Someone on /r/visualnovels ran a contest to determine the most desired VN English translation in the community.

He made it double elimination with a Winner's and Loser's Bracket.

 

To determine what entries could got in, it seems like as long as it didn't have a fully released fan TL, or an official TL wasn't announced in some way with consistent TL progress it was allowed. One fan TL (Bishoujo Mangenkyou) got released towards the end of the contest.

 

Here are the results :

So since I'm a stats nerd, I decided to extrapolate the relative 'voting strength' of how often people preferred to vote for each visual novel in relation to the winner, White Album 2.

I mostly relied on Winner's Bracket since those had more votes, but in cases where weird results happened in Loser's Bracket where a VN over/underperformed or beat a VN that was lower than based on the other VN in the winner's bracket I did some little adjustments.

The general mathematical equation I used to determine the proper % was "% in Match A" * "% in Match B" / 50

I don't see Baldr Sky Dives here. Did it get translation while I was sleeping?

It was picked up by Sekai a few years ago. I'm not sure if the translation is still not dropped though. I don't remember hearing any news about it after they refused to use an ongoing fan-translation soon after the announcement, even though that fan-translation was the primary reason why it got picked up in the first place.

Where is the fun in starting a translation project when you can't crush the efforts of another group in the process?
