I accidentally did something goofy with the die roll on post 828, so per JoLene's suggestion, I am just backing out the Treasure Chest deposit from that turn.

Is this challenge extending through December since there is no other challenge starting?

[JoLene, Mistress of the Challenge]

No -- we generally take the month of December "off".

I'm afraid that I need a bit of a break on the scoring front as this one was "challenging" for all (including myself).

Thanks for your hard work with the scoring, I could tell it was a real challenge! This challenge was really great though!

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I really enjoyed the game challenge. We need to do another one soon.

Thanks for putting this all together, JoLene! This was really fun.

[Linda]

I agree that this challenge was great fun, and even though I caused you a lot of trouble Jolene, I want you to know I really appreciated you keeping me in line! Looking forward to the next challenge.

[JoLene, Mistress of the Challenge]

No one was immune to problems with their turns, including me!!!

If we do this one again, I now have a pretty cool spreadsheet that I can share at the beginning of the challenge :-). Next time, I'm trying to figure out if we can actually share boards between 2 or 3 people. The problem would be the commitment level. We had some that posted almost every day, while others were more sporadic.

We will return to a task-based challenge in January and also unveil a year-long challenge for those up for it (but it will be scale-able, so don't be intimated :-)
