I cant really say anything about Accel World since it was the one that started high and probably continue to wrong at a constant speed.
As for FMP i think its normal since it is a great LN.

"And one other thing...no campaigning or touting here." I agree Accel is great! But for FMP to be in second without campaign? Sorry but it's pretty hard to believe dont ya think so? FMP here in the forum was like total out of top its just strange

That's not fair, Muv-Luv didn't jump up so much so fast as to be considered a deus ex machina. :|
Meh, Muv-Luv still had a jump of about 80 in a night...

At this rate, FMP may exceed AW when poll ended (assuming the AW faction don't counter it with more campaign of course).

And well, maybe the person who voted for Mismarca realized that winning is impossible, and thus switched side to the big 4 (like me :lol: )

Sometimes, I just wonder whether it's the right thing to have a poll after the last time.

Well, using it to promote our FB fanpage was rather effective, I should say.

However, I will have to talk with TLG regarding whether a few series can be hosted on Baka Tsuki.

Benefit : The translator know the readers composition, BT got promoted there and there, more people come here.
Loss : Spam, bot, death mails(?), not very good discussions about BT there and there.

This is true at least.

Consider this my update tonight, car's don't fix themselves, and seemingly two layers of pants in hundred degree heat (and laying on the sun-bathed cement) is a nice way to heat exhaustion. :roll:

Just because a series is licensed does not mean the books will be sold. I mean look at Shakugan no Shana and how it only has 2 volumes translated to English that are for sale and then no more. There are others as well I am sure but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Yes, but since the future look bleak, I switched side to my second choice MuvLuv.

Thats because for those did translators volunteer and started the projects. It has nothing to do with the poll. The poll was created by a different translator, who was unsure what he should translate next. (btw. I still think he should have chosen the project he liked the most - without a poll, because polls like that are nearly always manipulated... :evil: )

Also you should keep in mind that in the end the translator does choose which series he want to translate. (In this case its said one of the four, that doesnt mean that he will choose the winner... :twisted: )
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.
