Yep.

Can I jus say I like this towers a lot?

I even shed a few tears when reading the minis and everything.

You do realize I was once on the winning spot, of the TEN tower challenges, right?

Although I came very close with towers III, in book points we had the higher count... but the buddy read points gave the victory to thundercats... that and the initial books of 5 pages left on the book.

living and learning, I guess.

Ahem... I was one of them :P

Yey, the teams are up. Have you notice you have not one, not two, but three former mods in our team?

And since our captain just asked so nicely, I'm going to put both meal prep and playing hairdresser on hold and play with spreadsheets

Eni has been trying to read for Uno the while day and I keep pestering her, so she will be happy I have something else to do instead. Lol

Besides, RL also happens, and sometimes we have to cover for someone and vice-versa. Nothing wrong in my book.

Nope. I do that sometimes because I tend to binge read series, and some have shorter novellas that can't be used.

I don't think any of the mods played Cutthroat... the premise was

"The mods are out for blood"

No idea who the evil mind was behind that promo line(yep, wrote that with a straight face and everything), but the challenge idea was all Kelly's. Without her coding skills it wouldn't be possible anyway.

Like Towers I or Towers II? Or worse, Cutthroat Challenge?

You know, I thought the same thing... and then I was told that it was E's turn to play with you. Can't remember what the justification for Karen being there was. I just assumed they both loved to play with me and were missing me lots.

*giggles*

Aha! I knew I had played in Lexi sometimes... it was the wheels that shall not be named, since they clearly confused the two sisters and Sammy ended up being on Eni's team.

I got to play with Judith and Lexi instead. it was the only reason I behaved, otherwise I would throw the mother of all hissy fits. Because they not only took away my Sammy, they also stole Claire from me. I was a bit upset with it.

a itsy bitsy tiny bit. And my memory is legendary, so I will remember that for a long long time...

Melindam wrote: "But never with you, Sonia. ;)"

That needs to be fixed!!!

I already had to fight for the privilege to be on her team with E, and now with Eni, and I'm pretty sure one of these days Mel will join the We want Sammy on our team group.

Uhmmm, Maybe we should all partner up? *giggles* Eni and I are not heavy hitters when it comes to books, so, I think it is a kind of balanced deal... Now, on the troublemaker scale... we better not look at that.

I saw the remake. It's with the crazy girl from The Craft. Plus I had a thing for Val Kilmer.

I never promise to be good. But people always assume I will not.

*confused*

Me too. And this time, actually posting, so the notifications for the thread appear on my email in case work gets wild again.

Lexi wrote: "I but I think Jenny and I were mostly new so no one knew better yet."

Truer words never been spoken.

I think that Jenny and Judith together are like a tsunami that sweeps over any obstacle.

Add a Sammy or a Lexi, or worse, both, and the world ceases to exist.

And now, I regret even more not having done that when I had the chance! But noooooo, I had to be responsible and keep teams balanced numbers wise... LOL

Sammy wrote: "Sonia wrote: "One year my team even won!!!"

And they won't let us all be on a team together ever since, lol"

It's so unfair. Just because we were hoarding all of the captains, or winning by a landslide, or having all of the troublemakers together... meh

I participated last year, but I'm not remembering exactly how the page numbers fit in. I vaguely remember feeling guilt..."

Hey Denise, reading a 600 page book or 2X300 page books give us same amount of points.

It hasn't been always like that, but I tend to go on the same range, and I always participate. In the past I have been on the bottom half, in the middle, and on the top 5 - One year my team even won!!! - BUT, no matter the place we ended up in, I ALWAYS HAVE FUN!!!

And if there is a challenge where you can read whatever your heart dictates, it's Tower Teams.
