Did Astrid Get the Most Votes on Every Server?

[Novaura]

Scoured across the servers on my DC and noticed that Astrid won on all of them. Did this happen everywhere or does the result on your own server get shown regardless of which server you are visiting?

Can SE clear that up for us?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: They put a known-to-us cute elf girl in the hallmark colors for Valentines day, placed closer to the questgiver... against unknown highlander and elf boys, one in a garish yellow and the other in a color nowhere associated with the holiday.

Yeah, she was going to win, even if her idea was terrible.

They split the opposition vote...

Those who wanted someone not Astrid had two choices.

Not to mention the little faith I have in this community to pick an adult male winner over an underage, or barely legal at best, female character.... and that's assuming they even got past picking based only off the color of the clothing.

It's hard to say.

Between Rodrigault and Bert, it's possible they received more votes overall between them - but unless the development team release the exact numbers we'll never know for certain.

Since it was 100% across the board and we don't have actual numbers, kindda gotta wonder if there was an actual choice or just the illusion of choice, but there really was only 1 outcome. I could honestly see this happening knowing some of the shenanigans that happen behind the scenes.

They're DYEABLE.

You are why we can't have nice things.

I knew she was going to win for the sole reason that she was cute, pink hair, red heart on her face, her outfit color was red. She was basically a walking Valentine's day so these results didn't shock me.

Honestly, I was open to voting for someone other than Astrid. But after reading the ideas for all three on how to help the guy's love life, hers was the best, in my mind. Not that it was a GOOD idea, mind - romancing your customers sounds like a pretty sketchy business model. Still better than Bert's idea (which is to take up a hobby, for someone whose free time is already extremely limited) or Rodrigault's (to isolate oneself from others completely).

So, she got my vote.

Rodrigault's idea wasn't intended to isolate Ywain, though. It was to help him figure out exactly what he was looking for - since Ywain didn't answer any of the questions posed to him to any significant degree. It also fit his character the most overall, since the man is prone to being serious and dutiful. Thoughtful reflection was something that would have likely led somewhere - and granted him the confidence and clarity of mind that the other two routes simply did not provide.
