多読コンテスト Round 2 For Dummies

29 Mar 2011 18 Comments

by readmod in how-to, update

…or not since I’m horrible at explaining things. A lot of this is going to be the same as the old post, new parts will be larger and bolded.

Round 2 starts on 4/1/2011 0:00:00 your time and ends on 4/30/2011 23:59:59 your time

Updating your score

As in the first round, we shall be using the TadokuBot to update our score*.

The biggest changes here are :

  1. You can have multiple updates per tweet.

    Place a semicolon between medium updates inorder to update multiple counts with 1 tweet.
    Ex: @TadokuBot 25 #book; 65 #manga; 36 #sentence
    If you forget the semicolon get ready to use the #undo function

  2. Updates must be in a certain format.

    3. Updates must be in the following format “@TadokuBot [number] #[optional tag like dr or language tag] #[medium]“. Reasoning for this explained in number 3.

  3. You can have other numbers in your update tweets.

    4. As long as you follow proper format, you can put extra number in your updates now. So “@TadokuBot 1789 #book; I read 3 books today in 1 sitting!” will work just fine.

  4. Languages other than Japanese

    5. If you are reading a language other than Japanese you will have to let the bot know by including the languages tag before the medium.
    Ex.”@TadokuBot 542 #fr #sentences”

  5. Submitting reading times for Subs and Nico

    Instead of calculating the minutes your self, you can now submit times using the following format “@TadokuBot H:MM #subs”. H being hour and MM being minutes. Seconds are ignored on purpose since they are worth 1/300th of a page in subs or 1/600th if its ニコニコ.

list of all the current tags

  • #book
    • #dr ( for Japanese use only)
  • #manga
  • #net
  • #fullgame
  • #game
  • #lyric
  • #subs
  • #news
  • #nico
  • #sentences
  • #undo
  • #[insert language here]
    • #fr – French
    • #de – German
    • #es – Spanish
    • #en – English
    • #kr – Korean
    • #th – Thai
    • #cn – Chinese
    • #it – Italian
    • #nl – Dutch
    • #pl – Polish
    • #el – Greek
    • #ru – Russian
    • #eo – Esperanto
  • #repeat

The rest of this is mostly copied from the last “how to” post.

The non medium tags explained
  1. #Undo will obviously be used when you make a boo-boo in your updating tweet. It will make it so that your last update never even happened. Usage is as follows: “@TadokuBot #undo I f’ed up” That last part is completely optional :p (Note: Please wait until the undo action takes place to update your score again)
  2. #Repeat was born from our new rule letting you re-read material for a smaller return (#fifth is the maximum) . Syntax goes like this: “@TadokuBot 200 #manga #fifth” #fifth could be #second or #third etc.
  3. #dr means double rowed and is to be used in case you have a book that is formatted like this. It gives a small boost (*1.48) to equal out the extra reading you are doing per page. #dr is only to be used with Japanese books and requires the #book tag to work. ( f’n BDH)

Where you stand

Q: “But Silent, how will everyone know my awesome score if I’m only tweeting what I’ve read in the last [insert time period]“

A: Fear not, everyone will know just how awesome you are because TadokuBot will tweet your completely calculated score [so you guys might want to follow it] when you update it. You can also always view the scores the old way on the ranking list(won’t be active until the competition starts).

(small note : the new system updates every minute)

* Currently working on another method of updating, hopefully will be up this weekend.

People from all over keep asking me “Hey Silent, is there going to be another tadoku??” and when I say people from all over im referring to about 3 people.  But to answer everyone’s question, yes I do plan on having more tadoku contests. When you ask? good question!  I have come up with the following schedule for the next year.

1. January

2. April

3. July

4. October

I think 2 months between contests should give people long enough to recover from the last contest and improve for the next contest. The next blog post will contain the rule changes so stay tuned.

Random note: It took me a month to write this blog post.

The results are in…

Thanks to you all this turned out much better than I expected.  All in all we read a stunning 15138.4 pages (huge improvement over that other contest)! So everyone should pat themselves on the backs, you did good.

But some of us did a little better than others. ..BlackDragonHunt is our contest winner with a huge 2224 pages read over the last month! Congrats!

I hope this last month has been beneficial to everyone’s language acquisition quests and that you will continue to include reading in your future study plans. I am preparing plans for future tadoku contests so keep an eyeout for it!

P.S. Blog posts about your journey through the contest are encouraged.

Last Week!
