FINALY VOTE CAST! I didn't miss a day this year! =D 7 Elena votes DONE! I did my part. Now, let's see where she places this year! ❤️

[Some Jerk]

And now to piss off both the "Why didn't you stay loyal!?" and "Why did you back Gatekeeper!?" crowds in one image by giving a single vote to my favorite:

[Sunwoo]

I voted for Tormod, Reinhardt, and Luthier. Then I vote for Eirika twice and Marth twice.

[LoneStar]

Well final vote went to Marianne. I didn't support Gatekeeper, but can we make history?

What's the deal with female Byleth anyway? I guess most of her popularity comes from the Japanese player base, because most of the places that I look I see little to no support for her. I'd be fine with her and Corrin for next year.

I'm worried too! People getting complacent is always frightening, but with voters flocking to the 2nd and 3rd placers (especially Chrom and GK), I'm really *really* concerned about Eirika (and Marth) slipping to second or even third. I fear the latter is more likely for Marth actually, due to the aforementioned examples.

I hear ya! I heard some F Byleth fans were trying to buy votes on YouTube, but I hope those efforts were fruitless.
 

But for what it’s worth, vote #7 / 7 has been cast for Eirika!

I'll throw in a vote for Amalda and Ilios next year or something.

[Alexmender]

I voted as I said I would, now all that remains is to lay low until the Anniversary brings forth tons and tons of salt (not just for CYL but for whatever thing IS plans to do with free units). 

[Fire Emblem Fan]

My seventh vote has been cast.

1: Brom (PoR)
2: Brom (RD)
3: Brom (PoR)
4: Marth (3/12)
5: Marth (3/12)
6: Marth (3/12)
7: Brom (RD)

[NegativeExponents-]

Well I stuck to my guns and gave all two (2) of my meager votes to Marianne

I've seen a lot more support for her than F!Byleth over at the Heroes twitter so hoping that's not just a vocal minority and that she's able to make it to the top two.

[Lemmy]

I was hoping I could have jumped on a hype train during the mid week leadings, but my favorites either won or stood no chance. Probably would have give Eirika a vote if she wasn't in first place.

Plumeria

Felicia

Gatekeeper

Byleth (M)

Ranulf

Elena

Marianne

[NSSKG151]

Some things never change, like how I cast my votes in CYL. I stay loyal to my favorite to the end.

YYYYEAHH! Thanks for casting a vote her way! ^w^

[Fire Emblem Fan]

I'm seeing TONS of support and posts of ballots filled with Marth and Marianne on Twitter. I think Marth is actually gonna win this year, and Marianne might just move past Byleth!

[Jave]

And it's over. No Top 20 picks here outside of Marianne.

Pre interim result votes went to Seliph, Rhea, Pelleas.

Post interim result votes went to Eirika, Gatekeeper, Marianne, and Marth.

Now to wait for the shitstorm.

[Javi Blizz]

So my last 3 votes (I apparently missed a day) have gone to Gatekeeper 🙂

[Medeus]

Skrimir gets my final vote, for a character who manages to get a good amount of development in RD he's pretty ignored, so I'm hoping to help get him into the game. 

[Hilda]

I went with 4x Bruno and then 3x Henriette

Final vote was foooor....

Alois! The nicest knight out there. I uh....kinda forgot to vote for Tormod and Muarim this time. 

[shiningpikablu252]

Another CYL, another year of upvoting the bottom of the previous year's CYL4 barrel...

My strategy, for the record:

• Phase 1:  Bottom two males from CYL4
• Phase 2:  Bottom two females from CYL4
• Phase 3:  Next three lowest vote-getters from CYL4.  Officially this phase is regardless of gender, but given the larger base of male characters and the majority of the player base being female (witness how Edelgard was overall winner last year since the biggest bulk of the male vote had to split between Dimitri and Claude), all-male bottom fives are CYL norms...

I think you might be the only one who voted Hetzel 😅 Just like I'm the only one who voted for his boss!

[Mercakete]

Aww, but Hetzel is so nice.

Guess my favourite  era game for internet cookies!

Nergal's voteable?

I might have to put my initial votes (And the rest if he has a chance after half-way) next voting thing.
