Ixrec said he won't go by the poll due to gg shenanigans

France Shoujo voters were the honest ones.

>>3792791
But It's obvious due that Rui was first because of them, why not sub MuvLuv?

Having a poll only to ignore the results is pointless. Didn't Ixrec say he didn't mind gg's rallying, initially?

>>3792785
>>3792786
This is some ole bullshit.
I've stayed out of these discussions because I'm going to play what ever is translated regardless, but this shit got to stop.

>>3792796
It's obvious MuvLuv only came second because of WIN A XBAWKS

>>3792791
but the poll did go by when neko rallied for his own shit?

sure is double standards in here

>>3792796
That would be "unfair" to those who really voted for Rui Tomo. It's retarded, but no can do.

>>3792799
He underestimated the faggotry of gg. Also people at gg have never played a single VN, so he realized letting them choose the winner would be stupid.

>>3792804

In the end we should just be glad that the top 3 at the very least (maybe the top 5) are still in with a chance.

And it wasn't just rallying from fansub groups, it was also a quite large use of proxies (something I assume taken into account either way, but still) and the fact that gg were spamming sites with "Vote Rui Tomo". /a/ got swamped by it last night.

>>3792801
Yeah I agree, disqualify the cheaters. Let's go with Baldr instead.

This kind of stuff made me learn Japanese in the first place. It felt annoying to rely on others for subs and translations and such.

>>3792809
France shoujo voters are the most fair ones.

>>3792813
I only wish I had enough motivation to do the same.

>>3792810
seconding this

>>3792814
They're not completely clean either. /a/ had a faggot rallying for France Shoujo all day. With /a/ being filled with retards with no knowledge in VNs, some lolicon T2 was an easy brainwashing method. Selling points were "Tony Taka, lots and lots of hot sex, loli," vote now! Many people who hadn't even played a VN before voted for it only because they wanted to masturbate to T2 lolis.

>Amaterasu? What's that? Never heard of it. Oh well, Tony Taka lolis, god tier fappan time!
And so on.

>We are convinced that the results of the poll do not accurately represent the will of the VN community, therefore we will decide between the top candidates ourselves after I've played them.

So basically the entire poll was pointless?

>>3792838

And you voted for Muv Luv because /jp/ told you to.

>>3792849
We all got trolled pretty good.

>>3792849
Thats not really surprising, I mean internet polls being useless, just look at what Time magazine did.

>>3792862
What did Time do?

Well, if they're gonna translate something I hope it's France Shoujo or Katahane.

>>3792876

>>3792838
Why would you want a translation in that case?

>>3792807
The same can be said for many of the MuvLuv voters, since /m/ was running a contest to give away a fucking 360 if it won. Pretty much all of the top contenders had groups rally for them. RuiTomo just had the most, and there ARE lots of people (myself included) who actually want to play it.

>>3792849
>So basically the entire poll was pointless?

We now know that TakaJun is 50% through Swan Song, so the poll was not worthless.

>>3792905

I was curious about Rui, too. Too bad trolls ruined everything.

>>3792905

Yeah, but had just the VN community been involved, RuiTomo would not have won, period. As to Muv Luv Alt getting second because of rallying, it is debatable if it would have won or not without gg, however that is irrelevant since he just threw out the poll in its entirety.

>>3792838
/a/ shits itself into moralfaggotry at the mentioning of loli.
Am I miss informed?

>>3792917
Why don't you find out? For the good of science.

>http://novelnews.net/2009/11/25/various-voting-irregularities-invalidate-project-poll/
>Favorites BALDR SKY Dive1 and MuvLuv Alternative also received their share of rallying in such places as 4chan.

/jp/ has rallies for all titles isn't it? Don't understand why he just list 2 of them.

Whatever happened, /jp/ won.
We got 2projects out of this.
Swan Song and Kara no Shoujo.

Wonder if Rance guy would still do Rance02 even though MLA didnt win.

I voted for France Shoujo! I hope it wins!

>>3792922
I don't like being flamed for what I know is right and they have a mod.
If we weren't supposed to be attracted to them, why would they be so erotic?

>>3792936
Don't look at me, I'm english, it would be illegal for me to comment.

/jp/ dosent care about loli as much it's not forbidden and it's morally acceptable so no one cares and we're used to it, on /a/ loli is forbidden and everyone swarms around it.

>>3792942
>>>/a/27982723

OP, blue background means it's safe for work.
Please don't post NSFW images in /jp/.

>>3792944
The evidence of this is the fact you have one in the OP and no ones has said a word.
I used to dump lolicon all over /g/ when they hated it, now everyone does it and I bitch about it when it became popular.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me.
Online pools never works, too many people with dynamic IPs and lamers.
They should've done this in the first place, just see the top 10 and then decide betwwen those.

>>3792959
POOL'S CLOSED

>>3792956
>you have one in the OP
Oh fuck. I didn't even notice it until I read that.

>>3792952

>>3792978
EPICK LULZ OP

>>3792964
See loli is so common and normal here you dont even notice it.

>>3792782
This is hot, sourc...

>>3792906
That thing is a cat-mushroom? A part cat, part mushroom girl? ...I.. don't even... just fuck it.

Damnit, japan.

>>3792796
Previously, before MuvLuv alternative poll, there's a poll about MuvLuv and it lose.

>>3792991
Nigacock won because of furry Disney friends.

As a /m/an and /jp/ frequenter I've wanted to play MuvLuv for quite some time.

Read this. Still think all the polls are clean?
Well I don't really mind since Cross Channel is very good as well.

This poll was a total mess. What's gg got to do with VNs anyway?

What is gg? Is it some kind of forum?

>>3793029
Nothing, they probably feel threatened by the popularity of Visual Novels and they fear for their anime subgroup fame, so they decided to troll the Visual Novel translators.

>>3793020
I just want a new VN to be translated, I'm bored as hell.

>>3793033
An anime fansub group.

>>3793033

http://www.ggkthx.org/

>>3793033
Fansubbers who have been pissing us off for years now.

>>3793037
Buy PS3 play Agarest.

>>3793040
>>3793042
Ah, thanks very much.

>>3793037
Wasn't a new VN translated recently ?
Rain something...

>>3793029
Plenty of speculations and reasons why they decided to troll the VN community.

-They got insulted for their umineko subs for not following the VN translations and such.
-Supposedly the guys at #ammy told them to fuck off and get their friends to vote if they wanted something translated.
-They are just kids and have pleasure in seeing the VN community rage.

>>3793033
The two letters in the middle of faGGots.

>>3793057
Wasn't gg made by people from /a/ to translate GL faster ?
Goddamnit I can't remember.

>>3793056
Symphonic rain?

How did a fansub group find out about this poll? I thought these fandoms were seperate?

>>3793076
Yeah that one.

>>3793072
As much as I hate to admit, even /a/ are better than these guys. gg are along the lines of /b/-level faggotry.

I for one am not raging. Rui wa Tomo is a good game.

That's real low-tier trolling.

>>3793072
gg been with us for about three years now...
You're thinking of BSS

>>3793087
I think /a/ are friendly neighbors! They get excited easily though.

>>3793072
gg been with us for about four years now...
You're thinking of BSS

if they can sub anime why do they need someone to translate a vn they want to play?

>>3793106
Oh yeah, you're right.

>>3793080
They had one guy that actually wanted one of them to win.

That one was removed because someone else was willing to translate it. He told the rest of the staff to troll the poll because he didnt need it anymore

>>3793104
/jp/ is the older college dropout NEET brother, while /a/ is the still in high school being a little otaku faggot.

>>3793108
From what I gather, it seems they never really cared, and just wanted to wreck the poll out of spite. I could be wrong though.

Too bad they didn't know that we are used to not seeing VN get translated.

I was happy enough getting Swan Song. Just sad that those guys at #ammy didn't counter trolled them back somehow. It would be funny if the Kara no Shoujo guy dropped his project just to get back at them.

>>3793116
Oh geez, I am a college dropout.

>>3793108
Dumbfuck, from the group, only the translator that understand Japanese.
Other staff (timer, encoder, typesetter) don't understand moonrunes.

>>3793076
>>3793085
Is it any good?
How long?

>>3793149
The patch is only in beta, and there's apparently a pretty much 100% chance that you'll encounter a gamebreaking bug every time you try to play through an entire route.

>>3793154
Hey I am having trouble with Princess Eris. I get a blue screen when I try to start it up. And yes I am using applocale.

>>3793154
:_:
Anyone know when there well be a better release?

>>3793154
;_;

>>3793149
There's supposed to be an actual playable patch that's not buggy this week. I'd wait for that, if I were you.

>>3793159
BSoD or just a blue screen?
OS?

>>3793159
>applocale
There's your problem.

>>3793159
all of darktranslations patches give me the same problems. i have unicode set to jap

>>3793172
It's not BSoD but a blue window with weird characters in it. I tried starting it with and without applocale.

>>3793159
Princess Eris is using the kirikiri engine. Applocale doesnt work. You need to change your regional setting to japanese to get it to work.

Symphonic Rain is buggy like hell. Text is fucked up here and there.

>>3793179
But what OS?
If it's vis7a just change the locale to japanese.

>>3793179
Tried running in compatibility mode?

>>3793195
>>3793181

It's XP Pro. I guess I will have to reinstall the OS or something since I have Japanese fonts installed but they won't show up for some reason.

>>3793205
compatibility mode? I thought that was only for older games for windows 95? What settings should I pick for compatibility mode?

>>3793210
.......

>>3793218
If it isn't working on XP, then compatibility mode probably isn't the problem. See >>3793227 if you haven't done this already.

>>3793227
Oh...
Th-thank you...

>>3792838

So by your logic if there's election in the countryside and the one who wins is a nobody that some city boys don't like, it's fair and righteous to overturn the vote because they "don't know how politics work" ?

No wonder how democracy fails so hard.

>>3792782

sauce on OP ?

>>3793253
>So by your logic if there's election in the countryside and the one who wins is a nobody that some city boys don't like, it's fair and righteous to overturn the vote because they "don't know how politics work" ?

The analogy you are describing closely mirror the politic scene in Thailand. Rural voters support Thaksin while the urban voters believe he is corrupted and kicked him out with a coup.

What the hell, Ixrec will probably work on eden* or BALDR SKY.

>>3793256
It's in the thread search it.

>>3793274
Does this mean we can put this behind us?

>>3793267
>thaksin

You mean the ex-PM who's selling your country to his pal in the neighbour country and calling our press to witness the events?

>>3793295
Don't worry. I am not thai.
The only thai faggot in /jp/ is probably that bangkok fella.
I am just saying that real democracy failed as well.
We are better off with something like Reinhard dictatorship.

>>3793267

Somehow I knew I wasn't the only one in here..

It saddens me to think that I was socializing with some yellow haired gaijins and turns out it was just the same asian bastards all along

>>3793303
>Reinhard dictatorship.
I approve.

>>3793303
>Reinhard dictatorship.
SIEG MEIN KAISER

>>3793274
Got proof?

Like I have said countless times before, this poll was rigged right from the start and they probably were waiting in excitement before releasing the grand final that is "LOL I TROLL U"

>>3793274
>eden
I don't think so. There was a clear top 5 from the beginning which stands above the rest. Two of them got their projects, the three others which in my opinion deserves it more are Muvluv, Baldr and 11eyes.

>>3793345
>11eyes.
Pretty sure that is the only title that /jp/ has a consensus that it is shit.
Replaced it with I/O and I will agree with you.

>>3793310
>>3793307
Your loyalty is appreciated.

Am I the only person who doesn't care about these stupid polls?

>>3793375
We don't care about the poll, we care about which project will be translated.

>>3792793
Cool story bro. I pointed out days before the poll that french shit had been picked by the pollriggin inside crowd, but then the mongols came from outside and stole their rigged poll away from them. Suddenly the poll results are canceled and surprise surprise /jp/ won't believe what I said until it becomes official history

Butthurt MLA-fag reporting in. Clearly would've won too if it weren't for outsiders who have nothing to do with VNs voting in the poll.

>>3793393
What are you talking about? France Shoujo only had 2 proxies and quite a lot of legit votes. Compared with all of the other games that got a significant amount of votes it has the least amount of proxy votes.

NNL will probably work on eden* after a year.

>>3793396
MLA is the VN of the list that Ixrec wants to translate the most. Leaving the decision to him is a good thing for us.

>>3793402
Yesterday, several Anonymous created several posts to convince people to vote for France Shoujo.
In other words, those votes for France Shoujo are also rigged.

>>3793409
You sure?
He gave the original Muv Luv score worse than MOON.
Even if ALT is as godly as people has said, I can't see him giving the Muv Luv series 10/10.

>>3793409
So what is he going to do? Play through a bit of each game, fap to it, and then decide after a couple of weeks?

>>3793419
Almost everyone who plays the original Muv-Luv gives it a 7, or 8 at most usually. The original Muv-Luv isn't anything amazing.

Why is he not starting with Extra and Unlimited? Why would he do the sequel to the spinoff first?

>>3793417
That's like saying that Obama's win was rigged because he has commercials.

>>3793402
Cool story bro. It's one of the worst game on the whole list, a candy only obscure eroge not even the japs cared about, and suddenly /jp/ and /a/ are spammed with the first wave of viral marketing just before the votes? Just like it happened with furry disney? I know what is going on, the same disney pollriggin faggets were rallying for french shit and should ixwreck pick this game than it's confirmed

>>3793429
That's like saying that Rui's win was rigged because of gg.

>>3793437
Hey cool story bro.
What nickname are you giving for french girl?

2nd poll works with moderate amount of trolling and rallying. But since Ixrec permits rallying, people from NNL and gg decided to attack this clause and fucked up the final phase of today's poll event. Democracy stops to work whenever the amount of outsiders exceed the regulars greatly.

The poll managed to gives topic of conversation to /jp/ which is good, but at the cost of butthurt to others who prefers to keep the hobby and culture to themselves. Now that everything has been blown up out of scale, it's time for the anonymous/easy registration voting system to go. Drama is fun while it lasts but that's it.

tl;dr no more vote for you.

>>3793428
He said he'll first translate the "crucial" parts of Extra and Unlimited, that is, enough to cover the backstory needed for Alternative.

>>3793442
You can name your french girl in the game? I really hope it gets picked. It keeps sounding better and better.

The instant the results came out my theory got confirmed. If you still insist on denying it then I will take that symbolically for a confession.

Someone must be mentally and intellectually retarded to believe that the 2nd worst game on the whole list of 50 and a complete obscure title not even the japs cared about could manage the 4th place, hell evne to get into the final list on it's own

>>3793464
Well he came up with pretty funny nickname like mulan vn, disney furry and so on.
I thought he can come up with something creative for french girl as well.

>>3793466
You need to work on your trolling style. It feels disgusting to even talk to you, so how are you going to get any serious responses? Go ask Arc for some tips or something.

Blame Amaterasu for doing a poll with no restriction.
They should limit the person that able to vote :

- Join the forum 1 month ago.
This should prevent the sudden influx of new user that register just to vote.

- 50 minimum posts
50 posts don't ensure "quality poster" but at least they're involved in the forum.
