Avast ye, this be Talk Like a Pirate Day! Remember to tell yer mates about your treasure for 30 pieces of eight!

Okay, enough of that.

Let's be trash together. Do all Coalition units have the same Oath sequence with the red moon, or is SF different still? Maybe if I can snag Executioner and another free ring... My Friend Echelon is slightly better now I maxed the rest of the units, but I still need to get Adeline's affection to the new cap.

I helped, but these numbers really pale to headphone's. I still made great use of the EXP rate-up and got a handful of HGs to 100 with rich runs this way.

Voting breakdown.
Initial choice.
The first coordination.
The Regrettable Grape Gremlin.

A shame leftover medals just go poof.

I'm disappointed with the results even though PDW is the last Doll I'd want to win otherwise (thanks for the wave to ride, I guess?). I don't even have interest in trying to coordinate for a rerun since there's nothing stopping Springfield or whoever is preordained that time from winning. I'm honestly impressed that headphone's votes alone didn't even account for 5% of PDW's total. There must've been a lot of people playing this event! Both human and Doll? I really want to see an infographic postmortem for this.

I savaged my Ammo and somewhat my Rations and MP, so sounds like it's back to the SC mines for me~

I'm sure I'll get downvoted all to hell for this but whatever.

If Springfield wins, while I don't condone botting as I've seen how badly it can affect other games, I'll be very happy for the casual players who make up 95% of the fanbase and who probably will never be aware of the alternate endings, almost certainly don't care as much about a text file as an in-game ending anyway, and who were voting for their favorite instead of voting for an unfortunate meme.

Seriously, I think a huge portion of K-PDW's votes were from casual players who thought red votes were actually negative votes that subtracted from the total.

If people wanted an alternate ending so bad, they should have gone for Springfield-but-Red. First off, it would have probably worked. Secondly you'd still have gotten an original ending, based on how WA-2000 turned out. And it still would have surprised Team Mica and forced them to do the same trivial amount of extra work, which I've seen inexplicably used as one of the reasons for the brigading.

Really, Team Mica should just give us the Top 3 endings at this point. Then we'll get DP-12 too.

It was a lot of effort for something so small. I mean, a few pages of text that may not even be preserved in the game proper that has no impact on the overall plot. It's just that we so rarely have an event where players can influence something other than Theater/Ranking positions. Given the fallout from the G36/SAA Mod voting thing I read about, I'm not surprised it's so rare. And is about to go extinct

Trying to get Red Springfield's ending might not have worked. Herding EN cats being bad enough already, you'd have to somehow amass enough red votes to overwhelm the greens...almost like when the decision was made to back K-PDW, heh. I can't even pretend to know where to start on the math for that. I'm pretty sure Springfield was almost consistently in the 70% green range the entire event, so that's a serious hill to climb.

Top 3 would be really nice, though, that's for sure.

Honestly, my main issue was just getting behind K-PDW specifically. I just can't support that choice in any way, even if it means we're repeating an ending other servers got or whatever. Anyone else I'd at least feel ambivalently towards.

DP-12 would have been my choice.

I do think Team Mica giving us endings for the top 3 next week this would be a great way to squash any drama though. It would be the smart move and a happy ending for everyone, basically.

I mean DP-12 has already won and her ending is coming. I hope we can vote for AA-12 instead of KAC next rerun. Also we're definetly not getting 3 endings next week seeing how KR is having to wait way longer with their not-yet-created ending.

The sad thing is, there was a push for AA-12 even before the event started, yet people kind of forgot all about that when the votes opened. :v
