>>Still no one has mentioned they will be doing the top 100 this year
Bump

>>14347639
Pump

Honestly, I'm a little scared what it would've been like given the influx of redditors, zoom zooms, fedora tippers and others. Didn't Harry Potter land a ridiculous amount of (both ironic and non-ironic) votes last year already?

Yeah I was thinking about this the other day.

If no one comes forward to do the chart, we'll just have a vote and list at the end of the year without a chart.

>>14347639
what? do you people actually read?

Just do one for 2020. It's not like anyone's taste here has changed much.

Is there some sort of program or website we can use to do this? How do they do this? I've only browsed this particular board for 3 years, and I missed it, the 2 previous times

the last several lists have been faked by discord

can anybody post the last charts? I can't seem to find them.

>>>/wsr/750675

Any new insights?

>>14347957
It's one anon who makes a google doc and makes a chart based on the results. There is also a discord group that makes their own chart based on their own votes.

bump just so savage dectectives doesnt get snubbed from top 50 yet again

>>14347639
I was the anon who organized the voting last year. I think I pass this time. You cockduckers post on Reddit and we have plebbitors flocking to here all year and damaging the site. Big pass this time.

>>14349487
Bait/10

>>14347853
Harry Potter has been on all the lists. This year, it'll probably have crap like Guenon and Evola on it.

>>14349621
I literally was. I organized the voting on Google Forms or whatever and some other Anon offered to make the chart. Then some FAGGOT posted it on R*ddit and we had lots of cocksuckers flocking to here. There is no bait.

>>14349634
It wasn on the 2018 one

>20 posts in
>no ground has been made
guys come on

Who cares what the hordes of zoomers and redditors and tripfags enjoy? this is pleb central nowadays

>>14349665
Somebody else volunteer. I am looking up surveying software on Google, but I haven't made any real findings yet.

Google Forms sounds nice, but Idk if they can stop people from voting from the same IP adress

>>14349849
>Google Forms sounds nice, but Idk if they can stop people from voting from the same IP adress
Theres an option to only allow people who sign in to their Google accounts. That's how I did it last year.

First 20 should be Dominated by the books from the bible

>>14348076
>>14348113
Most of this is just garbage or utterly childish.

>>14349859
>Theres an option to only allow people who sign in to their Google accounts.
i dont think so

>>14349878
Look it up. It's there.

>>14347639
The top 100 list peaked in 2014. That was the list that got us all the redditors in the first place. After that the lists were heavily meme'd because we knew they'd get posed to reddit.

It's worthless.

>>14349882
no, i meant that i dont think we should do that

>>14349883
You are posting on 4chan. Why do you care? You are talking this too seriously.

>>14349885
Thats how it's done. Otherwise you have people with multiple votes. Another option would be to choose another service which allows you to do what you want.

>>14349352
Why not make a thread for entries and the OP enters them into a strawpoll and we all vote in the strawpoll.

>>14349925
We need sth that detects people's IPs. I can see any basement dweller autist neet spending the whole morning creating gmail accounts and shilling for Mike Ma.

It'd be kinda funny, on the other hand.

>>14349958
Bc then the guy managing it would have to enter the 2,000 "candidates" in a gigantic Strawpoll

>>14349958
And people can't just use VPNs?

>>14349965
This is meant for>>14349956

>>14349965
You're replying to the wrong message but whatever.
I'm sure someone has enough time on their hands. I'm away from uni until February so I guess I could just enter the entries over the next few months.

>>14349967
Mmmm. Can one VPN make it look like you got diverse IPs, ir only one (apart from your original)?

>>14349975
>Next months
This should be done by 30 December, since it is a 2019 chart.

>>14349980
Popular VPN services have multiple servers in different countries so you can just hop between servers and countries.

>>14347639
they always suck and it's like 100 people participating
stop

>>14349980
It's easier to use a VPN service than to create multiple google accounts, just saying.

>>14349999
2017 and 2018 were good.

>>14349984
Ok so we just have a strawpoll thread until the 30th and officially announce results on 1st January next year.

>>14350031
Dont do it. It's a pain in the ass and ultimately R*dditors will flock en masse.

just make a chart out of reddit's best of list

>>14349640
>implying there were never any cross posters on /lit/ ever

>>14350031
Pfff, I fucking guess? I see no more options, so I think we can go for this. Spamming is unavoidable nowadays, so, idgaf

How do we collect "candidates"? I thought about opening a thread and keep bumping it for a few days, at least during from European night time to US night time


VPNs can cost. Whoever got one deserves one vote for all the fuss after getting one.

>>14350135
Don't do it. Bunch of ingrates here and whiny Plebbitors. Not worth it.

>>14350170
meh. It'd my first time, so I wanna try. I think the result is kinda cool, anyways.

>>14349634
Guenon and Evola are great

tomorrow I will make a thread regarding this same issue. Let's see what more people think, and how we could to this. I thought about this:
>make different threads, collect names of books for 3 or 4 days
>put on strawpoll after this for 1 whole day.
>would need help from somebody, since I don't intend to spend a whole day bumping and caring for a 4chan thread.
results this way would be in on 20th December.
I'm thinking of a ban on meme authors like Evola, Uncle Ted, or Mike Ma. We'll see.

>>14350594
Why the hell are you guys trying to do a Strawpoll? Google forms makes way more sense. If there is seriously no one willing to take the time to figure that shit out I can do it. I just need someone to do the actual chart.

>>14350700
>Google forms makes way more sense.
could you explain why to me, please? Is it faster? I'm open to all suggestions

>>14350706
a. With strawpoll you have to enter all the options. It can't be free response like Forms. So you'd have to enter thousands of options, and even then there's going to a few autists that have some book you forgot and they'll complain, honestly rightfully so.

b. People can easily use bots to mess with the results.

I'm doing the Forms survey right now, currently plan to keep it simple and just ask what greatest book of all time is. If anyone has suggestions hit me. I'll make a thread later with the link when this is all figured out.

>>14350733
when do you intend to close the results? And where are you? It'd be interesting to post the link when Europe is awake (it's 1 or 2 in the morning for most of the continent rn), apart from American proper times. I can do the Europe part myself.

Suggestions?
>The Bible (always gets in)
>Saint Augustine Confessions (it's received a lot of attention this year)
>Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (same)

I'd avoid posting meme works like Evola's, Ted Kackzinsky's, Mike Ma's, Infinite Jest... But that's your call, m8.

>>14348076
>Joyce
>Wallace
>Pynchon
>McCarthy
>Williams
>that high
Fuck! What were people thinking? Guess that's the year where the meme books came from.

>>14347853
You're right. Nick Land will likely make top 10.

>>14350765
I’ll close voting when the thread I post with the link 404s.
It’s a free response question so no options.
What time should I post it that’s convenient for Europe? Like 12 EST tomorrow?
Pic related is the form, if anyone’s done this before let me know if there’s something I need to change.

>>14347853
I'm voting for Harry Potter and I've only seen the films

>>14350834
>I’ll close voting when the thread I post with the link 404s.
as long as the chart is up by the start of the year, it's grand.
>no options.
what i 2 persons wanna vote for the same book, but they write it differently? Like: "To Kill a Mockingbird" and 'To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee'.

>>14350834
If you mean 12 pm EST, that's grand. I think that's when the board becomes more active. Thanks

>>14350906
I’ll just manually count them as the same in the data, shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I’ll post the link at 12pm EST tomorrow then.

>>14350922
>I’ll just manually count them as the same in the data
wew
as you see, thanks anon. Godspeed. Setting an alarm clock for your thread to come up at 12pm (EST).

>>14350922
how many votes per person?

>>14350957
how many books can one person vote for? That is the question.

>>14350594
What the fuck are you doing, you amateur? Just use Google Forms and let people come up with their titles. These entries are automatically added to a spreadsheet and all you have to so is count them (with the help of ctrl+f) and them have someome do the chart. That's what I did. Don't do this gay shit you're proposing.

>>14350957
1, for one book. Keeping it simple.

>>14350965
Last time we used 5 votes per person. 10 would be too many and 1-3 would be too few. Anyway, in hindsight, we should've limited the entry to only fiction, sacred texts, epics, plays and poetry. Philosophy and non-fiction belongs to a different conversation.

>>14350978
It's doomed to fail if you only have 1 book per person, I'm telling you.

>>14349877
give me your best books

>>14350984
>>14350992
Alright 5 it is

>>14347853
>1. Jordan Peterson
>2. Kapital
>3. Guenon
>4. Harry Potter
>5. Richard Dawkins
I don't imagine it would be much better than this.

>>14351100
You can see what we voted for last year

>>14347639
We should not have it this year. The board is ruined but we had a good run, didn't we?

>>14351474
This.

to what end? no one here reads anymore
let /lit/ have a quiet death

>>14351589
I'm not crying, you're crying

>>14351008
try Blindsight

>>14351022
>>14350984
No. Discriminación against Philosophical makes no fucking sense

>>14350834
past charts have asked for a top 5 from each person, not just one
