WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

Hi! I'm Luna and today I come here to talk to you as one of BanPa's managers!

When I joined we had a well oiled staff machine but over time, life got in the way and people had to leave, which makes pulling the site together a bit hard as I'm sure some of you have noticed.

Our current team is wonderful and we're doing our very best every day to make sure our website is up and updated but there are sadly some things that even I and our other manager Nija cannot do without higher assistance like fixing the card sorter or things that involve coding.

What we can do, with your help, is bring back Live2Ds. As many of you have noticed, it hasn't been updated in a long time and no one in our current team knows how to do it. So, if you know how to work with live2d models, .bytes and .json files and want to help our team and website, please do send me a message!

(While I’m not an expert (and that’s why we’re asking for help), I don’t think we’re looking for a rigger per se? When opening the folder belonging to the model I find several .bytes and .json files. So I don’t think we actually need someone to physically rig them, more like. find and add the files we need properly! But if you think you can help, hit me up and we can chat!)

It's a huge task, I'm not gonna lie, it hasn't been updated in around 2 years which means we have 2 years worth of cards to upload, but we'd like to get back to what we used to be!

Hello Banpa users! It's 1/2 of the managers, Moyu! Coming back from the grave to give some updates that have been happening with a very impromptu post (please excuse any errors I am writing this on the spot ;;)

First of all, with the new stream revealing the band myGO will be in the game in Fall this year, we have added the new girls into the character list! Currently they're using some placeholder images so we hope everyone will look forward to when they're in the game where we'll have some chibis and icons to use for the site ^_^

I would also like to take some time to talk about the state of the site as is. First matter regarding this is I would like to thank the staff here for working hard to update what used to be a very outdated chibi list. It was a lot of hard work on their part and I was unable to help with it as I was busy in university with exams at the time so any thanks should be directed to them for adding so, so many chibis.

While we could add the chibis, one thing we have been unable to add for a long while is the live2d costumes. We know the costume list is really, really outdated. But unfortunately, the team as we are right now cannot add new live2d costumes. "Why is this?" might be a question some might have. The main reason is that we just do not know how to do this as it isn't as simple as finding the live2d files and uploading them. We have tried asking around our current staff for help and haven't been able to actually find out how to do it and are assuming a certain programme would have to be used to handle the files. If we do eventually find out a way to add the many live2d costumes missing from our list here, I am sure me and the others in the team will try our hardest to update the costumes to the best of our ability. I do hope we can get there some day but please understand we can not do much about it right now...

The last thing on the general topic of site maintaining that I want to talk about is that I want to assure everyone that we are currently trying our best to maintain and update what we can on our database. This includes potentially uploading newer 1koma and 4koma, updating older cards, gacha, etc. to their official worldwide server names (as many currently use fan translations) as well as server availability, and updating card stats when needed. Again, I would appreciate understanding from others as we are a small-ish team and it will take time for some of these to be dealt with due to staff availability. There are also things we would like to add/need to change such as giving myGO on our characters list a header of their band and altering 5 star cards levels but these cannot solely be done by our main staff team. There's a lot for us to do and a lot we need to ask others in order for things to be done so I would appreciate if everyone could keep this in mind when seeing things may not be correct. And if there is something you think should be corrected, feel free to message me or drop a disqus message below this post.

Following on from that, I feel some users might have questions for me or the staff team in general. For me personally, the easiest way for me to see these is through messages to myself or dropping a comment below this post so please feel free to do so. We also have our feedback form itself but I do not have access to see any submitted responses and have to ask the form's maker for me to see them, so please keep that in mind.

If anyone has taken the time to read all of this, thank you for reading it. I have really wanted to write something for a while but personal life and studies have been a bigger priority for me. I would also like to say that we are currently planning a summer-themed website event! Following our Christmas event, this one will be the second one fully planned by our current management and staff team in place so please look forward to it when it happens ^_^

That's all from me. See everyone around here some other time ^_^

Community Event Announcement: Packing Our Bags!

Hello BandoriPartiers! It's the last month of summer and what better time than now is there to pack a suitcase for a vacation?

This summer event will be a special event spanning both our website and Twitter with two different ways to participate!

Will you help your favourite Bandori girl be summer ready by packing a suitcase for them?

Or will you help our mascot, Kanae, decorate her own suitcase with fun stickers? The choice is yours!

Submissions are due by [utcdate=2023-09-01T19:00:00][/utcdate] which is in [countdown=2023-09-01T19:00:00][/countdown]

How Do I Participate?

To enter on our website, you must make a new activity post with either and image showing the holiday suitcase you have packer or a design for a sticker that you have made. Be as creative as you want with your entries! It's entirely up to you whether you want to pack conventional items or more fun ones for the girls! Will the stickers you design be based on real countries or different things within the world of Bandori? The choice is up to you! If you're unsure whether something will be allowed or have other questions, leave a comment under this post and we will reply ASAP!

• For Bandori.party posts that contain a packed suitcase, use the tag, #Packing Our Bags Suitcase 🧳

Additional Info and Rules

• Make sure your submissions are appropriate and follow our website's post guidelines (This also applies to Twitter entries which must also be appropriate.)
• You can enter both a suitcase and a sticker in the same post as long as you use the event tags as needed
• Objects for suitcase entries can either be drawn or use images from online. If you do the latter, make sure to link back to the creators of any items if they are from small businesses or the like! (an example of this can be found in the post for a previous Bandori Party event!)
• One entry for each category will be permitted for every entrant
• If you make the same entry post on both Bandori.party and Twitter, your entry will only be counted once

Prizes and Judging

All participants on the website will receive a special badge for entering! The badge will include the art included at the top of this post which was drawn by Ahirukukiii on Twitter!

There will be prizes for both categories of entries (suitcases and stickers) and a judging panel will be used to choose a winning entry for both! We will be judging based on creativity for both categories.

The winning participant in each category will have a chance to receive a physical merch prize (or a digital prize if preferred)! Examples of physical merch are shown below:

Along with this, we have stretch goals for both categories. If we get a total of 10 entries (separate for each category), a randomly selected participant in each category will have the chance to win a digital prize! This can be a graphic edit or a special commission from one of our community artists!

For an extra special stretch goal, 30 participants (separate for each category) will give a randomly selected participant in each category a chance to win a physical prize (or digital prize if preferred)!

To sum it up, there is a chance for a maximum of 6 possible winners in this summer event!

We hope everyone will have fun with this event and we look forward to seeing sticker designs and suitcase packs for their favourite girls!

To all Bandori.Party members:

This is a very special and important update as to the current status of Bandori.Party. As things are shifting around, I find it very valuable to be upfront and honest about what has been going on behind the scenes, and to get everyone involved into making us better. This post is going to be long, but it is coming from the bottom of my heart and I encourage every member, whether active, inactive or previous member to read this.

Before we get into the deep stuff, here’s a quick introduction to the new managers of the site:

Moyu:

“Hiya I'm Moyu! Some people might have seen me around the site in the past as a regular user and as a mod in the last year. However, I'm happy to say I'm one of the new managers for Bandori.Party! I hope to be a reliable figure here but also to maintain the more casual disposition I have showed from before joining the staff team. I look forward to trying to help this site and helping anyone that needs it!”

Nyx:

“Hiya! I’m nyx and I’ve been a staff member of Bandori.Party since 2020. I’m happy to finally take part in reuniting the members of Bandori.Party and I hope to get to know everyone in our community! I’m excited to see what changes and new things unfold for us.“

Now, into the news:

Bandori.Party has gone a long time without any real force of proper management, guidance, or any sort of functions other than what felt like automation. After the previous manager stepped down, there was no one really to take on the weight of carrying such a project, as it seemed like Bandori.Party had somewhat developed a reputation for having no real strong backbone.

However, after months of basically silence, we’re finally able to come back with a promise of change and refreshment to the Bandori.Party community.

Bandori.Party has finally found two new managers- Moyu and I have been working together and working very hard to revive Bandori.Party to the community it once was and also as a new, refreshing start. Being left with basically straws to grasp, it was very hard to gain our footing as we had to learn a lot of different aspects to the website as well as put together a basically entire new staff team by ourselves, which, to be fair and honest, hasn’t really been working out. This is why we figured it’d be best to announce ourselves and come forward with promises of change to instill your hope and your trust in the community.

Things that are going to be coming this following week:

• A feedback form to better understand the current state of what we all feel towards the site, what problems need to address, what needs to come back, etc, as well as reflection on the previous and current state of the community.

• A questionnaire with questions regarding you, so that we can get to know you and the community as a whole better and provide you with content and events that you would like to see and enjoy.

• A new, updated staff application form that is easy to navigate and read that will inform you of the positions available and seem more approachable.

As a personal anecdote, I have been a staff member of Bandori.Party since 2020 and have seen a lot of problems arise. At the time, I did not have the skills or the time available to commit to such a project. I have recently found myself more motivated and excited and am eager to take on this role. During my first years of college, I have decided to switch to a communications major, which has educated me more than I could ever offer- and naturally I decided to help be one of the managers for Bandori.Party. I have a lot of experience and a lot of hope for the future of Bandori.Party. If you have any questions or concerns at all, please comment below or feel free to message me personally via the site, twitter or discord.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and thank you for your continued support of Bandori.Party.

Nyx

hey everyone! i'm not sure if this has been done before, but i thought i'd post a quick tutorial on Markdown, which is a neat way to quickly style your posts (and it works on bandpa!)

Bold Text

To bold text, use double asterisks:

**This text will be bolded**

Italicized Text

To italicize text, use single asterisks:

*This text will be italicized*

Strikethrough Text

To strikethrough text, use double tildes:

~~This text will be strikethroughed... is that a word?~~

Headers

To create headers, use octothorpes (more commonly known as pound symbols or hashtags 😉)

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5

Make sure to put a space before your text!

Lists

To create a list, just use asterisks or hyphens

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3

- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

Hyperlinks

To hyperlink text, use the following syntax:

normal text normal text [this text will be clickable](your-link-here.com)

Images

To add an image, use the following syntax:

![img](link-to-your-image.jpg)

Of course there's much more you can do, but here are the basics. :) If you really like Markdown and would love to use it to take notes for class or whatever, I'd highly recommend downloading a Markdown editor like Typora!

happy bandpa-ing!
