I swear that if Kinjou wins I'll be pissed. What's the point of all the audience participation if the author is just going to ignore it in the first place?

Audience participation and what the author actually want from their story are two entirely separate matters, mind you.

Remember that at the end of the day, it's their story and characters, so who wins and who goes home is only for them to decide and no one else.

It's just like all those past reality shows where naive people voted (and paid phone calls) to support someone, yet the one ejected with less votes "made a return" next week because the show was rigged from the start.

Also I don't know if the original idea of all this remains, but we are only at three days left. Do not expect any drastic turn around of events if this is closing to an end.

Whatever happens i would be interested in seeing all the multiple endings for every girl. I can't be the only one

I think the 100 day thing is just from the first time this series was tried. I think we all assumed the likability would cap at 100% and -100% in Himekawa's case, but that went down to 110 iirc.

Don't promise audience participation if you're going to ignore it.

Again, audience participation will decide nothing at all on the outcome unless the author speciically asked the audience for it. We all have our own best girl but we can't all win now, can we?

Unless you're reading BokuBen, then my only advice is don't be like BokuBen.

Usually zombies don't think. But after Seiga's talismans, she started to think: "Huffffffff... Really? I mean... Really?"

He managed to get her vest off and pry her right tit out of heer blouse before he finally succumbed. Amazing.

It takes a special kind of monster to make Yuuka cry.

Nah, she did those things herself, though I'm not sure what happened to her vest, he definitely never actually touched her

Damn the guy pull off that Hanazama's pose

Getting lessons from the master of SCHWING SCHWING?
Fubuki too OP! PLZ NERF!

This is what a true gamer looks like.

NINTENDO SIXTY FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRR

Female? Don't SIMP.

Aaawewhhhh you bettet watch your back Nonna and Clara are not happy at all!

I remember that movie it was great

Feels good

Glasses are new.

You realize you have gone way off the deep end when an eye socket seem sexually inviting...

Beware of the dangers of hentai and internet...

I like your way of thinking and acting. lol

What armoured might, aloofly ample !
And in that steed what fire, what force!
Where are you galloping, proud horse,
And where will those hooves plunge and trample ?

Let me guest at the next page of this story..

MULTI TRACK DORIFTO?

Shimakaze finally found something fast enough for her.

(That is, if Vladivostok even has a connection to the Trans Siberian Railway. I’m no expert on train lines.)

Trans-Siberian had been built specifically to connect the Central (i.e. European) Russia to Vladivostok.

More like "When this train hits 88 mph...you're going to see some serious shit".
(Note that the current train has a maximum operational speed of 62 mph)

Trans-Siberian is electrified in different current types, so they have to change the locomotive at least in Mariinsk (see map), but judging by current 1/2 and 99/100 trains' route, they will go via Ekaterinburg, so it goes up to 11 (no shit joke, it takes around 11 locomotive changes (and usually, even more!) on this route due to Russian railroad regulations).
And during the changes, something quite modern which can make up to 140 or even 160 kph (87 and 100 mph respectively) may be coupled in.
The other problem is the cars seem to be Soviet and East German-made, and they do have speed limit of 120 kph (75 mph), so you're gonna need a newer car too.

NegativeSoul said:
are they taking a train from Japan directly to France?

Technically, it is possible, but here, to reach the French Brest, the will have to go through Belarusian one first. And the problem is that the Russian loading gauge trains just won't fit into some European lines, so...looks like they gonna change the train there.

(BTW we have a bunch of new cars for international routes almost unused.
Ido-sensei, pls notice and make use of that, girls deserve comfort!)

On the other hand, there still may be possibility that European cars were brought to Vladivostok beforehand, so only bogey change will be needed.

Least I was expecting The Bronze Horseman to see there. Hats off to you, sir.

P.S: My apologize for such a blanket-size long-read, I just wanted to show off share some knowledge about Russian railways.

I thought all passenger (and also mail and refrigerator) cars have a 160 km/h limit... But seems that's indeed not the case: at least Ammendorf cars that use ЦМВ bogies can only run at 120 km/h.

RELEASING THE LIMITER!

I think it's worth mentioning that indeed you can "release" the limiter on an electric locomotive. At least, on most soviet ones, which are controlled by relays, not computers.

To do that, you have to put a few jumper wires on the terminal blocks (which are openly accessible, as applying jumper wires fixes some minor problems, such as relays that ran loose). To "release" the limiter, you should bypass the contacts of traction motor overcurrent relays. Or maybe jam them in the closed position. These relays, when opened, cut off the power to the coil which holds the main breaker closed. The main breaker then disconnects the locomotive from the overhead line.

For ВЛ80, if I understood its circuit diagram correctly, you should connect the wire Э1 (+50V "logical" voltage plus) with the wire H71. That way, the relay 264, which opens as soon as any of four overcurrent protection relays РП1-РП4 is triggered, becomes bypassed, so overloading the traction motors would not lead to power shutdown. This has to be done on each section of the locomotive (here we see three of them).

But doing that brings two major problems:
1. Overloading the traction motors produces more Joule heat than the fans can cope with. So doing that for prolonged periods of time can start a fire. Still, the motors should withstand the overdrive for a few minutes.
2. Increasing the current leads to higher torque that can at some point exceed the grip. When traction is lost for an axle (condition known as wheelslipping), the motor starts spinning uncontrollably at very high speed. This is known as DC motor runaway, and it can kill the motor way faster than overheating. Applying sand increases available traction to some extent, but it is still rather difficult to predict the maximum current that allows to maintain steady traction.

So, while, technically, you CAN "release" the limiter, it is a very risky thing to do.

P.S.: what SentinelNikolaev said about a blanket-size long-read.

Suddenly, they went to Sodor instead

Was debating whether to tag Hololive Alternative or not because none of Gen 5 has been confirmed for it, but Lamy is already making up fantasies like this under the Alternative banner.

Link: "I'm ten years old and what is all this?"

I'm getting CC stress from this, I'll tell you that.

Damn Eyja rly have some deep voice.
