ok people, we need support

So apparently the people at BT can't fathom that Accel World has a legitimately large fanbase and claims the votes got spammed with bots. They froze the polls on their website and turned it into a Facebook poll where Accel World is leading regardless.

Seeing as how they have such a negative attitude towards AW, I doubt it will matter very much even if it does win in the poll.

''Code-Zero will then take one of the top 4 in votes, and I might take another of these series.''

Unless someone has already done so, I will attempt to compile all the spoilers and summaries in this thread together. It would be nice if someone is willing to help me with it or edit the compilation as I am compiling it since I have not read the series myself and want to make it easier for others like me to get quick, fast, summaries of the ln. If anyone wants to work on it with me I can do it on Google docs and provide my email. If someone has done it, sorry for posting this, I probably just haven't found your post of it yet, and I'm not trying to trample on it.
I want to try and find the spoilers for every volume, not any specific one, starting from the ones not already translated. As for experience, I have worked on my own share of online research projects and am fairly skilled in it, as long as I have the time to do it. I am deciding to do this as this thread seems like a goldmine of smaller and larger spoilers and summaries, and so far I have found only the 1-5 summaries and they are all fairly brief. However it would be nice if one of the people who actually read could help, of course there is no obligation for anyone to do anything. I personally do not know Japanese so I have been unable to read the series. I can give further details if anyone is interested or even cares

Okay, how do you explain votes that jumped by the hundreds in 5 minutes then? It's not just against Accel World, there has been a lot of spam and botting on our forums recently for the other series, but why are you guys getting so defensive?

Oh, and btw, how do you like arguing on this thread?

You know why; In their minds the only reason why people wouldn't like their beloved series is because of a fat protagonist.

Yup, no other reasons can possibly exist.

Easier access to the crowd? We're not against Accel World winning, just so you know. It's just that there had been mass jumps in votes for every single series as well, including Full Metal Panic that went from like, 40 votes to 280 within an hour?

Seriously...let's put it this way, even if Accel World wins, it doesn't mean that we will take Accel World.

And to put it simply, it's not like last year's poll where if SAO wins, it gets the translator. We do not assign translators; this is a poll individual translators decide to use to decide the next project.

First, we are not a rigidly cohesive group. Rather, we are a collection of people who hold roughly similar interests. There is little in the way of control structure or specialized tasks, and we are very open to anyone who wishes to come and go - even to the point to allowing anonymous edits and contributions (within limits). To join the ranks of Baka-Tsuki one only needs to show up and contribute what they can.

Do you happen to read the part where Teh_Ping says

What do you think Baka-Tsuki is? A Guild? A Collective? A Band of Writers working together for Love and Justice?

It's not my poll. It's Code-Zero's. He makes all the conditions...I'm just hitchhiking.

And anyway, can the author of this webpage, please take down all your translations that were from us, or at least give some credits to the translators? We do not agree to anyone profitting from our translations here.

Technically, I didn't freeze the polls, I locked the topic, because people started to get flamy and trolly, the side-effect was that you couldn't vote anymore

A) It's not Teh_ping's poll.
B) Its not they don't want to translate AW, the translators that are translating are busy with rl shit.
C) What your doing is digging your own grave. What your currently doing is annoying the people who had the slight thought of willing to translate AW. By acting like a total ass your telling the whole Translation community of B-T that if someone decides to translate AW and translate it at a slow pace your going to go all anal in their face.
D) Teh_ping said he would pick up something from the poll if n0m@n wasn't going to do it. At this current moment. I HONESTLY DOUBT TEH_PING WOULD PICK AW.

Please don't disrespect the translators on Baka-Tsuki. They have taken their own free time to provide you something not essential for their lively hood. Its great that you have the enthusiasm and support to try and get a Light Novel translated, but please pay heed what Baka-Tsuki is.

It was the right decision, but the first complaint in the Facebook poll was about Accel World being in the lead and possibly having its numbers boosted by bot voting. I think AW fans are justifiably defensive about accusations of cheating.

This is Code-Zero's poll, right? Is Teh_Ping going to take one of the remaining top four, or just pick from the overall list once Code-Zero makes a decision?

You are given your right to correct that person on Facebook, that person may not know how the facebook poll works. Despite that, the defensive seems to be wide spread and overblown for something small and relatively easy to fix without the widespread of a conflict. How is that warranted to an entire blog posting complaints against Baka-Tsuki? http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/70714693/

Teh_Ping should not have come here to warn anyone in here. The rules are easy to access and read. http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/in...uki:Copyrights

True. It's really difficult to translate. We should be more appreciative to them for giving time and effort just to translate. After all, they are doing this for free. We just have to patiently wait and be thankful.

True but there is a limit though. We can't go around bashing people to defend something we like.

Anyway, we still have the summaries here to tide us over while waiting for the real bulk of the story.

Um, I was saying locking the thread was the right decision. Not defending the unwarranted complaining at all here.

Facebook poll jacking would be a stupid argument, but KH is right about the votes boost. And please remember that Mismarca had huge votes jump a day after.

And second, I believe that Ping can pick one from the remaining 3 if he likes one. Up to him. So can he make another poll and add new projects for it. Or just pick the project he really wants to translate.
