Read the text on the bottom left. You'll know who is missing and playing the role of Negi.

Liddo-kun · 2008-10-23, 05:11

Ah, I see!

So it's really Hayate, thank you for pointing it out.

lotuspirate · 2008-10-23, 06:16

So now that the block_finals are over, what are we moving on to? (if you get what I mean)

I am supporting Tsukasa and then Fuuko! Too bad they are against each other

I find Tsukasa's texting ability and facial expressions very moe, and Fuuko is #1 in Japan!

mako1138 · 2008-10-23, 06:22

Meh, the code generator doesn't like me anymore ;_;

I'll be happy if either Hina or Kagami wins.

uis · 2008-10-23, 06:28

So for the first time I will vote Tsukasa!!!
Enough with hate vote last year... lol...

Sheba · 2008-10-23, 06:30

Hate and tactical votes were what caused the outcome of last year Saimoe.

Eczema · 2008-10-23, 06:51

I'm watching Higurashi at the moment, and I must say that Rika is very moe. I don't see the problem in her winning. However, other members of the top 8 last year, such as Konata and Shinku, I don't find moe at all.

I don't have a problem with Rika either. However, I know people out there and in the blogsphere who would have liked another one.

uis · 2008-10-23, 07:05

Rika is moe... lol if she not moe...
Konata maybe not moe but she have many supporter... I like her because she great otaku... lol

For Tsukasa... I didnt see her moe... Even half of my friends said she faking her moe...
I didnt understand what they said lol... Anyway she great character...

LazyCanuck · 2008-10-23, 07:06

there was nothing wrong with the two finalists last year as far as i'm concerned since i like both Nagi and Rika, i just think that there are much better characters that should, under normal circumstances, have probably beaten both Rika and Nagi. Case in point look at this year, both finalists were knocked out rather early.

As far as i've been told, all the hate and tactical voting knocked off all the top of the high tier characters and because of that yall ended up with 2 bottom high tier girls, which is nothing terrible but kinda odd to see.

I think your friends were basically telling you that Tsukasa is a moeblob, her only purpose is basically to stand there and look/act cute (i guess, someone who has seen Lucky star should probably correct that if i'm wrong)

Eczema · 2008-10-23, 07:16

In the event of a tie, would both characters progress to the next round like in earlier rounds, or would there be some sort of tiebreaker from now on? Just thinking it would be funny if all 3 Clannad made the final (Tomoyo and Nagisa tie in semis and face Fuuko) ROFL.

It's unlikely. Now, the Clannad girls have one fcking big bull's eye painted on them.

Eczema · 2008-10-23, 07:23

Of course, Tomoyo isn't getting past Kagami. But if another, more tight match (maybe Nagisa Vs Tamaki) were to end in a tie, would they both go through?

Since 2005, i would say. I guess the organized voting started with the formation of two strong faction in the past: Nanoha and Rozen Maiden.

Last year, Rika and Nagi both made it to the final by being the least hated characters.

While i used to dislike the hate and tactical votes in the past when they voted out my favorite characters, i somehow miss the heat and fun it generated.

If i were not wrong, YES. But better check with Ando on this.

Tsukasa moeblob....
Funny... I watch Lucky Star many times....

Maybe my friends think like that... lol...

Eczema · 2008-10-23, 07:41

Awesome if true. Much better than K-Saimoe's tiebreak method.

Heard that rumor but never bothered to confirm it. Mind you I can't care less about Desu (or Yuki), but does find the notorious fake voting stories of hers interesting.

Oh and btw, people who consider the Hiiragi sisters as lolis obviously have never actually watch/read LS, likely based their opinions solely on pictures.

LS opponents seem to get a lot of fake votes, does that mean that LS fans are cheaters? Tsukasa, I would consider loli. She looks loli, doesn't do anything that I saw that makes her any more mature looking or acting that Konatas cousin, other then she is taller. Unless you consider getting raped by a deer to be a sign of non loliness. Clannad and LS will get hate/tactical voted out, and it will come down to Bamboo Blade, and Hinagiku. My hope is for an all Bamboo Blade final.

depends on what theory of fake voting you believe in

I tend to fall in the theory you fake vote a charector that you DONT want to win... you both make the winning party feel more comfortable ("oh I don't have to vote this round.. 'xxx' is ahead by 342 votes, it won't make any difference"), AND you sway those who are neutral to pick up and vote for the (apparent) underdog to help support her ("well i love 'xxx' and 'yyy' ... poor 'yyy' is behind, I'll vote for her" --- been there done that in the past). others may have a different opinion.. but thats how it would work for me... if the fake votes were not super obvious.

but the other theory is possible to... you fake vote for the one you want to win, because people like winners and will support the current winner? ... I dont usually see this AS much with saimoe.. but it could be a valid theory.

edit: now I think BOTH of these theories fail when the fake votes get over 10% or so ... (or whenver its really obvious.. like 300 votes in one hour above what should be there) ... at which point the only theory I have is ... make people vote .. ("oh @#$@#$! who knows who is winning... I've GOT to vote this round")

Eczema · 2008-10-23, 09:53

Logically, I would think that people would fake vote for who they want to win, in an attempt that one of the fake codes turns out to be the same as a real code that was issued, and therefore get another vote for their character. I think most people now know not to take interim vote counters as a true indicator of voting patterns.

But it is the other way around. Stuff the rival with fake votes to win casual undecided pity votes.
