Tower Teams I Sign-ups Round II - You are NOT automatically in Round II, if you were in Round I.

[Kay Kay]

I would like to join a group
How many books you read in 2012. 91
How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages? 100
(For the whole year, not just what remains...)
If you were in Round I, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated, if you know it. I read 24 books that qualified for the tower team challenge. 44%
Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? No

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Thanks, Karrie, for posting here after I received your request to join our "sister group." I am waiting to hear back from a couple people about adjustments they are making to their goals, then I'll get back to both you and Amy.

[Michael]

I'd like the chance to join.

✔ How many books you read in 2012. 167
✔ How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages?
(For the whole year, not just what remains...) 125
✔ If you were in Round I, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated,
if you know it. 32%
✔ Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? No

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, Michael! Welcome. We just are trying to iron out one or two little issues with regards to goals. It might not be until tomorrow before we can assign you, Amy, and Karrie.

However, if it takes longer than that, I'm just going to temporarily put you on the Mod Team and count your books until you are all placed on other Teams. I'll set up a "holding account" so the Mod Account can take credit for your books after you are reassigned.

Baaahhhaha!

[Alba]

Can I jump in on this team challenge also?

I plan to read 60 books this year, And I wouldn't want to be a team captain.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, ~Alba~. Welcome. **waves, "Hi!"**

[Alba]

*Waves Back* Hi Mods :)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

**Psst, ~Alba~** It is me, Lisa Kay. Well, this time it is. ☺

[Alba]

Hahaha Hi LisaKay, I just read that afew of the Mods share this account and was trying to figure our who I was 'waving' at.
*giggles*

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

**giggles back**

[Lauren]

Hi, I'd love to join in too if its not too late.

* How many books you read in 2012: 229
* How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages?
(For the whole year, not just what remains...) 150
* If you were in Round I, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated, if you know it. Newbie here, didn't play in round I
* Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain? New to this, so would prefer not to captain. Perhaps next round.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, Lauren. I'll be getting back to everyone awaiting a Team later today.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

I'm still working on the assignments. Awaiting someone who I directed to this thread.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Okay, a question for all those awaiting Teams. You would like your assignments now, knowing you will possibly be moved to another Team? I have a "heavy hitter" who hasn't checked in yet.

[Alba]

I think I would rather wait until you are ready. I wouldn't want to get to know a team and involved in the 'mini-challenges' I've seen in the groups only to be moved and start again. If that's ok. If you would rather assign teams and then moved us, then I'll just go with it :)

I hope the 'Heavy Hitter' checks in soon, so we can all get started with our new teams :0)

[Lauren]

I agree with Alba. I wold also prefer to wait for the 'Heavy Hitter' than get attached to a team and have to leave.

[Amy]

I will wait with everyone else waiting for a team

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

ღღ Alba ღღ, Lauren, & Amy, I will wait a bit then. Some people have week-end plans and don't check into GRs. Thanks for your patience.

[Michael]

I don't mind waiting to be assigned a team. Please let me know when I'm assigned and what I need to do.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Alright, Michael. I'll post hyperlinks of just where to go.

Since the wait is going to be so long, I plan to PM all of you, instead of just posting here. (Though, I'll post here, too.)

[Lauren]

Thanks for the update. Is there any estimate on how long it will be? Not that I'm impatient or anything :0)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

I was hoping people would check-in by Sunday, as that is the busiest day on GRs. So, maybe late, late tonight or early a.m. tomorrow. (It is 11:33 a.m. on Sunday where I am.)

[Lauren]

Great. I'll stay tuned. It's 21:38 pm here.

[Lisa Kay]

Thanks, Lauren!

[Reed]

Okay, I'm a little confused...I was put in Purple Mountain's Majesty but I was told to sign up in the sister group and the link brought me to a list of topics so I chose this one to come into. Am I in the right place? My shelf for this round is named purle-group.

Feel free to point me in a different direction if I'm lost here.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Reed, I see you finally found the Home Page challenge for Purple Mountain's Majesty , posted your correct goal, and saw your Post #123 in their discussion thread. I noted your bookshelf name, too.

Good Gravy Beans! You were in the marathon in Boston? I'm glad you're with us!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Working on new placements now.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Okay, here we go yet again!

Electric Lime, I have not forgotten you. If your two members who have NOT joined on the Home Page challenge do not show up, and if we do NOT get more NBRC members wanting to join, I may move one of the Mods over to you. ☺

[Lauren]

Hey there, I don't see my name on the list but I did answer all the questions?

Drat! Sorry, Lauren. Let me see where I put you. Just a minute or two.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Okay, Lauren, I edited Post #562. Sorry for the mistake.

[Lauren]

No worries :0)

Off to join the sister group and introduce myself to Electric Lime!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Alright. I'll be looking for it. It might take about 15 minutes to get to me.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Micheal and Ashlynn , I need a request to join the "sister group" from you. Thanks!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Yay more players!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Yay! Stephanie and Kessa, welcome! I'll be assigning your shortly; I just need to check if any on the assigned players have accepted my "friend request" (FR)

Stephanie I received your "request to join." However, Kessa, I need you to accept the Mod Account's FR, or also sent me a "request to join." That is the only way I can invite you to the "sister group." Unless you'd rather be friends with my - Lisa Kay's - personal account.

Also, one person sent me a "request to join;" however, they did NOT sign-up in this thread; I'm waiting to see if I hear from them.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Stephanie, I sent you a PM.

Thanks, Lindy! Gotcha.

[Kessa]

My goal of 40 seems Tiny compared to everybody else's LoL

[Steven]

Kessa, don't worry... lots of us have lower goals. Don't let the crazy readers intimidate with their 100s and 225s and such! We're all in this to read more for OURSELVES! :D
