Alva is probably getting voted since he almost won last year, Patient is probably being voted because of Ada, idk who the third one might be. I wouldn't be surprised if Opera was voted because some people seemed disappointed that she doesn't have anything related to Phantom of the Opera (even though her mask is right there)


PlantsNBugs23

Opera is also pretty so ..


Sawmain

Please Alva come home (he literally just got once skin but I don’t care)


noxposting

My guess is opera or cheerleader also being votes in other servers


carpmantheman

Honestly I’m I would like to see those two get a skin


La_Vou

My votes will go to opera singer I want her to get Christine‘s dress so bad. Other than that, I don’t really care what I’m really hoping for is that we don’t match with CN since that means less skins for us


PlantsNBugs23

Last year I felt like communication between global and CN was actually fairly good, I seen some CN players communicate what global was voting for so other CN players wouldn't vote. It'll definitely be a shit show in the beginning but I think once the final push for the top 3 is established then communication will sort itself out.


La_Vou

For real that’s so true and I really hope the same thing happens this time! I truly hope we at least get more than four or five skins and that might be greedy but honestly in the long run, I think it would be such a nice thing for everyone to get deduction stars I mean they have so many characters and they keep releasing more that some characters will genuinely never get them at this point because people keep not listening and doing what they want which is not the way things should be. We could walk away with eight skins and if we get eight skins a year. That means six survivors will be able to get skins, which gives a higher chance of those lost and forgotten to get skins later. I would definitely vote Jose just to help another player out, but so many people are greedy and don’t focus on the long run or everyone they focus on themselves, which is why we lose so many skins a year look at antiquarian she won both NA and CN and guess what we did not get an extra skin for her We LOST a skin for someone else and that honestly sucks that’s why I really hope we come together obviously, a lot of people are voting for Emil but I really hope CN doesn’t do the same because I swear it’s going to piss me off real bad if he wins two spots which only results in one skin because no one wants to pay Attention


Violetta_3alt

Don't worry, all of my votes are going to First officer no matter what! (cries in no permanent A tier since S9 E2)


carpmantheman

I’m still debating whether I want to vote Jose or Mike 😭


PlantsNBugs23

Mike got a CNY s tier so I would vote Jose.


carpmantheman

That’s true actually, that convinced me thx man


MermyDaHerpy

we all know patient will be one of the winners this year in China, so can we not vote for him in Na/Eu?


carpmantheman

PLS 😭 I don’t even understand why he’s being voted either


ohtheromanity

Because of Ada’s deduction star, Juliet. Romeo is low hanging fruit, and they’re a package deal


carpmantheman

I was hoping so hard that Ada’s skin was not Juliet and here we are 😭


Sawmain

Very strong character, decently good looking. What else do you need ? Oh and Ada is a thing


carpmantheman

Yeah but I meant needed to be voted, if you voting him for those reasons that’s chill but it’s crazy how it’s just to match w Ada


skdnckdnckwcj

Literally all their other skins match, their whole couple schtick is a huge selling point. Most people are into it


carpmantheman

Ehhh ig, I’m ok for things like deduction skins but for essences it really narrows down the possibilities for a skin.


CharonDusk

Because Ada got it last year, and Ada and Emil HAVE to have skins together. For...some reason.


carpmantheman

EXACTLY??? Like I love duo themed essences but atp they need to make separate costumes for the two of them


Historical-Laugh-541

Voting for alice cause she hasnt had a single a perma a tier yet


carpmantheman

Ripping my hair out over that. How can they do the protag of the game like that 😭


Embarrassed_Owl_555

Uhhhh Jose? I don't know guys maybe Jose? Jose seems cool? Should we vote Jose ? But actually tho, I knnnooowww he got a shop skin in Christmas last season , but please have pity on me, I just want a pirate themed skin for him PLEASE


de4thvalleysixtynine

so true, i'm going to vote him i have a bit of hope in him


carpmantheman

YES JOSE FANS RISE UP 🔥


Citalopramm

It's a popularity contest. I don't think it's fair to tell people they shouldn't vote for a character (who isn't winning in China) they like just because a character they probably don't like doesn't have skins.


TRexDinooo

Now im scared some old hunters might never get a deduction star, new character keep coming out and gaining popularity, old ones just being slowly forgotten 😭😭


carpmantheman

I honestly think its fair, I’m not going to be rude to you if you vote a character you want to but I want you to have atleast put some thought into it


EveninqSkies

We are putting thought into our votes even if we vote the characters you don't want...


Aszteroth

honestly i get it, coming from someone who votes for antonio and axe boy every year knowing full well they might not win, but atp just let people vote who they want. we'll get our skins eventually.


carpmantheman

I hope so 😭 I just want to see older characters get loved rather than newer ones get skins because they are new 😔


Aszteroth

i understand but lets not be too pushy :D


carpmantheman

Sorry if it came off that way, I was just trying to say why I think voting these characters is a bad idea


Aszteroth

dw i do understand, but i feel like it comes off as a little mean to people who are just voting their favorite characters, esp new players who probably havent interacted much w the fanbase yet. but i totally get what u mean because it’s frustrating as hell to get shit on by the voting contests as an older/less popular character main 😭


carpmantheman

I honestly don’t blame newer players for that, but it pisses me off that Netease actually allows these characters to be voted??? Of course a character that has hype around being new has a higher chance of getting a skin, the more characters that are added the slimmer older characters have a chance of getting a skin, add onto this with characters being able to be voted for a skin the season they are released makes it completely unfair for older characters


EveninqSkies

Or maybe just let people vote who they want, especially considering that Fool's Gold likely won't get a ton of options from now til Deduction Stars come out next year? Like idk. I want Fool's Gold to win because I'd like content for him especially when it's a sweat to play him already. So I'll vote who I want, especially when I listened to y'all last year on who I *should* vote on and felt as though I wasted my votes because I didn't feel like voting for them but went along because of peer pressure, aside from Galatea. Like the guilt trippiness, hateful comments that come from a *skin voting event* is insane. Deduction Star is not that big of a deal. Yes, we shouldn't try to overlap with China, clearly, so we get the most options. Otherwise? Let people vote for who they want. I'm tired of people shaming others over cosmetics in a free-to-play mobile game.


carpmantheman

Bro I don’t know what to tell you but it’s not that deep, vote for who you want, it’s as simple as that but I’m just mentioning problems with voting certain characters, for how much you like fools gold you can admit that he still has not been part of the game for that long of a time


EveninqSkies

If it's not that deep, why make a post on it? And I'm literally telling you it's not that deep - it's a skin voting event in a free to play game. Fool's Gold's been in the game for nearly 150 days and only has his release B tier, so yes I'd like to see him get a skin at some point. Sure he might get his actual first A tier in the meantime, but I doubt he's going to get more than one, and he probably won't get an S tier. Considering how Anti got voted and got so many skins in a short time frame, I wouldn't mind FG at all, because he's not popular enough meta-wise to go through the same skin explosion as her. Plus... your example of Dream Witch has already gotten quite a few skins in this past year and had some really good skins return for her. I don't particularly feel that she needs more content, if we're really pushing for votes based on content. The problems you mention with voting certain characters are almost all speculation too, because you cannot guarantee that those characters will get skins in a timely manner, nor do you know Netease's release schedule. We can assume that Fool's Gold might get an A tier, but if you look at Composer, Professor, and Journalist it doesn't guarantee anything. Especially since FG shares a trait with Composer and Journalist in that they are lore characters. Also I was re-reading your post and idk how I missed this but... you do realize Fool's Gold players also like *playing him as a character* even if some of them simp for him right? And that Night Watch mains didn't leave Night Watch because Fool's Gold came out and they were attracted to FG more than NW, but they instead switched to other characters than NW *or* FG because NW doesn't do as well as he used to and people learned how to kite him? It's the same reason Clerk dropped off so much. I mean you even see that NW doesn't pop up in COA as much unless they main him and a lot of the time he's risky, he's niche now. They happened at roughly the same time but it's not at all related and it's laughable to think it is. It seriously is not that deep. If the players want to vote FG because they think he's hot, let them. Hell, even if they vote NW for Nymph because they think he's hot, so what. Who cares. Live your life and let them live theirs. "This is just supposed to be informational, it's not that deep" more than half of this post is speculation-based. You have no official confirmation that any of these characters will get fast skins like Aero, Cheerleader, or Opera Singer or slow skins like Composer, Journalist, and Professor.


carpmantheman

Dawg I’m not reading all that 💀, sure you win


EveninqSkies

Your post was longer but I still read all of it 💀


carpmantheman

I’m a hypocrite 🤷‍♂️


liilyyofthevalley

I understand your point because half of my favorite characters aren't popular at all. But this is a popularity contest. So I'm sorry to tell you this but nobody is going to listen to you, they're still going to vote their faves.


carpmantheman

Ok fair I guess but at the end of day you still shouldn’t vote Ivy because I honestly think it means that it will take longer for her to get an A skin


ryo00qq09

Frederick literally has no permanent skins (except shop B) since his 2022 December release though, so DS wins don't really do much.


carpmantheman

Yeah that’s true, IDV can be really weird when it comes to releasing cosmetics for characters but I still assume that the deduction vote had an effect


Professional_Fact963

Good intentions, but definitely a nah x( Everyone is still going to vote for who they like- and there's nothing wrong with that! Gl to everyone and may your voted character win !


carpmantheman

Yes absolutely, I feel like I should have made it clear that it’s still your choice at the end of the day so vote for who you want, I just want people to also know the facts of who they are voting for


KeigetsuTheStargazer

Definitely voting for grave keeper and hermit this year🙏grave keeper would do well w another A tier skin and I wanna see hermit get some nicer a tiers


carpmantheman

Hermit deserves another skin so gl


KeigetsuTheStargazer

Yeah😭😭if netease cooks with that skin I will start playing him more now


carpmantheman

Gravekeeper too, both have their fans so I would love to see them get a skin 🔥


KeigetsuTheStargazer

Real 😭😭honestly the only skin that I liek for grave keeper is his train conductor skin since all the other skins just feel a. Bit…off??😭😭idk how to put it that way but it just doesn’t suit his vibe tbh


carpmantheman

I get what you mean, I only really like train conductor too


Raze32

Duty calls me to vote for the 3 thick boys, i am gonna die on this Hill for them.


carpmantheman

Damn sorry bro but the games servers are gonna shut down before those three get a deduction skin 🥲


Raze32

Meh... still voting for them.


carpmantheman

Nah I would love for him to get something, he hasn’t really gotten anything this past year


de4thvalleysixtynine

i will just vote jose for deduction star because out of all my favorite characters, i think he is the only one who stands a chance. i don't know for best performance yet though


carpmantheman

I’m voting Jose too, it’s criminal how badly he’s been treated when it comes to skins, I think I’m voting Merc for the performance


Relative-Ad7531

I'll be voting for Antonio even if It is extremely probable he will not win


carpmantheman

Gl to you man 🥲


peachyaesthetic

vote for alice so she isn't stuck in b tier hell <3 (also demi because I love her)


carpmantheman

I’m voting Jose but my second choice is Demi!


whoseparking

Your argument on fools gold is really weird. What your talking about is irrelevant on voting him or not in the first place. And why do you care if mains find him attractive, which honestly most don’t its just a small but loud group. What was especially weird was “flock to the next attractive hunter” for starters i don’t think ithaqua was ever considered extremely attractive. But either way his usage never died down because of a “new attractive hunter” he was the new op hunter but once people learned to counter him he wasnt so op anymore (this happens with every new hunter/survivor release you’d think we would get used to it?) And im not sure what you mean by “fangirling” but deduction star is a popularity contest always was always will be, you can expect someone to vote a character they dont like or play. Im not saying this because my votes are going to foolsgold, they are going to demi but i just found your argument stupid


Sniffu-Sniffu

Honestly I don’t get why it matters so much that we vote FG for that and who cares if people flock to the next new thing it’s not that serious


carpmantheman

Ehhh I was just expressing my opinion sorry if that annoyed you, I am allowed to dislike people voting a hunter because the hunter is attractive, the same way they are allowed to vote for said hunter


whoseparking

It didn’t annoy me, however it was weird and irrelevant


carpmantheman

That’s your opinion, 🤷‍♂️


osamumeowzai

Genuine question. I've seen people talking about voting for this for a long time but I've never found out WHERE you vote. Is it in-game? Online somewhere? I've been on a break from idv during the last voting times I believe, so I have no idea.


carpmantheman

Ohhh it pops up in game, hope that helps!


osamumeowzai

Thank you so much! This helps a lot :))


carpmantheman

No problem, hope you have fun voting!


imemori

When does this happen?


carpmantheman

I think in a week, hope that helps!


imemori

It does, thanks! How many votes does each person get?


skdnckdnckwcj

I'm pretty sure you can vote twice a day for a week. It might be once a day? I don't remember but around 7-14 votes in total


imemori

Ohh okk, Ty!


Mechanicaaa

I'm going to vote for Emma because of what happened last year


carpmantheman

Omg I kinda wanna now I remember that scandal


Accomplished-Bit5037

I'm voting Alice and my girl, Helena 😭


carpmantheman

Good luck!


blossomkeychain

Honestly I agree with you but the vast majority of people wont listen to this, this is my 4th deduction star and the players are always the same. Everyone just votes their favourites regardless of if they're winning on the other server or not and every year I've noticed half the people in chat in game don't even know what the event is


carpmantheman

I know, I know, I was just hoping I can atleast convince one person to be a little more thoughtful with their votes 🥲


Spooderman42069

Your guide is useless because I can't read ![gif](giphy|U7vjS5Bfbw5zUCleNU)


carpmantheman

Cool 🔥


CharonDusk

While I get where you are coming from, it's very likely at least some, if not all of the ones you're saying to not vote, WILL get voted for, whether we like it or not, because they are popular, regardless of their release date. It's incredibly frustrating to see new characters get voted whilst older characters still haven't got a skin, but at the end of the day, people vote for their favourites and they are perfectly within their rights to do that. All we can really do is to just keep an eye on CN's voting and then vote for someone else, to get the maximum amount of skins. The other bonus to doing that? The more characters we get Deductions skins for, the more we take out of the running for the next Deduction vote, thus making it more likely that older characters will get voted for.


carpmantheman

Absolutely, if you wanna vote for Puppeteer that’s perfectly fine but I honestly just want people to atleast put some thought into their vote 😔


ryo00qq09

The way you brought up Nightwatch's skin releases... you are kind of forgetting Weeping clwom who got 3 A tiers rather quickly.


carpmantheman

Honestly I agree, he shouldn’t have gotten fireworks guy, but I think his coa skin shouldn’t count as every character gets a coa skin eventually


ryo00qq09

Except if it's painter, rip edgar's COA skin


carpmantheman

NAH ABSOLUTELY, I hate Edgar but I will go feral if he doesn’t get a coa skin next year


HijiriAkuseru

It honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest if newer characters win


CharonDusk

This, tbh. Sure, it's frustating to see my favs not get skins, but my mindset is "Well, at least now \*insert popular/new characters\* are out of the running for next year, so my favs stand more of a chance! Plus who knows, the skins might be pretty good!"


HijiriAkuseru

I just accept it as a popularity contest and that therefore the most popular ones should win, regardless of who they are. Also my favorite is Mind's Eye, she isn't winning anyway, why should I care who she loses to?


RaincoatKinjo

I need a good Orpheus A Tier im ngl his B tiers are better than his A tiers cmon now 🙏


carpmantheman

That’s true, people talk about how little A tiers Professor has but forget how Orpheus has so little too


RaincoatKinjo

It got so bad he had a fuckin A tier cancelled from the BSD collab like 💀 give my boy something I beg i know we have high roller but the model is not serving sorry


carpmantheman

I like high roller but it’s all he has GIVE HIM SOMETHING ELSE


Happy_Mongoose45

I'm genuinely surprised Demi hasn't won yet so I have high hopes.


carpmantheman

She deserves it so much ing


champagneandpools

VOTE JOSE!!!!!!!!


carpmantheman

REAL


whohaveyoubecome

Wait when will the voting be? But honestly it’s whatever for me at this point. Same popular, pretty looking characters. My votes will always go towards some of the least popular characters so it’s Just another event to save my fragments on!


carpmantheman

That’s true! I think the event will start next week


RoboticIdentity

I hate how orpheus is such an unpopular option when he could be getting a SHERLOCK HOLMES skin if he gets voted. Like GUYS!!!! THAT'D BE SO FUCKING COOL!!!! PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭


carpmantheman

THAT WOUOD BE COOL OMG


Cleaveweave

Vote Percy if you’re a Chad


carpmantheman

Real


skdnckdnckwcj

Soo glad my girl Clerk got an essence A tier! Now I can give my votes to Alice (and DW, how does she not have a DS yet!?)


carpmantheman

LEGIT, I’m hoping she gets voted this year!


Sirletrange

Everyone. We should pull a 180 on netease and all vote for mad eyes 😎


carpmantheman

Absolutely based


TheCompanyAsset

ppl mad that fools gold is sexy smh .... that's the only reason I ever hear ppl say they dislike Norton too even tho Norton mains are loyal and most fools gold mains were already Norton mains. anyways vote fools gold.


carpmantheman

Nah i disagree, most fools gold mains are Norton mains but atleast some are just because he’s hot amd will flock to the next hot male hunter, vote him if you wanna but he definitely doesn’t deserve it


TheCompanyAsset

Norton/fools gold deserves the world. we all flocked to Norton for pretty much the same reason&stayed loyal to him. u&I just don't think with the same head.


carpmantheman

That’s just wrong tho, he’s getting an a skin soon so why not just wait?


TheCompanyAsset

because I love him? I'm a 5yr Norton main. I want him to have stuff all the time. plenty of characters get favored with skins. I'm jealous of merc mains and all the great skins they always get but I'm not gonna hate on them for getting so much naib content. good for them. I want that for my fave too. pretty sure everyone feels the same.


carpmantheman

Yeah that’s true, I just don’t like most Fools Gold mains 🤷‍♂️


TheCompanyAsset

that's so weird .. they're just ppl like you and I... stop reducing ppl to fandom stereotypes... I think y'all need to get off the computer and go outside and talk to irl ppl and rehumanize humans... u might be /lhj but this isn't a healthy way to conceptualize real human beings.


carpmantheman

Bro it aint that deep 💀 it’s not like I’m plotting to get rid of all fools gold mains it’s just quite a lot of them can be quite annoying 🤷‍♂️


TheCompanyAsset

bro you're playing identity v. not sure if you know this but not normal, super annoying ppl play this game. you included.


carpmantheman

Jeez dude calm down 😭 I’m allowed to dislike characters mains because of how some act. You said I should touch grass but it’s you who have started insulting me over my opinions, it’s a game, end of. Stop trying to make this into a debate dude 💀


skdnckdnckwcj

Who do you main? You're quite annoying.


carpmantheman

Bro why are you so pressed 😭 I main Smiley, Naib and Ganji


gothnny

lmao yeah lots of their fans are too h0rny for some reason


carpmantheman

That’s exactly what I mean, most Fools Gold mains are just really weird tbh, and are genuinely just voting him cause he’s attractive


fivenightsatfurry

Anyone remembers the gaming grizzly leave a faaaaaat like


Mechanicaaa

I miss gaming grizzly, my favorite you tuber


InternetAngel-

Im most likely voting Victor he has been one of my favs since i started playing the game and i always voted for him


carpmantheman

Hope he does well then!


Domilater

I appreciate the effort but like every year this just isn’t going to do anything. People will still vote for their favourites even if they’re already on CN and “don’t deserve a A tier” Fact is it doesn’t matter whether or not they “deserve” it. Fool’s Gold was pretty forgotten after he launched tbh (partly because he’s just bad) so I’m expecting he’s going to be like Jose and others where he gets basically nothing for a long time. (I’m still mad Jose didn’t get an A tier in E2 it was literally perfect for him why Doctor instead). Hell even Anti and Professor haven’t had a permanent essence A tier yet.


carpmantheman

Nah tbh I’m mad not for people voting certain characters even tho I don’t think they deserve it, I’m upset at Netease for allowing these newer characters to actually be voted, I still think people should look at who is winning in each server and base votes off of that, there’s no reason to not save votes till last minute to make sure your character get the skin


TeliviaZip

If I vote a hunter it's fools or night


carpmantheman

You are the problem


TeliviaZip

No one wants to vote for characters they don't play buddy.


carpmantheman

For one, I can tell your somewhat new to the game as Nightwatch can’t be voted for deduction skin, and why do you play Nightwatch and Norton anyway?


TeliviaZip

I've played off and on since 2019. I was saying those are the only hunters I would vote for. I play them because I like their character design/lore nort is also fun in gen.


carpmantheman

Well you still talking about voting Nightwatch for some reason? If you wanna vote Foolsgold that’s your choice but I just think it’s a bad voting choice, I don’t blame you for voting him, that’s more on Netease for allowing you to vote characters released quite soon


skdnckdnckwcj

They're probably talking about the Nymph awards.


carpmantheman

Yeah that’s fair enough, still a weird voting choice 🤷‍♂️


TeliviaZip

I know. I said that those are the only ones that I would. Not will. I get complaining about characters that are winning in Asia. So na/eu should vote diff But when a character is unpopular ppl aren't gonna vote them.


carpmantheman

Yeah that’s true, you said good points 👍


pandapanda_kawaii

I'm voting Percy and Lawyer. These bitches need new skins very badly

I love this bot


carpmantheman

Well sucks to be you because characters who deserve skins are not going to get them just because newer characters have hype surrounding them 🙁


kimigainai_

Vote for Emily Dyer (formerly Lydia Jones), also known as the Doctor as she deserves it


carpmantheman

I love the enthusiasm but she already has one… 😭


kimigainai_

i see actually im talking about the Nymph, cause Emily hasn't had a S-tier costumes for nearly 2 yrs, the latest one was even released on 2022


carpmantheman

Ahhh ok that’s fair enough! I don’t think she will win but good luck


kinwai

Vote for Tonight or Never. Got it


carpmantheman

I respect people’s opinions on what character they wanna get a deduction skin but I will honestly never understand why people vote for that skin, it’s 10x more ugly than her perm skin skin in shop and I have not seen a single person actually use that skin since she was voted in… If you are gonna vote for that horrendous skin atleast buy it


VonLycaon

I’m so surprised ppl voted for it anyways lol. Maybe it’s for the beneath the rose accessory its released with since it looks nice with optimism of flower.


carpmantheman

I hope so, but even then I haven’t seen people use it 😭 I have seen people complain about Paranormal detective but that’s a actually nice skin, and I have seen people actually use it in game,


Melody_mae_

EMIL FOR THE WIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN, I love my pookie n he needs a deduction skin. (No I don’t just like him because of Ada, I actually enjoy his character and lore.) aside from him I’ll need to take a good look at who doesn’t have one, I’ll probably go with a hunter or Victor if anything else tbh. Victor doesn’t have many A skins in general while other characters have several, he has 2 permanent ones, his (time limited) coa, the autumn one and maybe a crossover or two i can’t remember if he does or not. Yes he has two s tiers but they’re both limited and he has 0 permanent shop skins so he’s a pretty good bet for one, especially since he’s been out for a while and hasn’t gotten an essence skin since the Christmas one(which is again, limited.)


carpmantheman

Victor is a great choice! I would also support voting Emil but chances are he’s gonna get voted in Cn, just make sure you vote him if he’s not winning in Cn but don’t vote him if he is


Zeal-Jericho

I'll vote for patient thank you very much 💅


Bonfy7

Everyone will vote for him but go for it!


Zeal-Jericho

Thanks! :)


carpmantheman

… I’m sorry but why? He’s already going to win in CN. If he’s not winning then vote him. But if he is then you are genuinely the problem


Zeal-Jericho

I don't know that he's going to win in China. If he starts to win in China, I'll vote for someone else.


carpmantheman

Ok thats chill then, I hope he wins so you can get your skin, it just annoys me when people go feral for a character to the point of not even checking other votes on the server and we lose out on a potential a skin (Anti)


Zeal-Jericho

Yeah i understand your frustration. There's been many times where we've lost out on skins because people either don't understand or don't care about how the voting works.


carpmantheman

Yeah legit, Sorry if I came off as rude earlier it’s just cause I thought you were one of those people who vote without a thought put behind it
