Diao Chan still ranks 1st in my second round of data analysis, even though I said her PH version will surely be out this month. She's about $20 worth of more votes than the 2nd. (It's a weighted poll, your one vote will be multiplied by your weight, that is your lifetime donation/pledge amount.)

If Diao Chan continues to be the 1st till the end of the poll, I may consider releasing the 2nd in my rankings as well at the beginning of November. Otherwise, the race will be boring....

================= Updated 9/19 below =================

A few people said to me that the last poll was unfair because patrons and non-patrons are treated the same. I did that because I have a whole lot of Chinese followers who pay as well but not on Patreon. I have to take them into consideration, plus I'm not so popular as Roy as you know, I need more votes to make the poll more like a poll...

This time, I'll set a time limiting poll, that ends 30 days later. And all the poll candidates are ones that are not in my request list. That means, I make this chara mod only because it's the result of this poll.

And to avoid unfair problem, I'll take a weighted poll. If your accumulated pledge is $5, then I'll multiply your vote by that $5 and some other factors. About details, refer to the RULES section.

Because this kind of poll needs some further calculation, and I will take my Chinese followers' donation into account, the end result will differ dramatically from the poll result shown here. And I'll manually update the temporary REAL result here everyday. Hope you trust me on this poll, and I'll show you the details of who votes what at the end of the poll.

VOTE RULES:

1) You can only choose one character. The poll ends at China Standard Time (CST) 10/17/2018 11:59PM, 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

2) About weights.
a. A non-patron's vote will be counted as 1 vote.
b. A $1 patron who became my patron this month, their vote will be counted as $0.63 ( the amount that I get after Patreon charges the fee, I'll call it R in the following texts) * 6.8 (USD/RMB exchange rate will be considered this no matter what the real one is) + 1 (the non-patron part), that is 5.28 votes (nearly the same weight as my Chinese followers' votes)
c. This weight is accumulative, that means last month's pledge will also be considered. A $1 patron who became my patron last month, their vote will be counted as 2 (times) * $0.63 * 6.8 + 1 = 9.57
d. For $2, the R is 1.56, it's counted as $1.56 * 6.8 + 1 = 11.61
e. For $5, the R is 4.37, it's counted as $4.37 * 6.8 + 1 = 30.72
f. For $10, the R is 9.02, it's counted as $9.02 * 6.8 + 1 = 62.34
g. For $20, the R is 18.22, it's counted as $18.22 * 6.8 + 1 = 124.90 etc

3) This poll will be combined with my poll in China. And I'll update the real result everyday in this post.

4) Unlike my last poll, only the one who ranks the first will be done next month this time, while others are NOT guaranteed to be done in the future. But similar polls will be very likely in the future (maybe not limited to DW9 girls).

I know the rules are a little bit complicated. I'll take the calculation, you can just watch the race. I think it'll be interesting. After the poll ends, I'll release the mod that ranks 1st before the end of October.

About Diao Chan and Yueying, Diao Chan's PH version will surely be out this month. Yueying, no. 3 in my last poll, will very likely be out earlier than all of these above.

==========================================================

Another thing, someone said to me they had credit card problems, and could not pay through Patreon to get access to my mods. I think they may not be the only one who has this problem. I don't know if there is a systematic way to solve this problem, or if there's any alternative to Patreon. If there is, please tell me. I know we have QQ group and ??? in China (but very hard to manage, that's why Patreon charge so much maybe).

Now, the temporary way I can think of is you pay via email eksyth24@outlook.com to my Paypal account, and send me an email to the same address.

After that, comment under my latest post on Patreon, so that I know you have paid. (Because I don't check mailbox regularly.)

Then I'll send you back the mod that you want as attachment (only for mods that are already released).

Quite complicated, isn't it? That's why I wish there could be some systematic way....
