Voted early with Hinagiku AA

I hope to be around for the rush though.

The robospammer target seems to be Hinagiku since it keeps spamming Tsukasa Voice Party rushes and Noe.

Nagisa lost today. And maybe Hina wins over Tsukasa, so I begin to campaign Haruka Nogizaka and Nagi for Saimoe 2009.

Eczema · 2008-10-30, 14:36

Yeah there's a lot of Tsukasa, Noe, and Kirino spam going on. Is this supposed to benefit Tsukasa somehow?

For the good of Saimoe (in terms of diversity, etc.), Hinagiku must win her round to prevent an all Lucky Star final.

However, as a fan of Lucky Star, I don't mind a Lucky Star final at all...

Here is what Tsukasa needs to put an "exclamation mark" on her victory, assuming she achieves it...

still worried... if they come back at 11:30 JST like yesterday will mess with the just again :-( if that is the case.. we may have to play by ear as that comes around. (its so much easier to time to 1000 posts instead go 500kb)

note that tracker doesnt do much to remove fakes... but its a talking point anyhow...

NissanNut · 2008-10-30, 18:09

Voted for Hina!

Since my number 1 lost to her, makes sense that she lose the champ. Doesn't hurt that I think Hina is super moe either.

See you guys during the rush!

(No really... if we want to match or beat our new record of 6 ontimers .. you're going to have to use this). Spoiler for About Rushing / Templates / Using Templates: What is a rush? Quite simply it is one of the native traditions of the 2ch existance of Saimoe... it is a fun way to enteract with other like-minded fans to show support for some cause. Most rushes are based on a single charector or series... for example the Nanoha series has always had quite a following. One of the main goals it to make an unbroken series of posts in 2ch ... which is pretty easy in the first rounds, but becomes more and more impossible as the saimoe progresses. So timing is important! The AnimeSuki rush is a rush more to show the support of English speaking fans of some of the traditions of the Saimoe. Are there any template rules? There are technical limitations of 2ch, particularly 2048 bytes. So far I have not found a way to check it that is correct every time, other than test posting it. It seems that while 2ch claims 2048, it may be closer to 1930 or lower. For our rushes, the only required element is ensuring that the AnimeSuki linker is present and appropriately located. Note, the linker is spread across the bottom and top of the rush posts such to LINK the posts together. I highly encourage people to play with the film strip. The film strip is the part running down the left of the rush post. The "default" is just "Anime" ... but I strongly encourage putting the moe gal's name there. If you art is really big or complex, it is fine by me for it to run into parts of the linker or film strip as needed, but do not completely obscure the linker. Don't know how to do AA? It's okay... use our templates. Include some moe-bun if you can. Due to the size limits, sometimes the best way to do this is several minutes before the rush, post your moe-bun (charector support) .. then in your rush post put ">>###" (where the number refers to the post your moe-bun is in). Please try to maintain POSITIVE moe-bun... yes the darkside is strong, but at least for these rushes, please only provide positive moe-bun for the moe-gal your supporting. Save the anti-moe bashing for posts outside of the rush. Don't give the japanese finger ammunition! If you've already voted, please make sure that you change the <<CHARA-HERE>> to something else... like //CHARA-HERE// ... I'll leave my professional opinion of fake votes aside, but 2ch already has enough gaijin hating people... they love to blame fake voting on us for some reason. How do I Rush? IF you already know how to vote in Saimoe, it's basically not all that much different... Probably the easiest way to do it is to open up the 2ch voting thread in a new window (I tend to open two or three tabs of it in that window to various reasons). What is the current voting thread? Just look through the posts here... usually people will post it here.. and we try to post it just before the rush, especailly if it is getting close to the end of a thread. If you want to, you can simple open one of the templates found in this post for the chara you like, and copy over the template to the voting box of your 2ch voting thread... Then open up the time link above. If you haven't posted anything on 2ch today, good chance you will get the cookie question... so 5-10 seconds before the appointed time, click post, then right when appointed time crosses, click ok on the cookie question. Even better is to post in one of the many polls that are going on in 2ch... or if you are not familar enough with Japanese... you can do a normal vote 10-30 minutes before the rush ... then just click post right on the appointed time... Again, you dont HAVE to vote and rush at the same time... I do, but it's just how I do it... and you don't have to use my art (actually if you can find other art, WONDERFUL! ) ... just remember to make sure the linker (the 2 lines at top and bottom that say "AnimeSuki" when two posts are together) are in the right spot... and thats it. Maybe A Better Post on the Subject? [http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...postcount=6396 Spoiler for Tips for an On-Time Rush: RUSH TIPS Naturally one of the more 'competitive' parts of a rush is gaining the longest unbroken chain possible. Here is an example. As you can see most of these posts come within 1 minute, with 10 within the first few seconds. Naturally, right now, AnimeSuki Rushes lack the sheer manpower to compete with the Nanohasts faction (and that isn't the whole rush), we can surely compete on preciseness. How? Just follow these fairly simple tips... 1 - Check your template byte size, if you can. While I try to allow for some additional Moe-bun, I rarely check the templates that I post to find out exactly how much free space is available. http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~yuichi/rest/strcount.html Is a reasonable link, the first feild should show a number right around 1900 or less. I know the official number is 2048 ... but there are things the btye checker doesnt count that 2ch does (the returns at the end of each line, primarily). 2 - Check your template length. If you used one of mine your fine, but make sure its 20 lines or less. If you do use one of my templates, it has to end on the last line of the template; that is you need to go to the last line of the linker on the 20th line and hit <delete> a few times to make sure there is no return there. 3 - Do not 'fix' the template. Sadly most of us do not have nice pretty browsers that the input box (or notepad) supports these fonts correctly.. it will look weird in the box. Leave it how it is (unless you know what your doing). 4 - Post something within 2ch at least a few minutes before the rush. I tend to do this 30 minutes in advance, in a seperate polling area in the board, but even a support post in the voting thread will work. This will get you over the annoying 5 - Use the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)'s JST site. Don't trust your atomic clock, or the computer clock, or any other source... it will not be set to the same time of 2ch or most of Japan. 6 - Watching an .avi / .mkv? Turn it off. Running torrents or other network heavy applications? Turn it off. You don't want your post to compete with those applications (nor the JST time webapp for that matter). 7 - Getting close to time to go? Load all of your templates in tabs ready to go. It's just easier and less stressful that way. 8 - Within a few minutes of rush? Check "difference from local standard time" in JST window, then REFRESH. Did it change much? (more than a second?) ... if so refresh until you get the same difference. 9 - When you get to the rush time, click GO on your post RIGHT AS the :00s turn over. Counting helps me.
