Same here. I don't really trust stuff like that, and I have enough just keeping track of Japan's.

You clicked 'browse' and found an image on your computer, then clicked submit? If you don't see the image, it's because they're randomly generated throughout the boards, so you will have to refresh the page and search all of the comments to find it.

Back then the thread got closed because of the image spamming, but in truth, I think we were all having a lot of fun doing that.

I still remember how everyone snapped every time Rena's turn came up.

USODA!!!

(For old time's sake)

[DragoonKain3]

Pfft. Last year's saimoe was da bomb. Image spammi... oops I mean support materials everywhere. It was after all, in the spirit of saimoe since the tourney organizers themselves suggests one not only posts their own support materials, but also read others. In other words, they support 'campaigning'.

Too bad the mods didn't like it. So it's either what we have right now, or none at all. >_>

I have experienced over a thousand worlds.
Unaware of death,
Nor aware of change.
Withstood hopelessness to roll many die.
Yet, these hands will never change anything.
So as I pray, "Unlimited Watanagashi Works"

That's pretty awesome. They should set this up so that poets from both sides can do battle with haiku to determine the victor.

Now I need to dig up the Eri/Hige-bottled water image made from that chapter.

[niwasatou]

Aaah, yes. The good ol' first Saimoe 06 thread. How nostalgic...
Oh, and if you see a desperate, apologetic vote for both Nono and Rika.. that was me.. because I saw episode 13 again with subs today.

Hmmm. This is getting beyond my ability to address this. My last guess is that you might have ran into size restriction, or accidentally pressed the post button, as my experience tells me that the Moe Comment registry doesn't seem to replace your old post with new one. If these are not the reason, please give me little more detail and I will forward it to the system administrator, or you could contact Eundong yourself. His email address is

dh1024@gmail.com

He seems to be comfortable in reading English so I guess you could directly state the technical problems with him. Anyway, thank you for all your interest in Korean Best Moe Tournament. Your group's activity has opened many Korean eyes to the international anime community and I believe that is a very positive development.

MAI LOST!!! NOOOO!!!
Recalling all the times I lost a character I felt strongly for, I felt misery. However, this time, there is a faint hint of anger flowing in my veins. The moment I discovered that the S&M loli won by a mere 2 votes margin, I was THIS close to backing the results page on my computer screen to oblivion. Mai was exceedingly important to me and now, someone I find more infuriating than moe whips out a victory. This is one of the worst things that could happen to me, notwithstanding that recent Epic Match. Those people who burdened Mai with all those fake votes—they certainly have my feeling of pure bitterness.
This victory, I cannot and refuse to accept.
For fans of the violent one with the indescribable temper, it’s a sunny day for you. Be pleased and thrilled. Meanwhile, I’ll just watch the Mai arc again so I can share the sword dancer's anguish. ;_;

Agreed. She's moe in more ways than one. Following the heartrending elimination of Mai Kawasumi, I will have no reason to possess second thoughts in regards to voting for someone other than Suigintou in Block H. Yet, that is simply my perspective, nothing more.

Exactly. Rather than having a particular character being bought down to her knees before the match even began, or even being beaten as a final result by a reasonable margin . . .
What hurts most is having the character doing so well, only to be beaten by that "microscopic bit of a vote" at the end. Something like that just makes you feel very . . . I don't know . . . disturbed.

Anti-Key is a sad thing. At first, I myself rated Kanon highly in this competition. Sadly, as the tournament progressed, I realized the terrible truth. They started out pretty well. But shortly after their victories, they are pushed to the side, before they even had a decent amount of time to cherish their success. I guess other series' mojo played a role in this. I would have preferred that Kanon did better than this. It's all on Sayuri now, despite that I would have favored Mai (Ayu's fine as well) to be the one holding the Kanon torch. If only Mai had been put in a different bracket!

On another note, Today's Best Moe:
I'm certain Hinagiku will get alot of support due to her early exit in JS. I expect a Hinagiku win but I'm not overly confident. Not sure if Fate's loss in JS and Nanoha's loss in KS affected everyone's thoughts on Reinforce II.

Whether or not you think I'm a guy is your own business, but using the masculine pronoun to refer to me feels downright weird.

Current thread-- http://etc6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/vote/1191342469/

Current vote totals (inc fake votes):
G2-4
Ichinose Nono@Hitohira = 95
Sakuragi Matsuri@Ichigo Mashimaro = 66
Furude Rika@Higurashi no Naku Koro ni = 248

H2-4
Takano Miyo@Higurashi no Naku Koro ni = 105
Ibara-hime@Otogi Jushi Akazukin = 125
Sawachika Eri@School Rumble Second Term = 166

[Deathkillz]

Err...good start for Eri chan (i seriously doubt that she would recieve much fakes anyway )

[OverFunk]

So, I ended up voting for Eri. But those Epic Light Expressions will always remain in my memory.

Also voted Rika. Picked rather easily, since Nono was too cruel to Mugi during the first half ;_; and Matsuri feels like forced cute.

Picked Konomi and Hinagiku for KS. I don't particularly care about the first one, but I want to see Hinagiku win the second.

Patchy for Seimoe. She seems to have a comfortable lead.

I'm glad that the reactions against Louise were only moderate. Although I have the feeling she wasn't well liked here from the beginning. That would explain most of the consternation.

I don't feel that much the loss of Kanon, a series I loved myself, since all main 5 lost against someone well liked to me. Konata, Miyako, Rena, Eruruu and Louise. Of course I would have rampaged if they had lost against a RM or Nanoha character. On that note, I couldn't react like that when Ayu lost to Death, because my brain was still processing Shana's victory. In KS, Mai to Nagi, Makoto to Ayu, Shiori to Maria, all three lost to someone I liked. Only Nayuki against Shinku remains.

Rika landslide. Eri's match seems closer. I must mention that today 4 of the 6 participants came from the 2nd preliminary round. Also that only 5 contestants who got in that way are still in, so if it all goes in its natural way, only 1 will remain, that being Segawa Izumi from Hayate the Combat Butler.

Oh come on, it will take you at most 5 minutes. And there aren't any preliminary results, so it won't take your time during the day. And more of us voting, could make KS a more accurate thermometer of JS.

[margafred]

What's this?????!!

I can't believe it...after Mai was leading her group all day long,even till the end,but after deducting out the fake votes,the table turns around.There're must be somekind of magic/conspiracy involved here that gives Louise a "just" 2 votes win against Mai.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.............

This is indeed horrible...i can't even speak,can't even think properly...its just a 2 different votes,but who would even thought that Louise gonna win the match,since from the beginning till the end of the match,its Mai dominating the group all the way,only to be disappointed by the real vote counts after deducting out the fake votes.

[wontaek]

Kanon in Korean Tournament had repeated misfortune of close loss to strong opponents. We still have a match between Minase Nayuki, the last remaining, yet perhaps the best girl, from Kanon, and Shinku, the main heroine of the two Rosen Maiden TV series. I suspect that it will take much concentrated effort from International anime fans to knock off one of the top general of the Rozen Empire.

Korean Moe Tournament is drawing more than 400 voters from 50 different countries according to the latest report. It is possible that KS maybe better indicator of global sentiment compared to JS, where international access are frequently blocked by IP banning.

That's more than the average JS day, but it fluctuates.

Tell me, around how many Koreans you think vote in JS? And what letters do you get at the end of the voting code? I want to know, to see if Agent86 was counting you among foreign votes.

I will post this question in the Korean bulletin board.
