Thank you!

There are a few SS floating around among the different teams that I'm sure you could borrow if you want to go that route. If you use a SS, there are no requirements to post completions here in your team thread. You can just link to the SS in the Check-In Thread.

Alaina, if you can head over to Team 15, that would be great!

I'm going to send Alaina your way then. Hopefully, she'll be here shortly!

Requested.

🕹 🎮 👾 Week 22: June 2, 2025 ~ Halo 👾 🎮 🕹





Halo is a military science fiction media franchise, originally created and developed by Bungie and currently managed and developed by 343 Industries, part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios. The series launched in 2001 with the first-person shooter video game Halo: Combat Evolved and its tie-in novel, The Fall of Reach. The latest main game, Halo Infinite, was released in late 2021 as a free to play beta, and then had the campaign release later that year.


Combat Evolved started life as a real-time strategy game, then became a third-person shooter, and finally a first-person shooter releasing as an exclusive on Microsoft's new Xbox video game console after Bungie was acquired by the company. Bungie regained its independence in 2007, releasing additional Halo games through 2010. Microsoft established 343 Industries to direct the franchise going forward, and has produced games itself and in partnership with other studios.


Combat Evolved was a critical and commercial success, serving as the Xbox's "killer app" and cementing Microsoft as a major player in the video game console space. Its sequels expanded the franchise's commercial and critical success, and have sold more than 81 million copies worldwide. With more than $6 billion in franchise grosses, Halo is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time, spanning novels, graphic novels, comic books, short films, animated films, feature films, and other licensed products.


The Halo franchise includes various types of merchandise and adaptations outside of the video games. This includes bestselling novels, graphic novels, and other licensed products, from action figures to a packaging tie-in with Mountain Dew. Numerous action figures and vehicles based on Halo have been produced. Joyride Studios created Halo and Halo 2 action figures, while Halo 3 poseable and collectible action figures, aimed at collectors, were produced by McFarlane Toys and became some of the top-selling action figures of 2007 and 2008. MEGA Bloks partnered with Microsoft to produce Halo Wars-themed toys.


Complete ONE of the following:

🕹 Read a book with an MPG of SCI-FI / SCIENCE FICTION.
🕹 Read a book where the MC's first initial is NOT found in MICROSOFT.
🕹 Read a book with a one-word title.
🕹 Read a book that has its own line of merchandise, like t-shirts, mugs, etc.

OK, it's been well over 48 hours since I messaged Almeta, plus I sent a second one as well.


The only back-up player I have reads 2 books per week, which would put you lower than the other teams.


The only other option I have is for me to join you instead with the 5 books per week Almeta signed up for.


Let me know which you would prefer. You won't hurt my feelings either way. I just didn't know how competitive you wanted to be, or if this is just more for fun.

No, as long as all the information is on your SS. You can just link to the SS in the Check-In thread and I'll be able to see everything. I don't have access to your SS, though, so I can't see it...

No, you won't have to track anything in your team thread, unless you want to. This includes individual completion posts, since your information would be on the SS.

REMEMBER:


📚 You may begin your spell-outs on June 1, 2025.

Is this right -- if we use a spreadsheet ..."


If your team uses a SS, you can just link to it in the Check-In Thread and you won't have to track anything in your team thread, unless you want to.
