We had a long conversation in this topic about which country is which in real life ages ago, so I would have thought most of the older members would have been aware of all of that by now. *shrugs* http://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php/topic,832.msg23167.html#msg23167

Yes, Zain-related Dates apply to any Spot, as potao told me was noted at the bottom of that announcement page. Amazed that you skipped that when you saw my entire rant about Glenn's security team.

My Liking anything does not even let me keep a thumbnail of what I Liked, so I have lost any incentive. I don't need the damn Cruz. Give me Banquets. I only liked Snap when I thought that I could save outfit combinations, but the system is more backwards than I would have hoped. I do not even see why they added a separate Snap section when all it does is send you to your Closet, which permanently has the obtrusive button right there. Might as well cover all of these avatars with buttons and menus even more.

How does one person with such an unappealing set get that many? Maybe the outfit was actually cute at first, but she decided to suddenly change the Snap. Snap stupidly keeps it all under one entry. Also some people have dozens of Princess Mates, and it is all shown by active rank.

Voltage again made things about impossible competition instead about enjoyment. It disgusts me when everyone goes around shouting, "Vote for meeeee" or "Like my post!!!!!" It just makes me less inclined to oblige for all the witless crowd mentality, and I am not about to change my ideology. I am tempted to paste all of the items I wrote over several years about my deeply rooted distaste in this, but I shall hold back.

Guys, is it even possible to date 1millions time until 14/5 to unlock Zain's MS?

Arisa-chan · **Reply #1247 on:** May 01, 2015, 05:09:43 PM

Isn't we dates the same amount for Christmas tree last year?
and since we made it...of course if we still have that many devoted player...especially with Zain, we'll get it for sure
Plus...this time we don't have to date in one specific place

@Aiwei: I do remember that long talks...
Keith - Liberty - US...so obviously

Ava · **Reply #1248 on:** May 01, 2015, 05:13:07 PM

[member=17074]xKimmiex[/member] if Voltage will want us to reach it, we'll reach it.

Seriously I call this date counter a bullsh*t.
As long as it's not a real time one where I can see the changes myself, no one will make me think otherwise.

Also why the new town event clothes so ugly ;-; Makes not really want to try at all *whine whine whine* lol

xKimmiex · **Reply #1249 on:** May 01, 2015, 05:20:14 PM

Hmm I don't actually remember how much was set for the christmas tree. Well there's nothing more to do than keeping track of time and hit that date button as if it was a matter of life or death. :)

But was it 1 million though?

And I haven't heard of the big deal over the second jacket button until now

I only knew of this cultural custom from reading manga, but it's not an uncommon thing.

"The second button from the top of a male's uniform is often given away to a female he is in love with, and is considered a way of confession. The second button is the one closest to the heart and is said to contain the emotions from all three years attendance at the school. This practice was apparently made popular by a scene in a novel by Taijun Takeda."
-from Wikipedia

I have 8 likes, gals. xD That's more than I get on average when I post a profile picture on Facebook. Lolol, I'm kidding. I don't really care how many likes I get, but it's interesting to see who presses that little crown on my profile. (Why does it say "Royal" anyway?)

These sorts of competitions always make me think it's a popularity contest more than anything. If people advertise their entry, and I happen to genuinely like it, I'll vote for it because I'm generally a nice person. I also don't advertise my own entry. If you like my Snap, I'll assume - unless you tell me otherwise - it's due to at least one of three things: 1) you know me 2) you want the Cruz and I popped up randomly, or 3) you're reciprocating because I'd liked yours earlier.

Arisa-chan · **Reply #1251 on:** May 01, 2015, 05:48:09 PM

I vote the snap just because I want more cruz
and I only vote for the coordination that I like

You put that much more elegantly than the dissertation I wrote in January 2013 that I almost wanted to slap down here~ It is sad how predictable this is, and it only serves to give me a headache because of my pessimistic cynicism in humanity.

I think getting the dates we need for Zain is absolutely possible, but just like [member=7017]Ava[/member] I don't believe the count at all. I can't believe it after the Christmas event, because I'm convinced we didn't make it back then. It was a time when we were dating in spots we needed for upgrades, I know I did, because I had nothing I could upgrade, but needed upgrades to finish the event. After they gave us the numbers I was sure we couldn't make it at all, yet we did... So I'd also prefer a life count. But I'm glad to see it's all spots this time.

I don't like how this voting is going. It isn't about liking what you see, but about doing someone a favor. I'll vote for the people I know/my mates and if I like someone's avatar, but mainy to do them a favor and for cruz XD But I bet the first in the ranking knows people, maybe a Tumblr blog or something.

Ava · **Reply #1254 on:** May 01, 2015, 07:59:42 PM

The snap thingy is mostly about exposure... more people have a chance to see you, more likes you get. And there's no limit to snaps daily lol.
It's a useless function really, it's not like you actually win anything there (at least in LT you're not winning anything besides trophies, I assume it's the same in here)
I'm actually surprised people go for so many likes (also that sentence is so hypocrite of me when I'm #3 lol, though I just wanna annoy the person that's currently number 1 (don't ask))
Also

Ahh [member=6080]tssf[/member] has a point with the miraculous christmas event too. We shouldn't have made it there, yet we did. One more argument to my "counter is bullsh*t" bag

[member=7333]Aiwethryne[/member] Haha, you flatter me. Who's the journalist here?
It looks like I'm more of a pessimist than I thought, though there was a time in high school when I labeled myself a misanthrope, so I guess there's still a healthy dose of cynicism in me.

That's a cute image, [member=7017]Ava[/member]. ^^ Good motto to live by.

flavoura · **Reply #1256 on:** May 01, 2015, 11:22:28 PM

I searched the word 'misanthrope' in google

My first time doing dates together to unlock something (in this case it's to open Zain's route) >w< can't wait when the current count dates will be revealed. Anyone here aiming for Ed's violet eyes bonus? my friend changed her prince's route right away although she's already near the SNE prize of another prince's^^'

It is said we can do as many snaps as we want to 'expose' more our own avatar. I only voted 20x mostly for my pmates (I had 8) and those with outfits combination I really like best or find super cute. But once I found my self over-voted at 20 limits to get cruz, I immediately stop to wait and just see. Especially with my quite limited mobile's internet quota. But of course it didn't hurt to keep voting :)

potao · **Reply #1257 on:** May 02, 2015, 12:57:58 AM

I don't get why they let you see the overall rankings before the current round ends. It only creates an even larger gap between votes, if anything.
The only way to keep it as fair as possible would be to let you be unable to Like your Mates' Snaps unless you come across it through the Newest or Random Tab on the Snap Page.
and no offense to the highest ranking peeps, but I've seen better, or at least more original avatars in my time ;w; SHE Clear Dress + Full Clear BG + Petal Shower does not a best coordinated outfit make...I guess that'll be the pattern for those outfits for now on otl

Also, I dunno why BMPP bothers to give us this community aspect part of things through the "Dates" thing. It would be pretty disadvantageous in the long run for BMPLT to have things that BMPP doesn't, esp. something huge like a Main Story which comes with Date Spots and stuff.

Aiwethryne · **Reply #1258 on:** May 02, 2015, 02:26:20 AM

The top ranking outfits are only getting uglier and oddly the same as all the ones they are next to. >__> I went to the Snap to check out what pretty things people are wearing, and I was sorely disappointed. As I said, players will change their attire suddenly, and that becomes the display picture, as uncute as they may be for all those Likes. Even though I Liked it out of sheer accident, I really thought that Washu's avatar was utterly adorable eighteen hours ago, but the one she has set now is a hundred times lamer. And these are the things people see in the top 27.

Then I went to people's Talk Boards and they are filled with the "Thx for liking my outfit! I'll like yours!" and "Your outfit is so pretty! Like mine too for rank?" *eye roll* I do not mind when people tell others that they created something and want people to enjoy it by telling others, but it gets on my nerves when they go around specifically to coax people for Likes/Follows/Watchers/Reblogs.
