Re: Poll

[chardmonster]

I have an idea.

Just fucking pick a book yourself.

Trying to involve absofuckinglutely everyone in your book club's book decision is turning out to be a clusterfuck and will always be a clusterfuck. This is yours. You've gotten feedback and seen what's popular. So just pick.

You had a great poll! And someone was angry because an anonymous dot showed up on a map? So you scrapped those results and picked a new poll that fewer people are seeing?

You're stretching this out far enough that I guarantee a lot of people have lost interest. Don't do this next month.

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

I can hear you rolling your eyes but you're making me roll my eyes more.

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

On one hand, I agree. On the other? You're being pretty harsh here.

Re: Poll

[chardmonster]

Harsh gets heard, anon.

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Sometimes. It really depends on the person. There are a lot of people out there who respond badly to harsh.

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

This. Heard, maybe, but that doesn't mean heeded.

Re: Poll

[the_missing_y]

I dunno. I can understand why people might be upset by a poll that knows (more or less) where you live. I've had had second thoughts about submitting to that poll if I'd known. Maybe paranoia, but, you know, you're own safety and comfort is important.

Won't be picking a book myself, tho. I have little confidence in my taste. This way I only need to have confidence in the majority's taste (and so far it's panning out. I am quite excited to read any of the top runners this month, I assume I'm not the only one.)

Yeah, I've fucked this month up quite badly, but fuck it, by Friday we'll have a book and we can get on to the fun stuff. The people who've lost interest will hopefully have renewed interest by Friday when we have a pick, you know? I mean that at this stage, people can only have lost interest in the (badly handled) selection process, any one who just want's me to shut up and pick a book will find them selves in that exact situation come Friday.

But yeah, the plan for next months selection: 3 day's of recommendation's 4 day's of the poll, properly labelled and ready, book picked, book read, discuss. fun had by all.

This is just silly, dude. Your taste is your taste! And it's your book club!

But yeah, the plan for next months selection: 3 day's of recommendation's 4 day's of the poll, properly labelled and ready, book picked, book read, discuss. fun had by all.

This sounds good! Suggestion, though: start the new book recommendations the day people are supposed to be finished with the previous book. This will make sure the invested people are still around.

Re: Poll

[the_missing_y]

I'm comfortable with my tastes as they relate to me, but it is not My Bookclub. My Bookclub, has only me as a member and would be... well fascinating, frankly, but not terribly diverse and probably not very fun for everyone else here. It's the FS book, it needs to be suitable and fun (to some degree) for everyone, and hopefully once we get past this particular quagmire it will be.

That's the plan. Book will be picked on Friday giving people a bot of time to find the book, people start reading sometime near 1st of may, people stop reading and have a proper discussion sometime near end of may (dates to follow) where upon the new rec thread will be added and ready for input. First month

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

I totally agree with Chard, actually. I was pretty psyched for this, but if it's taking us this long to pick one fucking book, I'm out.

Re: Poll

[the_missing_y]

Sorry. What would you recommend to steam-line it while still giving a significant number of people a chance to rec/vote?

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

Waaaaaait wait wait wait wait. Are you telling me the poll that was posted Monday was geo-located/IP tagged? Because there were no warnings that I saw to that effect; I certainly would not have been upset or ragequit, or anything, but yeah, I wouldn't have voted in the poll.

(This is FS' resident Paranoia!Anon who worries about the IP logging every time it is on BTW.)

Re: Poll

[(Anonymous)]

Chard may be harsh (I don't think so), but she has a point; generally the moderator of RL book clubs gets to pick whatever said book club will be reading. Since there are enough people on FS who will drop in/out based on the selection/month/participation, it would move along a lot more efficiently, if you just pick one book a month (albeit from suggestions posted in the thread), then you might get a different set of participants every month, which can only be a good thing.
