VOTING: 2009 Aquamarine 1 - 16 March

[Demi.]

>>Kamio Misuzu (AIR) Kirisame Marisa (TMK)
Marisa deserves my vote but I've sworn to hatevote touhou this entire contest and I will not surrender my ideology.

You just did.

My mistake, was reading your predictions and not your picks.

[Corni]

For someone that stand with own ideology... you pretty good kevo...

[Cecaniah]

Well, I might aswell join the bandwagon.

My votes will be edited in once I've decided.

Arena 1
Hanyu vs Shana
Voting for Shana because I saw the 4th manga volume will be out in June. That's get's me a little more pro-Shana.

Arena 2
Mikoto vs Shiori
Mikoto seems the better choice here.

Arena 3
Hinagiku vs Sayuri
Hinagiku is the better choice. IMO

Arena 4
Mai vs Yuki
Don't like Mai, voting for Yuki

Arena 5
Maria vs Tomoyo
Tomoyo is superior.

Arena 6
Mikuru vs Rika
Nipa~!

Arena 7
Misuzu vs Marisa
I don't like either girl here, but I refuse to abstain and am still a little sour at the Touhous. So Misuzu

Arena 8
Amu vs Nagi
Voting for Amu here. But I don't know who will win. But I think I'll go out on a limb and say Amu.

Arena 9
Index vs Yuhi
Index is more moe in my opinion.

Arena 10
Ayu vs Suigintou
Suigintou will win.

Arena 11
Saber vs Holo
Holo is better, also, Holo will have more support because of Spice and Wolf second season.

Arena 12
C.C. vs Nayuki
Obvious things are obvious.

Arena 13
Rena vs Evangeline
Rena is better in my opinion.

Arena 14
Mei vs Haruhi
I don't know why, but I don't really like Haruhi...

Arena 15
Shiki vs Osaka
I can't explain this one.

Arena 16
Alice vs Shinku
Shinku seems superior. Though it was a little difficult choosing.

[maglor]

The Touhou, Shugo Chara, and ToraDora faction's strength is still yet unknown, thus it is not possible to make any predictions at this point. After 3 or 4 matches, we should see the big picture emerging. In the mean time, here are my vote plans

to save spaceShow

1. Furude Hanyuu over Shana : yes, I'm doing tactical vote for Akari, right off the bat.

2. Misaka Shiori over Misaka Mikoto : Tough call, but I think Shiori had more screen time.

3, Katsura Hinagiku over Kurata Sayuri : Sorry Sayuri, but there aren't many I would vote over Hinagiku

4. Nagato Yuki over Kawasumi Mai : Yuki is superior

5. Maria over Sakagami Tomoyo : Very, very tough call, but Sancta Maria will get my vote

6. Furude Rika over Asahina Mikuru : Coin toss

7. Kamio Misuzu over Kirisame Marisa : I just know Misuzu better

8. Hinamori Amu over Sanzennin Nagi : Nagi just isn't my type

9. Katagiri Yuuhi over Index : Yuuhi is a very underrated character. There is lot to be liked about her.

10. Suigintou over Tsukimiya Ayu : I recently read Rozen Maiden manga again.

11. Saber over Horo : My Shameless Tactical Vote #2.

12. Minase Nayuki over C.C. : C.C. just isn't my type

13. Evangeline McDowell over Ryugu Rena : I don't know, but I just don't feel like voting for Rena

14. Sunohara Mei over Suzumiya Haruhi : Haruhi isn't my type, neither.

15. Ryogi Shiki over Osaka : Shiki can be moe in her own ways

16. Alice Carroll over Shinku : another tough one. a coin toss, actually.

17. Shameimaru Aya over Hiiragi Tsukasa : shameless blatant tactical vote #3.

18. Mizunashi Akari over Kinomoto Sakura : My A.F.A.A. friends, 'There is NO Tomorrow!' Last year, 4 had perfect 9-0 records at the end of Aquamarine period and 9 had only one loss by the end of Aquamarine period. It is almost impossible to have less than 2 characters with 9 wins for the Aquamarine period, thus it will take a ISML destroying magnitude tactical voting to make Akari take the necklace with record of 8 wins and 1 loss, and I would rather have Akari go winless than to see that happening. If Akari is to win Aquamarine necklace, she has to start winning, Right Here. And Sorry Sakura. I will make sure to vote for you after this match.

19. Hiiragi Kagami over Louise : I like Kagami and don't like Louise

20. Yagami Hayate over Vita : I'm going with the master here.

21. Furukawa Nagisa over Sawatari Makoto : Nagisa's stock is on the rise. I still think Tomoya should find himself alone with Kyou since 5 years of mourning has past.

22. Chiba Kirino over Fate Testarossa : Golden Lion is a win

23. Kawazoe Tamaki over Anya Alstreim : Tactical vote be blasted, I like Tamaki, not Anya

24. Hakurei Remu edges Chii : I have to give Touhou faction something to not commit themselves against AFAA cause.

25. Izumi Konata over Yami : Konata just has more to be liked compared to Yami

26. Takamachi Nanoha over Remilia Scarlet : My consolation gift to Nanoha faction for voting against Fate

27. Kusieda Minori over Suiseiseki : In Moe circuits, Suiseiseki never fails to scare me, but she just isn't my type.

28. Nagi edges Kawashima Ami : Coin toss

29. Kouzuki Kallen over Illya : Kallen has huge edge on screen time.

30. Aisaka Taiga edges Tohsaka Rin : Coin Toss again.

31. Fujibayashi Kyou over Ibuki Fuko : I would choose the Thigh over Starfish every time.

32. Kotomi over Knowledge : String Theory for the Win!!

[Cecaniah]

And part 2 of my votes and predictions, since most people don't notice edits.

Arena 17
Aya vs Tsukasa
I had a hard choice here. I don't want to support Touhou, and I don't want to help Mad Dog. I also partially don't really like Lucky Star. Going with Aya because of not really noticing her existance out of the Touhous. But I can't predict this one, it really depends on who has more fans, or who does the best campaigning.

Arena 18
Sakura vs Akari
Just lending a helping hand.

Arena 19
Kagami vs Louise
I don't like Louise.

Arena 20
Hayate vs Vita
Master is better. Can't predict though.

Arena 21
Nagisa vs Makoto
Nagisa is better

Arena 22
Kirino vs Fate
No challenge.

Arena 23
Anya vs Tamaki
Do I really need to say why?

Arena 24
Chii vs Reimu
Hopeless character is hopeless. There's no challenge here. But wouldn't it be shocking if Chii won? It's like Kallen beating Fate.

Arena 25
Yami vs Konata
My ISML list can tell you why.

Arena 26
Remilia vs Nahona
I don't like Remilia. But I can't predict. This is one of the matches that will show how well the Touhous will do. Reimu vs Fate will be interesting. But yay for strength decider happening in Canada. Canada wins.

Arena 27
Suiseiseki vs Minori
Desu's moe is like Cancer, very few can escape it. She has had two win's already right?

Arena 28
Nagi vs Ami
No comment on this one.

Arena 29
Kallen vs Illya
I haven't decided yet, but I think Illya will win.

Arena 30
Rin vs Taiga
I don't like Rin.

Arena 31
Kyou vs Fuko
I don't know why.

Arena 32
Kotomi vs Patchouli
Once again, unexplainable.

[Demi.]

It's not a terrible thing to abstain if you don't know or like either character, you know. ^^

Also, I'll vote C.C. and Nagisa(she still is your #3, right?), if you vote Yami and Fate. If you're impartial to those groups, ofc.

Otherwise, I'll just abstain since I wasn't planning on voting in those two groups.

[Cecaniah]

No, I just like throwing my support in one direction.

That would be nice of you. I would also really appreciate if people would help me make C.C. win against Reimu. Because that match is on my birthday and I don't want C.C. to lose on my birthday.

[Demi.]

Well, Reimu is the only real Touhou I support, but it wouldn't take much convincing to make me change my vote, lol...And the 5 or so friends that come with it. I need more friends to command.

[Cecaniah]

Oh. Well, I might be able to convince you if I know what it takes.

There's another bad match on my mom's birthday.

And, for anyone who wants to know, Fate vs Reimu is on May 20th.

[Demi.]

I tend to not look so far in advance. I take one period at a time, for I fear being overwhelmed. heh~
It's like trying to predict the future. Voting trends, etc..could all change drastically by then.

As for what it takes, well, I have five fav's, you should already know three of them. With all the Chinese, I'm wondering if Reimu really does have the advantage, especially with all the Touhou hate around these parts.

[NeZZuri]

It's this thrend supposed to use for pridictions ? =/

[EDIT] can't wait till 16th of Match >< It's killing me ~

[Crisu]

Yes, predict and speculate away.

Although we may use the same thread in the end for results, since I don't think there's a way to police putting responses in a separate place, and I don't want to lock this thread necessarily.

It probably won't be as cluttered as I had thought it would get.

[Talec]

I don't understand what's about those cities? Are only people of this citys alowed to vote?

Arena 2 = ABSTAIN - Not interested.

How dare you to be not interested in the most important Match this March?

sometimes this honesty of other people make me wanna cry...

- Abstain; Don't like them really


Asahina Mikuru (SHnY) Furude Rika (HNKN)

Konjiki no Yami (TLR) Izumi Konata (LS) unsure
not sure now, need more time for voting. Konata is cool as ice bears, but despite her school swimsuit, she doesn't have much moe-qualities in my opinion.

[Crisu]

I don't understand what's about those cities? Are only people of this citys alowed to vote?

The city represents the venue in which a match will take place. It is primarily for our storyline and to promote the international presence of our tournament.

I see how that can be confusing and will update the graphics today to show labels.

[Talec]

Well, first it is confusing, second glance it becomes discriminatory cause I don't see any city of my lovely country Switzerland. xD

But thanks for your answer. At least I'm understanding now.

[minhtam1638]

Well, first it is confusing, second glance it becomes discriminatory cause I don't see any city of my lovely country Switzerland. xD

But thanks for your answer. At least I'm understanding now.

It's unfortunate that we only have room for 32 cities at this moment, and we picked these cities due to geographical placement and population. Nothing I can really do about that.

[Demi.]

Chiba Kirino (BB) Fate Testarossa (MSLN) -
There's not any Vote necessary... Cheating, but awfully pretty Fate wins for sure

Well, you just got your revenge...

All this complacency will be the death of her.
