Hey, another open question:

I believe I read somewhere that the game checks various factors when deciding if an idol's going to graduate from the group, and I was wondering if anyone has noticed weird hiccups with the system?

For example, I just ran through a year with about 10 graduations six years into the game, which more than doubled the amount of graduations I had up to that year. Some of the earlier graduations made sense intuitively without having a solid understanding behind the graduation mechanic  (ie a 26-y/o graduating, some of the first idols I hired who had lower fame levels/weren't in singles anymore graduated, etc.), but now they seem random: My top idols who still get contracts, have high satisfaction, rank in the elections, and are always in singles started graduating one after the other, regardless of the time they were in the group (Girls who were hired at the start up to 4 in-game years.). Additionally noticed that basically all these girls settle on a graduation date after they turn 19. Just wondering if this is due to the mechanics working behind the graduation system?

In any case I do think it may be a bit TOO sensitive or strict and the system might need some more transparency, I'm pretty sure I've lost 6 of the girls who ranked in my previous yearly election, lol. (And inversely a girl from the "first gen" who's the last of 7 idols is 21 and isn't planning on leaving until 27.)

anyone else notice this/have any ideas?
