This is a misconception.

If we follow DMM then...

1. A 6* winning 1st place will be a completely new 6* unit with different stats, skill and abilities than the original.
*That means that if Black Baccara wins, then we will get 2 Black Baccara's (Original 6* and the new 6*unit) in the game.

2. A 6* winning 2-3rd place will be a completely new 5* unit with different stats, skill and abilities than the original.
*That means that if Black Baccara wins 2nd/3rd place, then we will get 2 Black Baccara's (Original 6* and the new 5*unit) in the game.

3. A winning 5* unit will have the same treatment as above.

That is... pretty much exactly that OP said.
BB winning gets us second 6* BB. 5* on second/third place gets us second 5*. But should lower rarity girl be in top three, her new version (5*/6*) will be higher rarity than original. Upgrade!
In the same vein, 6* in 2nd/3rd place will make her new version have worse rarity than original. Downgrade!

Downgrade, but vastly more accesible than her 6* form. So hey, if you really like that 6*, having her become 2nd or 3rd means you might actually get her new form.

Because this is a "Popularity Contest Event" not the "Vote for 2-4* to be 5/6* Contest Event".People will vote based on whoever they like/want, not to make 2-4* relevant in the game. A 2-4* having a 5/6* alt is no different than a 6* having a 5/6* alt since both will be a completely different units than the original whether they get an upgraded/downgraded in their rarity or not!.

So why have a 6* get another 6* or downgrade it to 5* if there are 2-4* who could get higher rarity alt regardless of ranking you ask? Simple

Because this is a "Popularity Contest Event" not the "Vote for 2-4* to be 5/6* Contest Event".

You can't blame people for voting for their waifu(which happens to be BB, currently looking at the results), nor you can't force them to vote for someone else. Instead, you can blame Nutaku for allowing 5/6*'s to participate in the contest if your favorite 2-4* are losing.

Besides, we will get 1 new 6* and 2 new 5* regardless of who wins the contest.

Unless the previous DMM winners win again. Then we'd just get what they got. And that's boring

Actually, it's neither. It's "Vote for any girl to be 5/6* Contest Event". Because that's what we are doing, we are voting for the girl we want as a 6*/5*. But people see the "Popularity Contest" and vote for the girl they like the most, not the girl they want released as a 6*.

The only reason this whole thing counts as a Popularity Contest is because they've tagged it as a "Popularity Contest". If they had been 100% clear about it, people would see this for what it actually is: "Vote for the next 6*/5* Contest".


Edit: To put it simply, we were all decieved by the "Popularity Contest". The second they add conditions and rewards, the whole aspect of the contest changes. I'm voting for Yulan because I desperately want her to be made into a 6* or a 5* girl, not because she's my favourite girl. If I hadn't known that the winners would get bride versions, I would never have voted for Yulan. And if I didn't vote for my favourite girl but rather for a different girl that I want made into a 6*/5*, then there are others who would be willing to vote for a different girl than their favourite. Therefore I believe that the results would have been SO very different if everyone had known about all the conditions beforehand.

Good job Jess. Use this style, its better, i guess.
-
Rule #1 - Do not vote for Orchid Wydler, Cactace or Camellia.

• These three girls have already won and recieved their bride versions. They will be released to us even if they don't win this time around.
• By voting for either of these three girls, you are telling Nutaku: "We don't want any new girls, but thank you for offering. Bye now."

Rule #2 - The girl who comes first will be made into a 6* bride. The girls who come in 2nd and 3rd will be made into 5* brides.

• The winner will not turn into a 6* or 5*, but rather, they will make a new 6*/5* girl based on the winner. Regardless of who wins.
• This means that if 2* Mint wins, they'll release a new 6* Mint that is on par with all other 6* girls. But the 2* Mint will not disappear.

Rule #3 - Don't vote for 5* or 6* girls. Do if you want, but please, try not to.

• Simply put, if a 6* or 5* wins, we'll basically just be recieving a new skin for them. But if a lower star wins, we'll recieve that girl as a new high star.

Rule #4 - You will not recieve the girl you vote for.

• This whole popularity contest isn't about rewarding you with the girl you voted for. It's about seeing which girl is the most popular, so that they can remake that girl into a stronger girl. That's why we want you to vote for low star girls, the dream of watching a 2*/3* turn into a 6*/5* is strong within us all.

Hear hear, I haven't voted yet and will not be doing so until I've had at least 4k tickets just cos I find it easier to track how much I've amassed. Still haven't decided who to vote for yet though.

You do not encourage players to vote 6* or 5* character. However the winners in DMM are 6* and 5* character. I humbly ask that do you have an evidence that the japanese players were not satisfied with new 6* and 5* brides?
