It is the way of things on the web.
Ship showdown predictions?
- Thread starter Lemming
- Start date
I'm hoping that the C2 will swallow the hopes & dreams of the ARGO Cargo supporters. The vehicle itself is like a diamond according to the founder of the DeBeers company, intrinsically worthless.
The Saber is sent spinning into the center of the sun as the Mercury Star Runner hands it a headdy loss.
Today, the Semi Final! The C2 can swallow and Argo whole - but can it beat it in a popular vote?

Wow THe ARGO Cargo has taken an early lead. Can it maintain it to the end?

That's easy to figure out. It's not Yellow and Black. It's orange and

The Argos lead was slim to begin but is now picking up steam while the C2 looks to be running out of puff!
If you ever filled the fuel tank on a C2 or M2 ... that's why it has no puff left. No money left either. I am only happy that it made it to this stage. I'm only rooting for the MSR (and the 600i, for @Talonsbane.)
at this point i want the 600i to win cause well yeah the ship sucks sadly and needs a revamp
My gut tells me that it might be based on some of the colors of Crusader since that is where the IAE is based this year.
So sakura tree pink + brownish pink (clouds)?
Or just plain white+blue?
edit: btw argo is still in hte lead by 650ish votes
I was going to ask about pink and white tones... but you beat me to it. Maybe with blue whales to form the polkadots?
For my C2. (My MSR already has black and yellow)

I'd guess the Crusader grayish baby blue, off white & pepto bismal pink if the ARGO wins the entire thing since I believe that would potentially hamper sales.
And so it came to pass, the Hercules with all its ability and advantage of being a newly flyable ship was put down by the Argo, the tiny utility ship moving on to the Grand Final!
...Today... we learn which ship joins it at the top table to duke it out for Ultimate Glory... Will it be the 600i? Or the C2's stable mate, the Mercury Star Runner?

I suspect its going the be the IAE themed colors of light blue and white
Cromwell
Admiral
I believe the color scheme is Blue and White.
Based on what I am seeing, the selection is a fraud no matter what. The Argo voting clearly being manipulated by outside sources such as accounts created specifically for voting for that ship…
at this point, theArgo is going to win on sheer fraud…

I don't think the Argo is winning just for the memes/lulz.
Where were the fake accounts to vote against the Argo?? There is nothing stopping the supposedly better/more popular ship from winning against the Argo, except that seemingly no one cares to spend their entire afternoon creating accounts just to do that. It's just not worth it. The vast majority of players would be working against themselves anyways.
The whole premise of Best ship Evaaaaa' is false, cos objectively it does not (currently) exist. You cannot just look at a spreadsheet and say "this is the best ship thus it must win". A Warden is not a better ship than an Argo just like a 600i is not a better ship than Scythe. All have their uses where they shine, and that includes PRICE. This is supposed to be a popularity contest, but somehow so far every winning ship was a 300+ dollar ship, something that the vast majority of the player base does NOT own. So they got literally nothing out of this contest so far.
With the Argo, it's affordable, you can way more easily grind it out in game, or pay the 44 (for me with VAT) USD for it and own it. It's not a 600usd Carrack. It's something "for the people", who might actually buy one, like I did.
And this takes me to my second point: marketing. How many Argos for the 40ish dollars will sell versus how many 600i-s or MSR-s would have sold for the hundreds of dollars? Especially with both of em already had their runs in the sales, and being fuckin expensive, I'd guess most people who wanted to buy them already own them. So CiG did the thing that is most beneficial to them, and made the cheap option win it's rounds (so far) to pump up hype and thus sales.
So to conclude yes, you might be correct, cos Ship Showdown might have been 100% fake every time anyways.
