Oh come now, it's not hard to toss them 2 links and tell them "click around"

As for Shana, there'll be a S3 (like FMP) and it probably will need to wait 2~3 years for it to come out. But we're not thinking in terms of Saimoe here when basking in a S3.

Oh. haha.
Well, I must have been skimming the page, then.

(It's in the OP, so I don't think he minds that I'm posting it here.)

and you fail:

Go get hit by a car in front of a train station (yes, I saw your comment.)

I even lowered my Kanon rating because it's not as good in comparison.

It is on the first post, so it's public anyway.

[KholdStare]

Fine, I will admit that I fail. And also, I did not peek at your True Tears review, and we were both writing it simultaneously...

Okay minhtam, expect a text document from me soon, with hopefully less than 0.725% error.

EDIT: Sadly, Clannad did not make the cut for top ten. I swear it's bubbling at #11 though.

Just like Clannad.

I'll say we should definately start voting on Nagi, Louise, and Sakura, but I'm not quite sure about the Clannad girls yet. I really like Final Fyre's Tomoyo, though.
Speaking of which, Ice-Block's Kyou is good.

Oh, and I finally reached where Syaoran was introduced in CCS. Haha, he seemed a lot nicer when I watched it on Kids WB ten years ago or something.

And Toya is freaking GAR.

PS. I saw your comment on the discussions thing. Maybe we could make another page for the pictures that have been chosen?

I also edited that one Tomoyo picture for you. It looks much better in my opinion: (Before - After)

[Khaos]

CC vs Kiri Komori??? Horo vs Tomoyo??? Zetsuboushitaa!!
This could become interesting...or not.

These two are easy Kiri and Tomoyo votes from me.

What makes me mad is the Shana vs. Hina match that I've known about for two months, though largely ignoring it.

[minhtam1638]

Aw, come on - I had to start things off with a bang - why not a rematch of the closest match in Saimoe Final match history?

I'm a little tired of studying, so I must take a break. Mai's profile will be up shortly.

[Ithekro]

If Clannad 23 had been out before the nominations, Mei would have been on the list with Kyou, Fuko, Kotomi, etc....

!!!

Another few pages popped out over 16 hours. :P

This place has now become a workplace rather than anything else.

Anyway, there is nothing more for me to do around here except swe... clean up some of the avatars, right?

Well, not clean up... but re-do. It seems that South Korea in general is complaining about the picture I chose for Eri's avatar. And since the picture they intended to use was taken for her profile pic, we might need to do some looking. But I am kind of a little busy today, so I'll hand you a new set of avatar replacement requests later. But the good thing is we actually have 64 avatars. The final four will be uploaded... after my Physics exam .

Mai Kawasumi's profile is completed. And KholdStare - three schedule mistakes! I know Ryou and Kyou are hard to tell apart, but Kyou and Kyon's Sister? You might want to check your work again.

What happened to the other 2 Eri pictures that wontaek suggested?


Edit:
Check the Bio Wiki page - Haruhi, Suigintou and Hinagiku await proofreading and Shana is ready (after figuring out qtipbrit made edits and incorporating them).

Uh... ok. I am fine with redo. But then you will have to tell which ones. Also, just in case they are not included, there are some that looks pretty terrible even after the clean up. So here are some suggestions as to what I could do with them. A. Touch up and hope for the best. B. Get a new RAW. C. Trace and redraw. (Also, I was sure I could clear all them 64 considering we started early and had time extensions.)

With that done for now, anyone wants me to go over the bios or anything else? While I am at it, is there anyone of the group who can't access IRC? Maybe we could have a chatroom for instant messaging for some parts of the work to get done faster.

You mean the one on page 20? Yeah, that will have to do.

Will take care of it when I'm ready to take care of it. Right now, I got other things.

Fairfield University blocks all IRC connections, so that would be a no go for me.

Yeah, I'll tell you which ones to redo - we're going to need new screencaps for Eri and the three Higruashi girls if this is going to work. But I hope everything will turn out alright.

Oh, and I think we will need a second Korean translator - it seems the current one has gone AWOL.

[Fynal_Fyre]

LOL WUT's this, okay, this thread's moving way faster now.

Erm, before I say anything, I need to address a few issues 1st..

1. Please, no votes for Louise or Ryou or Kyou yet, the more kick-ass ones haven't been uploaded yet....

2. I second the Idea of a chatroom, but I haven't been on one myself as IRC is kinda...frowned upon where I am...

Oh, wontaek, got a link to a higher-res version of that Nagisa pic?

And minhtam, good luck for that physics exam, and how's the search for the Japanese translator coming along?

EDITTTTTTT: No Nagi votes, please, Hayate no Gotoku, Episode 52 just out, it has great screencaps.

[z3phyr.mp3]

finally started making some sigs...
not sure if this will be my final template though...

Spoiler for sigs:

Spoiler for vote:

attach this to the beginning and end...

and we have...

Spoiler for with "vote" attached:

[minhtam1638]

Ugh... Physics was a nightmare. Sure, I knew all the equations and what to do with them, except they were the wrong equations. I had to dig deep into my mind to figure out which ones were the right ones. I was lucky my professor let me stay in this seminar room for a time extension. I know I passed, but at the same time, I'm not too confident about the grade I'm getting.

April is supposed to be my breakthrough month for college, though - that's usually when my sense of urgency increases and I start doing extra credit work and stuff. Oh well.

EDIT: By "Oh well", I don't mean I'm going to put all the other important work in my life off - I'll just have to adapt.

The Japanese translator search - not going well, and to make matters worse, our Korean translator went missing - hasn't shown up in the ISML forum nor the Anizone forum (yes, the hosts of Korea Best Moe are participating). I may need to find another Korean translator.

Anyway - on the agenda for the next 90 minutes or so - get the last avatars up, make up the matches for the foreigners, and get to class. If we have time, I'll get Shana's profile running, but that might wait until this afternoon.

EDIT 2: Every avatar has been loaded... except Kiri. Apparently the weebly servers are having a fit, not to mention alpha butchered her name a bit there.
