AD2008: Round 5 Voting

[dunno001]

DO NOT PICK MORE THAN 2 CHARACTERS IN THE POLL. PICKING MORE WILL VOID YOUR VOTES!

That aside, we're now finishing up the first half of the draft. Good luck to all playing!

[dunno001]

And of course, I get to kick off the voting. It's about time that I get to vote for 2 guys! I hated having to cut a 3rd one out, but I will enforce my own rules like a hawk!

(Other than that, I have to say that I like being able to see things before others! :P It'll make it easier to track who has voted, and less work in the end to determine how many votes to void.)

*checks percentages* Actually, there may even be an easier way than checking the names... all I'd have to do is add all the percentages, since it does seem to track vote percents correctly in this software!

[Nosredna]

Just two huh? I went with a maid and a high school student then. I'm sure one is easy to the guess, the other probably won't be ;).

[Jimmie M]

My votes for Round 5:

Miyuki Kowbayakowa (You're Under Arrest!)
Narue Nanase (The World Of Narue)

Help make Ken Nakajima a happy man! Vote for Miyuki! :)

[EmperorBrandon]

DO NOT PICK MORE THAN 2 CHARACTERS IN THE POLL. PICKING MORE WILL VOID YOUR VOTES!


How long can the poll question text go on? Just curious, because it might be good to have the full warning at the top of the poll, since it's the first thing people will see. If they know their votes will be voided, it'll make it less likely people will accidentally or purposely mess up there.

Anyway, Fakir is my favorite male character in anime, so of course I voted for him. My second pick was Suiseiseki who is one of my favorite Rozen Maiden dolls (though after Shinku and maybe Hina-Ichigo for me).

[Westlo]

Faye and Yoko!

[bci110]

My votes went to the daring tomboy and the 2006 Saimoe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saimoe) champion.

[TheFly]

Vote Fuko!

My second vote went to Akira Kogami by default, being the only other (female) character I actually know (I have some of the other shows on DVD but haven't watched them yet...).

[AdyHart]

Vote for Sanosuke Sagara a representative for the under appreciated anime male population.
My second vote was an easy choice, a girl with a fondness for a certain sea creature.

[Laputa]

Vote for Rosette Christopher. The eyes of the Church are on you...

[The Great Bear]

Yakumo is :beatingheart: so that was easy enough.

For the second vote, I gave it to Narue, since older shows need some love, and Narue deserves some.

[Spirit Of The Stage]

Not sure how Fakir will do - I'm hoping the Ahiru fans of Round 2 flock back (didn't work for Kagami though...I cry...)

My second vote in all seriousness was down to Ami and Yakumo...but in the end, at least Fudce replied to my attempt to get a yur...I mean a...ahem...picture of their character with one of the other female cast...yeah, that works...so went with Yakumo.

[dunno001]

Can you bold and underline in the poll, though? I don't think you can, which is why I just used the caps, and made sure the very first line of my post was the warning.

[Buster Blader 126]

Well, vote #1 went to Suiseiseki, who I drafted. She definitely made Jun's house more lively over the course of Rozen Maiden. As for my second vote, I knew 11 other characters besides Suiseiseki. After taking one glance, I narrowed it to two lovely ladies:

Yakumo
Asa

Unfortunately, I send my apologies to Yakumo. Asa's wily charms have me by the throat.

[Azumangaman]

My votes for Round 5:

Miyuki Kowbayakowa (You're Under Arrest!)
Narue Nanase (The World Of Narue)
SAME PICKS!
VOTE FOR NARUE!

[Fudce]

Vote Yakumo!

I also voted for Suiseiseki.

[Haywire]

Hmmm...after some thought I decided to share the Narue love and then fell prey to last-in, first-out and went with Asa over Miyuki.

[something]

Yakumo Tsukamoto (School Rumble)
Suiseiseki (Rosen Maiden)
Fuuko Ibuki (Clannad)
Asa Shigure (Shuffle)

I decided to just cut to the chase this time. And of these four, I choose... IBUKI FUUKO!

And...

SUISEISEKI!

Caus... they're awesome.

[JackC]

Vote for Rosette Christopher. The eyes of the Church are on you...

Heathen! We all know Father Anderson is the only pure representative of the Church [/sarcasm]

[Randall Flagg]

Somewhat easy.

An old favorite (Mahoro) and a new favorite (Yakumo Tsukamoto).

I've just fallen in love with Yakumo after 5 volumes of SR.

[Lumberjack]

Went with Faye for my second vote this round.

[Victor Lewandowski]

Mahoro Ando and Shigure Sohma are my votes for this round.

[Shsway]

OMG, easiest poll ever! I :beatingheart: Ami-chan and Sano sooo much!! They were even listed together, for my convenience. :sdsmiley:

[Laputa]

Heathen! We all know Father Anderson is the only pure representative of the Church [/sarcasm]

Hey, hey, we all know it's the girls who do the work around here. The men just stay at home and slack off all day. So back off, Iscariot, and let the Magdalene Order take care of things!

[Narob]

My, my. It's been some time since I've dropped in on this party. Votes go to Mahoro and Kobayakawa. Because women in uniform are hot.

[Jimmie M]

Votes go to Mahoro and Kobayakawa. Because women in uniform are hot.

But of course! ;) Thanks for the vote! :)

[ancar]

Akari + Shigure here. Go Akari!

[bci110]

Well, vote #1 went to Suiseiseki, who I drafted. She definitely made Jun's house more lively over the course of Rozen Maiden.

Not just Jun's house but the entire freakin' series!!! That's the power of desu! :beatingheart:

[ape2020]

So I'm watching the "voters" total go up and I was wondering if thats the number of voters or votes?

-ape2020

[Victor Lewandowski]

So I'm watching the "voters" total go up and I was wondering if thats the number of voters or votes?

-ape2020

I think that is the number of voters. At this moment, 64 people have voted, which doesn't look that great. Hopefully by the time this round is over, that number is closer to or over 100. :relief:

[Proximity]

Got my obligatory vote in for Shigure

Had to think hard yet again about my second vote this round before deciding on Fakir.

[dunno001]

Correct. There are 65 voters at the time of my making this reply, and 129 votes recorded.

[malazar]

This was a really weak round for me. Zelgadis and Guts were my two overwhelming choices.

[krelyan]

This was a really weak round for me. Zelgadis and Guts were my two overwhelming choices.

Ditto.

[dunno001]

Just in case anyone is curious, I will be starting round 6 after this round ends to make sure that everything is working fine and good for everyone. If all is fine, we will resume 2 per week at that point.

[Buster Blader 126]

Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a quick question: Is there any particular reason why Suiseiseki and Asa are italicized in the poll?

[Victor Lewandowski]

Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a quick question: Is there any particular reason why Suiseiseki and Asa are italicized in the poll?

They are your votes. :bigsmile:

[Buster Blader 126]

They are your votes. :bigsmile:

*smacks head* :blush:

Thanks. XD I had a "wait a minute..." thought before I read your response, too.

[Veren]

This one was an easy round for me. Not a lot that I know.

Went with Faye Valentine and Mahoro Ando.

[Suwako Moriya]

There were some rather nice choices and yes that includes male characters this time. Such as Fakir (Princess Tutu) for example. So deciding was a lot tougher. However I decided to go with both a recent character and an older one. Okay maybe not that old. I have chosen Fuko Ibuki (Clannad) and Asa Shigure (Shuffle).

[Suwako Moriya]

Is there any particular reason why Suiseiseki and Asa are italicized in the poll?They are your votes. :bigsmile:

Interesting so I guess this means whatever I vote for in a poll will end up italicized as a reminder of that vote.

And for the record, Asa Shigure and Suiseiseki are italicized on my user account as well. :beatingheart:

Yes they will be like chains on your soul for the sin you just commited.

For not voting for Zelgadis Greywords you heathen :noodle:

I am glad that person's name shows up in italics for me, so I am not one of them. :devil:

For not voting for Zelgadis Greywords you heathen :noodle:


Committing such a minor sin is worth it if it means supporting the Star Fish. As well as Green Haired Awesome.

[Shiroi Hane]

Gah, there's four I picked right off the bat here:

Fuuko Ibuki (Clannad)
Evangeline A.K. McDowell (Negima)
Asa Shigure (Shuffle)
Akira Kogami (Lucky Star)

In the end I went with Fuuko and Asa.

[Victor Lewandowski]

About 6 hours left to vote in Round 5 before the results are revealed. Time for the last minute people to have their voices heard and possibly decide some close races. :sdsmiley:

[Azumangaman]

Hmmm...I wonder how the first poll on the new forums will work out.

[dunno001]

Hmmm...I wonder how the first poll on the new forums will work out.
Well, if nobody else votes in these last few minutes, 75 voters totaling 148 votes. Not as good as when we had a sidebar, but still not too shabby. Of course, I want to kick 1 more vote toward one of my picks, but...

[EmperorBrandon]

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot the results need to be weeded out. Better comment later after that point. :P

[Nosredna]

Assuming those numbers are correct.....

Congrats Coach Lumberjack! Are you surprised by your co-winning this round? Do you regret giving a vote to Faye though? What do you think your chances are for the final five rounds?

Congrats Coach Westo! You had the first pick in round five, did you ever imagine you'd co-win the round? How do you rate your chances for the final five rounds?

[dunno001]

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot the results need to be weeded out. Better comment later after that point. :P
I've actually been doing that already. And there's nothing to weed out! (Yay!!) So the official results (pending someone catching something I missed) for round 5 are:

(Character/Series - Votes - Points)
Guts (Berserk) 13 19.5
Faye Valentime (Cowboy Bebop) 13 19.5
Fakir (Princess Tutu) 12 18

[EmperorBrandon]

And there's nothing to weed out! (Yay!!)

Cool, that's what it seemed like when I was browsing through who voted for who.

Anyway, what I was going to say: Congrats to Fakir for getting 3rd. Glad he had a strong showing this round. I really liked the respectably-placed tie with Suiseiseki and Yakumo too. My favorites this round did pretty well.

[dunno001]

He was the one I wanted to kick another vote to. This draft is lacking in kick-ass guys that are also damn hot, so of course I want him to have points!

[dunno001]

Oh, and if there are any issues, please be sure to post them now. I'm getting ready for bed now; I'll check in before I go to work tomorrow, and if there are no problems, round 6 will start then.

[Buster Blader 126]

Tied for 5th, eh? That's pretty good. For some reason, I get the feeling that Suiseiseki might not have done as well if we still had the side poll, despite having R1 exposure. So I can't help but think that switching over to the new boards helped me out a little. But who's to say that's really the case? I'll never know.

In any case, thank you to those who voted for your resident desu-doll.

[Helschadenfreude]

Wheee... Close enough to the bottom :D . I hope someone doesn't get hurt because only 5 votes were cast for Akabane.. mehhhh..... Hayate is good target practice for him anyway.

[Fudce]

Suiseiseki (Rosen Maiden) 9 14.5
Yakumo Tsukamoto (School Rumble) 9 14.5
Curses, cost myself half of a point by voting for Suiseiseki... ;)


Evangeline A.K. McDowell (Negima) 2 1
Ouch, Evangeline only managed two votes? Tough break.

61 Fudce
60 Spirit of the Stage
Now that's what I wanted to see ;)

With the complete annihilation of Negima's popularity, a bottom finish for Sechan wouldn't surprise me.

In any case, thank you to those who voted for your resident desu-doll.

I would say that the opposite would be true for Asa Shigure. Had we still been using the FusionBB software, I think Asa would have benefitted from the poll being on the sidebar. Though it is a bit puzzling that Asa only received 6 votes despite the fact that she's supposed to be the most popular character on Shuffle (allegedly) and easily won the Shuffle poll I conducted last month.

Oh, well, at least Sui-chan did very well. She's one of the characters I was thinking about as my first-round choice for next year's draft (if there's going to be one).

Congrats to both Westlo and Lumberjack on you tie, and thanks to those that voted for Asa.

[Fudce]

Oh, well, at least Sui-chan did very well. She's one of the characters I was thinking about as my first-round choice for next year's draft (if there's going to be one).

It's also a nice thing to see for both of us, with my Shinku, and you Suigintou, up in the next two rounds.

[dunno001]

Since there seems to be no problem, I'm going to go ahead and go start round 6 now...

What, you on top of me? You scare me sometimes... :) But yeah, a close battle so far between us and half way through...*kuu kuu kuu*

But yes, Fakir did amazingly well - only Faye and Guts beating by one vote and considering those two are top tier characters that made last rounds' disappointment vanish. Thanks for the support (especially to Brandon and Dunno even if he didn't vote for him...it's the thought that counts (ignoring that his vote would have tied me for top...:P)

Oh wait...he did! Didn't realise if you click on the number it shows who votes for you...I take it all back - again, that why I'm officially Baka Black...

Yeah, I was watching the numbers, and there for a bit, he was in the lead, so I was like "Woohoo!!" internally, but... the lead didn't last. He was my easy vote for the round; I've noticed for me that most of the rounds have 1 character I must vote for, with the second one being a toss-up...

[Jimmie M]

At least Miyuki didn't do too badly given the tough choices in this round. I'll take it.
Thanks to everyone who voted for Miyuki! :)
Congrats to Lumberjack & to Westlo on their first-place finishes! :)

We'll see how long that'll last, though. While I'm hopeful that Urd & Ecliar will perhaps be on the top half of the list, I'm not sure how well Eri will do, Split-voting will hurt Kyo, and I drafted Pikachu. I'm expecting to drop about 2 places with Pikachu, but drafting him/her was oh so worth it. XD

Suiseiseki (Rosen Maiden) 9 14.5
Yakumo Tsukamoto (School Rumble) 9 14.5
Curses, cost myself half of a point by voting for Suiseiseki... ;)

To think that if I voted for Yakumo instead of Asa, that I would've lost a half-point. =P Yakumo is awesome, but I like Asa just a tad more.

It's possible, but Shuffle! is still moreso an otaku-oriented series, and Shuffle's R1 exposure hasn't been long enough to show the more awesome qualities of Asa, IMO.

And you're welcome. :sdsmiley:

[AdyHart]

How did Sanosuke Sagara manage to not be bottom of the pack? With the votes on the side bar I thought he would have an OK result but I held no hope without it, but he managed to finish a little bit higher, so a personal success :)

Although what has happened to the love of Negima? Konoka did really poor and the great Evangeline only got 2 votes which is terrible. I thought she would have been a high flyer this round and that was the only reason I didnt vote for her.

Congratulations to the joint winners Lumberjack and Westlo and thank you to the few that voted for Sanosuke.

[Victor Lewandowski]

You may have won the battle, but the war goes on :beat:

You didn't do bad enough for this win to make much of a difference in the overall standings. Your lead over the field only decreased by one point.

With the complete annihilation of Negima's popularity, a bottom finish for Sechan wouldn't surprise me.

[TheFly]

Fuko earned me another top 10 result so I'm very happy with her performance. I'm certain she benefited from the loss of the sidebar vote as I suspect this dramatically increased the percentage of voters who are Clannad fans.

On to Round 6 then and I'm expecting Pacifica to fare considerably worse - but I've been surprised before so fingers crossed.

[Lumberjack]

Congrats Coach Lumberjack! Are you surprised by your co-winning this round? Do you regret giving a vote to Faye though? What do you think your chances are for the final five rounds?
To be honest, I am somewhat surprised that Guts was able to co-win the round. He was one of the characters on my team I feared would do the worst. (Thanks to all who voted for him.)

I have no regrets in voting for Faye. She is from one of my favorite series and, had she been available, would have been my pick for the round.

Regarding the last 5 rounds, I'm hoping I can place somewhere in the middle of the rounds. I think Ed will perform the best on my team and Canti will perform by far the worst.

On an unrelated point, I like the fact that you can see who voted for whom once the poll is closed.

[ancar]

Akira Kogami (Lucky Star) 5 4.5

:relief: I probably should have drafted her closer to the end. Might've gotten a little boost from the dvd release. Ah well. Thanks to those who voted for her and congrats to Lumberjack and Westlo!
