Gonna be looking into Attack on Titan, for sure. Aku no Hana is... something I'm also onboard for. Because I know there will be absolutely no middle ground for this show. It's either gonna be the best show of the season or one of the worst. I'm definitely looking into Gargantia, too.

My chances of watching Majestic Prince is left up to impressions, as I already said. I like a lot of the stuff that's come out of the media for the show, but I'm not at all confident that the actual work will live up to any of it.

Alright, guys. Stuff has been fixed.

Tomorrow I'll add a proper OreImo 2 banner as per Articalys' request and also stuff like Otona Joshi as per duckroll's request.

Ya'll go ahead and have a good one.

Every week we take a vote on the best episode of all the shows. Can't vote for your own show.

At the end of the season, the show with the highest amount of votes wins, and the posters on the original bandwagons get prizes. The rest have to don avatars related to the winning show for some length of time proportional to the difference between their show and the winning show.

So many things can go wrong.

I could see the weekly voting working. The rest is too convoluted to retain the attention of everybody here.

Like, we could have a weekly poll to see what was the best episode for the week. Stuff like that. Nothing to do with the shipping war.

Whoa, now that's a spectacular OP.
Good Job Brazil!

Time for me to finally decide what I'll be watching.

Because you all suck at math.

Including firehawk.

(I didn't even make a formula yet, geez)

If I can remember the hypewagons:

Majestic Prince: duckroll

Muromi: instro

Aku no Hana: me, wonzo

Datealive: men of discerning taste aka IS "fans"

shingeki: branduil

Azazel-san: me. I believe in the true shit eater.

Actually it will be quite easy for Aku no Hana to end up being just another middling show. It happens to dozens of "interesting" shows every year.

Stop making gambling sound so interesting. You already fucked everyone up the last time in the manga thread, you're just exporting the formula to animegaf now! >_<

The main reason for the weekly voting is so the losers can slowly suffer as they see their inevitable punishment increase.

Yes I'm a sadist.

This time it'll be even better.

I'll be watching (unless they REALLY start to suck):

Aku no Hana
Shingeki no Kyojin
Majestic Prince
Valrave the Liberator
Suisei no Gargantia

I'll try out a bunch of other stuff, nothing really stands out, but we'll see.

But how do we account for longer shows and shorter shows. Surely on the normal formula a 1-cour series would have less risk than a 2-cour series, etc.

My priorities:

Date A Live
Railgun
Oreimo
Aku no Hana
Devil Survivor 2
Shingeki no Kyojin

The problem with this idea is it's like baseball players betting against their own team. We control the outcome.

I think this would be better without any voting going on. That's what made his last betting pool so appealing in the manga thread, because there wasn't any sort of voting going on, it was entirely a bet on something which would be factually revealed!

It's not about analyzing risk, it's about putting something on the line for what you believe in.
We extend it to the whole year and use AOTY rules.

People would lose interest too fast then >_>

If I wanted to make it more interesting, I could open voting to EVERY unique GAF member. Campaign for your favorite shows! Call in favors to boost your faction! It's all out war!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Also sounds horrible. Let's just not have bets!

But the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. It's totally contrived and illogical. For example, I'm watching [x] shows which I think will be good. I select one or more which I really believe in. And... then what? I'm certainly not going to watch any show I don't care for, so why would I vote for those? I don't get it!

Did we really ruin your fun though? If you make a bad product and people respond negatively is that really the consumers' fault? IS IT?! lol.

In all seriousness, it's too confusing and risky for me to do that kind of ban bet.
