I appreciate the support!
And actually, they will be choosing 2 from the top 30 of each shield type, not just the top 30 period. So as it stands, I am now safely in the top 30 of the kite shields (japan/asia, since they broke it down into regions instead of shield types for no reason), and it is in no small part due to your assistance.
With only one day left on the clock, and my being 30 votes ahead of 30th place - there should be nearly no way Discord is going to get knocked out of being considered for one of the two kite shields that are going in the game.
