Wondering how will work if Orchid stays in 2nd place... we will have the bride 5* version and the bride 6*star version? or we won't have the 6* and will be replaced forever for the 5*? better having the 6* version and not the 5* incase Orchid makes 2nd or 3rd place but that would be to optimistic from my part thinking that even if Orchid makes 2nd or 3rd place Nutaku will bring the 6*.
Yeah, if Orchid comes in 2nd or 3rd, we'll get a 5* Orchid bride, and then later on we'll eventually get the 6* Orchid bride for a total of three Orchids. I don't have a source, but I vaguely remember that they were going to bring in the DMM winners at some point, and since they didn't mention anything else I'd be awfully surprised if they decided to give us 5* Orchid and scrap the 6* one. Although reading your post, maybe you're right and maybe I'm just being too optimistic as well. x)
In any case, I hope Orchid gets kicked out of the top 3.
AFAIK, Nutaku on Discord said that no, we are NOT getting new 5* Orchid if she stays on 2nd / 3rd place, just same old DMM Orchid Bride.
Curiously enough they decidedly didn't comment on if we still going to get her as 6*, or if they are going to downgrade her to 5*
So all in all, if Orchid (or Cactace) wins, we lose one new character REGARDLESS of her place.
Seriously. Its time to set aside any waifu reservations and band together as a community to block Orchid from placing on the podium.
Well the only way we can achieve an impact big enough to slap orchid out is if we mass vote the current 3rd and 4th. Since thats the smallest gap in votes needed in order to get Orchid out.
But since both are 6* girls, I doubt the community will give up their ludicrous 2* girl dream. So I doubt we are going to achieve anything really.
Cepha's a good compromise. She's close enough to the top to be achievable, and still not a 5/6*. Remember, there are people who haven't cast a single vote yet, so Orchid's not out of her reach. But people do have to stop voting for 2/3* lost causes. Voting for the Libertarian party of FKG won't influence anything, and it won't make you feel good because they'll still lose.
Considering that Cepha is under half of what Orchid is at currently, I doubt we can bump Cepha hard enough. Since without a doubt a lot of non forum users will look at the midway point and be like "ah yeah, sounds/looks good, I will just go with that aswel". And while we may still have some people with a ton of tickets stocked (2k here myself), there are non forum users who will have the same most likely.
Hell, I want Toad Lily to win, she's at the 5th spot now, but I already feel like she can't reach Orchid anymore. So I kinda have to put faith in alipinia and sakura to slap orchid out.
