Mr Poltroon

Again, it might be useful to actually read what Zodai wrote. What do you think the coma and the 'or' mean? It means that they aren't all for the same contest, he's giving examples of potential themes for various contests. 1 theme per contest. Or do you actually plan to have all the contests with the same theme? As I said before, I don't care either way. I just seem to enjoy contradicting people, must be my avatar... But, if we were to use Nosebleed's example... With 15 entries, we have about 80 people voting, judging by the last poll. With 15 entries, it's really easy for the votes to be really divided and even (but the total opposite could happen, loads of them could be left empty with no votes). That's why the 2nd vote was suggested. In either case, the 2nd vote would help. I see, it wouldn't be unfair to the voters, it would be unfair to the banners. I didn't even consider that. ... I still think it's fair, but I'm tired of thinking so I might come to my senses later. Or make the counter argument then.

Funyaripa certainly was, but not Zodai, I don't think. Lookie here: Does that seriously look like he means that he means something like this: Which banner is best at transmiting the idea of death? Which banner is the most fearsome? Which banner is the most elegant? All in the same contest? I don't think so... See that? That means he's not speaking about the categories for a contest, but the theme. Because the categories in the contest don't have anything to do with the type of entries, if it were categories it could even be decided after the entries were already in. Alright, I don't see what said 'problem' is. It's not like someone's vote is worth less just because they only voted once. If they only wanted 1 of the banners to win then their vote is worth as much as someone who wanted two different banners to win. It's not like they can vote on the same one twice. Let's look at a practical example, shall we? Imagine Persons A, B, C and D ---Poll One--- Nº1 - A; C Nº2 - B Nº3 - D; ---Poll Two--- Nº1 - Nº2 - A; D Nº3 - Results: Winner - Nº2 with 3 votes. Runner up - Nº1 with 2 votes. A wanted 1 and 2 to win. B wanted 2 to win. C wanted 1 to win. D wanted 3 and 2 to win. From this situation, explain what the unfair bit is. I don't get it, really. If this particular example doesn't show the problem, make your own, I really want to understand this.

I think that's still fair, mate. If there's anybody that decides to only vote once (not that I get why they would do that) that just means that none of the other entries were good enough for them. Hence, they wouldn't want them to become the main banner. No need to equalize anything, in my opinion.

I suppose it could indeed become more interesting with different themes. Or it could happen that everyone just ignores it My view on the matter of 1 or 2 votes is indifferent. I don't think it's cheap, because it would indubitably add more variety to the votes. I'm starting to think you're lacking sleep at the moment. Doesn't that just mean that the entries for the top left corner had to obey a certain theme, like this one's 'Summer'?

Personally I don't see how it'd be complicated for anyone other than the mod who has to figure it out. All YOU need to do is vote twice. Example: ---Poll One--- Nº1 - 5 votes Nº2 - 3 votes Nº3 - 0 votes Nº4 - 6 votes ---Poll Two--- Nº1 - 7 votes Nº2 - 3 votes Nº3 - 10 votes Nº4 - 3 votes (Assuming noone votes twice on the same, which would be nullified) 1st place - Nº1 with 12 votes. Runner up - Nº 3 with 10 votes.

I swear these two are saying the exact same thing. Or have I lost all sentient thought? ... I didn't quite say there would be a problem if there were more than one loli banner. In fact, I said the quite opposite. The problem on THIS poll was that loli fans only had one choice, because only one loli banner was submitted. So in the end, there was no "major issue" for you to see. More of a comment I made about this poll, really.

...Clearly there wasn't enough advertisement. Also, I think the second issue is just plain stupid. This is a poll to decide what the majority wants. The majority wants lolis. Seems fairly simple. The minority just so happened to be part of the, well, minority. Shame on you. Now, here's the problem, IF there had been more than one loli, I can almost guarantee the choices wouldn't have been as biased as they were. As it stands, it went like this: People that didn't favour the loli banner divided among a bunch of choices, and people that favoured loli banners all gathered up on one number. That's what the anti-loli faction should've complained about. Don't thank that plagiarist! Thank the guy above him. He said the exact same thing... Evidently, preferential treatment! What a sham of a mod.

You don't suppose eight number 7 fans will pop out from the shadows, do you?

How many birthdays do you have a year, Aniki? Just yesterday you had one... Happy Birthday from a random stranger!

Logically, I'd assume that means it's an adult game, but does not contain H-scenes. I haven't played it myself though, but when Fuwanovel says 'all ages' it means it has no H-scenes.

Ok, ok. It's a terrible shame that there are other people doing this, but since noone on this site seems to, I'll just continue with it. I'll also make sure to 'borrow' some help from the above links.

As other people in other places are already doing this, I don't see the point of it. Nevertheless, I'm still intent on finishing it. In the meanwhile, I've got another project I've been working on a different forum. So until I truly have free time, this project is on hold. POST IN PROGRESS (aka not finished yet) This is a project in which I intend to gather various visual novel translation projects currently in the works and put them in a big list for all to see. (If you know of any projects or sites that do/are doing this, please tell me, so I can stop wasting my time at once) Backstory as to why I decided to start this unrewarding project: How this project will proceed: Process to achieve it: I just need to organize them myself, no problems here. Progress: Organizing what I have now. -------3------- Plan: Keep all the links updated and keep all the projects in their correct categories (check phase 2). Process to achieve it: Check the various visual novels on the list weekly for changes in status, and look at the more recent visual novels for translation projects to add to the list. Progress: Not started yet. Obstacles: The main problem here would be me. If for some reason I can't post here, check the status or suddenly got hit with some terrible laziness, this would be left behind. How to fix this? Bash me as hard as you can if I let myself fall behind schedule. My conscience just can't let me ignore the pleads of random people on the internet. ---------------Compilation---------------- WIP (Seriously, don't even bother looking at it right now, it's empty) Give me a few hours days while I work on what I have, afterwards I'll continue with phase 1. Active: Tsuma Shibori [Translation Page] - Patch available; Translates the interface and part of the prologue. Kyonyuu Fantasy [Translation Page] - Patch Available; Inactive: --2013/03/04-- Qualiaffordance [Translation Page] - Demo available; But it's just a partial translation made with visual novel reader, pretty much nothing, really. --2013-- Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient [Translation Page] - Currently stalled until further notice. --2013/01/07-- Madou Koukaku ~Yami no Tsuki Megami wa Doukoku de Utau~ [Translation Page] - Patch available; Translates the interface. Companies: Boku ga Tenshi ni Natta Wake [Translation Page] - Companies ans Translation Groups: Memories of Fear - Translates various Corpse Party games, both official and fanmade.

I question your definition of 'close'... Nononono, after seeing we were onto them, they simply sent a brainwashed zombie to give us a false idea. Do you actually think that anyone that votes on number 5 would have human emotion? They just snicker at us from afar, in their 1st place spotlight.

Dammit, and yet I insist in putting it off. I'm such a scaredy cat....

What parts constitute the 10%, then?

What's this?! Although I totally agree with you, it's simply blasphemy to just come out and critique that game. Bad, very bad. Can't you see that's the besteste thing in the universe other than sausages?

Yes, please do. But look! Your vote is currently for number 5, you wouldn't want to damage your, oh so precious, integrity would you? Better change to 8, right? I can't help but notice that ever since the admin showed up not even some of the more... insistent voters (babiker), spoke up again. Did you... coerce them? I was personally dealing with Kendjin's men in black so I couldn't do anything for a while. But now I'm back! You know what I call this? Oppression! Oppression I say! ------------------------------Off-Topic-------------------------------- Please vote for whichever number you want, as long as it's not any other than 7

Er... Yeah, it's fairly useful to say what game it is you're having issues with. >.>

Whatever you're paying them, pay me 3/4s and I'll shut up. (Your trademark smiley, to give you a false sense of connection)

I told you, you're too fickle. You keep jumping about between the various numbers, and yet, you try to keep your integrity (or what of it you still posses) intact. That said, yes... Whomever worked on 2 did a terrific job. Bellow is a master plan to take over the voting process. No mods allowed. That's... that's a terrible stab in the knee. It's simply foul that you'd choose those imperialists over the plebeians... *sob sob* But I'll keep my composure, apology accepted. I'll just... go to bed and... cry... all night.

Funny thing. Everytime I drop a visual novel because I found it too boring, when I go and check the writer, it's always the same one, Romeo Tanaka. I guess I'm too stupid to understand his stories? I dunno, but I don't like him.

Ha! Lovely, I'm immune to this curse! Also, please don't switch to 7 after posting that. It would probably get the entry nullified. (Totalynotaploytohaveyouvoteforus)

This is clearly a case of lack of information. According to your signature your currently reading Grisaia no Kajistu. You just haven't found your true love for Michiru yet. I won't blame you. Keep with your beliefs to the end, Sachi is a good person. (And finish reading in the next 24 hours so you can change your vote <3)

Psst! *whisper* Good excuse

Of course, if you were, I'd be in trouble. (Although I'm not quite as radical as some others. I'm a good little boy, so don't nullify entry 7 )
