I’d renominate 86, for what it’s worth.

Whenever you have time to put up the poll, it would be appreciated.

I want to see how the results are more or less before diving into my next book. I wouldn’t want to go into one that is going to become a club read :sweat_smile:

Sorry @megumin, could you vote again? I just realized I left a book off the initial poll accidentally.

I was wondering why my votes disappeared, and was brewing myself a coffee to wake me up :sweat_smile:

Sorry for not updating yesterday. We have a tie between 裏世界ピクニック 1 and 美少年探偵団 きみだけに光かがやく暗黒星 講談社タイガ; normally I’d put up a tiebreaker poll, but would you guys instead be interested in trying a WK rule where, in a tie, the oldest-nominated book wins instead? 美少年探偵団 きみだけに光かがやく暗黒星 講談社タイガ would be our win in that case.

I’m fine either way though personally probably won’t participate with 美少年探偵団 きみだけに光かがやく暗黒星 講談社タイガ (limited time in general)

Would the club read 裏世界ピクニック after that, or vote again?

Sadly, I’m not interested in either of those, so whatever any of those who want to read should decide.

It’s been discussed to clean-up the list after this run, so I’d say vote again with new list?

This is what I’m thinking; 裏世界ピクニックand other high voters will likely stay.

If that’s the case, then I’d prefer a tiebreaker vote - but won’t complain if the club decides otherwise

I am biased since 美少年探偵団 was my nomination (edit: wait, it’s not?? I remember vividly nominating it somewhere, but not here then?)

It is my actually completely unbiased opinion that we should go with the oldest nomination.

Feel free to ignore me.

For context, the WK reasoning for “earliest nomination wins in case of ties” is that a) it’s a nice impartial tiebreaker that can always be applied, b) there is a recency bias, so when older nominations finally win they have a slightly stronger claim, c) it skips the time necessary for a tiebreaker poll which could also become a tie and d) nobody can either game the system (“Haha let’s make a tie!”) or needs to feel guilty for accidentally making one and prolonging the process; there’s always a clear winner.

But it should be a rule from the beginning, not something added afterwards.

Definitely!

I like those reasons.

I vote for letting the older nomination win, but I also think we should definitely keep 裏世界ピクニック 1 on the nomination list, for next time.

All righty, I’m going to declare 美少年探偵団 as our winner! This was nominated all the way back in July 2023, so I’m glad to see it have its day! I don’t think @senkuma has been around for a while, so do we have a volunteer to run the club?

Well, as I mentioned, I thought it was my nomination, so I don’t mind taking care of it.

That would be awesome; thanks Naphthalene!
