Hello. I set everything up and it is running atm. The only thing I am having problems with is the MBC accounts, they won't load at all.

@Jinana,

great

The are still some fans that can't create MBC+ accounts for various reason. One reason could be that your internet connection is really slow and is causing the web pages to time out before they are loaded. See http://www.ozspeedtest.com/ to test your internet download speed and let me know how fast it is. Another possible problem could be that the MBC website thinks that your IP address is a Korean one. To see if this is the problem, open the log.txt file and do a search for "South Korea" and let me know if you find any error messages about that. The log.txt file can be found in the logs folder. Actually search for "South Korea" in the other log files in the logs folder too. A few fans have this problem. An obvious way to fix this problem would be to get a new IP address. You can try restarting you modem but this doesn't work for everyone. For some fans the problem just eventually disappears when the MBC website comes to its senses. I'm currently doing investigations into how I can get the creating MBC+ account feature working for more fans.

Guys, today is the last day of voting on Show Champion for this week and there is 5 and a half hours until it ends. If you could leave your Playgirlz Voter running until 12:00 am KST tonight that will be awesome....because today the Playgirlz Voter system only did a total of about 511 votes out of 4000+...and that is why Lizzy is now coming 4th instead of 3rd. The reason for the very small amount of votes is because there were problems with the Playgirlz Voter Manager caused by my internet connections problems.

Sorry this is probably partly my fault. When I ran the voter once the new Korean day started it would not vote so I asumed the period was over. Now it refuses to vote. It loads a different page with a bunch of Korean text and what appears to be an agreement page... Will try and take a screenshot and such of it.

by SwePlaygirl Sun Feb 01, 2015 9:27 pm

@PlayboyzAdam I could not get a screencap of the page because I did not have the time to downolad a screencap program on my laptop before the voter gave up on trying to vote for it. I did get this long logtext and I hope it helps. It is really long but I trust you to figure out the things that don't add up. As far as I can tell the problem is not really assesed in the log but explained at "The page may have loaded but is hanging. Will now close the browser" or something like that.

Spoiler:

by SwePlaygirl Sun Feb 01, 2015 9:44 pm

@PlayboyzAdam FALSE ALARM! Ignore the log file. Suddenly things started to work again (well except the twitter but you already knew about that). So I will vote until the day ends and then keep going. Will get back to you with a reply on the Lizzy stats but right now I have to study because I could not do so yesterday. No I was not prioritizing AS over my studies yesterday before you aske. Something unexpected happened and now I have two extra unknown animals to tae care of. Yes for real, it is a strange world but I'll get back to you on Lizzy later.

by SwePlaygirl Sun Feb 01, 2015 10:03 pm

@PlayboyzAdam Problems again! I managed to get 19 votes in before it started to mess up again. I managed to take some sloppy screenshots of the whole page for you. Now it is working again and it is a mess, I will have to keep a close eye on my voter. Sometimes after the sign in page you get to the text page and sometimes you can vote normally. You need to not only stop the voter but exit it completly once it starts to give you the error page so it needs to be monitored every 10 seconds to make sure it can actually vote. All the pictures are in the original format once clicked on so you will be able to read it. Not that you can understand, but you can still see it clearly.
Here are my screenshots, the first one containg the url.
EDIT: Seems restarting the voter only worked once, will try to get it going after I am done reading about vikings...

@SwePlaygirl, I'm working on the problem now.

EDIT: the log you provided actually did help a lot and you are right it was an agreement page. It turns out that account ykus8ofjirhb was somehow created without performing the agreement step so when a Playgirlz Voter uses that account to log in. The MBC+ site opens up the agreement page instead of the voting poll and this confuses the Playgirlz Voter.

@SwePlaygirl, Cool I love animals. LOL, what do you mean by "unknown", unknown as unknown to science of are you just not sure what they are? I'm curious about what kind of pets you keep. I remember previously you said you have a pet that pasted away. I keep forgetting to tell you I was sorry to hear it, at that time I also had a pet that past away too.

by **PlayboyzAdam** Sun Feb 01, 2015 11:31 pm

@SwePlaygirl, There were also mistakes I made in the settings which caused you to have to restart the Playgirlz Voter to get it voting again. The Voting tasks were set to sleep for an hour if it fails to vote 3 times in a row and the voting tasks were also set to vote 3 times in a row before giving up which means after failing to vote 3 times in a row the voting tasks will sleep. This was not what I was suppose to do. I was suppose to set it so that after failing 3 times in a row it will find another account to use for voting and it will only sleep after failing to vote 3 times in a row for 3 consecutive accounts. Right now there isn't much time left so I've set it so that after failing to vote once with one account, the Playgirlz Voter will use another account to voting with and if it fails to vote with 3 accounts then it will sleep for an hour...LOL, are you confused...because I am not sure if all that made senses.

It actually made made sense to someone like me and I just returned home after escaping guest kittens, viking litterature to showel away some snow from the balcony. (Yes I am perfectly normal!) But I understood everything so you are pretty good at explaining things. When I walked out of the house I accidentally left the voter running and right now it is voting perfectly! This was a bit of a shock because like I said I keep closing the voter to get it to work, I guess I have to thank my viking book for making me forget to turn it of.

Or wait... you said it would vote once with each acocunt? Mine in that case does not because it votes with all of them. We still have 1h and 30 min left so I hope we will be at 3rd place by then.

@SwePlaygirl, sorry I misspoke. When I previously said vote once. I mean use once(i.e. voting 3 times if possible). So it the Playgirlz Voter fails to use an account once it will give up and look for another account to use. If it fails to use 3 accounts consecutively then then it will sleep for an hour. Also I keep forgetting to mention to you that I've been trying to download your log file from my email to read but the it keeps on failing so I haven't had the chance to read your log yet.

SwePlaygirl wrote:We still have 1h and 30 min left so I hope we will be at 3rd place by then.

@SwePlaygirl, we've increase by 0.1% since I last saw the poll but so did Jong Huyn. Last week Jong Huyn was in seconds place but this week(until today) Jong Huyn stayed in 4th place and this week Yong Hwa greatly improved. A possible explanation is that since Jong Huyn has won awards Jong Huyn fans are now helping Yong Hwa out.

That's okay would you like a smaller version or something. Maybe if I post it as a private message/email with the information pasted. It will be really long but maybe then you can just copy and paste it on a word document or somehting similar so you can read it.

Did Lizzy not use to be 3rd, not always but sometimes? In that case if the Jong Huyn fans are helping Yong Hwa then she should have been able to pass them. Or you know what, I think I am just messing up information at this point, so many numbers to keep track of and for someone like me that is not a good thing. Who do we have that helps us by the way? Aside from other Pledis fandoms.

PlayboyzAdam wrote: @SwePlaygirl, thanks for the info. Right now I've living under a rock so anyone update you do is really appreciated <3...but those number look really bad. I was really hoping for a win for this comeback to boost morale so there will be more support and more financial resources for Pledis to promote After School with.

Just let me know anytime you need updates and I will do my best to find them. I had hoped for a win too. Just for the record much of what I am about to say you have already heard before and other people too. Not always in this thread but at the ASDaze comments and such. In my head at the end of 2014 my thought were that Pledis were going to drop Lizzy's solo during the first week of January. Seeing as it would be little competition I thought she would have won even if it would have been "robbing an empty house" as some like to call it. Sadly this did not happen and once Lizzy came back many things went wrong. Old artists were still going strong and the #Pledisunite2k15 worked the first 20+ hours at least when it comes to getting her sns points in twitter. Everywhere I looked tweets were flyiing and so many were retweeted 10 times to get those SNS points. Then things went downhill and fast.

PlayboyzAdam wrote: I'm going to put winning awards aside for now because...that's not likely to happen at this point(regardless, fans should still continue to try to help Lizzy to win because that is what it means to be supportive) and concentrate how well is Pledis doing financially(because that determines what happens to After School).

I think it is still wise to try and help Lizzy in the voting for as long as she is in the competition, if anything it will shoow other fandoms that we don't give up even now that she won't win. Not really sure how we are going to do thelast part but I guess we will all just keep searching for her in sites, vote for her, watch the MV and so on to make her stay in the charts and not fall off. Even if she will be very low on the charts I think it is important that we do our best to keep her there.

PlayboyzAdam wrote: Someone please check my Math because there could be something horribly wrong with it.

Trust me I am not the right person to check it but I did convert the money into my currency. If you are right then we are in a huge amount of troubble. Saleswise she has not been doing good, the video on YouTube is basically at a standstill (But in its defece we are doing a lot better than we did for Raina, esppecially since it can't be found unless you search in hangul.)

Anyways this would mean Pledis is starting out 2015 by losing even more money and I am getting worried to how they will have the resources to debuting Seventeen and make comebacks for their standard artists. It is like you said and I don't even want to know the costs for making her comeback. The editing in the MV, buying rights to using the movie, her stage outfits and overall apperances with backup actors. This is not good at all.

I think one of the problems is her not having a physical release. If she did maybe the older generations would have bought it because they are the ones who like trot. That is just a theory but it is what I think. To be honest I am really worried right now, even more so because it feels like Pledis is so quiet.

@SwePlaygirl, Lizzy finished 3rd last week and was 3rd through out this entire week until today.

SwePlaygirl wrote:In that case if the Jong Huyn fans are helping Yong Hwa then she should have been able to pass them.

@SwePlaygirl, yep for this entire week(until today) Lizzy was ahead of Jong Huyn. Last week it was the other way round. Jong Huyn was ahead of Lizzy at 2nd place and Lizzy was 3rd throughout last week.

SwePlaygirl wrote:Who do we have that helps us by the way? Aside from other Pledis fandoms.

@SwePlaygirl, I'm not sure. We can barely get our own fandom to help us. We need to start winning something(anything) to boost morale and give fans more hope so they have strength to get off their lazy back sides and help.

Glad to see my memory is not totally wrong. Sadly Jong Huyn gained 0.1% and even if Lizzy has now done so too with 10 minutes left she will end in 4th place today.

I would have hoped Lizzy's comeback would change this. I guess I was being paranoid, I am normally not really optimistic but considering what the voter did for Raina I got my hopes up too high. Now I am not sure what I want Pledis to do next, AS is out of the question for the moment and I think somewhere in the back of my mind NU'EST are also doing something in Japan? Maybe not but in that case they should debut Seventeen soon and I just think we won't be able to help them either...

@SwePlaygirl, thats right. No matter how tough things are we never give up. Btw, I'm not sure if you are paying attention to the poll but as Lizzy goes up in the votes so does Jong Huyn. Right now we are having a real time battle with Jong Huyn fans. It doesn't look like we'll beat Jong Huyn but we'll stand fighting till the end(in 2 minutes).

Not really sure what went down but suddenly my voter generated that error page again... I think it just was because the time was up
Edit: it was just because of the transition and it is fine now.

Great news! MCountdown now appear to have the results for all of week 2? Wait I'll take it back maybe they don't. But I can show you she is 2nd. With a bit of luck maybe she can place in the top 10 again this week.

By the way. I have been thnking of making some big investments in my album collection, including getting Pledis artists albums too and not just AS ones. But if I were to buy Kahi's albums now would that still help Pledis? And what about the first Hello Venus albums before the split?

Yes it will, despite no longer being part of Pledis any song/album done under Pledis the profits are still split up according to their then contracts.

If you have to choose which album to get then Kahi’s second album really is very good!

When I woke up and voted she was still second but the percentage points for Lizzy were less, but since digital sales account for 50% and albums 10% then considering Lizzy’s low sales and no album she’s doing remarkably well against artists that out sold her by a good margin; while we “can’t” win this one (unless Lizzy sells a lot more) we are making a difference and shows what we can achieve when properly motivated.

Thank you, I did think it would be that way. Then I must do my big shopping haul! I think I will get both of them since they are so good, along with two old HV albums. I have so many albums I need to buy this year, it is over 10 albums from Pledisand that is just Korean ones!
Luckily most of them are pretty cheap but then I will also order Best Of in all versions in an attempt to save After School's career in Japan. Good thing I am not a big spender in my daily life. As long as it benefits Pledis then I'm all in. Smile

@intrepid, In my opinion they are both really good. Different people have different taste in music so it's really a matter of opinion. I use to h8 "Comeback You Bad Person" because...well the title made it sounded like a "needy" song...and the song itself sounded like that too. The song is like saying, you really needed that someone so you are begging for them to comeback. I didn't like these concepts or the cute ones(which I consider attention seeking and needy). I usually like the concepts that inspire self empowerment, independence or just upbeat songs...until Kahi graduated and then I was like,
[INFO] Playgirlz Voter - Automated After School Voting and Support System - Page 18 Kahico10

[INFO] Playgirlz Voter - Automated After School Voting and Support System - Page 18 Kahico10

and now that I can identify with "Comeback You Bad Person", I really like it. But "It's ME!" is a totally different story. When I first heard "It's ME!" I was like, HELL YEAH!!! That's my kind of song(Thank you Hanuel a.k.a Rottyful Sky a.k.a Alice Sky<3). I really like the "I'm so bad, girl! I'm so cougar. I'm so sexy, sexy, sexy, girl!" parts. LOL, that is hilarious. Yeah girl, Kahi is so bad and cougar and sexy, sexy, sexy. Btw, Kahi said this is a unisex song in case anyone was wondering LOL. "It's ME!" is about telling people who she is. It's gives off that mix of masculinity and sexiness that is so Kahi, with chicness added to it. The song kind of says "Why don't you see me. I'm saying I'm better than that girlish girl. I'm saying I'm cooler and sexier." and HELL YEAH, I AGREE!!! Why don't people see Kahi? Kahi is better than that girlish girl. Kahi is cooler and sexier. HAHA it's like Kahi knows exactly what I was thinking. I agree "It's ME!" is a master piece Very Happy

@SwePlaygirl, if you haven't seen Kahi's Let's Dance video on 1theK yet, you should check it out(btw, I still h8 1theK very much). In that video, Kahi does a very good job explaining why I love Kahi and "It's ME!" so much and if you watch it, some of the quotes I've previously wrote probably will make more sense Very Happy

That is funny because for me I loved everything about that song and I think it is Kahi's best song and I have played it so many times. When "It's ME!" came out I just found it to be okay. But it is 2015 now and I have changed a lot, both personally and especially when it comes to my music taste. So now I like her second album a lot more than I did back in 2013. Right now the song I enjoy the most is Hey Boy, but I also re-discovered One Love.

And finally to everyone: I am going very of topic now but I have been thinking that we might need a music discussion to be honest. In a way what PlayboyzAdam vrote about "It's Me!" cemented the thought even more. Who else wants a "General music discussion" where we can talk aobut songs, albums, sounds we want them to try and so on? AS does sing songs after all Laughing

Okay I'm back, the MBC accounts are working now. As are the MWave accounts.

I'm still a bit confused on what exactly it is supposed to be doing right now. Like it makes the MBC and MWave accounts and votes. Is it supposed to do anything else?
