Voting Gauntlet: Brave Rivalries! (August 29th)

[Vaximillian]

Good, good!

[Ginko]

Round 2 begins, good luck to all. 

[Xenomata]

Wait was Alm the only Brave Echo to not win R1?

Wow... that's kinda sad. Think I'll head over to Micaiah and have WoM!Hinoka support.

@Anacybele is it really worth missing out on feathers, orbs, and hard to get resources just because everyone you'd support is out?

Guess I'm joining Eliwood. If he loses, I don't think I'll participate anymore. There won't be anyone left I'd be interested in joining at all.

Do you also dislike Berkut? I didn't remember that. If so, instead of losing the rewards you could simply join the rest of Ike's fans in team Micaiah and fight for Tellius. Putting aside differences for the good of Tellius, which is the whole message of Radiant Dawn I guess.

Or you could join whoever is against Micaiah to avenge Ike like lots of players do in VGs. Your call.

[Vicious Sal]

Why would Micaiah’s win be undeserved? She was ahead and Ike got a massive multiplier to help him in the last hour and he still lost. That just means Micaiah deserves the win.

[Diovani Bressan]

@Xenomata This question doesn't work with her. Some people, including me, already asked it before in previous VG topics and the answer is always the same: "I don't care".

@Vicious Sal It's because she likes Ike and dislikes Micaiah. It was the same in the Children's Day VG, which "Tiki deserved more than Nino" or "Yune was the best character in that VG", even that it's clear that Nino was the most popular character in all 3 rounds of that VG.

Yune had her victory since the first hour, and she deserved this victory. Ike winning because he got the multiplier, despite being less popular than Micaiah in this VG would not be a fair win, like previous VGs. And honestly... I am happy that Ike lost.

Welp, I am jumping over to Berkut I guess. I don't have any of the others. Though technically I haven't used my free pick yet. But I was planning to pick Micaiah if I didn't get anything from the banner, and that appears to be what will be the case. So if I help Berkut win I may also help him stab me in the foot at the same time. But he'll enjoy that I am sure.

Do behind units always get multipliers to catch up in points? If so, that's not really fair, is it?

Hello! Are you a new player in FEH?

I wish people would stop asking me this every time I say I'll skip or might skip a round. I've done it before, it doesn't matter to me.

No, but I also don't like Berkut either since I didn't play enough of Echoes to form a real opinion of him. I don't like Micaiah at all, nor do I have her, so there's no reason for me to join her. I do have Eliwood and Alm, that's why I wanted to join them.

Nope, we've talked on previous VG topics! I just don't read much on it and wasn't too sure on how it worked.

Oh, ok.

Voting Gauntlets grant some bonus multipliers to the one that is behind, so this character can catch up.

It started in the 3rd VG, because they didn't want it to happen again:

Yup, they do. And it’s pretty much all because salty sore losers couldn’t handle watching Lucina and Camilla destroy their teams in the first two gauntlets (neither of which had this multiplier shit).

Oh and if anyone cares, I’m with Camilla now after Ike’s expected defeat.

Excuse me, if I recall, most people were just bored because the winners were obvious from the beginning. I know I was bored.

Ouch... that's pretty bad. But if it happens, then the character ahead deserved it, I think.

Oh, I can understand this, people are always salty after losing, what's changed? It's too bad people take it so seriously, though.

The disadvantage multiplier triggers in the 2nd hour forward, so you can see who deserves to win in the 2nd hour of each round. Round 1 was Micaiah, Berkut, Eliwood and Camilla that deserved to win. The 2nd round shows that Micaiah and Camilla are the ones that deserves the victory.

This is just a game mode. I also don't know why people takes it so serious... If the reward fof winning was orbs, yes... I would be salty by losing orbs... But it's just 500 feathers, which can be easily obtained.

The match-ups being predictable should have been solved by making the match-ups less predictable instead of introducing rubberbanding that tends to punish bigger teams for success.

No way. That lowers the number of matchups we can possibly have and by extension, the gauntlet themes we can have. Imo, this mode should've never been treated as a popularity contest at all.

But “popularity contest” is the whole premise of the mode to begin with. You suggest that the mode should have never existed, and I can’t not agree.

Except you never really just voted in this mode, you battled to raise a score and get the highest.

Victory for Berkut!

[Xenomata]

@Anacybele No, if you didn't care you'd do the 5 required battles per round and then ditch the mode til the next round. What you're doing is boycotting the mode once things stop going your way.
You do no one any favors by saying you aren't going partake at all: you as a single person don't affect the sway of the results pretty much at all, you don't get any valuable resources, and then here you are attracting attention you're sick of getting. People would at least understand if you picked a side, did the 5 battles, and left it at that.

But whatever, you do you I guess. Not like I'm a big fan of these gauntlets anyway...

But your score is in favour of one of the contestants, and thus is the measure of their “popularity”. The more players on a given team raise scores, the better the contestant is doing.
