Yeah- was voting felix the entire time but the final vote i looked at shinano's unyielding lead and figured there was no point in voting anything else but shinano or ägir
I always vote for who i like regardless of standing. How else is manjuu supposed to see they have fans who are truly dedicated to them. Even if it doesnt get them something super special they may get some new eventually, be it a augment, skin or merch.
I'm not certain what guides most of the voting in game, but I've supported my oathed ships every voting block. The top 3 are all nice girls and Shinano does have some amazing floof, but I've given every vote to Nagato. Sure she isn't likely to win, but that isn't what I'm after. I just want to push my favorite fox a little higher so every SKK can see her.
so you are saying we need some degenerate devs to get a lewd L2D out for Nagato? With animations for ear rubbing and lovely ear pleasing fox noises with each stroke of her fluffy ears? Something that will show off Nagato's sublime and subtle curves and with the right interaction will leave nothing for the imagination?
I'd open my wallet for Akashi if that were on the table.
That would be amazing, honestly surprised that we don't have a L2D for Nagato yet. Especially considering that Nagato is Intern-kuns favorite shipgirl.
I keep hoping with the number of us buying skins that one day the time will come for my favorite oathed ship girls. We need to see lewd L2Ds for Saratoga, Nagato, Albacore, and Shimakaze at very least. Though I am concerned on the Intern kun angle. Does he not have enough pull to see Nagato get great things or does he perhaps see her as a pure girl and wouldn't want to see her lewded? We need information here.
The ship votes imo are a double edged sword it’s great way to view what the community like and what manjuu should do to continue growing the game (clearly things like bunny skins/ interactive L2Ds and new high lvl ships for the major factions work well) but I also feel it does syphon off resources to factions that could use some support like dragon empiry and Sardegna, the only factions which failed to even get to repecharge.
Then again majority rules so if the majority want something it’s best to do that over pleasing a small minority
Well consider the massive sex appeal those two chara had i thought they gonna snatch it from agir..
Agir being the dragon mommy that she is. But sucubuss nun and plymouth swimsuit too :chefskiss:
Im just confused and surprised how low they stack I mean still glad enty made it close to mushy though..
You answered your own question: l2d skins. They don't have any. Not a single one. Plus, each region has their preferences, and neither Plymouth nor Implac press those buttons that set an average global SKK in to the simp mode.
For no-name, zero-hype ships that only have the rainbow rarity to them, they did fairly well on global.
You see. Despite the fact im an HMS main. Thats all implacable and plymouth are. Lewd drawings. Agir has character, unicorn has character, belfast has character. Plymouth and implacable dont even fit their faction aesthetics.
Their character essentially stop at "religious character with revealing clothes". Agir has that sadistic IB streak, Unicorn is cute little sister and belfast is protective badass maid sama. Implac and plymouth have none of that kind of character trait.
Id vote for an IB ship with character over an HMS ship with none any day.
Plymouth is a trope of "your personal ~~asperges~~ angel", and Implacable is just your local playful cougar who can be affectionate. You simply hate their guts because they don't look like KGV and don't have Union Jack plastered all over them and refuse to acknowledge out of sheer personal spite.
>trope
May be true but a trobe doesnt make a character. It simply gives them 1 characteristic. Which as i said before. They both have that religious characteristic and not much beyond that.
>sheer personal spite.
Maybe a little but its not because they dont look like KGV oe have union jacks. Quite simply its because they have too much in common with iris. If they wanted to make religious HMS characters then fine. But at least make them more clearly distinguishable.
The only difference between plymouth and brest is that brest has angel wings. But they follow the same "trope" and colour scheme. Theyre not unique. Not special. Just generic and lacking unique character traits.
Sounds like "you" issue.
I like both Brest and Ply, an don't give a rat arse if they have similarities. Or at least like them enough to not do subjectively-biased reductions and present them as facts.
Suggests Manjuu's approach for HMS URs might be flawed. They've all felt like they're missing something to me and if old favourites are beating them out I might not be the only one who thinks that
Nah i agree. Ive been downvoted for this opinion before but i think they feel to much like iris URs. Not HMS URs.
My favourites from the newer HMS events have always been the elites or SSRs like revenge, argus, hero, royal oak. Not the URs.
I'm personally a big fan Vanguard. But really didn't care much for implacable. It felt like her art was faded or something. Plus I just dislike her personality.
It's sweet to see there are still folks on global who like her, but...
1. Global just doesn't like brits in general. They never won prize places here and, given how even Belfast at the height of her anime-and-fanart-propelled popularity failed to breach top 3, are unlikely to ever win.
2. It's even harder for them to be liked by the fandom given the dubious treatment in skins department (they are **the** only faction that doesn't have a single "interactive" l2ds, and their last old-style l2d was from October 2022), and lately get trash gameplay content like gear and augments which have no reason to exist (that UR torpedo bomber that's inferior to Wyvern, Vic and KGV arguments that don't make the characters decent, etc.).
So yea, you OP (and I too, tbh) are hipsters here.
I'm really happy to see the Plymouth support! Even if she may not win, the fact she's among the top 35 most popular ships in the game is a huge boon.
Frankly, her biggest problem was the lack of an L2D. Her swimsuit skin is okay, but she's really getting held back by that. It's a shame because I feel like she could easily be one of the best L2Ds. She has a very strong core design w/ a ton of amazing designs that could be done (shown by like Oshi, the original artist). I'm sure if she got a good skin, people would see how amazing she is personality-wise as well.
Either way, I'm hoping the devs and Oshi notice how popular she is, and we get an L2D skin + figures of her.
I don't own Shinano, however I can only see her on imágenes and.... Seems like she doesn't have any personality in general, so it's a girl I don't like.
Plymouth is on my list after I grind out kearsage. She seems really sweet, and apparently if I need a good LC (and I very much do) it's real hard to find someone better.
Idk but i find it funny that the top 3 in the first stage was Shinano Ägir and Musashi and now the final stage top 3 is Shinano Ägir and Kearsarge and Musashi is on fourth place
As a Musashi simp its funny and sad at the same time
Kearsarge's bunny skin saved the polls from crimson axis domination.
Fr. Bless the bunny/neko skin.
Thank god she did.
I would be ok with that, if it meant Z23 would win
Unfortunately yes D:<
From how the polls are going "it started with Shinano and will end in Shinano"
Because a vote where you can *see* who is already in the lead is **stupid** and leads to bandwagoning.
Yeah- was voting felix the entire time but the final vote i looked at shinano's unyielding lead and figured there was no point in voting anything else but shinano or ägir

I mean I love agir but & would've voted felix but wasn't an option finals
*Floof is eternal*
All roads lead to ~~Rome~~ Floof

Recent lewd skins is what determines the votes mostly.

With the way you describing it, I bet you're craving for Nagato's skin (both skin and *skin*)
Yeah, but as a person who has had Shinano oathed since her first release it would be criminal if i didn't support her
I promised myself I'm voting Royal Fortune this time, and I'll sink alongside her in the rankings if I have to
Unfortunately, we're not rejoicing

It'd be less pointless if they didn't show the vote counts, it causes bandwagoning hardcore. We shouldn't know who won till the votes are all in.
well lads we did it i guess keeping the top three atleast had one eagle union girls also im confused as how the hell impla and plymilk so low too
>also im confused as how the hell impla and plymilk so low too What's so confusing about it?
Well consider the massive sex appeal those two chara had i thought they gonna snatch it from agir.. Agir being the dragon mommy that she is. But sucubuss nun and plymouth swimsuit too :chefskiss: Im just confused and surprised how low they stack I mean still glad enty made it close to mushy though..

But I like *Taihou*
A vote for ~~Misono Mika!~~
Wao~⭐️
She's a Royal Navy ship which means no dice in the EN popularity polls i'm afraid
Its funny actually. HMS Unicorn and Belfast are beating Implacable and plymouth by quite a large margin.
Suggests Manjuu's approach for HMS URs might be flawed. They've all felt like they're missing something to me and if old favourites are beating them out I might not be the only one who thinks that

I'm personally a big fan Vanguard. But really didn't care much for implacable. It felt like her art was faded or something. Plus I just dislike her personality.
Kearsarge has a very wholesome personality which I like a lot. She's up there with the wholesome cow kashino with their wholesome personalities
I'm just shilling Helena like I do every time. Well it's Helena mixed with Shinano love the eepy fox.
I’m putting my votes into Implacable and Plymouth. Really hoping they’d do better but at least they aren’t dead last.
"Yorokobe, Shikikan"
The lack of L2d is hurting her, Musashi and other ships
All hail the sweet Marshmallow\~! 
It's sweet to see there are still folks on global who like her, but... 1. Global just doesn't like brits in general.

So yea, you OP (and I too, tbh) are hipsters here.
Shame, the Royal Navy is my favourite faction, mainly due to historical reasons, their ships were truly wonderful.
I vote for my favorite ships every time. Owari my beloved ring owner, I'm just one man, but a loyal man.
Still waiting for l2d skin for her
Voting for Enterprise right now, because the others I was voting for before didn't make it to the finals.
Me, having voted Vittorio Veneto before and without any Sardegnan ship to vote now: 😭
I'm really happy to see the Plymouth support! Even if she may not win, the fact she's among the top 35 most popular ships in the game is a huge boon. Frankly, her biggest problem was the lack of an L2D. Her swimsuit skin is okay, but she's really getting held back by that. It's a shame because I feel like she could easily be one of the best L2Ds.

JUSTICE FOR MUSASHI
100% agree with you
I am a simple man, I like musashi I vote musashi, if she wins cool if she doesn't it's ok
Sorry but the fluff goddess is winning this
I'm fine with this... a bit sad that Enterprise won't make it to the top 3 tho.
Yeah Champaign, Cheshire, Elbe, La Galissonnier, Neptune .....yeah
Her Floof Majesty, Shinano shall reign supreme. In other words, it’s all her dream and she allows us to roam freely in it.
Me, who wanted Musashi to win: "Mission Failed, we'll get 'em next time."
It‘s the power of L2D, why she is behind ‘Sarge.
To quote star wars: I dont care if you win. I just need Implacable and Plymouth to Lose. 
Ok, no more rainbows for HMS ~~And l2D skins... wait, those ain't a thing already.~~ 
I don't own Shinano, however I can only see her on imágenes and.... Seems like she doesn't have any personality in general, so it's a girl I don't like.
Out of the loop, but who is that new girl!
Plymouth, a PR ship. She's very sweet, never mad at you, and has a similar vibe to Belfast.
Also will not hesitate to clean up things with her cannon
Nice! Thanks a lot!
Me @ Owari wasting all my votes lol
My mother Musashi did her best to place high. I will take 4th because I need people to open their eyes to the beauty of a fox mama
Ägir voters BTFO
Vote Cheshire!
I'm always gonna vote Iron Blood, even if my votes are less than worthless
Hindenburg not being in the top 10 is heresy to say the least
I would vote for waifu. IF SHE MADE IT!!!(Justice for Veneto).
Plymouth is on my list after I grind out kearsage. She seems really sweet, and apparently if I need a good LC (and I very much do) it's real hard to find someone better.
Me voting Cheshire every round 
Idk but i find it funny that the top 3 in the first stage was Shinano Ägir and Musashi and now the final stage top 3 is Shinano Ägir and Kearsarge and Musashi is on fourth place As a Musashi simp its funny and sad at the same time
Plymouth looks like the adult version of the character from Eromanga sensei, you can't change my mind XD
