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

[Steven]

That's exciting April (JK) [aside from the no internet for a day or two]... luckily the way the challenge is set up, once you get assigned a team, EVERYTHING you've finished (marked as READ) on or after April 12 will still count for the team. :)

2 whole new rooms... that's a lot of extra space for books!!!!!! :D

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

What Steven said! Two new rooms = lots of book space, hehehe!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Well then, April (JK) (065) and Sophie (J-UK) (050), since your Internet will be down, I went ahead and sent you both "I" = invites to the "sister group." Might at well get that hurdle out of the way, as there seems some delay in them going out yesterday...or was it the day before?

[Steven]

Haha, LK, the days all blur together in the NBRC reading frenzy!

[Lisa Kay]

Man-oh-man! That is the understatement of the year, Steven.

[Steven]

Haha, yes it is!

[Lisa Kay]

Oh! That looks delish! Thank you, Teresa.

I'm going to be AFK... **Lisa Kay scurries off to kitchen**

[Sophie, The other one]

No worries, just let me know if there's anything I need to do other than carry on reading!
Jealous of having rooms that can have books - currently still in student accommodation which means moving to often to build up a collection. Just happy public libraries are good.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Thanks, Sophie! I see you successfully joined the "sister group." ☺

[[deleted user]]

Ahhhhh, my account is playing up, please bare with me. It won't let me accept anything, or do anything. Keep getting an error message. Grrr

[Steven]

Looks like April (JK)'s a deleted user now. Wonder if she had to restart an account or what???

[Lisa Kay]

Might be... Someone had to do that last week.

[April (JK)]

OMG, OMG, OMG :(

I am so Sorry, I bet I have gone and mucked up your system/spreadsheets now. Please don't shoot me.....

I was trying to change the settings on my account, because it was playing up and I thought I could fix it, and pressed Delete Account instead of Save Updates. The two stupid buttons are right next to each other on the Settings Page. So now I have to start again and completely re-do my shelves. AHHHHHHHHHH
(Not a happy Bunny!!)

Serves me right for rushing and trying to use the Internet at work because we don't have Internet at home at the moment. But I just discovered about 20 mins ago that I can get Goodreads on my new phone, so I can still take part.

So sorry Moderators, I'm ready to play now, and won't mess about with any more buttons. Can I still continue to join a team??

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Of course, April (JK). Not a problem. It is a simple fix to our spreadsheet... not so much for you!

BTW, "tagging" books as "read" so that they show up under "view books" on a Team's challenge Home Page has been a problem on some mobile devices. I would try it on your new phone and see if it works; if not, then you'll need to use a regular computer.

[Steven]

April, make sure once you tag a book as read, you go to the book, edit your review, and double-check the date for "date read" and that should help! I had some trouble with this myself!

[April (JK)]

Thank you Steven & Lisa Kay. I will double check when while I'm doing it.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

April, I also sent you another invite to the "sister group."

[April (JK)]

Got it and joined. xx

Yup! There you are. ☺ One hurtle over.

[Steven]

I no longer see Karia's posts???

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Alas, Steven and Evana and the rest of you Mango Tangoanians.... Karia has deleted her account and her post requesting to be assigned a Team.

[TheBookishFairy]

I hope I am not too late to join, I only just saw this challenge in the May newsletter.

1. I believe I read at least 50 books in 2012 (alas I was not keeping track).
2. I am hoping to read 40 books this year at a minimum, but hopefully can exceed that.
3. I was not in Round 1.
4. I would not be willing to be captain or co-captain as I am not computer literate enough to handle the responsibilities, sorry.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, Lauren! Welcome. Just a minute and I'll assign you a Team.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

CHANGED MY MIND!

[Jackie]

I'd like to join in this Round, please.

1. I read 137 books last year.
2. My goal is to read 150 this year.
3. I was not in Round 1.
4. Not sure about being a captain; might be willing to be a co-captain so I could learn what's involved.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, Jackie. It will be a few minutes. Welcome!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Wait, Lauren. Disregard the assignment of Post #663, if you read it. I'm moving things around again.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Jackie, it will probably be more than a few minutes. I'm awaiting some mail from different Captains.

[Steven]

LK, Lauren just set up her challenge about an hour ago. I won't be on for most of the morning (super epic cleaning marathon at my dirty house) so if you move her will you send her directions on leaving the challenge she set up???

Thanks, <3

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure. I wonder how she got into the "sister group"?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Hmmmm... where are you looking, Steven?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Hi, This looks like fun. If you have a spot I'd like to join.

Books read last year: 170

Goal for this year: 170, but already 13 ahead,I like to be conservative so I meet my target.

Haven't played before:

Team Captain: I'll just be in a team thanks... more a supporter than a leader.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Yay! Lisa's here. **waves** Sure, I'll add you. It might be a day to two; I'm waiting to hear back from some members.

[Lára]

I changed my name to original Lára. My friends´re confused and that bothers me more than anything else.
It´s fine whether you leave IS next to my name/place name alert/confuse me for other member or not.

Sorry for inconvenience.

[Lisa Kay]

Not a problem, Lára.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

While I have been tracking people who have posted NO book at all, I have NOT been tracking those who have NOT posted books since first joining. It is important that you give me this information, as I believe we have one or two bogus accounts.

Thank you.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Finally! Here we go again! Sorry for the delay. I will also PM each new member this time, due to the long wait.

Lauren , (UK) {Name Alert} & Jackie, 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 our "sister group." Unless you'd rather be friends with my - Lisa Kay's - personal account.

Lisa (Aussie Girl) accepted into "sister group." Lauren sent an "I" invite.

[Andrea]

Hi,
If you're still accepting people could you add me? Here is the information you need:

How many books you read in 2012.
around 60

How many books you plan to read 2013 >/160 pages?
(For the whole year, not just what remains...)
120

If you were in Round I, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated, if you know it.
I think it was around 50% and my goal was 100

Would you be willing to be a Team Captain? Or Co-Captain?
No.. sorry!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, Andrea. Let me look over the spreadsheet and get back to you. It might take awhile.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Andrea, were you on Team C?

[Andrea]

Yes, I was on Team C in the previous challenge.

[Lisa Kay]

Andrea wrote: "Yes, I was on Team C in the previous challenge."

Thanks for letting me know, Andrea.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

I haven't forgotten about you, Andrea. I just probably won't assign you to a Team until after the R-a-T is done. Alright?

[Andrea]

Sure, that's fine.
