I know this is the popular poll but I swear half of these characters are options every (other) month. The lack of diversity is kinda disappointing

Velvet! Nice. Any love for Vanillaware ladies is always great. Have you ever drawn Kongiku or Yuzuriha; that'd be amazing to see!

Well, remember.. if thirty percent got what they wanted, that means seventy percent didn’t. And some may never see what they want at all. That’s democracy for you. ^^

Well I always fall into that third category so it's just annoying to see the same few characters win all the time. Idk

Do they win all the time, or just show up as candidates all the time? Because it would make sense to carry over previous losers who still did well. It's probably pretty frustrating to see your favorite candidate come in second every time (Tharja fans, I'm looking at you). Once a candidate actually wins, they stop showing up, and new candidates can move in.

Maybe the way polls are conducted could be changed. Instead of wiping numbers after each poll, options could have their numbers carry over to the next poll if the option is suggested again. This would allow even unpopular options to eventually "win" by accumulating votes over a long period of time. If an option wins, its numbers get wiped. It would be more complicated in that you'd have to track numbers for all the options suggested, but in the long run could alleviate the feeling of wasting your votes, because your chosen option never wins. Full disclaimer: I am obviously writing this, so my suggestion (Ranma) can win eventually :p

seems like a ton of work and it's not even fair, because poll numbers may change depending on how many voted, so those voted during more popular months get unfair advantages, as the options are generally the same amount; plus some polls will have very unpopular other options and some picks may unfairly get a fuckload of votes not because of their merit as it becomes relativity game within each poll roster finally, what decides when something is high enough to win? 1000 points? so we will have some monthly polls where the winner is just mentioned there to take the victory and voting it will just be wasted votes; repeat this cycle for a bit and every single poll's winner will not matter, as numbers adding up will always outodo the results of a single poll; plus keeping track of this whole system for the voters to make sure their vote wasn't given to the already-confirmed winner seems bizarre, in the end you'll waste more votes than what you want to avoid; having completely random picks means that a month can have very "unpopular popular" rosters so an unlikely winner will win; besides, by doing rack-up only the highest tier of rackups will win and consistently get more votes every month, meaning that your less famous pick will actually get submerged in built-up disadvantage that's never, ever gonna be reached if you assume 6 choices per month, so that ensures your pick goes from low chance to objective zero chance until all the biggest characters are drawn; this system creates a more objective-based popularity ranking, which will go against your original intention

1. I don't see why voting during more popular months should net any kind of advantage, every option should benefit from proportionally higher votes then. 2. When there are such votes, the popular option just wins and the the other options accumulate some votes for the future, I don't see where the problem is there either. 3. The condition for an option to win is having the most accumulated votes since appearing in the poll. The whole point of this style of polling is for options to gain votes over time until their victory is ensured. It could very well happen that after a few months none of the most voted for options actually win anymore, but they too gain votes and their victory will only be delayed. I actually believe it is the other way around: from now objective 0% chance (suggested for the last 3 months, always 7%; I don't believe people will suddenly change their tastes, but I'm stubborn) to a guaranteed win sometime down the line. And like I said, to ensure less popular options don't get submerged it is necessary that winners are reset down to 0 votes. Maybe banning winning options from appearing in polls for a few months could also be considered. And if an option consistently gets at least 1 vote, it will eventually win (even if it takes years). Anyway, this was only a suggestion meant for people to discuss. It can obviously still be improved upon, but is in my eyes better than the current system. Tyranny of the majority is a thing after all ^^ In the end, you are the one who decides what to do. I'll still continue to suggest Ranma in the slim hope she'll win someday.
