If we are doing a RPG section, can we have a Assasins Game/Mafia/Werewolve Game(I think in forums those two are always kind of merged), too? :)

I can do the roleplay section I used to play a lot, when I was like 13/14 XD So it's a while since I've done it, but I'd probably be able to start one! :)

For the AG people need to sign up first before it's started. Since it's a game where some people are eliminated each day and it follows a story.
Can I send out a group message after creating one? Since I think we'd need at least 10 people for it to work properly. (Luckily I organized a forum AG before!)

the awesome moment when I go to sleep at 148 members in this group and wake up to 185 members :D

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments I was going to say one book, Hannah. What were you thinking? :)

Awhh I love moments like that Rachel!

Gina's (ginasgoodreads) | 2292 comments Where can I add an open discussion for books that now are movies, it's like a game with some ideas of the alphabet challenge.

And can I open a poll to comment about books? It would be like a type of trivia.

Greetings Mods.

of course! do whatever you'd like! If it's a game, we have a games folder to put it in.

Um for the once I've done, it's quite arbitrary. I think it's best to do it at an untimed schedule. When you feel that someone is just not doing any work at all, demote them. I'd keep at least two weeks between any elimination tho. So whatever you'd like!


message 161: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Hannah, I didn't get a message from you in my messages
:( Could you possibly send it again when you have a minute?

I go back to classes today and I'm not excited :(


message 162: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Yes, I did I just joined before I sat down to read today's chapters :)

YAY!!!!

Actually I'm wondering why you are so happy about it, when barely half of the people ever posted something in this group and maybe a quarter can be counted as active.
I don't want to spoil you the fun, but I know enough people, who join A LOT of groups, but never even take a look what's going on. ^^; (and I'd actually be more happy about a group with ~30 people where everyone is really active instead of a group with 700 people, where maybe 20 people are regular active)

Yeah I know... :/ Numbers are still nice to see tho! It's like that with all groups. No matter the size, it's still roughly the same proportions.


message 166: by Jasmin, Cookie Monster :) (new)

Jasmin (sakuchu) | 964 comments Mod
Yeah, I checked. But somehow it's kind of sad! :( Would be nice to have everyone participating! :) (Simply let me dream lol)

good point Hannah! Wide Web of Friends has 850+ members and now that we're kind of big, more people join and we've managed to gain some awesomely active members! Like you :)

I've had to leave some groups because I wasn't active and I didn't want to be in them if I wasn't going to be active. So I am now only a member ones that I liked the most.


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) I really like this group. It's fun :)

same! yet I'm still part of 28 groups XD


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) Small rant:

I just got 3 of the books I had ordered off Amazon today. One of them was in ok condition. The other two were not. Shatter has a small tear and has many scratches on the side of the book. Last Sacrifice has a small tear on the spine. If I read the book, that tear will only get bigger. I am not happy, Amazon.


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) *Shatter Me, not Shatter


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) I convinced my mom that they were bad enough condition to at least send back Shatter Me. I mean, I can live with Last Sacrifice with the small tear, but I'm still frustrated about it.

Hey, sorry I haven't been doing much recently. People keep dumping more and more stuff on my plate *anxiety rolls in* I promise I'll do more once this horrible storm of work has passed!

You and me both ;)

Thanks for understanding hon!


message 182: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Rachel and Hannah, I know exactly what you mean! I feel like every time I think things are slowing down they just pick right back up again and then I feel stressed! lol


message 183: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Hannah: I know! I actually gave up on reading one of my textbooks for graduate school because honestly it was a waste of time and I could be reading things that I actually want to read!


message 184: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments Oh no! lol My teacher herself said that the textbook isn't the best and we will get pretty much all of our information from her lectures and powerpoints so I'm good on that! :)

Jasmin (sakuchu) | 964 comments Mod
I'd totally feel bad to eliminate people, too! It's kind of sad :(

But I think (at least from my point of view lol) people joined knowing they would be eliminated, so they won't be angry at you :D (and luckily no one is really dying here lol)


message 186: by Riya (new)

Riya Exactly- and I like how you did it Hannah with the district stuff :)

Riya And yeah, same for me. I can help out with anything that's needed.


message 190: by Meghan (new)

Meghan (meghancitylibrary) | 1582 comments I think either way works whatever you guys want to do lol but yeah it is sad to eliminate people :(

Sia can probably help you, Hannah, for the time being until we eventually narrow the games down to one mod.


message 196: by Riya (new)

Riya Awesome! Thanks for the job Hannah- and if you ever need something, I'm always up for helping out with anything :)

Really I get BOTM? I always miss that stuff XD (I always have to work hard to go to the poll before it closes! lol)
And you might be surprised: Actually I thought about doing it yesterday, too haha like If I had to do that I'd be totally confused lol
But I'll only need to decide on the dates it's done right? (YOu task schedule the schedule confuses me.. lol)

Can I maybe have the PIFM Challenge, too? :) Or maybe an all new challenge? In a group I'm in they are always doing PIFM a little bit different, deciding a theme and people have to look for like 4-5 books matching different themes. I'd like to do something like that, but I'm not sure if you would want to name it PIFM too or use a different name for it :)

@Roleplay:
Actually I know a lot of guys, who roleplay. I used to roleplay a lot and half of the people are guys :)(given it's a theme guys like lol)


message 198: by Jasmin, Cookie Monster :) (new)

Jasmin (sakuchu) | 964 comments Mod
Just how am I supposed to name it? I'm not sure lol Pick me a themed book? PMTB? LOL I'm really bad at naming stuff XD

And making topics and gathering book choices seems easy :)

I'll simply go with your idea now :)
