Punishment Game

As is tradition, you can show extra dedication to your waifu by taking part in the punishment game. Here's a reminder of how it works:

• Nominate a girl to back, either through a PM or mention in this thread.
• If your waifu doesn't win, you'll change your forum avatar to the overall winner at the end of the contest for a week
• Signups for the punishment game are open until the winner is determined, yes even during the final voting round

This is the year that... a foreign ship still doesn't win. The real question is if any new girl gets to quarters. I can see maybe tashkent or bay but outside that I doubt any will make it far.

[Leyana]

@KotoNano Bay has a good chance tbh.

Also due to issues with Anime Bracket, nominations are extended till Tues 10/07/18.

[HaganeNoKaze]

Hey Leyana, thank for the initiative !

As usual, take me for Punishment game with Shouhou !

[Leyana]

AnimeBracket is still having some issues. But it looks like copying past entries works. Do you guys want to wait and see so we can use newly submitted art or copy everything so we can get started?
