Pirate Party?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party_UK

Banished from the hero’s party, I decided to live a quiet life in the countryside.

The UKs NHS do some.

It’s not a factual documentary?

Really enjoyed the LN so far, Can’t wait to see Nero (the cat).

Idea 1:

I was thinking of web scraping the data before hand, then having it hardcoded in an array or DB to be used in the drop-down. I have seen a few of the anime sites have pages for each season it could be pulled from. I saw some plugins for searchable drop downs for lime survey, So you might be able to make it work with the same software.

I think Manga would be the most difficult to limit, I am not aware of a single point where all the data is available. Light Novels have a CSV someone is scraping and hosting on GitHub, Anime have clearly defined seasons, But manga doesn’t seem to have a release system.

Idea 2:

You could check the account age. If anyone starts creating accounts now for a poll which may never happen then they deserve an extra vote.

I am absolutely open to feedback like this for if/when we do something like this again.

Just some ideas -

1. Limiting the options - you could pull the anime’s that have aired in the time frame from one of the Anime databases and limit the users to searchable drop downs.

I do worry now that people know I made these calls based on number of nominations that they could simply fill out the form a bunch of times. There are some steps I can take on my end to prevent or filter that, but it would also mean doing things like attaching browser cookies to the form or recording ip addresses, which I haven’t wanted to do out of respect for the users.

2. I feel it would be less intrusive than cookies or IP addresses to have a confirmation like you do with email signups. You could have an optional input for Lemmy Username and have a script to send the user a message via Lemmy to confirm they made a submission (… reply ‘YES’ to confirm…). Blank or unconfirmed submission could be treated with less importance when taking nominations due to the possibility of multiple submissions.

If you do decide to do it again in the future I am happy to help when possible.

And Thanks again for doing this.

I am happy but surprised this got a season 2.

I love the light novels but it is a slower story so I am not sure if it will have the action to keep viewers. But then again there’s a lot of slice of life series.

3. No Game No Life

I haven’t read the light novels but I think the first season ends at the end of the second volume as the penultimate chapter is “Balsam and Woodsorre”.

There are 12 English translated and 15 Japanese novels so based on the first season, season 2 may cover volumes 3 + 4 leaving 5-12?

Always commit to it, especially if the prank is getting you to find something.

You can either stay and work, or take the day walking around going to all the shops to buy a long weight, tartan paint, left handed screwdriver or spirit level bubbles.

My domain is my name so I am not too worried about that, but for the address I use a PO Box and the domain registrars domain privacy service to hide the details.

Could also be windows fault.

It likes to do soft restarts and not actually restart.

I started telling my users to always hold shift when shutting down or restarting to make sure it shuts down fully.

The other day I saw someone hosting their blog on a GitHub repository.

Just using markdown files and folders to organise it to their liking.

If you are writing stories you could use a similar approach. A folder per story then subfolders for chapters. Then having the main page have links each story’s folder with links to each chapter inside.

I ended up using Koreader on a Kobo as it lets you browse via folders.

I can copy the books onto it in my preferred folder structure and just browse them as required.

Part 5 - Volume 10 is out next week! We offer prays to the gods.
