What a month! Put a good chunk of work into things this month, as mentioned last time one thing I wanted to really work on was ease of formatting and posting - it does still take a lil bit to copy everything over but 90% of the formatting is handled for me, so the majority of my time spent now was on filling in descriptions like these. Aight, take a gander, there's some cool new stuff this time.

WAYRStats Contest Winner

Let’s do the important part first: the contest! If you posted three separate times this month in any of the WAYR threads, your name made it to this list, and thus you are eligible for the contest.

And the qualifying winners for the Aug WAYR contest are:

/u/PHNX_Arcanus
/u/SignificantMaybe
/u/deathjohnson1
/u/alwayslonesome
/u/_Garudyne
/u/Alexfang452
/u/caspar57
/u/Bruxae
/u/WavesWashSands
/u/donuteater111
/u/greenhillmario
/u/morphogenic96
/u/August_Hail
/u/Perturbed_pangolin
/u/yolo1234123
/u/fallenguru

/u/SailorKapibara did the honors this time, and our winner for this month is /u/alwayslonesome! Congratulations! For your choice of prizes you will have access to:

• A custom text flair on old.reddit
• A custom character flair on old.reddit
• Your choice of the sidebar recommendation (new and old)

Over time we’re hoping this list of prizes can expand, especially to include VNs themselves; for now, while this whole thing is just starting out, it’ll be a smaller list.

NEW!! Monthly: Party Goers Club - Full Output

The Party Goer’s club is the new Early Birds. Instead of it being a binary 1 or 0 for your posts each week I wanted to make a system that didn’t make it seem like even 24 hours later wasn’t as worthwhile. Between the new sorting type for the treads and the soon to be implemented weekly megathread, this system came to mind and I really like how it came out. The Party goers club essentially tracks the number of days your posts have seen the light of day, by subtracting the number of days between the thread and your post’s creation date from 7. I may omit users who have perfect scores as with this you can see a 7-way tie for first this month. Format is [days of exposure - number of posts]

Year-in-Total Leaderboards

Every translated and untranslated thread for the entire year is analyzed and the following leaderboards have been constructed based on a host of different criteria and parameters.

So hey, this leaderboard works now. Before now? There were two little logistical mistakes that ended up not allowing new records to be processed. So it doesn't do that anymore. Yay.

Conclusions

Huge updates this month, very very happy with the improvements and additions. Now that my output properly formats indents, bullet points, code blocks, bolded text, full pastebin output (some are omitted because the module is still in testing and the website has a 24 hour limit on new pastes, they’ll be added tomorrow. From here, it’s either doing major overhauls to the code structure to cut down on a very large number of lines (unlikely), adding the leaderboard leaderboard (more likely but still difficult) and beginning working on data trends and visualization (ehhhh). The changes to make next are all pretty involved so I dunno where I wanna take things next, but nonetheless I’m excited to go in those directions.

So, here’s a link to the discord server, pop on by if you’re interested in the project!
