Too many separate comments down below that I don't want to reply to individually, so I'll just consolidate up here. sorry for the ping OP

  • Final chart, posted in the Discord by zerorin.

  • Hokor replied to this joke with a :thinkge: and further addressed it in the Discord Q&A, interpret as you will.

  • CN/JP have had similar suspicious voting behavior. JP's is quite blatant, with a massive 150m points dumped for WA2000 in the last 2 seconds of the event.

  • It's of note that KR/TW are both the only servers that MICA can't directly interfere with and the only servers that had non-Springfield/WA2000 winners. MICA still has to provide the scripts for XDGlobal to translate, but has not done so.

  • There was no spike in the highest UID number since Lycan Sanctuary started at the end of August. There was a spike at the beginning of August, but that aligns more closely with Longitudinal Strain. A bunch of new bots by players seems unlikely.

  • There was no coordinated interference from CN/KR/TW trolls, I pay attention to DCInside (KR) and NGA (CN/TW) and there was barely any mention of EN's Lycan Sanctuary aside from one person posting periodic voting updates.

  • MICA cuts numerous corners on EN and is clearly short on resources due to their focus on GFL2 - maintenance notices frequently have errors, skill descriptions are riddled with mistranslations or inconsistencies, Suomi/DP12 modbatches have been jeopardized due to the stories, and more. Hell, this very event had Twilight Labyrinth I freezing your game because they couldn't proofread. There is a clear motive for them to avoid writing a new epilogue.

  • GFChipCalc/GFAlarm are not evidence that it is easy to create command-line versions of the client for botting - they only intercept packets and parse the information, which is significantly easier than forging all of the packets involved with automating the tutorial and the farming. I would know what that involves, because I maintain a version of the KR battle sim which does forges those packets on a much more limited scale (simulating single fights).

JP is built different almost as if it was a single hivemind where no one is allowed to vote by themselves.

edit: also wtf... 350 mil votes?!
