Anyone else feel some déjà vu?

What is WAYRStats?

I'm so glad you asked in such an incredibly convenient and properly formatted manner! WAYRStats is a data science script written in Python that passes a search query to the Reddit API and processes the results. In plain English, my script passes a string to Reddit to run as a search on /r/visualnovels; this search string isolates and returns nothing but the WAYR threads. Using this fucking mountain of data I get as a result I can go through ALL that information, parse it in various ways, and set up basically whatever leaderboards/metrics/analytics I (or you!) could want.

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.

Qualifiers for Jul WAYR:

/u/Jaggedmallard26
/u/DubstepKazoo
/u/tintintinintin
/u/ArchydaCookie
/u/ejennsyahmixcel
/u/FairPlayWes
/u/ShakeragStreet
/u/baisuposter
/u/DarkBlueDovah
/u/TheGorefiend
/u/ItsNooa
/u/Gemnyan
/u/lusterveritith
/u/neirik193
/u/fallenguru
/u/Borizwithaz
/u/strayalive
/u/Alexfang452
/u/shadowmend
/u/alwayslonesome
/u/donuteater111
/u/clc88

Must be the summer months that brings out the boosted numbers, haha.

Google Assistant did the honors this time, and our winner for this month is /u/Gemnyan! 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.

Conclusions

The two-fer! A couple changes to how the logs get formatted makes transitioning this into a reddit post all the easier, heck there's still more room to grow, if I can get this working well enough that I need only to add some quips here and there then we'd be well on the way towards automation. Potentially a future endeavor
