[Request] Please release the exact voting numbers for the latest seasonal event!

[Theodric]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to learn just how many votes each candidate involved in the voting process received. I'm particularly interested in learning if Astrid truly had the majority of the votes or if Bert and Rodrigault had more overall between them.

Either way, such information would be beneficial if released to players in the name of transparency - especially given the nepotism involved in one of the candidates (and ultimate winner) being a relative of the hostess of the event in question.

As if they have any reason to publicly come out with the number of players who have completed a part of a seasonal event.

[Lauront]

Thus the reason is being supplied to them - to fulfill a player request.

They should make the figures transparent or just not bother with a vote.

[Zazay]

Well, I don't really need the exact numbers, but a dashboard with at least percentages on the colors per world would be already helpful...

[Anarnee]

Yeah I'm really interested too. I was really hoping that I could hope servers and do Rodrigault's quest if he didn't win on mine.

>: Very disappointing...

If these were real people you would have a point, but the entire thing is purely fictional.

If SE were truly setting up for one candidate to win why would they have even bothered to have a vote in the first place? There was zero controversy surrounding Astrid before and the other two are completely new characters. If SE really wanted to have only Astrid win, then why bother setting up a story with a vote? They could have just done what they did last year, and have no voting with a totally different story but still have Astrid as a central character.

You're reading way too much into this. Astrid won because of bad planning and poor decision making on characters and colours. Not because there is some conspiracy in SE.

The event was a rushed job. That's it. It's not that deep.

To me it's more a question of whether or not a game system is bugged really. (Unless it's been mentioned already and confirmed it's not)

It's a system which has produced the same result across the board when there's meant to be multiple potential results, that's a bit weird, not impossible but weird.
Numbers/percentages would have variations and the like, maybe some worlds were close, maybe it was just a massive landslide, etc but it would help show it wasn't a bug and the like.

Lisette's blatant corruption and nepotism must be punished. Let us hope that she will be forced to step down from her position before next year's event goes live.

She was pretty unhappy with me about voting for Rodrigault Off with her head!

I concur, I would even go as far as to say that Lisette, and even Astrid, should no longer be part of any seasonal events going forward. They've run their course and they stifle the ability to meet new, maybe more interesting, NPCs.

Bert and Rodrigault were a slight step in a different, and more interesting, direction. But Astrid, who people knew more about through the previous Valentione event, stole too much of the limelight.
