They do for me as I don’t see myself reading much with animals unless I just knock that out with a kid’s story or something.

My card for posterity:
It might be helpful to set up some sort of home post where people can link their master card @bungakushoujo; I’m never going to be able to find this post again when I need it, haha.
My results if I had done the bingo this year:
Read for free: 待つ | L29
Join/participate in a book club: many choices, but here I’ll pick 七回死んだ男 | L34
No reviews/ratings/gradings: レバダン・希望の花 1
Finish a series: ファイアパンチ (series) | L25
An author you’ve never read before: 変な音 | L31
1 vol in a single day: ババンババンバンバンパイア 4 | L25 (my goal next year is to do this w/ a novel)
Setting is a workplace: おいしいごはんが食べられますように
Non-human protagonist: 猫と竜 | L26
A book you added to Natively: FLESH & BLOOD 7 | L34
(A higher level than before): (My highest is L38 薬屋のひとりごと; I’ll have to actively beat that…)
(Nonfiction): (I apparently haven’t read any nonfiction ;_; )
Won an award: 告白 | L33
Not bad overall! I was expecting a very spotty bingo card, but 3 accidental bingos is not bad!

Any ideas how that could look? 
Maybe a fresh post at the start of 2024 with all the info and people have their own bingo post/can post updates? Or some kind of wiki post…? This thread could be relegated to planning only and left to sleep until Q4 2024 if we decide to do a new card for 2025.

I figure that’d be good; we’re already at 200+ replies here, so maybe a fresh start would be good. Have either the first or second post be a wiki post where users can link their bingo cards, and users can use that to jump to their individual bingo home posts.

The second post on this thread could be repurposed as a table, with wiki
3 Likes
Just a table where we have our names and a link to our home post should suffice. I don’t think we necessarily need a new thread for that.
Something like this:
| Name | Bingo Card | Bingos so far |
|---|---|---|
| Napthalene | #d9b84a | 0 |
| shablul | #41b76a | 0 |
| omk3 | #faf308 | 0 |
| Belerith | #0f74a1 | 0 |
etc

^^^^^
This on the second post repurposing, and give the community wiki edit privileges and should be enough IMHO.

Seems like a fantastic solution, will do that when I am at a computer again in the next day or so (sad mobile user noises, formatting stuff is hard) and update the thread to let everyone know. I will also include some instructions for using bingo baker in the top post.
In other admin news, was everyone ok with @Naphthalene ’s suggestion of renaming the highest bingo prize rank to 一目十行 and keeping the others as suggested? Or did we have further suggestions?

The only change I’d be making over omk3’s table, is putting usernames like: @Megumin so you can hover over the username.
Where are we using this ranks btw? Will it be set up in the forums as a title? Will it be some flare on the website? Because if so you might want to specify either the edition or the year, and ideally have the titles being constant over next editions. Of course this is quite long term… and might not be repeated for some reason…

Wouldn’t that result in everyone being notified every time the table is edited? Not to mention that I think there’s a limit to how many people can be mentioned in one post.

Eehh god point. Disregard then.

So, regarding each point…
- Where to display titles: The thought was that it’s an informal fun thing you can add to your natively profile about me section. There was some talk of maybe trying to make custom forum flairs (such as how we can select “Regular” at the moment if it has been unlocked), but I think that is something for @brandon to confirm and provide more info about, as I’m not sure if it’s possible.
- About long term thinking: this was just kind of an idea that popped into my head and we’ve all been collaboratively organizing it as we go now as a community, but my individual thought is we either have different titles each year or add 2024 to differentiate and keep them discrete. That way we are flexible if people want to do something different in the future one day if we do continue with bingo. Open to any and all thoughts about this one, though!

I’m good with it!
I know you’ve been pretty busy with the tags/CSV dump lately @brandon, but wanted to see if you had any thoughts on this.

Having a linkable flair thing on the site that brings to this thread, might increase awareness of the forum and engagement, which is afaik, something @brandon wanted to happen?

If that is possible and what we end up doing, I think we definitely need a fresh thread so that no one joining in is put off by the amount of replies or has to scroll through hundreds of replies about planning to find out what’s going on. 
Edit to add: I may hold off on creating a wiki post in this thread until we confirm if we can link into a thread. If we do go with a new thread then it’d make more sense to set it up there.

Here’s mine:
I have a feeling I’ll be using my free space for the cover one, but luckily I won’t have to go searching for a work of a higher Natively level than I’ve read before! If I only count finished books and not dropped, then my current highest is L36 (この本を盗む者は, though I still think it’s lower than that; I have more trouble with 宝石商リチャード氏 which is L34), and I’ve already got こころ, which is L39! The only squares I think I’ll have to buy books for are the award and debut ones. Turns out I already own 天沢夏月’s debut work, サマー・ランサー! It also won an award, but it can only count for one, so.
Fills (13/16)
a work with a workplace setting: 夜明けの雲 (Feb 29)
higher Natively level than read before: 夢十夜 (Mar 10)
no reviews/gradings/ratings on Natively: シンデレラ・ティース
join/participate in a book club: 天気の子 (Feb 08)
a work with a non-human protagonist: 本を守ろうとする猫の話
book that’s been in your 積読 pile the longest:
a debut work: サマー・ランサー (Feb 27)
a work that’s won an award: 神去なあなあ日常 (Apr 27)
read one volume or story in a single day: １Ｒ１分３４秒 (May 20)
non-fiction:
a book read despite the cover:
an author you’ve never read before: ８月アウトロー① (Jan 22)
a work or preview available to read for free: 大阪の反逆 ーー織田作之助の死ーー (Jan 02)
a book that you added to Natively: DOUBLES!! ーダブルスー 4th Set (Jan 31)
a book chosen randomly: SPY×FAMILY 家族の肖像 (May 29)
finish a series: DOUBLES!! ーダブルスー Final Set (Feb 22)
And if this were 2023:
I actually got a full bingo! Many of them had multiple possible books that could fill them, and those were chosen pretty much randomly, mainly from more recent books.
a work with a workplace setting: ギンモクセイの仕立て屋 上
higher Natively level than read before: この本を盗む者は
no reviews/gradings/ratings on Natively: さいとう市立さいとう高校野球部 上

non-fiction: 青春サプリ。 自分がここにいる理由
a book read despite the cover: SPY×FAMILY⑤ (I hate Yuri, so I’m counting it)
an author you’ve never read before: 蟻魔君は魔法使い
a work or preview available to read for free: 待つ
a book that you added to Natively: 恋をするにはLv.が足りません！
a book chosen randomly: ガールズ・ブルー
finish a series: 勇者のひざには猫がいる④

Made one too!
Also, 2023
I joined Natively like a month ago, but if I include all the Tadoku graded readers I read I guess I got two bingos? That’s pretty boring though, so I’m planning to only do native material next year.
…i totally did not notice i could check off items on the page itself whoops
I was a bit concerned about the awards one because the prize winners on Natively are all L27+ novels, but I think there are manga awards?? so I am probably going for those… (any other beginner friendly awards suggestions appreciated!)

Natively only has a few major awards, I’m planning to do the 江戸川乱歩賞 for my own bingo card, which is not listed on Natively.
Here’s a list of manga awards: 日本の漫画賞 - Wikipedia
Edit: 漫画大賞 has an English wiki: Manga Taishō - Wikipedia
電子コミック大賞 doesn’t but it should be easy to understand regardless since it’s mostly just a list: 電子コミック大賞 - Wikipedia

I have no idea of what’s possible. I think other discourse forums do custom titles, not sure. If we want this to happen / discuss possibilities, I recommend opening a product request and discuss there 
Also it’d be more likely to happen if someone finds a suitable discourse plugin! Happy to add a plugin.

No need for plug-ins. The feature is already in, but it does require some extra work on your part.
Since this is a 2024 thing, we can do it all at the end of next year, so there’s quite a bit of time still.
EDIT: found a way to make it easier for you. I’ll shoot you a DM
