You're not the only one crazy because of Minesweeper right now (I will concede that you're crazier than me, having to tally those points, whereas all I have to do is read).
I will go through your messages as soon as I can, I'm totalling the minesweeper challenge first ☺
Here are the scores for people who have already messaged me. If your name is not on here and you've already received a reply from me, please let me know ☺

And oh look, once again, someone else is copying our challenges! To the point where they've cut and pasted last years Non-Reading challenge, and passed it off as their own!
Can you spot the difference? Ah yes, our posts were a year ago, and her's were last month.

O.o I know you hate the copying. But imitation is the sincerest form of flattery supposedly. >.< I guess it just goes to show how good you and Abbie are the others want to copy you. Although they should obviously try and change it up a bit more.

Lol. For some reason the elephant thing made me laugh. :)

She's still a member.
Those elephants were tricky to find!

Usually if someone wants to recreate something from another group, they just message a mod, ask if it's okay, and then when they create the thread they say where they got the idea from. So for instance, we borrowed the 'Reading Sprints' idea from Jacquelyn at 'Crazy for young Adult books' - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
and she borrowed the 'wanted: reading buddies (ARCs)' from us - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
All we ask is for a little credit. That's all.

That's completely understandable and it was rude of this person to not at least credit much less ask. -.-
Well, one things is to adapt an idea, but she is using what Sarah and Abbie put together word for word, and that's not nice at all!
I see that all the time and groups them giving credit to other groups for ideas, this challenge is crazy, I just woke up and people already have found things, LOL! I might just stick with all the reading challenges ;-)
I understand that was rude of me and I have mentioned that I was sorry. I have given them their full credit. This will not happen again and if I think to use someone else's challenge or anything i will be sure to ask and credit. Once again I am sorry. I understand if Sarah or Abbie decides to take me out of the MMC challenge this year or even their group. I wouldn't want that to happen, but I will accept the consequences for my actions. Sorry guys.
Oh dear, she's on my team this month for the hangman challenge... I'm sorry this keeps happening to you Sarah and Abbie, most of us know and respect how much work you put into creating these challenges. Hope this doesn't make you guys feel discouraged!

Thanks for apologising and adding the credit Shantavia. You're free to continue on in the challenge ☺

Thanks so much Sarah. And again I'm so sorry

I just want to say a very, very sincere thank you to Abbie and Sarah for everything they do for this group. I don't know about everyone else, but this is the only group I use now and I met most of my GR friends through i too. We all really appreciate your hard work girls, and it really means a lot to us! Keep up the good work, best of luck for this crazy, crazy month and I hope that this problem can be resolved. <3 :)
Yep only group I use and met so many great people here. Sarah & Abbie make the world go round, literally.
@Rachael Ha ha, I'd have to agree with you there! I'd be lost without this group. It got me into book blogging too, and I don't even want to know where I'd be without that!
This is definitely one of my favorite groups! And it is because of them! They give us so much of their time and energy! I truly appreciate it!

The only thing to bear in mind is that it's 2 points for a YA cover with a surfboard, and 1 point for a non-ya cover ☺

Guys, Goodreads say that I can't send any more messages today as apparently I've reached their limit. Might be best to message Abbie if you need to get answers to us ☺
Apparently, I've now discovered that it's only people who I haven't got added as a friend that it won't let me message, so if anybody hasn't got me added as a friend I won't be able to message you back!
No, they should all say 48 hours, but I copied the original information from last years challenge, and last year it was only 24 hours (which ended up getting pushed to 48 or even 72 hours anyway) ☺
It's just to try and help people get maximum points. Not everybody lives on goodreads like me and Abbie ☺
