Greetings professors! Would you like some coffee?

Please use this thread for all kinds of short questions and discussions related to Neural Cloud. Ask questions, seek advice, joke or just chill in general.

For longer discussions that are worth archiving (e.g. "Who is the most powerful healer, Florence or Persicaria? Here's my opinion."), you should make a dedicated post with the [Discussion] flair.

Greetings professors, we've finished going through data from the survey and have some results to share.

First things first: prevailing rule changes:

• Unedited In-Game Media is now able to be freely posted for a 60 hour period every weekend from 00:00 UTC on Saturday through 12:00 UTC on Monday.
• Crossover art rules are better defined, and allow for new types of crossover type art and T-Posts, though not the full spectrum as proposed and only Types 1 & 2.

Some more rule changes:

• Groping (with clothes on) is now downgraded to just being NSFW content instead of Excessive NSFW content and isn't grounds for removal.

• Visible undergarments when part of the directly visible default character design (not in skins, no upskirts) do not always require NSFW tags. Sexualized framing or pin-up style posing may still earn an NSFW tag. Many dolls rejoice.

• Chibi art and other lower-detail artstyles are held to a lower standard, and would need to be specifically sexualized beyond just outfits to earn an NSFW tag.

Rules which didn't change:

• Fanart frequency changes, most respondents would prefer none of the proposed changes, such as adjusting daily post limits to reduce NSFW posts, or reduce how much fanart single users can post.

• Commercial promotion rules, most respondents did not want to allow promotion of any third-party shops.

• Moderator newspost discretion period, most respondents did not want to expand the window...by barely 1%. Damn...

• Repost window, most respondents did not want to reduce the period posts are considered reposts of earlier posts to 60 days, preferring the 90 day window

• Discourage Daily Character Posting, most respondents did not want to enact any changes to daily character threads.

• AI restrictions: Most users, by a hair, did not want to reduce AI rule restrictions, by the closest margin I've ever seen in a survey. If you put in a write-in, the answer closest to your viewpoint was folded in to. Next time the free-response will be removed because it's much too close to have that kind of ambiguity possible.

General shared fluff stats and some more!

I would comment that I don't believe you at all saying that 40% of you have read the manga. No fucking way. The anilist page has only ~500 logged users, half of which never started it, and the MAL page is literally unfinished there's no shot it's popular enough for so many of you to have read it. Most of you can't read at all.

Also again, /GFLEX/ guy, you're an imageboard/chansite, you're not a special category. You're not even /gfg/ spits

Will add artsites to contain pixiv/instagram/boorus next year since they seem unaccounted for.

I'm also pleasantly surprised how many users would prefer Mica put out more non-gacha games. I would've thought the massive influx of gacha gamers with GF2 would have been brainrotted to only enjoy games that dangle content behind pull currency.

Neural Cloud, it's been such a BUSY YEAR for us, right? We got uh...

Fluff stats!

Yes, that's correct. Not one respondent started playing this year. I kept in the male dolls question again because it started a lot of discussion last time, and like last year there's a massive difference between the responses here and with GF2.

Your favorite Warrior and Guard: Betty & Croque

Your favorite Sniper and Specialist: Hubble and Clukay in a tie & Darkstar Hubble

I think that makes Hubble break the tie, do you?

Your favorite Medic: Imhotep and your most desired GF2 doll addition is Persicaria Still confusing how that'd work, but two years running the people have spoken.

Finally, your overall favorite doll overall is Persicaria The massive fall from grace for Clukay is very interesting, every other doll was as popular or more popular this time around. Additionally, your most disliked doll was Florence which is understandable to me.

Thanks for reading, I hope NC gets some more love next year. If you have any questions about results or rule changes, please ask! Thanks for participating.

See last year's survey results!
