[KholdStare]

Fixed, thanks.

And it's not an error. It's that gay auto-complete crap from Excel. I need to turn that off.

At least "the message" has been the same for three arena. That means good things.

[Seishi]

Wooooo! Was about freaking time someone broke Tomoyo. Fate <3

[qtipbrit]

What little of the results I saw were amazing. I'll be back in a few minutes with a giant, epic GIF and to read through the rest of the results.

EDIT: Damn, it's 3.5 MB too large for Photobucket as is.
the effect is a lot less if the GIF isn't 1280x720, though.

[Crisu]

Yay, head start. I will appreciate it more next time when I'm actually around on time to take advantage of it. XD ^^;;;

Oh well, so I was a bit late, but I was actually in the middle of retroactively doing other rankings and forgot to look at my inbox. (That other job will be finished soon.)

For now, the rankings after Sapphire 4. I'm sad my dear Kinomoto-chan lost again.

Spoiler for Rank, Rank, Fight the Power:

The T2 loop that caused me much trouble last time is now gone because Ayu and Sakura lost (and left that group). Tomoyo joining Shana and the others actually causes all win-losses to be null. Because everyone loops off of each other, because their only losses are pretty much only to each other. =\ So the Top 6 are ranked by VD only.

Also the loss of loop is why ranks 17-24 jump around so much. Sorry to Suigintou fans, but she's still just as close to the Top 16 as her other rivals in that group.

QTIP: Email me the GIF. I have a paid account and can upload something that big.

[Xellos]

And there was much rejoicing. Huzzah for Fate!

[KholdStare]

Man, it's a sad day when Kagami is second, and almost overtaking first too...

[FlareKnight]

Well great job by Fate to overcome and win her matchup. Always helps when you can win out over someone of that level. Also nice job taking Tamaki home Rena, along with a solid win by Rika-chama.

Nice!

Of course, I don't have your email.

Broken for marriage?

[Ithekro]

So what happened in the 15-21 range that shifted the standings around? There some reason Gin went down in rank on one chart and up on the other? Is it the T2 standing, because wouldn't that have effected that group before?

Yeah, Tiebreaker 2 is creating chaos and confusion right about now.

More like...
It's a sad day when Kagami is second, Kyou is third, Tomoyo is sixth, and Hinagiku isn't in the top 8. I want Rin to trade places with Konata....

Imagine dramatic Hayate no Gotoku!-like gloom on that Tomoyo picture and that's how I feel.

[qtipbrit]

Well, let's get to the results for now.

62.6% #20 Nayuki > #36 Eri Don't care.
62.2% #42 Shiori > #51 Sakura (TC) Nice.

56.9% #52 Sakura (FSN) > #63 Tamaki (TH) lulz.
55.2% #22 Mikuru > #28 Fuko I was actually expecting a Fuko win because Clannad is much more heavily trolled, but either way works.
---
54.3% #30 Suiseiseki > #39 Tessa The low margin means KyoAni troll have picked up on the fact that Tessa is KyoAni? Maybe? Please?

51.4% #31 Yue > #43 Ayumu Meh.
50.8% #23 Maria > #40 Louise Fine either way, but yay for Rie-Tan.

Kind of bittersweet, but I went 22-10, so can't complain, I guess.

Poor little Yurie... I wonder if more than three people have seen this anime? Understandable, I guess, but she really deserves more moe-credit than she gets


I wonder if this'll work... a 5-star AMV done to Eisley's "Brightly Wound"... I just d/ld the version from AMV.org linked from the Youtube page. Give it a try and let's see if we can break her no-win situation. It's really not that funny

One thing that is funny is the "circle-blush"

Since I always get a white box (or nothing) when I try that, here's the link:

[Ithekro]

"Awww, now that's just sad. She needs to get back up and kick someone in the face."

She will. Easily. It took concentrated hate and a horde of lolicons to take her out of number one on her second loss.

Spoiler for melange:

"Broken for marriage?"

With that ass? Never. Someone will marry her.

The Space Opera map will shift now that the inner ring can be refilled.

After Sapphire 3, Ayu's presence (among others) caused T2 loops, which get nullified according to the rules. So certain head-to-head wins and losses weren't counted in that Round's rankings.

Here after Sapphire 4, now that Ayu (and Sakura, too, plus possibly more) aren't in that 15-21 group, the once-nullified wins and losses are reapplied, because no loops exist anymore.

I have an Excel macro that sorts contestants based on T2, and I run it a few times until nothing moves anymore. Only in the case of loops does it keep sorting endlessly.

But all that talk is about cumulative rankings. The Sapphire-specific rankings consider results during only the Sapphire period, so everyone's win/loss history and vote totals are different. This is how Suigintou gains a rank in Sapphire rankings while falling behind a bit in the overall cumulative rankings.

@Ahasuerus: Yeah, AS doesn't allow HTML (for good reason). ^^;

@Ithekro: Well... going by how melange arranges rings, nobody should be in the innermost one since the highest win percentage is still below 95%.

No, there's at least five.

So here's how it's going to work. Kyou needs to beat C.C., and Nayuki by at least 100 less than Nanoha beating Rika and Mai. Is that impossible?
