Almost. I also had to experiment a bit with it, but adding a time takes it from 2025-04-27T00:00:00Z (which shows the whole day as a range when you click it) to 2025-04-27T00:00:00Z. It’s not the most obvious widget.

I miss the time when the polls would just show the closing date…

Got it - thx! For anyone else wondering, the final code for that is: [date=2025-04-27 time=00:00:00 timezone="UTC"]

Looks like we had a three-way tie. Tie-breaker vote closes 2025-05-04T00:00:00Z.

Off to a good start:

At least we’ve reduced it to a two-way tie now :joy:

That said… If we get another tie, does anyone mind if I just decide via dice roll or coin toss? I’d rather not do another week-long poll

Also how long after poll-end do ppl need until we start reading? Is anyone planning to buy a physical copy? Sry, I forgot what the general rule of thumb is for this kinda thing

@shitsurei & @legato if your respective nominations win, are you fine running the home thread?

Hey, we still have almost a week to go. Looking at the original voters there’s definitely potential to turn it all around and make it a three-way tie again!

(More seriously though, looking at the original voters and the current state of the tie-breaker vote I expect 凜として弓を引く to win.)

Sounds good to me.

Btw, for something we can use afterwards if we want to: I really liked this suggestion for a systematic poll-less tie breaker.

Always!

Looks like it’s kinda unlikely that I’ll need to run the club but I’m happy to. (Although I might ask you for some help if I need to split chapters and don’t want to spoil myself too much :joy:)

I’m also good with that, tbh.

That’s the spirit… :woman_shrugging: :upside_down_face: :sweat_smile:

Hmm I think I like that actually like that, cuz of the recency bias thing

Would be happy to help

Since it doesn’t look like my pick is gonna win at this point, I will do some press for 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 レア属性を引き当てたので、気ままな冒険者を目指します | L29 which is currently on Kindle Unlimited.

Discourse’s rounding is breaking the tie for us :sweat_smile:

It appears Discourse also has an “elders first” policy :stuck_out_tongue:

I did notice that rounding thing in the non-Fiction club poll recently too. Don’t remember seeing it before the last week or two. But maybe I just wasn’t paying attention

If you mean the vote order, it’s just alphabetical.

なるほど - coincidentally alphabetical happens to match the nomination order, and the order I listed them in, in the poll

Reminder for tiebreaker - poll closes in about 24 hrs

I keep voting for the kittyboy but who even knows if I have room in my reading schedule for another club :sweat_smile: I guess we’ll find out if it wins the coin toss.

Alright - went with the oldest nomination first policy, so 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 レア属性を引き当てたので、気ままな冒険者を目指します | L29 it is

@legato do you wanna make a home thread, and then poll for start date there?
