Ahh, that I do not know. Good question. I will let Tien weigh in on that one.

well, that is another option, but you are right, those get lost very quickly!

So -- I am so far behind the times. I didn't even realize that you could notify a person any other way than by PM, so when I said notification I meant PM, lol. I have updated the post above to include that the notification will be by PM.

Thanks Dee! You know that you keep me honest!

as I understand it, if it is not in a chain yet, but IS a listed book, then you list in under listed books.

Amy - In answer to your question, we have come up with an ammendment to the rules. Below is the addtion:

Property Owners have 48 hours to pick books for other players who have landed on their property and made a request in the appropriate thread. . Failure to do so would require that your property be repossessed.

If you find that you are going to be gone for a longer time period than 48 hours you could do one of two things:

a. pick another player to "property sit" for you (notify them by GR PM) and they can pick books for players who land on your property.

b. Notify the librarians by GR PM and we will pick for players in your absence.

If you do not do one of the two options above, the first time that a submitted request goes unanswered for more the 48 hours, a librarian will pick for that turn. At that time, your property will be repossessed and requests will go back to being handled in the general book request thread. The property will also be put up for re-sale.

I hope that sounds clear enough. Let me know if you have questions.
