The Official H!PS XIV Discussion Thread

Before this started I said I would probably vote her out but I don't think I've actually done so yet haha
Idk, even though she's not my favorite or anything, she's, not that low in my rankings either. It's probably cause I commend her for her cheerful expressions when performing.

[Denki]

The strategy isn't about voting off your least favorite, but voting for someone whom is low in your rankings and already have a decent amount of votes in attempt to save your favorites.

In her group, apparently there are other people the anons don't like, which benifits Karin.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

lol, I know the strategy of voting, and I know what I do.
I'm just saying it's annoying that the "anons" as you named them haven't been going for Karin yet. >.>
(I haven't voted for Karin since the first round because of that, btw.)

[jeiwa42]

^^ Mhmmm...I'm think I sorta kinda understand. I'll keep that in mind.

[Shoujo Q]

Karin is bait that's being saved for the right time.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

what a.... smart idea. xD
So basically when she is put up against the Daaishark it will guarantee a win for the Orca right?

[rikkikow]

I should have jumped in and saved Riho but I restrained myself.
Celedam's trifecta is dead now. Sorry.

Spoiler: show

If I see any finagling going on I might have to jump in.

[rikkikow]

No worries Celedam. You still have the Exacta working.
I have a hundred dollars on it myself.

Well the good news is all my favorites are still in for... some reason. Except Masaki. Poor Masaki.

I guess since Tomoko is out I need to root for the Mini Tyrant that is Ozeki Mai.
