Ah okay, I didn't catch the randomness this morning as I was trying to run out the door. 🤪 Hopefully I didn't send anyone down the wrong path.

Yes, we will need the banked books regardless, so everything that fits Standard Rules, add it to the spreadsheet (or posted here to be added to the spreadsheet).

Beth, the only reason I was okay with messages is because I have to grant access and I know tomorrow is another essentially unavailable day for me, so I was taking that work on the chin. I didn't want to miss anything because GR hides notifications or I just flat out miss it. But I'm very open (and would encourage) everyone to post book completions here since yes, any captain can assist. :)

Oh, is our task randomized? I went back to the spreadsheet since I thought if the entire team had to read for a task, I couldn't fathom how Sci-fi finished so fast lol. Trying to learn y'all, sorry!

I really hope I'm entering my book data correctly into the spreadsheet. I think so (pending completion date since it isn't finished yet). I don't want to make the toys angry...

Okay everyone on Historical Holdings, it's really basic, but it gets the job done. Please request access, and I'll grant as I'm able; one more day of friend visiting, so everything else is taking a hit lol. If I don't get to you fast enough, you're welcome to post in the thread (or message me since I'll be sure to see it) and I'll volunteer for transferring over to the spreadsheet. Just be patient with me please! :) That isn't intended as a long-term solution, since I have a vacation coming up and will be unavailable again for a few days, so if anyone can't cope with the spreadsheet (completely fine, no judgement), then it may work best to post in the thread for someone else to add in.

Beth, I think we only have to fulfil one task to buy the property, and it can be done by anyone? At least that's how I'm understanding it from the How To that Ashley posted. ^

I'm working on a team spreadsheet to house info that our team can log into, and then captains can cut/paste over to the game spreadsheet as needed. That was suggested on our other thread, and tbh that sounds amazing!!

Since the spreadsheet is view only, I think we'd have to post books in here, and then captains add to the SS?

Beth, I rolled the 9 and posted our turn start. So that was me!! But there are the task options for each property, so I wasn't sure how that worked and I didn't have time to look it up. Legit shouldn't be on now lol.

Yay, borrowed!! It still might take me a couple days, but that is doable!

If we're desperate, I think my current cozy works for "ends where it began" since those have been starting at the Manor house the MC works at and has always ended there before lol. But I don't think anyone wants to wait two days for me.

Yeah, books that aren't for tasks go in our banked books. I hope someone can pick up a task. Legit, I am not getting much reading done today or tomorrow. Visitors cramp my style lol.

I think we only have to complete one task and spend the money, but someone should probably confirm that lol...?

Team,

The tasks for this property are:
"Read a book with the word ""MEMORY"" in the text"
"Read a book with all the letters in ""SOLITUDE"" somewhere in the title (any order)"
Read a book set in Colombia
Read a book by an author from South or Central America
Read a book with two generations with the same name
"Read a book with a character named ""Gabriel"""
Read a book published before 1967
Read a book with a BUTTERFLY on the cover
Read a book with a family tree or genealogy at the beginning.
Read a book that ends where it began
Read a book with at least one Spanish word in the text
"Read a book with the words ""ONE HUNDRED"" in the text"

I need to get off for an all day event, so someone needs to tap in here, but our roll is posted and timer is started.

Team Historical Holdings
Starting Bank Account Balance: $1500.00
Landed on: A Hundred Years of Solitude
Timestamp: 9/1/2025 10:30:30

Plan: buy the property

Thanks Ashley!

Team, we're on A Hundred Years of Solitude. I assume we want to buy it... Not sure anyone else is around.

Yes.

Ashley, I don't have edit access on the spreadsheet. I sent you a note yesterday
:/

I'm not on much today, but I'll see if I can figure out how to spin. I haven't had a chance to review the game play this weekend. 🙃

Awesome! Can someone post our decision (or however that works)? I won't be on much today.

Beth, you cool with Bold Bets?

What do you two think? I'm leaning towards Bold Bet only because no glitches, but not having flexibility in prompts may be fatal.
