5th Anniversary Voting Poll

[maotd]

Hi guys. It's time to have some serious talk. And a separated thread to do it.

I make this thread to speak about and decide what to do for this 5th voting event and to combine our efforts and tickets and vote for a girl not as a single commander but as a united community.
We are not here to get other's people vote for our favorite waifu. We are here to push a girl in the top all together, even if she is not our waifu. Solo voting is useless and worthless for us. So, let's try to make something with our power.
If you still want to vote for the girl(s) you like, do as you want. Nobody force you. Just, don't speak about your pesonnal choices here if you don't want to join the common vote.

There is just some few rules to follow (please):

* Don't spam "don't vote Anemone / vote Anemone". If we are here it's mainly to kick her out of her eternal throne. Not because we don't like her. Just because other girls deserve a bit more attention.

* Don't argue with others because they don't support your waifu. We are not here to waste time with this

* You are free to not join us and do solo vote for your waifu. But please, don't post here if you don't want to join the common vote. Don't try to convince everyone to not join.



This thread is a common project, not an obligation. Just enjoy the event, no matter who or why you are voting for.

I'm all for the initiative, though I need to read up if we have any categories this time around.
If we have, we may have a better chance to single out our target depending on the criteria.

I have no proposals as to who to vote for right now.

[maotd]

For proposal, I think we should just wait until the firsts results. Just to pick a girl high in the list.

[Volarmis]

It seems we have two types of tickets - one for the general poll and one for three thema polls ("the flower knight I want to become a mother", "favorite 2* - 4*", "favorite flower knight from those introduced after February 2019").
We would probably need to decide on one of the categories to throw all tickets there.

I've posted it before in the main thread, but I have a spreadsheet that I could use to calculate what sort of effort it would take to change last year's results. I'll dust it off when I get home and let you guys know some of the stats I cooked up. While not exactly promising from what I remember, it isn't a hopeless effort.

As for my plans, I would love to vote Lily R for main poll, but if efforts here show some real promise (and don't include voting for someone that already has an alt version), I could be convinced to change. However, ALL of my topic tickets will go towards Canola in the 2-4* poll under the "Resurrect Moritan" initiative. Canola has been top 4* multiple times in main poll (so she has an okay shot), and her artist (Moritan) has not drawn a new knight for FKG in ages. I will not be deviating from that plan.

[Mitoru]

Canola is a respectable choice, i'm willing to support it even tho she is my second favourite "starter" after Silver Orchid aka Cepha.

[Volarmis]

I remember you've posted that spreadsheet before, good effort on your part.
As far as I remember we would need quite a lot of people to pull that off.

Out of the "main heroine 4" of the story, the one I like the most might be Di Yu (the first I got on Nutaku), though I'd be up to vote for Canola (the first I got on DMM ) too if we choose the 2*-4* category. I do have other girls I like in this range, but one step at a time I guess.

[maotd]

Canola seems a good choice for the 2*-4* category but that category will give us a low* as new 5* anyway. Should we pick one from 2019 girls? There is some good 5* event girls in 2019.

Alright, stats time. First some disclaimers: all numbers are based on what it would have taken to get a knight a new version based on last year's main poll results. That means they at least had to beat the third place in main poll. Obviously these numbers mean nothing for this year's result; these are only intended to show what sort of effort may be required to actually make a difference in the rankings. Also, when I say that "X people are required using Y potions per day" I'm assuming an average of 200 stamina per potion. Most of the time I just go with 20 stamina potions (4000 stamina) because I consider that a reasonable number.

First, the most hopeful-looking: getting 4th place Snowdrop to 3rd would have taken just 14 more people doing 20 stamina potions per day. Now how about Saffron, who placed in sixth? At 20 stamina potions per day, that would take 426 people (the difference between 4th and 6th was over 30 million votes). To get the number of people under 100, each person would need to use 94 stamina potions per day (or 48oo FG per day). Now, because this is me, I have to see how we could have uplifted Lily R to her rightful throne. Again, at 20 stamina potions per day, that would have required 836 people. To get the number of people under 100, each person would need to use at least 174 stamina potions per day. I did some analysis on the topic polls, and they come up with similar-ish numbers.

So yeah, it's far from an easy feat to make a difference. Not impossible, but we need to choose a target very carefully.

[Tomitain]

I'd support Canola or Cepha in the 2-4* category since they're the two 'heroic' 4* Knights without a 5* version at the moment.
