Id ~ Purpose literally never had a strong support base before this year
it performed well in a deflated vote environment, had two mediocre performances the last two contests when participation was up, and then finally got lucky that it was liked by the plethora of new voters --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -transience I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris ...

#468 that wasn't my intention. if i thought there was something fishy going on, i would be a lot more blunt about it >_> like, last year, i flat out stated that you shouldn't have counted moonroof's vote in the final match. he's a troll who had literally never voted in a VGMC match before and appeared out of nowhere to vote for endeavour in a very close match (though without his vote, it still would have won). i can see the argument for counting his vote too, though, so it's not that big a deal Dude, what? Unless people are not allowed to vote only in the finals, you need to get over this. I listened to the songs entirely, per the rules, and casted my vote. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I didn't respond to that post earlier because I figured it might be better to just let it pass and slip under the radar, but since it's being remarked upon now...
With the exception of the final in year 10, and one person who seldom followed the rules and to whom I gave at least a dozen chances anyway, I almost never disqualified any votes despite it being my discretion and the awareness that my predecessor was less forgiving. After year 10, I also had protection against new voters in the late rounds dropping in without reading the rules and swaying the match. And as the host for five years, I can tell you that moonroof's lifetime vote count is greater than one. I don't know what he's done outside of VGMC that merits labeling him a troll, but it has no bearing here. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mr Lasastryke 08/08/21 4:48:24 AM #55: |
i just looked it up and i saw that in VGMC14, moonroof did vote in the match prior to the final. so disregard my comments about counting his vote. my apologies for misrepresenting the situation.
aside from the moonroof stuff, i don't see how giving a person who rarely follows the rules a dozen chances is forgivable, though. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ... Copied to Clipboard!

If my research earlier was correct, then Id (Purpose) has now clinched at least a share of "most VGMC matches participated in" tying RFTM and TBIYTC. With a win in the semifinals it would take the outright lead with the finals.

Because then it has the opportunity to take two crowns at once. Even if RFTM or TBIYTC retire somehow, I doubt they ever come in contention for a final.
Granted I would have said the same about Id before this year. Maybe the true secret to seeing more Touhou retirees is recruiting from places with lots of Touhou fans. --- Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD Guru! ... Copied to Clipboard!
