Super, Speedy, Series How to Play, Discussion, & Help

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Jenne,
is there a limit to how many "alternatives" people can choose, or could I literally use an alternative shelf every roll.

(*Of course I think there should be a limit to maintain the integrity of the challenge, but I am going to keep that comment to myself)

[PepperP0t]

I hope there isn't a limit since you have no idea where they are on series or if they are a series reader or what mood they are in.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

If no limit, then every week, you can literally just read off the alternative lists, what would be the point of rolling the dice?

I suggest if there is 10 week of competition (20 books), then you can use 10 alternatives. so you can you use alternate book once in a week.

[PepperP0t]

rolling the dice moves you along the board - and again everybody doesn't read series and/or may not be on that number so what are they supposed to do? not play that week and make their team lose?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I doubt that there is a single person who signed up who is completely caught up on all their series.
Also, I've read books for challenges that I wasn't in the mood for or would have even picked up. That's what makes these challenges "challenging" . I may not want to read DArk Hunter 11 that particular week, but I will if needed. I don't know...

There's a measure of sacrifice each teammate will have to make for their team. But I will abide with whatever Jenne decides.

I will reread the rules again...

[Nika ♥Marie♥]

I don't know Ezi, that might be kind of hard considering that sometimes you might be too far away from the number to read a series. I am either caught up in my series or on book 1 there is no middle for me.

No sorry, no adding your numbers. Chances are you'll get your chance to read your #8 book lol.

[Jenne]

There's no limit on the alternates being used. I don't expect any one to read out of order, I wouldn't do it. Plus not everyone is a series junkie either lol. Your reads aren't going to be hard like they would for WWGRF what's going to be hard is having the whole team done on time twice a week. I totally agree about reading books you're not in the mood for for the sake of a challenge. *shudders* thinking about how many times I'll probably have to read psy-changeling for this game lol. But honestly the difficulty is going to be finished twice a week. Love the pic btw :)

[PepperP0t]

not trying to gang up on you Ezi, but this way it gives every team a chance to win because everyone won't have the same throw on the dice and move the same amount of spaces each time. so here it isn't necessarily the team that reads the fastest wins.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Pat & Ezi I love you both. You make me smile all the time.

[PepperP0t]

its what we live for. by Ezi is trying to pretend she doesn't know old mr. very well.

[[deleted user]]

so can a person flip flop between the alternates list and the regular game play when needed or is it strictly one or the other? I'm just trying to make my mind up if I want to play or not and this is kinda my deciding factor :)

[Jenne]

You can flip flop as needed.

Thanks Jenne :D

I never fail to have fun when i'm doing these team challenges, its the great books and people that keep me coming back :D

Hi Jenne,

This is my first attempt with this particular team challenge. I have read all the rules and comments--loved all the laughter! I just need clarification and this might sound silly---If I sign up, I will have to read two books (and reviews) each week. Are there any specific rules about reviews such as length, etc. Is is okay to combine with an other challenge such as a monthly challenge--just thinking aloud. Hope you can understand all my questions. Thanks again.

[Jenne]

You can definitely combine your reads with other challenges. It will be two books and reviews a week. They'll have to be done by Thursday and Sunday. Here's an example of a review for your read:

Space 24
Read: by Stacia Kane
Finished: 9/27/13
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review:
Blah blah, etc
Doesn't have to be anything fancy. It does need to be more than I liked it.

[Book Concierge]

I'm definitely going to be cheering the teams on from the sidelines for this one. Y'all have fun!

come join us, it so fun when we screw up together

[Jenne]

The page limit minimum should help too. I wouldn't try to tackle a chunkster for this game.

Thanks, Pat ... but other commitments would interfere with my ability to COMMIT to reading two books a week (even with the alternate plan ... which I'd definitely use).

Tell you what, though. Whatever team you are on ... I'll "play along" on the sidelines to see if I can even keep up. My reads won't count for the team (and I won't hold the team back, either!) ... but I'll let you know at the end how I did.

ok....if you're sure.

[Jenne]

Captains when you go to roll the die be sure to adjust it to one die. It will not save it as one it automatically reverts back to 2 when using the link.

I'm not playing but this comment makes me wonder ... I thought there was an earlier discussion about what to do with double digits .... if you only have 1 die you cannot possibly have double digit results ... Hmmmm

It's a game board - you roll the dice to move spaces. The number you land on determines the book # to read - not the die.

[Jenne]

Thats right JoAnne!

Jenne wrote: "Thats right JoAnne!"

Glad I understand what we'll be doing - LOL :)

[Mary X]

You can have a double digit on the space you land on so I asked if we can read the actual double digit number. Because the rules said, for example, if you land on space #23 you can read a 2nd or 3rd in the series.

I asked if we could also just read a book #23 and was told yes. Someone else asked if the 2 numbers could be added together to read a 5th in a series and was told no.

[Jenne]

That sums it up perfectly :)

[[deleted user]]

not sure if this was asked already or not but what happens when you land on a number with a zero in it like 10,20,30 etc... I know we can read a 1st, 2nd or 3rd in series book but is there a rule for the Zero? This might be a stupid question but I just wanted to have all my bases covered :D

[Jenne]

No Kat it hasn't been brought up and I'm glad you did! If you land on a spot with a zero you can read a stand alone for the zero if you want to.

[Mary X]

Oh good question and I like the answer.
