[flat palm]

oh you beat me toit

[steep scarab]

3 of em

[stuck copper]

See

It is what I thought

[steep scarab]

1 for USS, 1 for HMS, 1 for IJN/IRN

[stuck copper]

It's probably

For having the oath skins

[steep scarab]

not sure what EN is getting for IJN/IRN tho

[stuck copper]

Cause the 4 seem to be

Poi, Aya, Enty and Belfast

All which have oath skins

[flat palm]

that new loli in light build is hideous, i wish i didnt have to look at her everytime i open build screen

she actually is so damn ugly

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

Poot do you have poi oathed?

@steep scarab

[steep scarab]

nop

[stuck copper]

That would explain it

It might be linked to oaths

[steep scarab]

the poi border is CN only

Ayaya for JP

[stuck copper]

Oh ho

I thought you said you got 3 though

[steep scarab]

idk if en gets the borders tho

you get a uss, an hms and an IJN/IRN

[stuck copper]

Hmm

[steep scarab]

honestly idk if en gets the borders cuz i have little info about it

[flat palm]

@steep scarab is there a video of new lulu l2d yet

[steep scarab]

[flat palm]

all your server is good for is emotes for me

[steep scarab]

and news

[flat palm]

@steep scarab but i can just ask you for that

[steep scarab]

lazy

[flat palm]

i'm in class so i wont open dm's btw

[stuck copper]

Lol

Time to lewd Aki's dms

[flat palm]

[stuck copper]

lewd urself before u rek urself

[flat palm]

that channel name for maint chat is interesting

then again, this discord isnt very sjw, if this was an mmo discord people would lose their shit

[stuck copper]

people are so mean to bache

[flat palm]

shes really ugly lol

[stuck copper]

shes not !

[flat palm]

her facial expression turns me off

it's so... bad lol, she has like a pre-emptive ahegao face that doesnt suit her at all

[stuck copper]

😔 its just a naughty face

[flat palm]

on a 1.30meter long loli

[stuck copper]

ya its cute

[flat palm]

[stuck copper]

dumb bache

yes shes dumb, so we should go easy on her

[steep scarab]

did some digging up regarding banner

apparently it's based on the top 3 from the last popularity poll
JP popularity poll

1. Payfast
2. Enterprise
3. Ayaya

CN popularity poll

1. Enterpise
2. Payfast
3. Poi

[stuck copper]

payfast?

[steep scarab]

belfast

i call it payfast cuz wows

[stuck copper]

[steep scarab]

[stuck copper]

o

[flat palm]

@steep scarab i named my lime for Catfast

[steep scarab]

[flat palm]

@steep scarab i said i in class, no dm spam pls ;w;

Btw apparently the collab they teased is ONLY the yamashiro skin, which is jp exclusive cause its tied to a department store

but shoukaku and belfast are seperate skins thattl be released later on

[verbal obsidian]

[flat palm]

actually im not even sure if they are skins

might be like that belfast and enty cafe things that were just cards

the yamashiro collab thing im sure of, the rest not

[verbal obsidian]

[flat palm]

one things for sure, they arent collab skins

which kinda made sense considering all the other skins shown at the same time there, some existing

[stuck copper]

The main reason I don't think they're cards

Is because they're both shown alongside actual ingame skins

While the others were never shown as such

[flat palm]

yeah, im sure their not collab skins since i checked thoroughly

so they must be non collab skins

[stuck copper]

Not to mention

Shoukek has like Zui been needing a skin for a while

And Belfast was the most popular on JP

If anything I'm surprised she didn't get a party skin sooner to be fair

[flat palm]

my guess is they are a part of the next event

maybe italian ships?

[stuck copper]

Possibly

[warm bluff]

[wintry sonnet]

jesus christ lul

[void hill]

hello my fellow degens

[wintry sonnet]

I wake up and first thing in my video feed is about how the new 2K's NBA game has literal slot machine and wheel of fortune game tied to their lootboxes

level of selfawarness so low they can't even tell when they enter a room

[stuck copper]

Lol

Hello Nekki

[warm bluff]

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

gl everyone

[wintry sonnet]

wow

barely logged in, immediately kicked out because game's out of date

[errant burrow]

Alright. This Lulu skin is absolutely perfect

[wintry sonnet]

wow

this is just taking the piss

first 20 rolls, 2 denvers, monty and akashi

and lena

couldn't have done that when I was actually rolling for them, nope

[warm bluff]

rolling is too tempting, i'm gonna do a single 10 pull and stop

ok jk i meant 2 10 pulls

[wintry sonnet]

2 Black Princes and no Bache

after 40 rolls

5% vs 2.5%, sounds about right

[stuck copper]

Ok

Sandy is at the final step

Easy mode

Now I wait

[warm bluff]

i gave in to temptation and threw all my cubes at le temeraire, still nothing

[tough burrow]

1 BP and 2 Bache after 14 rolls (my dock was full, so it ended up being 14)

[wintry sonnet]

Why does it seem more than coincidence that every mod seems to be a massive luccsac

[tough burrow]

dunno

[wintry sonnet]

including ex-mods

[tough burrow]

I was one even before I joined mod team

[wintry sonnet]

seems legit

also wtf is this

what is this sorting

[tough burrow]

popularity vote

[wintry sonnet]

no I know it's a popularity vote

[tough burrow]

oh that

[wintry sonnet]

but wtf is this sorting

[warm bluff]

can i vote against a ship

i wanna vote against le temeraire

[wintry sonnet]

not by hull type, not by name

not by faction

the shit is this

[tough burrow]

shame no voice tho

[stuck copper]

Looks like

I have a Lime buillding

[wintry sonnet]

zzzz

[flat palm]

Wtf baltimore is rank 1 so far?

[wintry sonnet]

I think my money hasn't arrived yet

[stuck copper]

I kind of expected that

[wintry sonnet]

either that or google pay's being a dick

[flat palm]

I expected anything but baltimore

Shes new and has a nice skin

[tough burrow]

lol

o
there IS a voice

I just had to restart the game

[wintry sonnet]

yup, google's being a dick

it should work

[rustic blaze]

Got Ahegao Loli not Black Prince though

[steep scarab]

btw did you also got uhh

[stuck copper]

Apparently

People are voting enty

[steep scarab]

the border?

icons?

[wintry sonnet]

the ones from avrora event or

is there some new ones

[steep scarab]

the new ones?

[wintry sonnet]

nothing popped up yet for me

tho I haven't casted any votes yet

[steep scarab]

o

rip

[wintry sonnet]

the sorting's so ass I can't find yuubari to save my life

[steep scarab]

o ye

[stuck copper]

Yeah just looked

Apparently enty is votable when she shouldn't be

[steep scarab]

anyone cleared any map?

[wintry sonnet]

7 days only to buy the skins

why am I not surprised

[stuck copper]

Jesus

Roon is high up

For once

[steep scarab]

she's not votable in CN/JP

[stuck copper]

Yikes

So what good is the vote if we have different votes

[flat palm]

Shes so adorable

[steep scarab]

like your waifu

[flat palm]

I voted for amagi

[wintry sonnet]

eh, I was on the fence of buying raiden skins anyway, so I guess these 2 will be the ones to poach off for the time being

[steep scarab]

Anyone have cleared a map?

[wintry sonnet]

google pay's being a dick

[stuck copper]

Event map <

[wintry sonnet]

uh

wait, poot

you sure there are actual border and icons?

[stuck copper]

I don't think we have them

[wintry sonnet]

I'm checking the style page and there's nothing new

[steep scarab]

im not sure tbh

[stuck copper]

[steep scarab]

for en

[wintry sonnet]

JustENthings then

[steep scarab]

my net went shite

[stuck copper]

Remember when we caught up so that we got things on time

I don't

[warm bluff]

What's black prince's skills?

[stuck copper]

Erm she is basically

A sirius that gets boosted with USS botes

[steep scarab]

it's on the wiki

[urban musk]

Black Prince
Skill: When with USN ships, buff main gun's crit rate by 40% and FP/TP by 20%
Skill 2: Drop a smoke at the beginning of battle and procs every 15s at 30%. Smoke increases evasionr ate by 40% for 5s

Buche
Skill: Reduce air damage by 30% for herself and when AA gun is firing, has a 25% chance of proccing for 8s and increasing AA

[stuck copper]

Like I said

A Sirius used with USS

[warm bluff]

Is that 40% additive or multiplicative? That looks like it could be really strong

[wintry sonnet]

depending on her stats, she might actually be pretty damn stronk with those buffs

[stuck copper]

She's about the same as sirius

[flat palm]

I'll try a multi and see if i get her

[stuck copper]

From what I remember

[wintry sonnet]

well, Sirius specifically needs to sortie with carriers tho

[steep scarab]

Still waiting for someone to clear map

[wintry sonnet]

BP can work with anything that has burgers in its diet

[flat palm]

Ewww

I got 2 bache

Instead

And an akashi

[wintry sonnet]

got bache after 40 rolls

had to pull 2 black princes first tho

[steep scarab]

i got bache on the first cube

[wintry sonnet]

Truly amazingly tho

only 1 San Diego

pulled Monty, Akashi and Sandy

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I'm kinda tempted to keep that akashi tbh

[stuck copper]

There

For the sake of your laziness

[wintry sonnet]

kek

wait, is that for lvl 100?

or lvl 120

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

120

[wintry sonnet]

oh, fair enough

cause I looked at my 100 Sirius and I was like "no way she has higher stats than her"

she's actually not that far away either

[stuck copper]

Like I said

She's basically Sirius for USS

Without the CV issue

[wintry sonnet]

with a fat crit bonus on top of it

[stuck copper]

That's essentially it

[wintry sonnet]

so, just to confirm

are the ballots from point milestones just a 1 time thing for the whole event

or will they reset whenever a new round comes up

[stuck copper]

No clue

[wintry sonnet]

I mean it says "qualifiers" on the page

and it's like a week's time

you'd think that means it resets every cycle

[stuck copper]

hahahahahahahahahaha

@steep scarab So

What did you want to know

About clearing a map?

[steep scarab]

this image

[stuck copper]

our lord and savior rngesus

Yes I got that

[steep scarab]

basically point the chibis to where the manjuu is facing

[stuck copper]

I did that too

[steep scarab]

[wintry sonnet]

as in, point them where the arrow is pointing, right?

not literally point them so they're facing the manjuu

[warm bluff]

Cute!

[wintry sonnet]

dafuq is a certificate of support

[stuck copper]

It means

The ballot tickets

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

Who to vote for

[warm bluff]

I'm voting for nick even if she has no chance of winning

[stuck copper]

That's a good question

[warm bluff]

Vote for nick

[wintry sonnet]

I dont get this sandy minigame

[stuck copper]

Tldr

You need to match them

And shuffle

[tough burrow]

have you read the explanation first?

[stuck copper]

To make open routes

[wintry sonnet]

I did

[tough burrow]

you need to connect same girls

[wintry sonnet]

but when I try to "draw a line"

or pick 2 same portraits

[tough burrow]

line can only break twice

[wintry sonnet]

nothing happens

no line shows up

[stuck copper]

Like Res said

Only 2 corners can be made

[wintry sonnet]

I get what the description says, but it doesnt do shit

[tough burrow]

cos they need to break more than twice

[stuck copper]

[tough burrow]

to do what you trying to do

and they can't do that

[stuck copper]

Hence why the shuffle button exists

Which is spammable

[wintry sonnet]

when you say break twice I understand they can still keep going in a straight line

which they do

[stuck copper]

2 corners see

[wintry sonnet]

doesn't work for this sandy

[urban basin]

Push Bismarck to #1

[wintry sonnet]

I'm trying to connect her to the other xmas sandy and nothing

[tough burrow]

it can't cross other girls

[urban basin]

[stuck copper]

Also that sandy

Like Restart said

It can't cross over

[warm bluff]

Unicorn isn't on the list?

[stuck copper]

Yeah she is

[tough burrow]

everyone is on the list

[stuck copper]

About half way down

[warm bluff]

I mean the top 10

[wintry sonnet]

See, this is what I'm talking about

[stuck copper]

Oh

Well because you see

[tough burrow]

WHY IS MY WAIFU NOT IN THE LIST
cos you blind m8

[stuck copper]

People aren't degenerates

[wintry sonnet]

even without crossing, you could still connect the 2 xmas sandies with 2 line breaks

[stuck copper]

That vote

[tough burrow]

no you can't

there's no free space around it

they need to touch if they're in the middle of the grid

[stuck copper]

Touching tips

[wintry sonnet]

See, this is the issue I'm talking about

it doesn't say that in the info

[warm bluff]

Oh well, i have faith in jp to vote for unicorn so I'm still gonna vote for Nick

[wintry sonnet]

it doesnt say you cant go through other portraits

[stuck copper]

Well that should be self explanatory to be fair

[wintry sonnet]

or that you can make the line around them like this

except it's not

[stuck copper]

Most of these match games tend to not do that

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

There's usually rules the games follow

this is a pretty easy matching game, why does it look like you guys are making it so difficult

[tough burrow]

that's like
being extremely fucking pedantic
about "should-be-obvious" rules

[warm bluff]

The line can also come out the screen and make 2 corner turns to wherever it wants

[stuck copper]

I suppose the better example

Would be that it uses tile matching rules + marjong rules

[tough burrow]

"O, rules say bend twice, but I can do it with only one bend, see? Game should accept it"

[wintry sonnet]

Well, does the rules say you can't do that?

[steep scarab]

get bent restart

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

Lol

[wintry sonnet]

oh, they don't

[stuck copper]

Poot

[wintry sonnet]

they just say you can't bend the line more than twice

[stuck copper]

But generally if you could go through stuff

[tough burrow]

Bend twice?
How about
Bend zero-ce
This is technically curve, not a bend, so I should be able to do so"

[stuck copper]

It'd make it super easy

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

now you're just being facetious

[steep scarab]

logically speaking

it bends twice or thrice

[tough burrow]

I am

[steep scarab]

restart spreading misleading info

[warm bluff]

Why even make it bend, just draw a straight line even if it's diagonal, no bends

[wintry sonnet]

sorry if I'm being nitpicky, but literally nothing in the rules makes you think that's how it should be played

so as far as I'm concerned I'm in the right not to get it instantly

[stuck copper]

I mean you pick it up after like 30 seconds of sitting there wondering what to do

[wintry sonnet]

I've never played a match game like this

[stuck copper]

[frank ingot]

I really wish there was a tutorial for this event

was pretty lost for a solid minute

[stuck copper]

Also Duke of York at 78th place

[frank ingot]

Bismarck sunk hood in the polls just like in the story

[tough burrow]

positions don't matter for at least a couple of days

It'll fluctuate as fuck

[stuck copper]

Amagi numbah wan

akashi

[tough burrow]

just so everyone knows - I'm voting only for lulu

[wintry sonnet]

I'm amazed graf made it to top 15 to begin with, even if for a brief moment

[stuck copper]

[warm bluff]

NA players all say waifu>meta but all those ships in top 10 are either SR or meta ships or both

[stuck copper]

Graf is epic mommy

[wintry sonnet]

that 6th place enterprise tho is pretty funny

[tough burrow]

eh, that's not fair
they're really popular even if meta

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

wHaT iF mY wAiFu iS a MeTa sHiP

OH MY GOD

[tough burrow]

being waifu does not mean being shit

[wintry sonnet]

"It's because it's the EN skin Enterprise guys, honest"

[stuck copper]

Vampire has great chibi + live2d animations

[flat palm]

Yeah

[stuck copper]

[flat palm]

What restart said

[stuck copper]

its going to be meta>waifu here lol

[tough burrow]

Eugen 9th place
lol meta > waifu

pls

[flat palm]

Amagi is good yes, but shes also very popular even if she wasnt meta

[tough burrow]

Atago 11

also Graf is shit

pls

[stuck copper]

I'm going to be honest

Vampy is probably my fav L2D now

[warm bluff]

I said SR or meta

[stuck copper]

What do the winners get for this poll

[tough burrow]

how being SR relevant?

[stuck copper]

Knowledge they won

[wintry sonnet]

like I said, I have no expectations for the popularity vote

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

so long as there's at least 1 surprise in top 10 I'll be happy

[verbal obsidian]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

YERRRRRRRRR

[stuck copper]

Imagine needing an upset to be happy

[verbal obsidian]

AIR HORNS

HESIOWNAJAOCKCLEOEUSJABDKCOFOE

[stuck copper]

Not gonna lie

That BG is pretty cool

No pants gang

Funny how the game even says now too

"Unique background"

[errant burrow]

Half my votes for Amagi. Other half for Buki

[stuck copper]

I'm gonna split mine between Amagi and Eldy

[verbal obsidian]

im so happy

[wintry sonnet]

good thing I didnt go ham on farming ch 12 2 days ago

[verbal obsidian]

[wintry sonnet]

plenty of oil to spend

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

30 sorties total on ch 12 to get everything

[stuck copper]

Epic win!!!

[tough burrow]

I like how BG option changes basically nothing for Lulu skin

[stuck copper]

[stuck copper]

Bro...

Lol

no pants

[wintry sonnet]

oh look

leaderboards reset

4 days into the round as usual

[stuck copper]

Imagine wearing pants

Man

U-73's voice

They did a good job on it

what a thot

Lol

[flat palm]

She has the bg here too

[wintry sonnet]

well yea, it's cause it's not a bg per se

that's part of her base CG

[flat palm]

Its her best skin imo

Her personality changed alot

Its nice

[stuck copper]

still a thot

[flat palm]

I tried 20 light builds

[wintry sonnet]

I know that voice...

[flat palm]

Got 2 bache 1 sandy 1 akashi no black:c

But i got the last sandy dupe i needed

So not too bad

[wintry sonnet]

Oh shit, U-73's voiced by Sailor Venus

[flat palm]

Sadly i can't play too much AL today, need to grind nerofest

I really want brynhildr

But only got enough for a multi

[stuck copper]

Yeah her voice is great

[wintry sonnet]

oh wait, she's not THE Sailor Venus

she plays Sailor Venus in musicals

[stuck copper]

Lol

[wintry sonnet]

huh, she actually has no entries for any anime, just a straight up musical/movie actress

weird, I could've sworn her voice sounds awfully familiar

[errant burrow]

Look at this precious cutie

[stuck copper]

Fun fact though

Honolulu and Saint Lewdis

Both wear white stockings

[wintry sonnet]

well they don't, really

she just happens to wear white stockings on this CG

[stuck copper]

Yes she does

On her NY

[wintry sonnet]

Lulu doesnt have a NY skin tho, doesn't she

[warm bluff]

Cute

[stuck copper]

No I mean Saint Lewdis

They both wear white on their L2D

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

Sisters alike

[wintry sonnet]

there's a big difference between "both wear white stockings in their L2D"

[stuck copper]

Oh I almost forgot new botes

[wintry sonnet]

and "both wear white stockings"

[stuck copper]

https://yamato.azur-lane.moe/media/1tnj7.png

yeet

Lol

[wintry sonnet]

always found this funny

pretty significant difference

[stuck copper]

Lol

She may not have been super buffed yet but

Sandy feels a lot better now

Do I care enough to retro sandy tho

Same

I need that too

[wintry sonnet]

o

I think I found the least voted ship so far

[stuck copper]

Who is it?

[wintry sonnet]

try and guess

you might be surprised

[stuck copper]

Well at least give a rarity

So I can narrow it down somewhat

[wintry sonnet]

well that one's unsurprising

common

[stuck copper]

Hmm

[wintry sonnet]

I'll narrow it down further

IJN

[stuck copper]

That is surprising

I know Bulldog was like

295 or smth

[wintry sonnet]

bulldog's 258 right now

anyway, care to take a guess who's the least voted ship as of this moment

[stuck copper]

On mine

Says Musketeer

[wintry sonnet]

oh, must've moved then

cause for me it was Kinugasa

[stuck copper]

Yeah

She went up 2

Musketeer is the most disliked atm

Good to know even irrelevant botes get votes

[warm bluff]

Nicholas at 102

[stuck copper]

If Amagi wins this poll does she get wedding skin

[wintry sonnet]

it was funny for a moment tho

cause the highest voted and least voted ships were both IJN

[stuck copper]

Lol

I'll vote for amagi

just so that bisko doesn't win

[wintry sonnet]

voting against someone instead of for someone

[stuck copper]

most of my votes already go to avrora

[wintry sonnet]

reminds me of FEH and Camilla hatetrain

[stuck copper]

Right

The "hatetrain" yet she wins every popularity contest she's in

Funny thing is

Alabama

Is surprisingly high

Choco mom

[wintry sonnet]

wins every popularity contest

she only won once last I played

and it was before they did the multiplier thing

[warm bluff]

I wanna vote against le temeraire

[stuck copper]

I like how

Indy is liked more than portland

[warm bluff]

Portland probably approves

[wintry sonnet]

Concord in 129th place right now

I see many men of culture

[errant burrow]

Hm...now I'm conflicted. I was reminded about Alabama and now I feel the need to vote for her as well

[stuck copper]

Lol

I feel the need to vote for like 20 people

[warm bluff]

I just wanna try to get Nick in the top 100

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

unsurprisingly

highest submarine up right now

albacore

[stuck copper]

[rich gazelle]

Remember to vote Avrora! Best Bote!

Show your server pride

[warm bluff]

[rich gazelle]

[warm bluff]

Albacore cute

[stuck copper]

Eldridge is 71

It's because people want to get her a skin probably

So they can post her on server

y'all better vote for @marble relic OR ELSE

can i anti-vote nimi?

I'm already conflicted on who to vote on

Cause isn't she the only bote

Please don't remind me of more

[wintry sonnet]

sure, just vote for Laffey

[stuck copper]

That can't really be posted on the server in anyway shape or form?

[wintry sonnet]

and be the basic boy

[stuck copper]

Besides like the head

ill just vote for hamm and iroha

inb4 sandy server memes us all with san diego

If that happens

You should've gone for the head

I'd laugh my ass off

[wintry sonnet]

unironically, I'd be ok with that

[stuck copper]

If that happens

[wintry sonnet]

if only because it'd be quite a redemption arc

[stuck copper]

We should make a bet with the staff

[warm bluff]

I'll ring Sandy if she wins lol

[stuck copper]

Lmfao

[wintry sonnet]

from a complete meme of an SSR to the top popular ship

[stuck copper]

The official icon should be changed to Sandy

tbh i was expecting that everyone get like 1 vote, not this whole "oh, the more you play, the more votes you get"

I'll retro Sandy and scrap her if she gets first

Like for real

Make the server icon Sandy

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

Kinda makes sense ig

[rich gazelle]

Its okay, this way i can show my raging fanaticism for Avrora bote

[wintry sonnet]

but again, it'll depend on how easy in reality it will be to cap out on oil

[stuck copper]

@rich gazelle is she ur first ringed ship doe

[wintry sonnet]

if it gets to the point where you just can't do it on natural regen alone then that's a problem

[rich gazelle]

[rich gazelle]

Raging FANATICISM

[wintry sonnet]

either would've gone for Concord or Dunkerque, but I guess Concord since it doesnt even show the skin you use, just the base one

[stuck copper]

Unless it like saves whatever you had the moment you open it

[wintry sonnet]

holy shit that's right

Unicorn's not in top 15 right now

for EN

[stuck copper]

unicorn is getting my next 10 votes

[warm bluff]

I feel better about wasting my votes on Nicholas since unicorn is probably gonna win the other servers

[stuck copper]

unicorn needs wholesome love

But yeah Aquan

@dense wing where's ur unicorn votes HUH

I managed to swap my sec to Essex asap

[wintry sonnet]

lolicons eating one another right now because they don't know which loli to vote for right now

@dense wing vote Eldridge

[wintry sonnet]

[rich gazelle]

@dense wing maybe 9 votes for uni, set aside 1 vote for avrora pls c;

[stuck copper]

i think im probably just gonna split my votes between all my fav ships (basically all the ones Saru drew)

kawaa gonna wake up to all these pings and be like

[wintry sonnet]

no point spamming her retrofit nodes right away, I'll just take my time and get there until next week

[warm bluff]

I'm going all in for nicholas, need to push her to top 100

[stuck copper]

i might show some love to musketeer, get her out of last place lol

[rich gazelle]

If everyone set aside at least 1 vote ticket for avrora, maybe she'll be #2 c:

[warm bluff]

Musketeer cute

[stuck copper]

and for @rich gazelle's sake, ill vote once for Avrora

[rich gazelle]

YASSSSS

[wintry sonnet]

tfw Enterprise and Belfast are already in top 15

[stuck copper]

maybe 2 if im feeling generous

lol the name of that emote :flippy_hands:

avrora votes

Lol the bot

[wintry sonnet]

avrora votes

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

posts with the bot to vote for her

Oh...

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

lmao @marble relic trying to get in some self-promotion

[wintry sonnet]

you can actually click the ranking

to scroll through

well that makes it easier

[stuck copper]

Lol

[stuck copper]

she is in 8th tho

[wintry sonnet]

you know what's interesting

they said there'll be 298 characters total, excluding the hall of famers

but even tho all 3 of them are in the vote, it still says 298

which means someone got fucked

[warm bluff]

Bulin at 84

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I wonder who's the 3 ships that didnt make it into the vote, just cause the hall of famers are still there

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

also fun fact, as of this time, we have 59 SSR ships on EN

but only 42 commons

88 rares and 111 elites

[warm bluff]

So it's some weird gaussian distribution of rarity

[wintry sonnet]

it does get you thinking

[warm bluff]

I wish we had more common ships

[wintry sonnet]

come to think of it

when even was the last time they added a new common

chapter 10?

[somber halo]

mikazuki?

[wintry sonnet]

it was either chapter 10 or the KMS event

[warm bluff]

Mikazuki cute

[wintry sonnet]

whichever was last

since then, not one common ship

anyone knows how the voting's going on JP?

since you know, that's what's gonna matter anyways for who gets an oath skin

[stuck copper]

[somber halo]

is that what all this is about?

oh well amagi is leading atm

[stuck copper]

[somber halo]

but regardless

mutsuki still needs your votes

[stuck copper]

Amagi wedding skin

[somber halo]

more like hospital gown

[warm bluff]

Since amagi will probably win on multiple servers, will the next runner up get a wedding skin instead?

[clear gate]

No, Amagi will get two wedding skins!!!

[somber halo]

i think runner up is either bisko or taihou

[wintry sonnet]

well so far top 3 on CN's Laffey, FDG and unicorn

for EN it's Amagi Bisko taihou

no clue about JP

[somber halo]

there we go

[warm bluff]

I'm hoping CN can keep unicorn in top 3

[wintry sonnet]

@oblique mantle ebil pls

[stuck copper]

FDG

[somber halo]

amagi and bisko gave feels to ppl when their events came out

taihou is just top lewd

[wintry sonnet]

we need your JP insider info

[clear gate]

I'm not shocked that Unicorn is more popular than Illustrious

[somber halo]

well ya kno

the more meta the bote is, the more they get used, then the more publicity that bote gets

[warm bluff]

[tough burrow]

I wonder who's the 3 ships that didnt make it into the vote, just cause the hall of famers are still there
nah, we just have all ships enabled afaik

[wintry sonnet]

eh

wouldn't the info state the number without the 3 hall of famers then

unless they just straight up forgot to remove them

[stuck copper]

https://yamato.azur-lane.moe/media/dt30d.png

[tough burrow]

as in - EN doesn't have anyone in hall of fame

[stuck copper]

look at this skrub

[somber halo]

probably just direct translation and forgot to remove

[tough burrow]

they're technically removed, but we have 0 hall of fame ships

[somber halo]

pls

[tough burrow]

[wintry sonnet]

so, basically

[somber halo]

they like lolis and they are voting for bisko

smh

[wintry sonnet]

we get the kiddy pool version of the popularity vote

[somber halo]

bisko is not a loli

[wintry sonnet]

and it all doesn't matter

[tough burrow]

?

wdym

each server has their own popularity vote

[somber halo]

yes, can we have a separate pool between the onee-chans and the lolis

no? okay 😔

[wintry sonnet]

sure, but the whole hubbub about having top ships is so they'll get prioritized to get an oath skin, no?

that's how the last popularity vote went

[somber halo]

oath mutsuki pls

[tough burrow]

well, noone promised it afaik

that's just what people assume since last time it was like that

[somber halo]

idk where you guys got the word of oath skins

[wintry sonnet]

let's be real res, it's heavily implied

[tough burrow]

not really

[stuck copper]

i am voting for atago, and atago only

[tough burrow]

again - that's what people assume

[stuck copper]

Tbf

[urban musk]

it was never announced for En

[stuck copper]

she has an oath skin and isn't meta

[tough burrow]

Nothing implied it

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

What restart said is true here

ppl voting for thots

[urban musk]

people assume at their own loss

[stuck copper]

smh

Nothing was ever said about oath skins

[somber halo]

yeah dont vote for thots

[stuck copper]

They just so happened to get them

im gonna laugh when everyone is expecting a new oath skin and the devs are like, "yea we never said anything about oath skins, sucks to be you guys"

[somber halo]

vote for mutsuki

[stuck copper]

People just assumed that was the case

[somber halo]

[stuck copper]

well, amagi is literal cancer, so there's that

[tough burrow]

I'm not saying 2 things are not connected btw

[clear gate]

Vote Helena, the true queen

[tough burrow]

just that it was never promised

[stuck copper]

Oh of course not

I approve of helena votes

But to assume it's guaranteed is silly

[somber halo]

helena got a lot of skins over the past year

[warm bluff]

Helena cute

[clear gate]

Wow, something Yamato and I agree on? The world's fucking ending

[stuck copper]

or if they do give us oath skins, then they give us bulin/purin oath skins and be like "fuck your popularity votes" lmao

[somber halo]

like since EN came out, helena's popularity went boom

[wintry sonnet]

just sayin, "happened to get them" seems like a big coincidence when all of the top 5 ships from JP's popularity vote ended up with skins

[tough burrow]

Like
they didn't removed ships not from hall of fame that HAVE oath skins

[wintry sonnet]

it's safe to assume they do use the result to push their priorities in this matter

[stuck copper]

Let's not forget though

Popularity = more likely to sell for big bucks

So it's not necessarily tied to the vote itself

[clear gate]

^

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

After all they know more popular botes are more likely to make monez

[wintry sonnet]

except when its shoukaku

[tough burrow]

so not like us having ships from HoF means something just because they can't get second oath skin

[clear gate]

Popularity is how Manjuu does targeted marketing

[stuck copper]

You're joking there Aquan

[clear gate]

:3

[tough burrow]

neither can Lusty, yet you can vote for her

[stuck copper]

People literally complained for years about 0 Zkk / Skk skins

[wintry sonnet]

and she was like 9th

in JP's popularity poll

above Akagi even

guess who's got the oath skin and who hasn't

[stuck copper]

That just proves my point

That just because something is popular

Doesn't mean it's guaranteed anything

[warm bluff]

Wasn't unicorn in top 10 last time too?

[ornate mantle]

What’re people complaining about today.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

[warm bluff]

Azu!

[wintry sonnet]

I never said it's guaranteed

[ornate mantle]

Luna!

[warm bluff]

Guess what I'm complaining about today!

[stuck copper]

People assume it is for the oath skin though

[wintry sonnet]

just that it's heavily likely and implied due to how the last popularity poll happened to coincide with a lot of oaths

[stuck copper]

Hence why restart shut it down

[tough burrow]

ye, you just heavily implied it, Aq

[ornate mantle]

No Nick Oath Skin?

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

Just because something coincides with something

[wintry sonnet]

Well if you think I'm wrong, point me what I'm getting wrong

[stuck copper]

Doesn't mean anything though

[warm bluff]

I went all in and still no le temeraire

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

last I checked all the oaths we got since the popularity vote happened to be in the top of popularity
