/jp/ - Otaku Culture

The finals poll has started?

I tried clicking but I don't think it worked. Sorry!

>writer of KiraKira

I didn't know that, now I'm suddenly very interested.

That's not France Shoujo!

>>3774773

Why?

VOTE KIMI GA NOZOMU EIEN

>>3774760
Damn vandalism!

>>3774776
Because I enjoyed KiraKira a lot, this gives me some idea of what Swan Song will be like. With any of the other games on the list it's a shot in the dark.

B-B-But moogy wants Alt to win!

something's wrong here...

>>3774797
THIS.
We need to get ALT to win as a birthday present for our favourite sunflower dev.

>>3774794
>>3774797
>>3774812
Samefag Moogy

The site has been fixed from VDZ's terrorist attacks.

This is getting fucking ridiculous.

If you really want swan song to win, then vote on the crazy long stuff like MLA.
If any of them wins, it's more than likely that they'd do it as a side project (unlike Baldr Sky which is currently considered 'medium' length).

>>3774863

Or you know ... we could just vote for Swan Song.

Disagree with Moogy and thou shalt be punished.

>>3774863
Only if Swan Song is near the top.

>>3774873
To be quite frank, I really doubt it has a chance to win anymore. If I were a Swan Song supporter myself, I'd go with MLA and pester them to do that side project after Extra.

>>3774759
yeah im lonely too i submitted an add on http://www.iwantapal.com/ tho maybe itll work out for me

I was going to vote SS, not anymore.

Fucking faggot.

>>3774863
Don't fall for the MLA supporter tricks, vote SS

I hope France Shoujo wins. It'll be pretty fucking hilarious.

>>3774905
Hey, Moogy is a bigger terrorist then him. He's the one claiming all of TL wiki follows his views.

Seriously, Swan Song will depress the fuck out of you. Think about it, do you read a VN to be happy, or to be fucking depressed?

>>3774945
Entertainment and catharsis comes from a plethora of emotions.

>>3774885
I'm a friend of one of the staff in Amaterasu he says no one really wants to do Extra and Unlimited therefore they will not be translated as fast as they normally do which means this will be even longer. So no.

>>3774945
Don't be a hypocrite.

Swan Song is the superior depressing game compare to the shit that is France Shoujo.

>>3774952
Proof?

>>3774961
Amaterasu dev here. I can confirm this.

>>3774969
Real Amaterasu dev here and I have no idea what you're talking about.

>>3774969
Ok, bro. Whatever you say.

Space Jam dev here. Vote for Space Jam.

>>3774952
>I'm a friend of one of the staff in Amaterasu he says no one really wants to do Extra and Unlimited therefore they will not be translated as fast as they normally do which means this will be even longer. So no.

Ixrec, the fucking translator, put the series number 2 on his most interested to translate list, a few days ago.

>>3774945
Fuck you, this is /jp/ we want to see people get raped. Besides we all like Yume Miru Kusuri and Saya no Uta.

>>3774979
YMK isn't an utsuge.

Get out furry devs!

If you furry devs really don't want Muv Luv to win, then I will vote on that just to spite you guys!

>>3774977
But he's still going to translate Extra and Unlimited which he said were good but not great. The staff won't have as much motivation.

>>3774979
Nothing to do with YMK. YMK has happy ends. Swan Song is just a fucking punch in your face. Ten times as depressing as Saya.

>>3774977
alternative =/= series

>>3774977
Source? And what was number 1?

swan song supporter here, count me in!

>>3774996
OH SHI-
Actual proof!

>>3774991
that makes it all the more interesting

>>3774997
from their forums:

1) Saihate no Ima
It's Romeo. It's the spiritual successor to Cross Channel. It's supposed to be approximately as immaculate as Cross Channel. Translating SnI may as well be a life dream of mine at this point, but I'm putting it off until I'm damn sure I'm ready for it.
2) MuvLuv Alternative
The top game on EGS, and prolly for damn good reason. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to bring this to the English community? (ofc, I'm insane, so the prospect of tling Extra and Unlimited first fail to count against this)
3) Forest
If Inganock is any indication, I love Liarsoft more than most other eroge companies, and tling their best game would undoubtedly be awesome.
4) Baldr Sky Dive1 "LostMemory"
There's a very strong appeal to tling something very easy and very troperiffic. Virtually no effort, pretty much everyone will like it, and I'll be done in no time. It's a win-win-win.

>>3774996
>Beasts Lair
Oh hello powerlevels

>>3775009
rest

5) Parfait ~Second Brew~
Best romance game ever. A big reason I got into Japanese pop culture in the first place was because they had romance stories I actually liked, instead of the cliche subplot miracles I'm used to seeing.
6) Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a shooting star-
One of the best moege ever. As most of you will recall, I am a moefag, so this has to be on my list somewhere.
7) Rui wa Tomo wo Yobu
Not so much personal interest in the story so much as the appeal of the insane localization challenge. I will likely hold off on this until I get a chance to redo my CC translation (since localizing some of the gags will be a goal of that).
8) ???
9) ???
10) ???

>>3774996
It's funny how he probably didn't even play it and just take Ixrec's opinion as the words of God.

>>3775009
>4) Baldr Sky Dive1 "LostMemory"
>There's a very strong appeal to tling something very easy and very troperiffic. Virtually no effort, pretty much everyone will like it, and I'll be done in no time. >It's a win-win-win.

This is why I want it to win.

I question your sexuality if you don't vote for this after seeing this banner.

>As a deep, realistic human drama, Swan Song's key selling point is its characterization, and that is absolutely rock solid.
>The plot starts with a simple premise which, at first, merely provides a backdrop for character interaction (which isn't a bad thing). But after the first act it quickly throws serious and incredibly challenging conflicts at the main characters, leading to choices you'll want to kill yourself for later, reveals so stunning you'll want to scream at someone, and tragedies which will linger in your memory forever.
>Artwork also matches the story perfectly, in that it shows exactly what it needs to show without beautifying a thing. The writing style is also a perfect fit. Rather than being artistic, it tells everything exactly like it is (exceptions for when a more emotional character is narrating, but ofc that just adds more to the scene).
>Score: 9.5/10
Excerpts from Ixrec's Swan Song review.

>>3775021
I'm sorry that I don't find vertical text appealing.

>>3775026
Faggot.

>>3775021
sup, tlwiki devs.

>>3775022
I don't see any problem in getting both MLA and Swan Song translated together.

Problem is how are we gonna divide our votes to get them to end up as #1 and #2.

But if we vote for MuvLuv Alternative, Ixrec will translate Swan Song in between the games. So obviously MuvLuv is the better choice.

>>3775021
That's not a DFC.

>>3775039
Shut up the fuck up, then what about G Senjou no Maou!?

>>3775038
There's no way, basically. It's a sort of a con into tricking people to vote for MLA.

>>3775053
...what?

But I don't like drama or post apocalyptic settings, I want my Ruitomo translated

>>3775053
G Senjou no Maou! is not translated by furry devs.
Are you living under a rock?

>>3775039
not necessary due to nnl faqqotry with eden. also if we vote swan song now, we get it even sooner. Also I am not that eager to see ixrecs translate something avarage like extra or unlimited when he could translate something better like Ruitomo

>>3775053
Oh yeah.... Now that I think about it... Didn't they stall that project because of Ixrec?

>>3774760
I stopped reading there.

>>3775059
>>3775059
If you don't vote for MLA then you are falling into a scam/con by those nonametrolls/ggtrolls/moefaggots to divide our vote and get their not so superior game translated.

>>3775067
He was a translation CHecker.
He obviously could not do that anymore.

>>3775062
Well, they certainly were. Unless you forgot that whole deal with Neko's Niggacokc rallying.

>>3775059
You are not taking the situation into consideration. If MLA wins, it's almost sure that SS will get picked as the side project because the 2nd game won't be a short one. The ones with more chances to get in the top 5 are MLA, baldr, france shoujo (voters are popping out from nowhere), RuiTomo, Eden* and Swan Song. Only the last 2 are short, and SS will surely get more votes than Eden* so it would be the side project no matter what.

>>3775080
Amaterasu never worked in g-senjou. Aegis =! Amaterasu.

Swan Song's beautiful opening, for those who haven't been convinced to vote for Swan Song yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENwrNUGYb-c

>>3775094
At least they'd be honorary furry devs.

>>3775094
Actually he is half right. A lot of Amaterasu is in Aegis. Ixrec himself was a checker and Nagato is their hacker.

>>3775064
Nagato mad at u for using your "faqqotry"

>>3775103
Skyward is the hacker, actually. Nagato only helped in the beginning.

>>3775069
And I stopped reading at "Moogy." Can't believe even he'd get riled up into this poll-faggotry, even mucking his fairly (what I had thought to be) respectable site into it.
But in the end, it's all Ixrec's fault - I still can't believe how quickly he managed to dismantle the integrity of the translated VN fanbase.

>>3775122
You do know they are only doing it for fun right?
If you read the ammy forum you have people accusing each other for being disneyfags and probably real deal there too.

>>3775122
Actually, he reduced the whole English VN community into children. Were all arguing the most childish way I have ever seen. For example the Baldr Sky campaign in Augest was 'Vote for Chainsaw Armed priest who is voiced by Wakamoto' when he wasn't even voiced by Wakamoto. Seriousl this time I expected 'Vote for BS it's like Getter' or something stupid.

>>3775134
the translated VN community was going to be children sooner or later, might as well speed things up

>>3775134
Doesn't change from the usual /jp/
Now people here just argue about which VN to translate rather than the constant thread about SHIKI CAN KILL SERVANTS, SAKURA/RIN/SABER IS A SLUT, etc...
Same shit.

MLA, SS, MLA, SS, MLA, SS.
Screw it, voting KGNE.

>>3775133
protip: at least half of those guys are serious.

>>3775143
That's trolling, right now were fucking kids saying 'My dad is better than your dad'.

>>3775143
>rather than the constant thread about SHIKI CAN KILL SERVANTS, SAKURA/RIN/SABER IS A SLUT
But those ones are still here every day, and most of them gets like 200 posts.

>>3775155
Don't cry cause anyone's dad can beat up your dad.

>>3775134
And yet he still contribute more than 80% of this so called English VN community

>>3775155
Same for these threads, they can begin with trolling but they always evolve into some serious shitstorm.

>>3775143
>Getter
FUCK YEAH DINOSAURS

fuck you all vote fags, just play whatever the fuck gets translated, and if its not your favorite game then don't fucking play it!

>>3775171
>All poll tobaccoes has sexual intercourse, sexual intercourse is converted exactly, the game of your taste very it does any that things of the play which then is not with anything!

>>3775170
>Dinosaur cavalry
Awesome.

>>3775170

>>3775189

>>3775134
Y'know the campaign should be 'Vote for MuvLuv it's like Getter'

>>3775171
For more information, Gemufakku all fags, have been translated into votes for all of your favorite games!

>>3775134
>>3775170
>>3775181
>>3775189
>>3775193
Oh how this thread has fallen to talk about dinosaurs and Getter.

>>3775165
VN translation is srs bzns

I was bored so I started reading the page for shit and giggles. The summary looks written by someone who didn't play the game and is spewing fifth-hand information that he read somewhere.

So vote Swan Song! That page is bullshit!

First Episode was best.

>>3775278
KazoKei is still good, it just doesn't have enough fighting for the Western fanbase.

Episode 5 was not so popular probably because Battler was siding with Beatrice, causing much rage among the anti-fantasy readers.

>>3775296
Don't get me wrong I thought Hiroshi (is that the white haired dude, I forgot?) was fucking badass. But it's no where close to 90. 80 is more like it, 85 tops.

I don't see your point...

>>3775289
I think it's really Kichikuou.

now i have seen the forums and i have to say that guys trolling using France Shoujo and KGNE are doing a really nice job on pushing voters away... keep up with the GJ!

Huh.

What's up with all these VNs being...I dunno how to put it...Drama? Does that work?

That's what it seems like anyway, instead of just being a simple slice of life/highschool romance, it's all this bizzare dystopian future shit where theres giant robots everywhere and everyone dies at the end.

>>3775358
Because it's popular. Look at videogames in general - most are the same shit right now.

>>3775358
Sorry, I don't feel like reading some slice of life high school shit. Sure, it can be done well, but I'm really tired of it.

I'll vote for Baldr Sky. Who's with me?

>>3775358
Mature VNs for mature readers such as themselves, etc. It's too bad Parfait didn't make it into the finals.

>>3775511
I can't say using the same setting and cliches over and over again makes for a 'mature VN'.

Sure high school shit is gay, but so is the shit they are pumping out now

It's like VNs are slowly reverting to the old ways of shitty hentai.

>>3775358
It's either OH GOD HE'S GONNA EAT MY HEAD drama or some dumb cliche school romance drama.

>>3775523
Currybutt, you don't even read VNs. What the fuck are you saying?

>>3775554
Uh, yes I do, I just don't like discussing with /jp/ or vn communities about them.

>>3775559
Oh well, at least you know what you're talking about then. I still can't agree with you though.

>>3775358
There's enough of those, we can always get those anyway. Instead, if I had a choice of picking any eroge/VN that I would want to play, I would pick anything but school comedy stuff.

Futurustic GAR Mecha fights? Some cthululu mythos/Lovecraftian VN? Psychological Drama? An FSN clone? A porny eroge about some loli in wonderland? Moeified presidents? Trap stuck in a girl's land? Mystery VN? Gore VN with lots of plot twists? Yuri VN? ... All sound better than just the usual high school comedy galge, we get enough of those from the commercial licensors anyway. Most of us want something that will keep us reading, and frankly the usual galge bore me after I've read a path or so.

>>3775589
Motherfucking agreed!

So, now if we could get KGNE as main project with RuiTomo as side one, all would be good with the world.

Proof of said translation where?

So if this /m/ guys contacts Ixrec and they reach an agreement, even MuvLuv can be taken out anytime.

>>3775811
'Ixrec trusts him' is the proof.

>>3775811
Ixrec himself said he trusts him, so must be real.

>>3775803
>>3775811
Not much proof, but TJ comes in #ammy and grats the group for translating CC. Doesn't say anything for a while and then logs off. Suddenly, Ixrec claims to have gotten a PM about SS being translated by someone he trusts to have done it, and takes it off the list.

Well, I guess I'm not voting anymore. I can't even begin to decide between the rest.

>>3775774
Something about this makes me sick. I have a feeling Swan Song will never be translated any more.

<sunken> So, now that Swan Song can no longer be a side project, will another short VN have that opportunity?
<Ixrec|SnI> sunken: maybe

>>3775851
next on the list is Narcissu. Quick, someone edit a script for Osadai and get it off the list!

>>3775774
>>3775789
This is hilarious.

>>3775859
There's already someone trying this.

>>3775864
And has been "trying" to translate it for over 2 years.

>>3775870
No, I mean somebody (VDZ) from the OsaDai team who wants to talk with his partners to get the game out of the poll so Narcissu can get it.

>>3775864
Haeleth hasn't showed his face in years, probably died in some ditch somewhere. The guys who took over from him might be as good as dead, since they can't get any progress on it at all. This is the only chance, no one else will translate this game!

>>3775874
Oh, ok. I would like Narcissu to be translated, but only as a side project.

So, everyone who was going to vore for Swan Song can now UNITE and start rallying for I/O, which is probably the game which has the most similar setting to SS.

So, yeah, vote I/O!

Oh wow Swan Song is gone now.

Also what the fuck is going on guys?
11eyes and France Shoujo is all the rage in the ammy forums.
Do they even know what they are voting for?

Voting should be pretty easy now, guys.

>>3775894
Sorry bro, but Moogy's starting up a project for I/O.

>>3775896
More like it's two guys trolling each other back and forth making gifs and banners etc. Same with the KGNE guy, faggots are desperate to promote their inferior games.

Baldr Sky FTW

Troll vote for France Shoujo.

Anyone who played both versions of Alternative can confirm this video's hypothesis? Skip to the middle, the first part is an AMV

If I had the post-chomp CG, I'd consider photoshopping in text along the lines of "If you don't vote for MLA, BETA-kun and all his friends will starve to death."

>>3775911
Don't be so quick to vote for this. It may be a good game, but translating it will effectively prevent Ixrec from translating other VNs like Baldr Sky for over a year.

>>3775932
Thinking of doing this, since Swan Song was the only interesting-looking one in the bunch.

But then I/O looks kind of similar, I guess. I can't decide.

>>3775942
We'll be getting other VNs anyway since translation projects are appearing from nowhere.

>>3775956
I will do my part but I know something will fucked everything up just like in the last poll.

Voting Baldr.

Also who is the troll that's translating SS? People are saying Taka and some dude on irc is saying he is doing it. But they're like 3 of him.

>>3775942

>>3775970
Let's hope not.

>>3775956
I don't know about those. Some, like the Kara no Shoujo and Swan Song projects, appear to have popped out simply to eliminate some poll contenders. I'm afraid they might be abandoned in a month or so.

>>3775589
>we get enough of those from the commercial licensors anyway.
Not GOOD school life comedy eroge.

>>3775894
Sorry, I'll be voting for Muv Luv now that Swan Song is out. I don't see how I/O is similar to SS and frankly it doesn't interest me at all.

>>3775974
My plan to clone translators has finally payed off.

>>3775932
Fuck year, let's do this!

Swan Song is out? Damn.
Voting Kiminozo then.

>>3775942
Note: He said multiple times that he'll do a "short" side project between the Muvluv games if MLA wins. It was going to be Swan Song, but he's still open to the idea and who knows - someone else like Fungi or TakaJun may pick up Baldr Sky.

>>3775974
>some dude on irc is saying he is doing it. But they're like 3 of him.

Oh lol. Don't believe him, he's just joking.

>>3775981
It seems that both of them were active before the poll, they've been announced now just because they didn't want to overlap translations with Amaterasu.

>>3775998
Sure as hell not joking. If it's not TakaJun color me surprised, then. Shows up on #Ammy just to congratulate Ixrec on translating Cross Channel? 10 minutes after that Ixrec puts up the Swan Song thing and says it's at 50%? Plus, the message someone put up here about #wankotl is actually true, he did say he was looking for people to beta test a game. All this points to Taka being the Swan Song TL, etc.

>>3775995
>TakaJun may pick up Baldr Sky.
He already said no. As he called his poll a popularity contest then picked the one with the least amount of votes. All because Baldr one with twice as many votes then any other contender.

>>3775998
>Oh lol. Don't believe him, he's just joking.
Really? Thank God this was getting annoying.

>>3776012
>Nov 9th:
>Majikoi still being hacked.
>Busy with other things.
What happen to Majikoi then? Not that I mind, SS is clearly superior.

>>3776021
Probably still being done, it's just that Swan Song is a small game and as far as I know, Taka had all sorts of praise for it when he reviewed it.

Well, that's, of course, supposing he's the one who's TL'ing it.

>>3776014
>As he called his poll a popularity contest then picked the one with the least amount of votes.

Why are all translators such opinionated idiots?

I hate TVTropes as much as the next guy, but...

This poll is obviously an example of

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThirtyXanatosPileup

>>3776012
No, I mean the guy who's impersonating him now in the channel, the real TakaJun left a while ago.

>>3776030
Oh, right. I see what you mean. My apologies.

>>3775995
Well it's no terribly big deal for me if MLA wins. I've got other stuff to do than whine and argue about polls. I'm worried most about the fanbases for VNs like Baldr Sky which will most likely get the short end of the stick.

>>3775998
>It seems that both of them were active before the poll, they've been announced now just because they didn't want to overlap translations with Amaterasu.

I just hope this is the case.

>>3776040
Kara no Shoujo is at ~10% and the guy had a bit of it translated before he contacted Ixrec. Don't worry, it's moving, and let's hope it won't die anytime soon.

>>3776012
Topic on #WankoTL btw:
Room topic is: http://yandere.gray7.com/ | Released: Wanko to Kurasou, Brass Restoration, Sengoku Rance | Please help me in one of my MBA assignments if you're so kind http://yandere.gray7.com/helpme.txt | Looking for beta testers who can test a game in early December, 'Mkay.| Taka: Check your email

Well it's not like MuvLuv is the longest thing in that poll.
The script of France Shoujo is longer than Extra, UL and Alt combined.

>>3776040
>>3776040
Protip.
There is about 90% of overlap for fanbase of Baldr Sky and MLA.
I really hate to use this word but the 2huge group with huge taste disparity has always been the real deal crowd vs the disney moe moe crowd.

>>3776047
That reminds me, any progress on Cartagra? Or is it still dead in the water ;_;?

>>3776069
Not sure about TL but at least the dudes from the project haven't passed away, seeing as they left a message regarding the tolls on the Kara no Shoujo Talk page of TLWiki.

Or, at least, I think that was them.

[00:54:30] <shikiller|atwork> who's the SS translator, really
[00:54:40] <Masat01> not me
[00:54:46] <Vodka> TakaJun, I imagine.
[00:54:52] <~Nagato> a human
[00:54:53] <+VDZ> TakaJun, 99% confirmed.
[00:54:55] <TakaJun> >_>
[00:55:22] <Ixrec|SnI> meh, may as well 100% it

>>3776081
>tolls on the Kara no Shoujo Talk page
So, we'll have to pay money to go past certain points in the translation?

<TakaJun> we started working on it aftter Sengoku Rance it's like 50% translated right now

>I'm worried most about the fanbases for VNs like Baldr Sky which will most likely get the short end of the stick.
Oh yes, and RuiTomo. From what I've heard, it's pretty hard to translate the language use. RuiTomo is a VN that would benefit from Ixrec's "kung-fu" translation.

>>3776090
Oh lawd, make that tools.

It's obviously this poll thing fault, I can't even type properly nowadays.

>>3776089
(also, that TakaJun there is a fag impersonating him)

Anyway, TJ confirmed as the SS translator. We now can be sure it's not a troll project.

>>3776097
<Vodka> Hey, does RuiTomo have a chance to win? Honestly now?
<kViN> Vodka: as much as I'd like it, no

>>3776068
Stop taking trolls seriously. Many people like "real deal" and moe.

>>3776095
Holy shit. Is this one real? And why the fuck has he not announced it yet?

>>3776102
Now now now.

We really have to thank this poll.
Project are materializing out of thin air since this poll started.

Oh wow, like you could discourage me.

I'm voting for what I want. This poll can go to hell.

>>3776114
He's apparently moving and doesn't have access to the internet yet. Just stopped by a library or something and dropped a message there.

>>3776114

He's not real. Just a troll who can use /nick.

>>3776114
It was supposed to be a secret, but... Yeah.

I was torn between Ruitomo and SS. So thank you TakaJun. If anyone is a fickle beast it's you (survey, survey, 1000 results, excitement, picked Majikoi, then suddenly semi-announcing SS in the middle of shitstorm)

Pic related. Continue your bitchfight guys!

>>3776119
Of course, I never meant to say otherwise. It's just that I type "poll" so many times per day that even "tools" are becoming "tolls" and so on.

Hurrrdurrr.

>>3776114
Yes, it's real.

>>3776110
Oh wow, like you could discourage me.

I'm voting for what I want. This poll can go to hell.

Really?

>>3776130
See
>>3776110

>>3776130
See here: >>3776110

RuiTomo will only win if all of its current voters rally tons of people for it too.
...Personally I'd be happy to do this if others shared the effort too. For the record, the prelim winner got around 400 votes or so.

>203 posts and 14 image replies omitted. Click Reply to view.
For new thread, OP's post and pic will determine the vote winner.

>>3776139
And yet 90% of /m/ seems to hate it, hmmmm

>>3776137
Jesus Christ, it's a lion, get back in the car.

Hmm, now it is more or less just games I like left. Too bad it means a harder time to choose.

>>3776143
/m/ just hates everything moe. And Amaterasu's address happens to have "moe" in it.

>>3776143
/m/ is paradoxical, end of story.

>>3776068
Not really, I want Baldr to win this poll then next I want Muv Luv to win the next.

>>3776130
Ignore these people:
>>3776140
>>3776141

Just vote for what you want. Discarding your vote because you think something doesn't stand a chance is dumb. And rally if you feel like it.

>>3776143
There are no translated mecha VNs out there, /m/ would totally love a MLA / Baldr Sky translation. Not like the trolls would have you believe.

By the way, this now means that eden* is almost guaranteed to be the side project, right? Unless Ixrec decides to weasel out and not have a side project just because it can't be Swan Song...

>>3776163
Narcissu is really likely to be in the final poll, if TinFoil agrees OsaDai will be taken out and N2-3 will get in (though as a side project it would probably be just N2).

>>3776068
What do you call the fanbase? People who played it or people who read what other people say and hype it.

>>3776089
Ixrec, what a bastard! TakaJun trusted you!!

And thus seeds of the the Great Translation War were planted.

>>3776153
Just voting for a game I honestly want to play. Hype and rallying can all go to hell.

>>3776185
>And thus seeds of the the Great Translation War were planted.
What would this involve?
Things like each trying to outdo each other by translating more in-demand high quality titles than the other.
If so, I'm okay with this.

>>3776174
People that vote for Baldr Sky in the previous poll.

Seriously now, if MLA was in the last poll would you really vote for Baldr Sky?

>>3776163
>By the way, this now means that eden* is almost guaranteed to be the side project, right?
No. Unless eden* make it as the runner-up position.

Holy shit, we broke it.

>>3776190
Dawww, too cute.

>>3776203
wat

I'm surprised no one care about hot trap sex.

>>3776194

Then there's the part where they talk big, start lots of projects that then fail one by one until nothing gets finished.

>>3776190
>rallying can go to hell
But RuiTomo can't win without rallying ;_;

>>3776211
I know that. Don't worry. Just vote for 'em.

>>3776211
Try /a/ if you're going to rally. They love traps.

>>3776201
So Ixrec already picked another "executive decision" side project and it's not eden*?

>>3776208
Straight trap sex doesn't do anything for me.

>>3776195
Yes, oddly enough.

>>3776219
I might do that!

>>3775934
I'd buy it. Please make it happen âge!

<~Nagato> it won't happen
<Uguu> Izmos, you did?
<~Nagato> tinfoil went to the hospital yesterday and hasn't come back yet
...
<+Masat01|kinniku> Wait, what? TinFoil talked not too long ago, didn't he?
<~Nagato> he did?
<Uguu> you're stil me?
<Moogy> nagato, he's back from the hospital
<Moogy> just still sick
<~Nagato> oh
<~Nagato> he did
<~Nagato> [13:55] <@TinFoil|Sick> anyway, what the hospital staff thought was fever + high blood pressure escalated into a full blown infection
<~Nagato> [13:56] <@TinFoil|Sick> SO COOL, I ALMOST DIED THERE
<~Nagato> so yeah uh
...
<Moogy> tinfoil is dying
<kViN> the hospital staff confirmed for NNL trolls
<Moogy> lol
<kViN> they are trying to kill tinfoil so osadai can't be taken out
<masato_mo_kinniku> lol

HOLY SHIT THE TRANSLATION COMMUNITY HAS MORE TWISTS THAN COCO'S ROUTE

>>3776211
Force it on people, make some makefit review of it and post it praising it like it's some godlike shit, make lots of threads about it even if you have to samefag a lot.

How do you think Swan Song, Baldr Sky or MuvLuv got popular here?

>>3776219
/a/ is more likely to vote 11eyes because of the animu, or France Shoujo because T2 IS SO SUGOI xD

>>3776231
So Clandestine

>>3776231
Oh god lol.

>>3776231
There should be a VN about VN translators.

It would be REAL DEAL.

>>3776231
I lol'd.

You guys are too optimistic.

Someone will pull another neko again and another title will win out of nowhere again.
We will never have nice things.

With Swan Song gone, my vote now goes to KGNE.

Oh, and fuck /m/.

>>3776253
But all the games on the list are pretty decent.

Thread autosaging.

>>3776253
Impossible. Neko's rally worked when the final votes were on order of 300. Projected final votes this time is on order of 1000. Rallying just became much much harder due to scale.

>>3776253
The genie is lying to you. His answer should be "Never" and the corresponding trollface.
