Tower Teams I Sign-ups Round II - You are NOT automatically in Round II, if you were in Round I.
I'm as excited as Steven - I get way too into this kind of stuff.❀ Oo ❀ wrote: "

Oo, I was so excited that I got put on one of the blue teams...I would have hated to be on something silly like Mango Tango :P
Well, I love the color blue and would have LOVED to end up on a Blue colored team... but most people laugh at my favorite color (brown... whose favorite color is brown? I judge myself!!!) anyways so...WICKED WANGO MANGO TANGO!!!
I do wish there had been a TARDIS Blue... though if I hadn't ended up on that team, I would have cried. And quit like a child. X)

Mod
...Hey, maybe you could make some money off them. LOL!
I believe they would have to get permission from the BBC or something, so probably not.But Tardis Blue and Chocolate Brown are my two favorite colors :)
And yes, Ashley, I too would have bribed the mods... but I think so many would be clamoring to be there that there wouldn't be any other teams with members! :)
YES!!! @ randomflower Oo randomflower... wow, no idea how to do those.WICKED WANGO DO THE FANDANGO MANGO TANGO!
We are all such nerds. We're smack talking about reading. LMAO
Steven wrote: "We are all such nerds. We're smack talking about reading. LMAO"I was honestly sitting in front of my computer cracking up, thinking the same thing!
I'd be willing to part with my spare house-elf.
Well clearly I don't own Dobby. He was owned by the Malfoys and then was freed.I have Blinky (almost completely blind) as a backup. He'll do just fine for someone else. :)
They don't like to get paid, remember? :D

I feel the same way on both counts! I can't plan out my shelf name until I know my team name, haha!
I'm so amused by all the "smack talking" and then the nerdy exchange about house elves and how they don't like to be paid, lol!
I was hoping there'd be a Bimbo Blonde team. (and I'm blonde so I can make that joke).
I'd definitely end up in the "Dirty Blonde" category. Fitting, actually. X)
❀ Oo ❀ wrote: "Stephen's Brown..."LOL! Good way to bring it back there :)
I'd definitely be a Feisty Red :) It fits my personality, too!
I love the dorkiness of you guys. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Sigh, it's so nice to have found "my people."
Moderators, please know I will not complain if you add my fellow Whacky Mango-minded friend Oo to the Mango-Tango team :)Stacie, it's nice we have our own little world, isn't it? :D

Except I'm a V -- the right spelling!!! -- not a PH!
Can I pleaseeee be in Forest Green? I know we´re not supposed to ...er, chose but please at least keep me in mind when selecting for that team? xD
I just hope I am not on a team called magenta, can't stand that color.lol I also can't stand the color purple/lavender.lol
I was hoping to be put on the purple team, but I just looked at the names of the team. I don't like the name for that color. The coolest names, in my opinion, are moonstone, electric lime, and mango tango.My sister will NOT want to be on the tickle me pink team! She HATES pink!!
I don't like pink either.lol Karla thank you.
I'd like to join again! How many books have you read in 2012? 100
How many books do you plan to read 2013 for the whole year, not just what remains? 200 is my personal goal but in round one I was given the goal of 67 books.
If you we're in round one, the percentage of goal reached would be appreciated if you know it? 70 percent
Would you be willing to be a team captain? As of right now I wouldn't be comfortable with that job.
If we have already signed up here, do we just wait to receive a message telling us which team we are on? Or do we need to sign up again? I just want to make sure, thanks all!! :)

I think it is being saved for people who join later on.
So, I just finished a book, will it count towards the next round, even though I have not been assigned a group yet?
Mod
Jessica (W) (100), I received your request and put you on the waiting list. I might be able to squeeze you in before then, as someone drastically reduced their goal; however, you might not be with your old Team mates. We'll see.
Mod
Donna, I will be posting the Team Assignments later tonight. Probably in a new thread.
Mod
Karla, yes your book will count. Anything FINISHED on April 12th or after will count.
If you have the same bookshelf name for both challenges, it will count towards both Rounds.
If you edit you bookshelf name it will carry over.
Thanks for answering my question. I'm glad the book counts.
Karla, if you want to make a new bookshelf for this challenge with a color name you can do that too. Just add the book to it once you make it and set up your challenge and goodreads will count it since it was finished in the challenge dates. :)Lisa Kay, don't forget that Karla mentioned liking the name Mango Tango... And she's finished a book already HINT HINT!!! Hahahahahaha :)
Steven stop trying to influence the mods :P*giggles*
Hey, if the blue teams are gonna gang up, then I'm going to try everything I can without cheating or rule breaking to even the playing field! :)
Blah, Goodreads was down for hours! Luckily, I had to work for a few of them but I kept refreshing like a fiend after I got home, hehe. Finally, it is back! I wonder if it was down for everyone (their Twitter said that they were down for "some" customers). So excited to start a new round of this reading fun, lol. The rivalry between the blues and Steven is cracking me up.
What is taking so long?lol I am itching to get started.rofl

Mod
Sorry if this has been answered but, I'm a bit confused.. First of all what's the "sister group" for? Are we going to use the threads there? And have we found our what team we're in yet?Thank you for all your hard work!! :-)

Hi! Think I'm right about this.... The sister group's where we're signing up for the challenge and where the books are being kept track of and things (like we did on the main page of this group last round). There may be a few posts and things over there but the main discussion threads are in this group, in this folder.
Does that make sense?

Yay! Root for us, we have ninjas (apparently!)
Ahaaa, makes sense now! Thank you Claire :)
Oo, you're in Leather Jacket Black, I think. :)
Haha, yeah, badbutt would never work :)
❀ Oo ❀ wrote: "How do I find postings ,please? I'll stop harassing this thread then."
See above. :) I posted the link around the same time as you posted this question. I found it by nosing around the main page of the Round 2 folder, hehe.
Thanks Mods for putting my sister and me on the same team!@Steven, I'll make the new bookshelf as soon as I can sign up for the challenge. I won't forget to put the book I finished on the shelf. I am on Mango Tango, so I guess the Mods listen to you. (We were also on the same team last round.)
Mod
Yes, Alexa, Claire is correct in Post #417.
Did you see where the hyperlink to the Google Spreadsheet is?
Mod
I thought so.
So, ❀Oo❀, are you at all interested in being Co-captain?
