Jenne- working on - can I claim blond hair since his hair was blond for the first half of the book?

[Jenne]

For our final calculations do task books count for 10 points each if we haven't finished the exact 10 needed or are they worth a big ole fat zero, zilch, nada...shoulda planned better with your team....creeper!

Mahogany (color) - Wikipedia: is a reddish brown color

I think for hair purposes it would be ok to call it red.

Jenne - Have a question would you accept Wonderland as a team name for points since we are accepting Alice in Wonderland for retellings? Just thought I would check ~ thanks!

[~Melissa~]

BTW - doesn't refer to that book - I read Insanity (Mad in Wonderland)

[Jenne]

No sorry in order to qualify for TNB it has to be one of the team's names so wonderland won't work :(

That's what I thought but figure did check to be sure - thanks

A few things:
The game is officially over as of about 9 hours ago. Players still have today though to turn in anything they finished yesterday or before.

I want to thank everyone for playing! And for being patient with us while we worked the bugs out. There's always a learning curve when undertaking a new team challenge. Please don't hesitate to let us know what you liked/disliked, improvement ideas etc in the feedback thread.

Captains there's no rush to turn in your final points. Just please do so tomorrow if you can. I'd like to do a stat kind of thing too. If you've kept your spreadsheet to where you can tell how many retelling points, TN points, AI points, PP, & Mini points please provide that in your final finished task post. If you didn't keep track of it like that, it's ok I'll try to figure it out. Also if each team could post which player read the most retellings that would be awesome. I'd like to see who read the most retellings for the duration of the game.

Again thanks for playing and thanks to my fellow mods for all of their help! Everyone has been awesome :)

Instead of Jenne, Beach Bound you're Jenne Superwoman. This was a huge task and a huge challenge. You did excellent.

[Jenne]

Thanks y'all! Unfortunately I never was beach bound this year :(

[PepperP0t]

there wasn't one beach in those fairy tales. nobody got washed out to sea or anything?

[~Melissa~]

Thanks for a great team challenge, Jenne!

[Jackie]

Thanks for a great challenge, Jenne! It was very creative and fun. You did an amazing job!

[Jenne]

Plenty of books with beaches but not the real deal :(
We usually try to make it down once a summer but just couldn't break free from work this year.

[Jenne]

I'll probably announce the winner Friday. It'll be either red riding hood or Peter Pan. I'm gonna wait a minute to total everything out so any last minute posts have a chance to come in today.

[Jenne]

Peter Pan has placed first! Congrats Team Peter Pan!

Red Riding Hood has placed second.

I still need 2 teams final points before announcing third place.
