I actually just gave Ichigo-Sora the criteria about four hours ago, so it might not be a while.

Dotted Circles are no. of wins
Dotted lines going to center are "in play for period necklace" / Tiara etc
There are two 'missile trails', a cone shaped one which represents "current winning streak"
and a thin single pixel line that supposed to mark "longest winning streak". So for example, Fate had a 40 win streak during the regular season until she lost in Diamond 2, this is represented by the long thin line. After her lose in Diamond 2 Fate picked up 7 wins in a row by the end of Diamond period, this is represented by the cone shape (unfortunately Fate's name blocks the cone from view which is one of the problems I've been having with the missile trails )

Also comments on the size of the "no of wins circles". The one above is done at 1 win = 2 pixels. Compare with

where 1 win = 1 pixel.

1 win = 2 pixel is messy at the end but the win circles will be more discernable at the beginning of the season. 1 win = 1 pixel is less confusing at the end but will take a long time before win circles even register...

Can't we just blame MD? It's so much more satisfying.

I think 1 win = 2 will be better. On the 1 win = 1 pixel there are some that are hard to notice even if it's already at the end.

There is no way to make the names transparent? Or maybe switching the name with the character position. The name at the front won't be much of a problem as the lines going to the center are long and would still be visible even around the end.

Anyway it's awesome!


And about the next match... while I like Kagami, Yuki is much higher on my moe list so I will vote for Yuki.

And i think it's a big mistake for supporting Yuki. If she manages to beat Konata and Kagami you can bet all of 4chan will back Yuki as you know they are rabid Yuki fans. And you seem to forget that Kagami is a part of that Elite 7. Besides If those people had voted for Shana over Fate in the 1st place then Fate could have stopped Konata in her tracks and gone on all the way to the finals easily despite having lost one match.

I wonder if he believes himself that he is not Maddog.

Looks like he will be campaignign for Yuki on 4chan during finals - just as planned.

It was threads like that which made me stop going there. *shiver* Those Yuki threads gave me the creeps.

Who knows, maybe Shinobu's_Lover is actually Mad_Dog's long lost brother or something. Or maybe he has a split personality

Oh well, he just resembles Mad_Dog too much, so I'll stick to believing that he's just another of Mad_Dog's mask.



Anyways, from those past records, it actually does seem like Yuki has that chance of prevailing over Kagami. My pessimism blinded me to the fact that she had defeated both Fate and Kagami before. Perhaps I should acknowledge my hopes and be more optimistic about this.

GO YUKI!

As ludicrous and delusional as some of his posts at the LS forum seem to be, I wouldn't be surprised if he were to go all out in trying to present himself as different people.

Test for Name towards the middle

On Tokyo Tower amirite?

That avatar makes me skip all your posts >_>

I like this a lot better. The names look okay on that side of the star, and they're out of the way of the missile trails now.

Heh, so glad that the term stuck.

[Mushi]

Moe Missile Trails?

It looks good. I'm liking it.

there's actually a sphere of contained light in the skies of Tokyo... kind of like a mini-star. That's where they meet.

[KholdStare]

Yeah seriously. We don't want a rip off of the Final Judgment.

Uh... elaborate please?

[KholdStare]

The Final Judgment in CCS was fought on Tokyo Tower.

[Ithekro]

Does anyones here know anything about the Gin-sama hijack of the Kagami support threads this morning?

Aside from the nice pictures it seemed to be a waste. Or was it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As to the nominations posted above, I'd say you are a little late...or a little early. Next years nominations will be in the near future and you'll have more than 5 slots to vote.

We are presently at the last three remaining contestants in the double elimination rounds: Fate, Yuki Nagato, and Kagami Hiiragi. Tomorrow by this time you will be able to vote for a match between Yuki and Kagami to see which of them will face Fate next week.
