'd really vote for her when up against newer "upstarts" like the IS girls. I try to be open-minded and honest about moe quality. For instance, Fate is a good example. Through all the Nanoha seasons I was like "I don't get what people see in her; she doesn't do it for me" and it rankled me to see all the rabid support she had here (aside from her awesome cuteness -which nearly EVERY anime girl has). I just chalked it up to "popularity/peer pressure" LOL BUT... when I saw the Nanoha movie, the whole ballgame changed. Dunno why but her backstory really got to me with that, and now I see that she *needs* my support, which I gladly give now to make up for past slights. Backstory lends a LOT of moe-ness to me, that's probably got a lot to do with it, and why girls who seem shallow don't move me as much. Anyway, sorry for tl;dr

I think that likability is a valid quality of moe since a major part of that appeal has a lot to do with that feeling of moe. I think LOL For me, as an example, two girls I like a WHOLE lot, Revy from Black Lagoon and Ryougi Shiki, aren't moe at all aside from fleeting moments. I've hardly ever voted for Shiki, although she's one of my all-time fave characters. Revy would just shoot me if I told her that Tomoya and Kyou though, I don't like as much as other girls (a bit too tsun) but I am able to feel their moe in certain scenes. And that makes me like them more I do like them quite a lot already though
