This place is about freedom that a translator wishes. So here's the thing, I don’t care what format you use on MY and YOUR translations. I trusted you with this from the beginning and I intend to leave it all up to you. But if another translator wishes to translate this in another format then don't touch his translations lest he allows you to edit (of course the wordings, typos and grammars you can touch since you’re an 'editor' lolz) BUT about the format. You can suggest him but don’t push too far. Absolutely not allowed Nyaa~

Is this a sneaky way of telling me to register for every volume so that we never get new translators again?

Okay, but... are you going to tell me what the formal announcement is about first?

That's up to Project Manager/Supervisor approval.

In a completed unrelated matter, hey lifeman, how would you like to support my power play to usurp TheCatWalk as Project Manager? There might be a shiny Illustration Editor title in it for you! 8)

aint gonna happen nayahahaha~
2 reasons -
1. i am a POWER HUNGRY cat. as long as i started it, that title is MINE MINE NYANAYANYANYA NINE!!!the glory! the power! ALL MINE!!!
2. i might return in the future and kls is the acting manager, put that in a bracket beside ur name in the wiki. 'if' i return far in the distant futuuuuuuuuuuuu------ure, it'll be a hassle to change the name. and i talked this over with simon. KLS does a better administrative job for a manager than me in BT by leaps and bounds but me = more connections blah blah blah basically me being manager makes it easier for a lot of people and i am a pacifist (unless it comes to main heroines)...well, i might return..idk...all depends on my whims...King Cat = Manager Cat nyahaha ~(=3=)~
MAIN HEROINES FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Ha! If I'm acting manager, I'll have my name in that part of the staff listing, not an afternote attached to my translator credit. Enjoy third billing as it reflects your true level of influence and/or the fact that your name comes after mine in alphabetical order!

As my first act as official acting manager, I'll put lifeman120 in the editors list. Two volumes after he started deserving to be there.

yea yea~ whatever :lol:
i dont mind. remember why you got hooked to this tl in the first place. and i am not part of the administrative staff. i am a translator. and i've been directly and inderectly related to BT sice 2007-08 (from 2011 directly). so yea, i dont mind at all. not having through and through influence isnt a problem either. I will just tl and post for the readers to enjoy.
so now, here;s a simple command that should make both yours and my life a lot easier. it will most probably also prevent future chaos.

I want you to create a project guideline. How this project should be translated. How the format should be. If the newer translators want to join, then they HAVE to read that and follow that. If they cannot, then hell they can just host their own works in a different place. Not in the wiki project that 'I' created ~(=3=)~

the guidelines should include the issues that we have discussed over, the issues that caused even bigger issues, and the basics of Rakudai tirms.

I want your opinions on the way the novel should be handled. About the furigana, the excessive stuff (kenjitsu and whatnot :? ), localization and other things that you like or dislike. make a nice list, be it short or long. of things that you want to do about this. (dont be TOOOOO nit-picky though).

Send it to me, i'll read it and throw in my own suggestions. 'If' I like it then i'll give the green light. namely this smiley -> ( :mrgreen: )
and then, post it in a nice big place where everyone can see them. I'll also link them in the wiki page.

-----(if this doesnt make you happy then i do not know what will)

all the stuff about Kouen is in the past. if he no longer wants in then who are we to stop him? forget about all that and concentrate on what you want to do for now but do not, i repeat, DO NOT turn future events and problems, issues that needs solutions into a clash where none of the parties come to an agreement. we dont need a silent war here.
I'm guessing the guidelines will help in that cause. Because it's like implementing rules (which is against BT policy but i'll just shoot through it again ~(=3=)~ ). if anyone interested can't obey them then he should start another 'Rakudai' project and host his stuff there.

I have been in fact assembling the information you ask for as part of my proofreading of volume one (which means unfortunately I won't have any kind of completed document for you until that's done). As well, the highly context-dependent nature of project guidelines will mean that any document I produce describing it will have to be a living document, which we will update regularly as we translate new things and see how each guideline affects the reading (and argue over the particulars, unless everyone decides to just go along with everything I say, which is neither likely nor very desirable).

Here's a preview: the project glossary I've collected up to volume one chapter one, part three.

Thanks for all your hard work translators and editors.

So what is the panorama? xD
KLS you won't translate Vol. 3 'til you finish proofreading Vol. 1 and 2, right?

I will translate the rest of volume three chapter one so that we're not left hanging on that, then finish proofreading volume one, then finish translating volume three.

There's no way we can fit that into little squares, so remove them.
