Lára
"Please wait to be told to which Team you are assigned. It might take awhile; however, you will be able to count the books you have read from the START date of the challenge."
That means that all the books I´ve read so far, for my personal 2013. challenge, do not count and that I need to read additional 200 books for Tower Team Read 2013 challenge? My goal is 300 books, and 200 for this challenge... which means 500 books altogether? I want to be completely sure that I understand the rules before it´s too late to withdraw. And if it is 500 books, I´d like to be crossed.

Moderators of NBRC | 33496 comments Mod
Lára, for your goal you should put in the number of books (> or = 160 pages) you plan to read for the whole year. That is how we are determining how to divide up the Teams.

We are trying to balance the Teams according to everyone’s yearly reading level. Since all members of your Team will be contributing, you will be in a race to see which Team gets to 2,013 books first. Most likely - or hopefully, if your Team wins - this will be before you reach your personal goal.

thanks

Moderators of NBRC | 33496 comments Mod
Lára, the challenge will have a date range defined when it starts. Therefore, only those books you read during that time will count. For example, if the start of Round 2 is April 15, all those books you read from that point on will count, even if you use the same bookshelf name for another challenge, say for Round I, or a challenge elsewhere in GRs.

You are not bothering me; I am more than happy to try and explain it to you.


message 162: by ✿Claire✿ (last edited Mar 11, 2013 04:21PM) (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Lára, I think (and please correct me if I'm wrong Moderators) what they want to know is how many books you plan on reading throughout the whole of 2013, regardless of if you've already done some, so they can get an idea of how fast you read. For instance, reading 300 books a year is very impressive and you would be considered a fast reader, some people may only read 10 a year and therefore be less fast at reading. Knowing peoples' paces makes it easier to sort people into teams. It doesn't matter how much of your goal you've already completed, it's not a strict number you absolutely have to stick to.
It also doesn't mean that you can't read more or less and your books for other challenges, including personal ones, can count for this, you just need a specific bookshelf for the Tower Teams challenges.

I hope that makes sense and nobody minds me chipping in!

Lára Hi, me again. This time it´s not about numbers.
Can I be Manatee (nickname based on Crayola crayon colors list) or you randomly chose the nicknames later?

I know that patience is not one of my virtues :D

Moderators of NBRC | 33496 comments Mod
I'm not sure what you are asking, Lára. You mean you want to change your name to include the nickname "Manatee"? Sure. If you are asking if that is one of the Team names, it is not.

Uh.. I read it wrong.
"FYI: We are going to use Crayola Colors/Colours this time, for Team names."

Sorry, completely my fault, i have no idea what´s wrong with me this week. It´s clear, no A, B, C but color names.. for team names not for member´s nicknames

but I´d like to name my shelf for this challenge Manatee, if that´s fine.
Again, so sorry.
I´ll stay quiet for the rest of the week xD

Red Solo Cup you didn't indicate how many books for 2013. In Round I you signed up for 40, but lowered it to 35. You are currently at 23%, which is slightly ahead of estimate (20%). So, I put you at 40 for Round II. Let me know, if you disagree.
