i understand the attack and defence points but find the explanation of A winning over B compacted i may just need to read it a few times. I will get back to you if i still cannot understand it then
A's hit is A's attack minus B's defense.B's hit is B's attack minus A's defense.
Whoever hits for more wins that round.
Signed up. Can't wait. This sounds awesome. :)
LOL! Christine, I've been thinking the same thing :-)
I just signed up. This sounds really interesting!
Christine wrote: "when will the team threads go up?"We need to close signups soon then form the groups and make the threads. We're discussing dates :)
I am so excited for this to begin! Can't wait to get started, yay!
I didn't sign up because my schedule the first two weeks of the challenge is insane and I know I won't have time. But if there's a list for replacement players after the first round, I'll be ready and waiting. :D
Hi all. This is my first time posting in this group. I've signed up and can't wait for this to begin :D
Aagh, I can't remember if I already registered !!!!

I just joined the group and this sounds like so much fun! Signed up. :D
Last call for signups. We're closing it out today so we have time to prep the teams.

We're working on teams right now.
Just curious, does the challenge start on August 2nd in a particular time zone or do we just start on August 2nd wherever we may be? I ask because I live in Japan and I would hate to get an unwitting head start. ^^;;

I am for the arena in Capua.I follow Spartacus and do not call anyone my kin who doesn't stand so!
Erm... Any idea when the teams will be announced? It's Friday evening here already, and the games should start on Sunday. I know you mods have a lot to handle with these team challenges and I don't want to pester you. It's just that we're leaving for the summer cottage early tomorrow morning and I will have very limited internet access during a couple of days. I don't want my team to think that I've bailed out because I can't immediately check in.

Please let us know if there's any issues. We'll try to get spreadsheets up soon.

Here you are: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The name listed is the name that people put in the name field for signups. It links to your profile in case there's repeated names.
BTW. If you signed up before the deadline and can't find yourself just come and ask.If you signed up after the deadline we'll assign you once we see if there's anyone who doesn't check in.
Signed up, and mostly clueless ;) But looking forward to the competition!!

Can we start reading at midnight tonight our local time? I'm an insomniac and get a lot of reading done after midnight most nights. :)

Sorry. :)
Checking in here and already posted a post on my team thread.
I'm on team Xena but the thread keeps crashing on the app. I really only use the app so can't keep track of what's happening. Any ideas?

I've tried on my phone and tablet and it just seems to be that thread. I can go into all of the other team threads without any problems. Although I also seem to be unable to access the team spreadsheet to check clues. Maybe once teams are combined I'll be able to participate more.
I'm on the app and not having a problem with the thread. Sometimes if I have a problem with good reads I wi turn off my phone for a little bit. Usually that works.

Which Roman Gladiator Are You?
You are a Rudiarius.
You have won your freedom and have been presented with a wooden sword, yet you choose to remain a gladiator, though sometimes you will become a trainer or referee. The public loves you and you can be counted on to please the crowd.
