The 2019 Member Ranking

Hey, I have a Problem...
I have reached 100 posts, but I do not know, how to send a PM.

There is no button for it.

I need your help, Please!

 

That's the secret requirement. You have to be familiar enough with the forums (edit: or actually read the OP) to send a PM.

Click kanjo's profile pic, select "Start a Conversation"

 

This is just me nit picking now, but I just read through the rules again and noticed this part

"Use full names, last then first! I don't know everyone's nickname and we will be using a program to count the votes so they need to be exactly as written in the second post."

Because of all the international groups now, this doesn't apply to all groups anymore, such as

• JKT48
• BNK48
• CGM48
• MNL48
• DEL48

I don't know about SGO48, I'm not familiar with Vietnam, but a quick Google search said that it should be last name first (please correct me if I'm wrong). So the last name first order only applies to the groups that are situated in Japan, Chinese-speaking countries, Vietnam and Korea. It doesn't make a major difference anymore now, and I'd assume that most people will have used the correct order as stated in the lists, but if people read the rules without looking at the list of eligible members, and then their vote for (random example) Areekul Cherprang isn't counted, that could be annoying.

 

hmmmm, i didn't notice that....
I hope i didn't mess mine up

I'm too impatient for the normal pace so I'm glad for any uptick in activity, lol

 

First time participating in the Member Rankings even though I've been a member for almost 4 years. Picking and ranking 20 girls was honestly the hardest thing I've had to do pertaining to the idol world in such a long time. Hopefully I did it right and my votes get accepted because it took me about 2 days to narrow down my list lol

 

Did last year have a longer deadline to vote?

I remember complaining about the minimum post requirement for several days on a discussion and then waiting a lot more for the results. It feels like it was yesterday when kanjo announced it this time.

Maybe it's the current stay-at-home most of the time situation making time go fast.

 

Is it? Seems about the same. Having said that, not having an NGT scandal and no SSK makes for less err...friction
Either that or we are practicing social distancing even here lolz

 

Yeah, about that, are we allowed to discuss / justify our ratings here? Or after the vote is released?

 

? How this ... ...

 

There's some truth to that observation
but I think every year has gotten harder to rank (if you put your head and your heart to it)

Don't know about you, but I tried to be 50% oshi 50% reflection of <voted member> progress during 2019 when I came to my voting.
a difficult exercise as it is so much easier to vote based on oshi values by itself
so kinda waited until I watched all the Teams had a go on the streamed stages to finalize my list so at least I know I had a good look beforehand
(also why I took only until now to send in my votes too)

And yes, I did put in a -5 vote this year. But its not for who you think it is...

 

50 % hair 50 % oppai

I don't think it is Nagi

 

The list is fairly easy to do if you participated last year. The first time I made my list it took me 2-3 days, after that just one or two hours is enough.
On a side note, it's probably easier for me because my focus is mostly on one group not 7+

 

you were 5% correct there!

(plus i did say "progress" ja? Physical attributes included )
