Fifrein Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Eh, I was actually trying to figure out who she was a little while back and had absolutely no idea. Came up with nothing, even under the hint of sparring with Leningrad. So on that note, yeah. I'll help you vote for A4, Yuri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrYuriMom Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yeah, the Leningrad sparring is difficult to reconcile. Germany lost all its African holdings in WW1, so the Belle isn't German. Italy has Ethiopia and Libya, so it's very possible she's an Italian Belle from the former. France and Britain also had African holdings. We've been told by Legate that there's a story behind that scuffle between her and Leningrad. Perhaps if we get that interview we'll find out about that, too. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifrein Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm assuming the story, if there is any, is some kind of historical feud between her and/or her crew, and leningrad and/or her crew. With that in mind, I looked up leningrad to see if any other ship was excessively mentioned, especially as a rival of some sort, but I found nothing of note.

PizzaRocket Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 A good point well made DYM. I'd like to capitalize on Hiryuu's momentum from this round if I can, but your vote also sounds promising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 DYM; That story isn't historical, sadly- so no clues there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifrein Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Dang, well that kill any attempts I've made to figure out who she is. Well, guess we have to wait til next friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifrein Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 And that, my friend, was a pretty big tip. Chicago-style, eh? Now what can we do with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwd2456 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 After getting caught up with this thread I think I'm going to have to go with the good ol' Bakumatsu period sentiments of sonno joi (I'm super twisting it though.) So until another Japanese Belles is interviewed I say revere the emperor, expel the barbarians. Or something like that. Don't take this too seriously.

Fifrein Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Welp, I misunderstood that. Nevermind on that lead, then. And about that campaign...uh...no comment? I swear to rigging the votes I'm not god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mignonette Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 It would be nice to have the tally of the votes in the first post. It would be much easier to keep track of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Mignonette; Mmmm....think we'll let that be. Better if everyone votes to their conscience, and are surprised by the results. Although it can be pretty easy to tell, I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
