True, though that only explains Team Cepha, and once it became clear she was damn near hopeless, logically-speaking (*gasp* logic on a forum for hentai game???) we should have abandoned that idea so that the primary goal of maximizing new girls (I HOPE that was Priority 1, and that upgrading a 2-4* was secondary, but given voting that's doubtful) was pushed through. Team Mint and such was just stupid no matter how you look at it (right from the first update it was clear she and other 2*s/3*s were lost causes), only serving to show stubborn loyalty to your waifu over maximizing player benefit

Not that it even matters anymore, overcoming the Orchid lovers would have required most of the 100, 200, 500, whatever, of us voting the same, which realistically is unlikely to begin with.

Edit: Sorry, I'm frustrated by a lot of things, IRL and in-game, and re-reading the above posts makes me feel like I'm just flaming others, even if there is logic to what I'm saying. Don't want to be causing hate/divides between us informed forum users. We have enough trouble as it is dealing with the uninformed masses to not need such issues here.
