"Cheer up, Rider. At least you got this far, right?"
"Yeah, it was just lots of bad luck this time around."

"I knew she was a fast runner, but... damn!"
"Rider, wait-!!! What the hell was that for, Bern?"

"I just wanted to motivate her
to try a bit harder next time."

"Hoh? But this tournament is all about the
votes. How is one supposed to try harder
when all you can do is watch and hope?"

"Nonsense. If I was participating,
one thing I would do would be to make
several accounts, all at different points
in time ahead of the tournament and
post with them daily, acting differently
with all of them to eliminate suspicion.
Then they would not only vote for me,
but also for all the characters liked the
least by the others in order to eliminate
all the possible serious competition."

Oh, c'mon. There is no way that
would work. Not only is that going
way too ridiculously far for something
like this, but you would also be found
out. There is no way you could fool
people into seriously thinking-"

"You think so? Then let me
ask you: what if Mirage, Neo and Proto
are in fact the same person? Since the
day the second of the accounts joined,
the intention was to manipulate the
results of this tournament which
was going to start years later."

Now that is the most ridiculous-..."
"Prove me wrong then. You can't, right? So
what if? Maybe half the accounts on the
whole board are in fact second accounts!"

Votes
1. Maria Traydor (Star Ocean: Till the End of Time) - KOS-MOS' choice. She said it's payback for "that one time".
2. Noah (Record of the Agarest War) - Mio's choice. She choose to keep her reasoning to herself, however.
3. Tear Grants (Tales of the Abyss) - Obvious choice. Because, "duh".
4. Gwendolyn (Odin Sphere) - Rydia's choice. She says "Rider told me to go for Gwen in her place, since she's still hiding from Bernkastel."
