1. The bot now properly calculates sentences from multiple languages
2. The language you registered first is your primary language. Meaning that if you do not include a language tag for an update, the bot will automatically assume you were reading in your primary language.
3. I should roll out the new bracket based ranking soonish.
4. The tag for the Korean language has been corrected.  It is now #ko

Happy reading! Good Luck!

P.S. : Happy New Year!

Note:  As per jimjamjeniko’s suggestion, I have added the ability to set a goal for yourself the contest and will rank participants by goal (more on this too later). So when you register this time add “#target {number}“(minus the {}) to your tweet to set your goal for this round.

Please consult the manual for registration instructions! “if you do not set the language before closing the #reg command with a ; , you will default to japanese ”

Some participants were suggesting we have shorter and more numerous rounds while others suggested keeping month long rounds and just having few of them (3 a year). What do the rest of you think?

edit: There would be a poll here but im retarded so just post it in the comments, thanks.

This contest runs on twitter.

1. Contest Months

The ReadMOD Tadoku contests runs during the months of January, April, July, and October. This means that the contest starts the second that the timezone you inhabit hits a contest month. example  January 1, 2012 00:00:00.  Contest rounds end on the last second of the month. Example January 31, 2012 23:59:59.

1. Mediums and Values

You can read various types of media for the Tadoku contest. Each medium has a different points (points = Tadoku pages) per page value associated with it.  The following list will show you the viable mediums and points per page (ppp) values.

• #book  : 1 ppp
  • #dr ^[6] – (double rowed) Japanese Only : 1.48 ppp
• #manga : 0.2 ppp
• #net : 1 ppp
• #fullgame ^[1] : 0.1667 pps (points per screen) ^[2]
• #game^[3] :  0.05 pps ^[4]
•  #lyric: 1 ppl (point per lyrics for whole song)
• #subs : 0.2 ppm (points per minute)
• #news : 1 ppp
• #nico : 0.1 ppm
• #sentences : Language dependent

1. How to Register

Registering for Tadoku contests usually (unless I am unable to open them for some reason) starts 15 days before the start of the round and closes midway into the contest. Participants are restricted to 3 reading languages in order to ensure that they get to read extensively in each language.  When you sign up you will let the bot know you are registering by using the #reg tag followed by what languages^[5] (separated with a semicolon) you plan on reading in. Example:

 


“@TadokuBot #reg #lang1; #lang2; #lang3″

 

If you only intend on reading  Japanese you simply submit “@TadokuBot #reg”. This will set your language to JP automatically.
If you only plan on reading 2 languages simply remove “; #lang3″ from the first example : “@TadokuBot #reg #lang1; #lang2″.  Participants that only plan on reading one language (that isn’t Japanese) simply remove everything behind #lang1.  If your attempt to register is successful the bot should send you back a message confirming that you have registered.

• Submitting your read pages

Reading submissions, like registering, are handled by the TadokuBot. In order to submit your update to the bot you simply tell the bot how much(page, screens, minutes) you read and what medium it was. You are not required to do any page conversion, the bot will handle all that for you. Example:

 

“@TadokuBot 51 #manga”

 

Be very careful to section off other non-update related numbers with a semicolon.

If you forget this the bot will include that number in your update. Example:

 

“@TadokuBot 94 #book; Man Harry Potter book 6 is awesome!”


 

The example above is a shows the correct way to section off other numbers from an update. If the semicolon had not been placed the bot would read the update as 946 #book. Please don’t forget your semicolons.
You can submit however many updates you like at once provided that you separate each medium’s update with a semicolon. Example:

 

“@TadokuBot 51 #manga; 12 #book; 982 #sentences”

 

a. Submitting minutes

The #subs and #nico mediums require you submit the time watched. The syntax for that is HH:MM, H being hour and M being minutes. Example:

 

“@TadokuBot 01:50 #subs” 

 

The colon must be present or the bot will ignore the update.

 

b. Submitting pages you re-read (repeats)

If you have previously something before but would still like to read it for the contest you must tell the bot how many times you have read the text. You receive half as many points for each read. So if this is your second time reading a book you would use the #second tag. Third time? #third etc (note: the repeats only go to #fifth) Example:

 

“@TadokuBot 80 #book #third”

 

c. Undoing a mistake

If you incorrectly submit an update you can undo it by using the #undo tag. The #undo tag deletes your last update and recalculates your score.  If you previously submitted a tweet with 10 updates and made a mistake in the 5th update you have to undo all the updates that followed that tweet AND that update (thats 6 undos). Example (for 3 undos) :

 

“@TadokuBot #undo; #undo; #undo”

 

d. Submitting for languages other than Japanese

Previous examples have shown the way to submit pages for Japanese language reading. If you want to submit pages for another language all you have to so is specify which languages the submission is for. To do this all you have to do is add the language tag to the end of that particular update. Example showing multiple language submission:

 

“@TadokuBot 15 #book #pt; 86 #net #ko”

 

1. Checking your score/rank

You may view your current page count and rank at any time by viewing the ranking page.
