...and yet the most vote-efficient map so far in this event is one easy enough for nearly anyone to autorun. If you can't survive that one without solar blast, you really don't have have enough stamina to burn to need to use autorun.

Your amount of say is, as I said earlier, entirely under your control.

But we are different than you are. My gameplay method was labeled 'nolife' because I place a higher priority on this game than your co-complainer is willing to place on it. Your importance to the game is in direct proportion to the effort you put into it.

It is not I who decided who is worthy to hold a larger saying...I am merely telling you how it is. It is the game itself which rewards long-term and active players. This is nothing remotely new in gaming.

Your forum registrations on a non-Nutaku site certainly make you entitled to more privileges than I am...on this non-Nutaku site. These include name recognition (not important to me) and the ability to edit posts (not normally something I need to do). Congrats on those, I guess. I'll stick with playing the game.

I am also entitled to tell you, just another person behind a computer, that I feel like the idea that you are entitled to use "entitlement" as a basic insult to a person's right of expression is very hypocritical.

Well then, I suppose nobody can ever use the word entitlement, because bringing up the word itself is hypocrisy. You seem to use it a lot, though.

...and yet the most vote-efficient map so far in this event is one easy enough for nearly anyone to autorun. If you can't survive that one without solar blast, you really don't have have enough stamina to burn to need to use autorun.

The amount of stamina that someone has and the level of their units are not directly related, so saying that not having a strong team means you don't have enough stamina to burn may not be true.

Your amount of say is, as I said earlier, entirely under your control.

Yes, that is true, the player puts in the effort they want. But I don't believe having different amounts of say like this makes it a "popularity" contest, as those work differently.

But we are different than you are. My gameplay method was labeled 'nolife' because I place a higher priority on this game than your co-complainer is willing to place on it. Your importance to the game is in direct proportion to the effort you put into it.

I do see your point there. Your saying that the difference is in contribution to the game. I admit, that is a difference and I misunderstood that. However, This part of importance is more of a difference in ideals and beliefs, but I understand what you mean.

It is not I who decided who is worthy to hold a larger saying...I am merely telling you how it is. It is the game itself which rewards long-term and active players. This is nothing remotely new in gaming.

Point taken. You were indeed stating a fact. It doesn't change my opinion that that feels a bit wrong. If I'm understanding you, then, you feel that that is the right way to do things. My point stands that you are entitled to your opinion.

Your forum registrations on a non-Nutaku site certainly make you entitled to more privileges than I am...on this non-Nutaku site.

That doesn't exactly mute my point. You feel those things are unimportant. You comment and contribute to the discussion, but you don't commit totally to the forum. A parallel would be someone who joins FKG, plays daily, but won't fully commit to grinding one area for more voting tickets. Now the thought that because I don't entirely dispose of your opinion means that a whole company should do the same for a playerbase is a silly ideal, so I understand if you dismiss this.

Well then, I suppose nobody can ever use the word entitlement, because bringing up the word itself is hypocrisy. You seem to use it a lot, though

You seem to have misunderstood what I meant in that statement. I said that using the word, entitlement, as an insult to people who are expressing their honest opinion is hypocritical, because you would have to feel entitled to the opinion that my opinion didn't count. The word itself is fine, it's the way you used it that was hypocritical.

No Yulan on the top 10 list... That is a crime. There should be more 2* and 3* up there but I guess the rest of the community is unaware of how the contest works and how it may benefit them if they vote for the lower * girls.

I think it is important to realise the event is not meant to be "purely democratic".
The voting power is roughly in proportion to dedication and team power.
Now, in real life, no one would say he should has more vote than another because he has a higher income or larger contribution to society.
But in games this is often the case.
Games reward according to dedication and work.
This is because game events are mostly competitive in nature, not elective.
Clearly the winner does not bear the duty of promoting common good.

In the end,I think it comes down to whether you think this event is a competition or election.
And by considering how the event is organised, I am more inclined to the former.
Though I do not necessarily agree the former is better.

One last thing here...I have yet to hear of any popularity contest which was completely fair to everyone involved. It's so typical that the term 'popularity contest' has become an epithet. It wasn't 'fair' to the normally popular people in my high school when the band/orchestra kids all collaborated in an unbeatable voting bloc to elect their own people for homecoming court instead of letting the same usual few popular kids get what they'd always assumed they deserved, but they simply followed the rules established by the owners of the contest.

In FKG, it's not fair to the event girls who can't participate (and who would probably dominate). It's not fair to the DMM players, who may not get any of our redesigned girls (unless we're completely stupid and vote for the same girls they did, which...we seem determined to do). It's not fair to the people who will never roll any of the winners in the gacha (including me, probably). If you're stuck on the term 'popularity contest,' well...you're right. It isn't a straight popularity contest. That technicality doesn't matter, because it's just a name. Would you really feel better if they called it a 'long term and active player weighted reward voting event?'

Besides, there are many veterans who are voting not based on their own desires, but based on the will of the Harem Time group. My preferred flower knight won't make it, so I'm putting my votes on the one girl we all decided could upset the 5-6* applecart.

If it is a crime, Nutaku would have a right to ban and report to the police about the players who has already vote character who is 4* rarity above . But that doesn't explain why Nutaku would want include a character who 4* rarity and above in the voting booth in the first place.

The police have already stated that they do not wish to be involved in the matter this time around, after the disaster that happened at DMM last year. So many were falsely arrested, they lost a large amount of players and the whole community had to take a few days simply to recover. We should be fine though.

Looking at the results - GG - it's all over

Ok I understand Orchid....I'm tempted to just say screw this noise and throw all in with Orchid

I have NO idea why it's gone this way....maybe a few dedicate whales really want a redesign, maybe numbskulls think they'll get her

The best 'choice is' Cepha - who is 12,000 short

:-/

If someone can tell me how we got to this state please...

If police does not want to involve in this matter, it's hard to consider a crime since no one would be penalized.

It's only recent, that's the point. Back when the game was only available in DMM it was indeed a crime, but it has since been legalized. The police do still frown upon it, but since it's no longer a crime, they really can't do anything about it.

Pardon me, can you give me a source? Because I'm very curious to see the article.
