I'm actually surprised that so many people voted. I expected this to be an unpopular one.
This week's poll is rather unusual, as I would never have come up with it myself, so miskatsura did it for me. I didn't even realize that there's this many options for hair length. The order is from shortest to longest.

Of those who actually would play, they prefer Moon over Sun. I wonder why...
No one suggested this, but hey, the games just came out! The last versions I played was Gold and Fire Red, so I'm really behind in all this... (Still need to finish Fire Emblem: Fates too)

Live out that RPG life. Gotta get a healer, a wizard, a rogue, and a tank.
This weeks non-so-serious poll was suggested by seanna2k. The options aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, so just choose the one you like the most (whether it's the funniest or the one you'd most likely do).

Turns out most people don't like those bulk releases
A member of ours, mattfabb, has been doing research on manga translations. You can see some of his past work here. He has created a new video and is looking for feedback. The video is here:
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/working-with-translation/1/steps/128935
Specifically, he is fielding these questions:
- Have I been truthful?
- Have I represented the community fairly?
- Should I do things differently if I ever get to do something similar in the future?
Feel free to give other feedback too. You can do so by commenting in this thread or by emailing him at mattfabb[at]hotmail.com
We just had a 5 hour downtime. Still investigating the cause.

This week's poll comes from F_J. Some groups release right when they're finished with the chapter, especially those speed scanners. Others have a fairly regular schedule they keep, although it might not be for the series you want them to release... And others only release once or twice a month and dump like 8 chapters of 5 different series on you. Do you have a preference?
