Nothing suprised me yesterday.

Todays votes
Siesta - I like Siesta and Nerine roughly the same, but Siesta was the only reason why I kept watching ZnT season 1, so she gets my vote.

Kanata - Osana-najimi, 'nuff said.

Chisame - The only one that has a chance against the queen of the StoPani legion.

Predict (how come we don't do this anymore? everyone did it last year... their wants and their predictions):
Siesta - Karen might put up a fight, but doubt it.

Konoka - not only the highest # of votes of the three contestants, but THE highest ranking Negima char in the prelims. Of course, Kanata still has a good chance since its LS, but not likely as Konoka is one of the more popular Negima chars

Chikaru - Queen of StoPani, and the one who proved that series mojo is enough to put one very far (StoPani's characters was winning left and right in the tourney proper). Anyone who followed last year's tourney should know she's a force to be reckoned with.

She must get by Chikaru in the next round. If she manages that, then Round 3 is easy. Round 4 should be a match with Konata, or possibly Siesta.

* Stekkin, Cornelia, Tomoe (Rozen), Tsubomi... and Sonoko from Conan I guess. Not a bad group...

Heh, we both voted for Ogata, Cornelia, and Hiro. I agree... the last group is not too shabby. I went with Makiko (Darker Than Black) in Group 26... being cosplayer and otaku won me over.

TnAdct1 · 2007-08-13, 12:25

Today, I'm rooting for Ichijou, Konoka, and Chisame.

As for the Konoka/Kanata showdown:

I feel that today is also an unclean day...

z3phyr.mp3 · 2007-08-13, 12:44

my votes for today:

B-3
-karen... don't really care about his group... but i just liked karen's character in SR, so she's getting my vote...

B-7
-konoka... ojou-sama... playful and mischievous... she's also been getting alot of manga screen time recently...

B-11
-chui... it was hard choosing between chui and chikaru-sama... but with chui being a net idol and always wanting to be top, how can i deny her my vote...

Through Negima!? -- she's given a more assertive role. However, I don't see her getting past C.C.

Aaeru · 2007-08-13, 13:27

Yesterday was 1:2 for results and 2:1 for predictions. I knew I was in trouble when I saw Ayaka and Ellis dominating early, but Yui managed to pull ahead and salvage some of my credibility.

Spoiler for B-03, B-07, B-11 choices:

Vibeke · 2007-08-13, 13:51

And finally, this day

b-3
this is probably the hardest choice for me today: I like both Nerine and Ichijou, and I would like to support one of them with bigger chances - in order to do that I'll wait some time and see who is getting more votes

b-7
Kanata Izumi - a mother of a Legendary Shoujo A

b-11

well, isn't it obvious Chikaru-sama!

You vastly underestimate both Konata and Isumi of HnG.

Oops, forgot about Isumi. Konata vs Isumi is most likely to happen in Round 3. The winner of that matchup should face the winner C.C. vs Chikaru in Round 2.

Aya Reiko · 2007-08-13, 16:21

Current vote totals (inc. fake votes):

B-03
Siesta@Zero no Tsukaima = 210
Ichijou Karen@School Rumble Second Term = 111
Nerine(Rin)@SHUFFLE! MEMORIES = 113

B-07
Konoe Konoka@Negima!? = 237
Izumi Kanata@Lucky Star = 189
Nahashi Lucia@Venus Versus Virus = 81

B-11
Minamoto Chikaru@Strawberry Panic = 234
Hasegawa Chisame@Negima!? = 145
Haruka Armitage@Mai-Otome Zwei = 67

- - - - -

Looks like Siesta and Chikaru are cruising to victory. And Konoka has put some distance between her and Kanata.

Are you using Firefox? I think I had a referrer problem until I set "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to 2 under about:config.

AVPlaya · 2007-08-13, 19:16

I'm sad to report that 2ch did indeed count only 1 vote from the voting proxy. Only the first vote counted; the other ones didn't. I used two days of data to confirm this.

Proxy users, your vote didn't count for the 12th (mine did), and for the 13th, only the person who got a PM saying their vote counted did. The rest if you didn't get a PM from me, your vote didn't count either.

I'm at a loss of what's going to happen next... my first instinct was to shut it down since I don't want to give people the impression that their vote counted when most likely it didn't. I guess I am open to suggestions. If you guys (proxy users) want, I can keep it open for a few more days and we verify if this is indeed the case. If I don't hear much interest in this options, I will probably shut the system down tomorrow.

Basically 2ch throws out all counts made from the same IP; valid code or not. Only the first vote counted. They are really screwed up in this case because that means all uses behind a firewall/proxy will be allowed only 1 vote. They could have easily resolve this issue by issuing cookies, but they were just lazy. I am thinking that a lot of vote got thrown out in this manner.

Again I would like to re-iterate - using a free dialup proxy, if available to you, is probably the ONLY way to defeat the 2ch ban. You will get another IP to place your code and vote, and with a free ISP there's no cost. I grew up in the modem dialup age (I was using SLIP with 2400 baud modems back then) so I may be able to help if you run into some problems. Please do report back if you have success with this route.

I am truly sorry for this turn of event... Wish I could have done more. I will continuing working on a solution though though...

Not One Of Us · 2007-08-13, 20:53

Any way we could make a plea to the operators of 2ch? I know they don't think too highly of us across the Pacific, and I do appreciate that they even let us participate in Saimoe, but for everyone who played by the rules to have their ISPs, some of which are quite major, be completely banned due to a few jerks - it just seems unnecessary.

I was able to vote without any problems last year with my ISP, Cox. I'm not sure what happened between last October and this August, but this is quite an unfortunate situation.

TnAdct1 Honya-kun Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Clinton, Maryland	Today, I'm rooting for Ichijou, Konoka, and Chisame. As for the Konoka/Kanata showdown: Spoiler for B-07: This match will probably be the one to watch today. In Konoka's favor, she's one of the "Big 5" from Negima, and she did receive more votes than Kanata in the prelims (and I haven't even gotten to the shoujo-ai aspect of her). Meanwhile, Kanata does have two things could lead her into victory: 1. Lucky Star mojo; 2. A freeze frame joke in the most recent episode of the series. As for the prospect of Negima fans getting revenge today, this kinda reminds me Saimoe 2005. In that tournament, there were two very close matches in the second round that pitted a Negima rep and a Mai-HiME rep. While the first match ended with Mai-HiME being victorious (as Natsuki beat Evangeline), Negima was able to turn the tables in the second match, with Nodoka beating Haruka. Hence, I won't be suprised if we get a similar result today. __________________ Joseph Klemm My banners at animemusicvideos.org

I knew I was in trouble when I saw Ayaka and Ellis dominating early, but Yui managed to pull ahead and salvage some of my credibility. Spoiler for B-03, B-07, B-11 choices: Um, none... The top two for B-03 are a stalker and someone who's in love with a jerk: two of my least-favorite personality types. I'd vote for Kanata in B-07 but I think it's good enough that she's in round one. For B-11, I'm suffering from lack of familiarity. Well, there's Haruka, who's nice, but she's moe in the same way that Hagrid is. Predictions, on the other hand...someone has to win after all: I believe it's going to be Siesta, Konoka, and Chikaru. and I'm guessing they'll all win handily.
