I disagree mate, it's clear that we are not that many here, but let's say that there 100 players here in this forum reading this thread, if this 100 players would have cooperated with each other to kick Orchid they would have voted for Alpinia, right now everyone is above 2k tickets, that a total of 200k votes from those 100 players, that could have helped Alpinia in getting above Orchid, all what would been left is Sakura who could have the other 2k from those players who are aiming to the 4k tickets

You may think that even in this scenario Sakura couldn't make it because she is way down compared to Orchid, but the truth is is that there is more than 100 players in this forum, i would dare to say that there is at least 500, if only half of them would have helped we could have make it, just because we are not as much as the main player base doesn't mean we can't make a difference, we could have kicked Orchid out of the top 3 but sadly we weren't united on this, unity is power my friends, let's cooperate next time

All of the different voting strategies made perfect sense under the rules that were in place at the time. Before the first results were out, Mint was just as valid a choice as any other girl. Once the first results showed Cepha as the only sub-5* hope, she was a valid choice. Dumping Orchid wasn't the ONLY goal until right now. Sure, we never could convince some people to dump Mint and vote in their own best interest, and that kept hurting the chances of making Cepha a viable alternative, but the rules kept changing on us and placing total emphasis on kicking Orchid with the 6* girls in 3rd and 4th place only makes sense now that the final rules change has happened. And really, if we had gotten Mint or Cepha up there, we'd have to struggle to replace THEM now that we know what the gacha's going to be.

That's not true mate, dumping Orchid was the objective since the first results because by then we already knew that we were going to get the brides from the japanese version, the other changes came later, things have changed so much that right now nobody cares about it anymore, but at that moment things were different, and if we would have go the way of getting Alpinia and Sakura on top 3 we all have won even with the current conditions, because the winners are going to be in a special gacha it was a great chance to get a 6 stars girl, we still can get Baccara or Alpinia from this but the fact that Orchid is still there may end up in rolling her in the future gacha
