sup, /m/.

I thought we we're voting for Swan Song.

is Ignacock already translated?

I don't care what wins, as long as it isn't Baldr Sky.

I seriously hope that Muv Luv Alt and Baldr Sky don't create a split vote between them, making neither of them win.

Why would you want Muv Luv Alt translated before the other 2. It would be like watching Return of the King without Fellowship and Two Towers. Sure, it may be good enough to stand on its own, but it wouldn't be AS good.

France Shoujo.

>>3697350
that's my plan bro

>>3697362
Because Ixrec said he would translate what is needed to fully enjoy Alternative.

Weren't we supposed to vote for Atlach Nacha ?

Yeah, we'll probably bo only two or three on this one.;-;

>>3697362
Because they're idiots.

>>3697362
To break the vicious "Won't translate Alt because MuvLuv isn't translated, Won't translate MuvLuv because it isn't as good as Alt" cycle.

My vote is simple
If Muv Luv alt is listed as (Muv Luv Alternative+required parts of Muv Luv Extra + Unlimited), then that gets my vote. I am not seriously interested in side routes in average at best romantic comedies like Muv Luv Extra is, I just want to get what I need for Alternative.

Otherwise, Go Baldr Sky.

I don't know how to vote ;_;

I'm still thinking whether I rally people for Swan Song or Baldr Sky.

I would be glad with just something like ruitomo
after all these lulz epic drama baww sooo touching games I feel like I need some cute and refreshing stories, and a trap for a change.

>Creating accounts on each computer on campus
>Voting for Alt
>Laughing when Ixrec removes them as proxy votes ;_;

so, where do i vote?

Why not just vote for whatever you want? We don't need to "raid" the polls.

>>3697398
It's sad, but RuiTomo won't have a chance on this poll anymore. It didn't win last time, the interest in it is fading.

Pity, since I'd love a translation for it. Maybe some moon-speaking Anon from here would be interested?

>>3697387
>If Muv Luv alt is listed as (Muv Luv Alternative+required parts of Muv Luv Extra + Unlimited), then that gets my vote. I am not seriously interested in side routes in average at best romantic comedies like Muv Luv Extra is, I just want to get what I need for Alternative.

Have to agree with the second part. I don't mind reading build up stories, but I would like a linear path until Alternative starts.

>>3697398
What are you talking about?
Shuffle - Happy end
Family Project - Happy end
Kira Kira - Happy end
Cross Channel - bittersweet end
Sunflower Girls- Happy end.

It is time for some deep plot mind fuck and I Muv Luv, Baldr Sky or Swan Song will deliver.

>>3697421
happy end has nothing to do with how dramatic a story is.
happy end is usually only there for you to feel accomplished after a few play throughs.

I'm voting for Swan Song, fuck yes.

>>3697407
Are you me? I've already set up about 15 different accounts on 15 different computers on campus using 15 different throwaway email addresses. I have a fucking spreadsheet to keep track of them all.

Resposting:

[20:45:56] <kViN> Ixrec, please say "No I won't absolutely ignore Extra and Unlimited if Alternative wins"
[20:46:02] <kViN> so I can paste it every time someone says we shouldn't vote for MLA
[20:46:14] * Ixrec|asleep is now known as Ixrec
[20:46:32] <&Ixrec> there is a strong possibility I will translate a significant portion of Extra and Unlimited in the event Alternative wins

And yeah, I'm voting for MLA this time.

>>3697410
Tell that to the furry fags that spam vote for Nigacock.

Baldr Sky
Muv Luv
Swan Song

Everything else will cause a bawwww fest in /jp/.

No, I'd rather vote on a better game, so I'll be voting for Reika Bitch Training.

>>3697475
>Reposting:
I have the flu and I can't type properly.

>>3697408
The site is not up yet.

>>3697421
MuvLuv also has a happy end.

>>3697489
> The site is not up yet.
Tell me when it gets up.

I vote for MuvLuv Alt, always wanted to play that VN

So, when's the vote coming up again?

>>3697475

[20:45:56] <kViN> Ixrec, please say "No I won't absolutely ignore Extra and Unlimited if Alternative wins"
[20:46:02] <kViN> so I can paste it every time someone says we shouldn't vote for MLA
[20:46:14] * Ixrec|asleep is now known as Ixrec
[20:46:32] <&Ixrec> there is a strong possibility I will translate a significant portion of Extra and Unlimited in the event Alternative wins

Fuck yes, my vote is now decided.

I would like to see Ixrec list Muv Luv Alternative as something like "Muv Luv Alternative, along with relevant portions of Muv Luv Extra and Unlimited"

Swan Song should win.

I don't see why people talk so much about Swan Song. It sounds like "Depression: The game. Featuring drama and tragedy".

At least Muv-Luv and other popular titles have a bit of fantasy and imaginary scenarios.

Muv-Luv Extra with Sumika/Meiya routes and Unlimited with Meiya route is enough to enjoy Alternative
Sides routes will be piss easy to translate by someone else afterwards
And yeah my vote goes to Alt in that case

If Ixrec is willing to translate much of Extra and Unlimited, along with the entirety of Alternative if Muv Luv Alt wins, I fail to see any reason why anything else should even come close to winning.

>>3697935
Because OMFG BALDR SKY IS THE BEST REAL DEAL GAME EVER

>>3697935
Because /jp/ is going to go "rigged poll BAWWWWW" whatever wins.

Swan Song. Baldr Sky.

Search your feelings and you'll know it to be true.

Alternative is overrated beyond belief, so no. Fuck linear visual novels.

>>3698193
>Fuck linear visual novels

Am I the only one would would rather an epic tale to be long and linear, instead of being told multiple times?

>>3698202
Or have a couple semi-long epic tales with varied content featuring largely the same cast.

>>3698202
Nope.

>>3698202
Depends on the genre.
When I play a moege, I want routes for every female characters, no exception and I always rage when the cute side character who is obviously superior to the main heroines doesn't have a route.

For everything else, I don't care, it should just use the media to tell its story in the best way.

Alt couldn't have worked in any other way, and the fact that it was linear really helped in making it an "epic" tale, one that really went crescendo with time.

>>3698214
Like Baldr Sky Dive 1 and 2

>Alternative is overrated beyond belief

And this is what faggots actually believe.
Alternative is rated very highly because it is an extremely good VN.
Too linear for you? Then don't read it.

Is the best attack one can make on Muv Luv Alt is that it is a linear story?

>>3698312
Linear eroge are usually bad, like Umineko.

>>3698353
You're not even trying any more.

>>3698226
>Alt couldn't have worked in any other way, and the fact that it was linear really helped in making it an "epic" tale, one that really went crescendo with time.
Agreed.
I still can't help but wish for a Haruko route though. It never would've worked, but a man can dream...

>>3697374
We can always hope there are more of us than there seem to be.

>>3698353
and Higurashi and Planetarian, fucking awful linear visual novels.

I'll vote for whatever I damn well want. All I care about is when the poll will start, which present information indicates lol dunno.

>>3698418
Inganock translation has to finish first, so I'd say end of november.

>>3698353
>>3698406
Worst VNs I've ever read, I want the portion of my life that I spent reading them back.

>>3698435
Then what did you find good, kind sir?

>>3698272
Obviously no.

>>3698457
An empty void.

>>3698457
Reika's Bitch Training

>>3698272

lol fanboy

>>3698491
lol troll

>>3698227
Shit sucks.

>>3698578
No shit?

>>3698383
Yeah, i totally fell in love with her too. At least she got a route in AF, it wasn't that good but at least you got to spend some quality time with her.

>>3698704
Too bad Altered Fable will never be translated.

Kara no Shoujo fans should just unite to overtake this MuvLuv thing.

>>3698712
Who knows, if Alt gets translated and generates a big enough fan base. Though i guess the chances would still be pretty darn slim.

>>3698585
Yeah, it sucks.

OK, it was good, better than your average eroge. But not even near MuvLuv. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.

>>3698737
Well, atleast the stupidly hard strategy game doesn't really need to be translated to enjoy, and by enjoy I mean weep at my incompetence.

When I played Altered Fable I got the urge to watch 24. Then I reconsidered, as I could be spending time to read more eroge instead of watching that.

>>3698750
Same here. And it probably isn't as funny as they make it out to be in AF.

>>3698756
From what I remember overhearing people talking about 24 it seems to be a serious business show, and no one seemed to watch because it was funny.

>>3698747
I got at the campaign map 5 and got bored. Bored from grinding for exp and fed up with saving, try a move, get my unit killed, reload, repeat.

Anyway, it was fucking great when it came out. You got a chance to massacre those pesky BETA.

SwanSongSwanSongSwanSongSwanSongSwanSongSwanSongSwanSongSwanSongSwanSong.

I think we should vote for Swan Song. It sounds like the most interesting plot out of the three.

>>3698844
>I think we should vote for Swan Song
Agreed. I'd rather vote for a game that I didn't play.

I'm going with Swan Song. Although I'm pretty sure this poll is gonna get rigged, just like the other ones, by one fag with a shit load of proxy votes.

Sounds like we have a total of 1 person voting for Swan Song in this thread.

>>3699238
That's probably for the best

I voted Swan Song last time.

>>3697331
Hey, I'm voting for Swan Song.

Can anyone explain to me why should I vote for Muv-Luv (or Baldr, for that matter)? Because all I can see right now is MECHA+EPIC+GIRLS.

Still going to vote for Ayakashibito, then cry in my bed when it gets three votes in total ;_;

>>3700578
You should vote for Muv-Luv or Baldr because /m/ told you to.

>>3700580
Ah, good thing I don't care about /m/ then.

>>3700578
>Ayakashibito
The thing that's set in a school for people with magical powers? Why don't you go read Harry Potter, faggot?

>>3700578
It has an epic story that contains mecha and girls.

Also, marimoheadbite.jpg

I'm voting for Swan Song.
And it wasn't even because of that reversed-psychology thread about Baldr Sky.

It doesn't matter, because the other guy with the campus botnet and I will be pooling all of our votes to Reika's Bitch training.

>>3700602
3/10. Pretty obvious, but you still almost got me.

>>3700621
Fuck yeah Reika Bitch Training. You'll get my vote for sure!

Going to vote for baldr sky as it's the most I want to see, altough alternative isn't bad choice, but with alternative you have to translate extra and unlimited, altough they probably will get translated, but they are average and the time translating them could go to better things. So baldr for me at that reason.

>>3700578
well people mostly want Alternative as it's pretty epic once it gets over the rather slow start (everything after the headchomp -> one big rollercoaster of awesomeness - the rather bad ending) , as for baldr sky, mostly I like to think people want it because of the cyberpunk theme as there aint that many similar things, it also has some pretty awesome characters and few mindfucks. altough they both alternative and baldr contain mechas, they arent their main focus.

Altough baldr and alternative are bit similar they are leaps and bounds different. but they are both good. atleast both of them are from genre that has not been represented that much in translations. Because I like variety, I dont want any drama or action VN right now to win this poll as we got some good reperesentative of those genres already. the more diverse the choices are the better.

>>3700629
Was anything I said incorrect?

I'd take Reika's Bitch Training over some mecha faggotry any day.

I'll be quite happy if any of the nominees that don't have mecha wins. Mecha and gameplay are pretty much the only things I don't want in my VN.

I'm probably voting for France Shoujo and Mugen Kairou in the preliminary poll. Also downvoting Baldr.

Final poll vote depends on the final poll candidates and whether people are rallying for something that seems interesting. Swan Song doesn't seem like a bad choice at least.

>>3700657
Just try to point out any similarities beyond those.

>>3700665
No more downvotes this time, anon. They've been axed.

>>3700673
Watersports

>>3700688
goddamn pissing. What is the appeal of this? Keep this shit out of my VNs.

>>3700665
You only get one vote and you can't downvote.

>>3700696
You still get 3 votes in prelims, just they must all be upvotes.

Finals is where there's only one vote.

>>3700688
Wait, there are watersports in Harry Potter?

>>3700684
I never heard anything about that. Must have missed it.

Oh well, not that downvoting would make any difference unless someone did some massive downvote rallying.

I was just going to downvote "because I can" but I guess I can't after all. Now I need to find something to use my third vote on. I'm quite confident Swan Song will make it to the final poll without my vote so something else... maybe Coμ.

>>3700705
Watersport has Harry Potter.

Ayakashibito is closer to supernaturally talented school like X-Men rather than HP's wizarding school though. For the latter, Littlewitch's Romanesque is closer; since you play as a genius mage tutoring two lolis to be great mages under three years in such school, with delicious raising-sim game mechanism.

>>3700711
Downvoting brought some of the VNs from like 50 votes to 3.

I don't care what wins as long it's a real deal game and not some disney shit.

swan song

>Since the rules have changed a bit, I will reiterate the basics: for the prelim poll you will vote for up to three separate candidates, there will be no downvotes, it will last exactly 24 hours, and the top 10 (guaranteed to be exactly ten this time) will become the finalists. It will not be in the forums this time, but done with custom software much like the final poll last time.

>The actual date has yet to be set, since we're not done with Inganock yet, but expect it within a week of that project reaching completion, so probably the third or fourth week of November.

>>3700735
That's the most fucking retarded comment about a VN I've ever fucking heard. Well done.

>>3700758
Get that unimeko disney shit out of here

>>3700758
Why don't you get reaction images from a REAL DEAL anime, like Bocu no Pico?

>>3700735
Real deal, as in 'Realistic setting and situation', instead of wild fantasy, situations and drama, like Baldr Sky, Muv Luv Alt etc, right?

>>3700758
Why don't you use reaction images from a Real Deal anime, like Boku no Pico?

>>3700758
Fuck off DISNEY shit. It is bad enough we got Casey and Friends.
Take your Barney and Witches disney shit off /jp/ now.

Poll up yet?

>>3701102
I'm sorry for asking but
Casey and friends was that "lol xD so randum" Higurashi ... thing?

It starts with someone "Jonesin for a taco" or something?
Urgh, that was terrible.
;_;

>>3701146
Naw, I give it about a week, maybe two more. cf. http://amaterasu.is.moelicious.be/blog/?p=266

>>3701152
Improper use of ;_;
Get out, faggot and go back to /a/

Swan Song is the only choice.

I want Yotsunoha.

>>3701093
That is the best response to the Real Deal faggotry I've seen yet.

I am now copypasting that as a response to every Real Deal troll post.
