Frequently Asked Questions

Important: The main site for the challenge list generator will be unavailable for an hour daily
If you are trying to sign-up and the challenge list generator link doesn't work (returns an error page) please try the alternate site or wait a couple of hours for it to be fixed. These errors tend to be related to the hosting site. You can mention the error here so we learn about it. If you don't want to wait you can either mention (@ ) here or send a message either to me or to @SheyCroix (they will answer faster). Just mention the error and that you want the sign-up form. You will still need to manually create your challenge list. Both sites are linked in the "Signing Up" section of the "How to Play".

Google Sheets Spreadsheet (Track Progress)
Hello!
I’m @i_yuuko-chan! As this year challenge the listing came a little bit different, and hopefully simpler, I came up with something just to help those busy souls that cannot deal with the dread work of creating their own spreadsheet to track the progress of their challenges, but need one nevertheless.

I had 02 things in mind while creating it: help you track your progress and generate a BBCode automatically. (Nothing sophisticated like what Conde_Mohr made for us last year, sorry!) So, it’s very simple and all, but I hope it helps you not to worry with such works.

That said…

Here is the link.

The spreadsheet contains 3 tabs: “Basic Instructions”, “MAL2018_Anime” and “MAL2018_Manga”. Click on the link provided and create a copy by following these steps [ File > Make a copy ].
Using an external site to find series on MAL
** The site in the following example is not working currently; example will be removed soon if the site stays down.

At least I'll be the first somewhere. Hopefully...

I hope you have fun with the challenge.

PS: I'm not giving out recs for #102 if not asked directly. Any mention for #102 that also mentions 2 or more challenge mods that are not me will get Oniisama e... as a rec if they get me online on time (unless they already watched it), and I'll try to talk to the others so that they don't rec them anything else.

I'm ok with you asking a couple of us, but connecting and getting 17 mentions, most of which tag 6 people, only because you want to get a faster answer, is annoying and unfair to those who don't do that.

I think you haven't searched for that long..... try a bit more with unpopular series, those related to stuff already watched or old series

omegakiller said:

the explanation says "the most recommended title that you haven't watched". So yes, only the first one (most recommended) not watched already

TahZin said:

Only those mentioned. You can try a personal restriction that limits to certain types. The TV one wasn't added this year because some items are too hard for it
