If you despise The Walking Dead you might need a less chatty team.

I don't despise it. I just don't do zombies. LOL

Sorry Alex, Poseidon and Sehkmet beat ANY zombie talk :P

Heck, yes!! ;-)

[Alex]

I added TWD to my DVR just so I know what you guys are talking about every week.

I am new to Tower of Teams. So will i be notify what team i am on?

[Sonia]

Koula wrote: "I am new to Tower of Teams. So will i be notify what team i am on?"

Yes. We'll PM you. It may take a couple of weeks though. Please be patient. It's worth it.

[Sonia]

Okay, sooooo, tomorrow I'm going to be in a meeting, not sure for how long, but I'm going to be pessimist and say whole day.

Meaning probably there will be no meme wars, no banter, no thread snooping around, and no team related stuff the whole day. For me. You can do it as long as you play nice.

I'M SERIOUS. Don't make me pull rank this early in the competition :D

Just in case you all start panicking for not seeing me around.

Have fun!

[Nicole]

Hi Sonia,

I'm just wondering if I've submitted my application in correctly, cause I did it a week or so ago but haven't been PMed with a team assignment yet. Should I be worried?

[Daphne]

Hey Stacie and Pigletto! I missed you all. :)

You can blame Cathy M. for nudging me in this direction. Looking forward to seeing where I end up.

Hahaha :D What, blame me?! Well only if you are on an opposing team and totally kick our butts :P

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Hey Nicole
You're on my team - Bastet!
The assignments were posted on a thread around here somewhere, but I'm on my phone so can't link it (Goodreads won't let us PM 200 people so it's only the new sign ups that will be sent an individual message ;). )

[Silje]

I signed up and then forgot to check up on GR for a week or two. Result: more than 450 messages to read through:P

I look forward to this challenge and it's actually my first tower team challenge. I did UNO and Gladiator and was hooked after that! Gladiator was crazy in the end with so much to keep track of, I'm thinking this will be more easy-going. Glad to see so many familiar people=)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Hi silje!
Haha. You should know better than to stay away from GR ;)
Yell out if you have trouble finding your team

Sign-ups till this moment were all assigned to teams and notified.

Please let us know if you didn't receive the message,

Thank You

[Megan]

Important note 2: If any captain or co-captain was not invited to the captains group yet, please either let either us know, so we can fix it as quick as possible.

Hey, I've found my group - thankfully my captain was on the ball... However, I haven't received an invite to the group and I'm co-captain :). Thanks :)

Hey Megan, send you the link. Let me know if it works

[Beth]

Are sign ups still going on or are they closed for now?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Still open :)

[Beth]

Where do we go to sign up? I can't find the thread but maybe I'm just blind today lol

[Beth]

I found it, never mind!

Hey Ducky,
In msg 5 it says join now!

[Jim]

Good evening,

I have signed up but have never done a Tower Teams challenge before.

Jim

[Nicole]

Welcome, Jim! Have you read the rules and got any questions for us?

[Laura]

Jim come join us on team Flidais!

[Melissa (ladybug)]

All signed up! :) Nice to see everyone again

[Sonia]

Hey Melissa! Welcome to the challenge. It may take a couple of days to assign you... I'm debating on having a new team or re-enforce the current ones :)

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm glad you sent out that message, we haven't had all our team check in as of yet, hopefully soon :-)

Berit wrote: "I'm glad you sent out that message, we haven't had all our team check in as of yet, hopefully soon :-)"

:)

I feel bad sometimes, because we have 12000+ members, so, they get a LOT of mail. And private profiles don't get the messages, but, sometimes is the best option.

[Kari]

woot! Tower teams came back! I just found this a couple days ago so I'm awaiting a team assignment. Looking forward to the fun!

[Sonia]

Okay, I know I said maybe today, but I'm exhausted. So, sign-ups till this moment will be notified tomorrow morning about their teams.

Off to sleep.

[Delta]

I'm doing Tower Teams! There are several people doing both that and the Winter Expedition.

I am on that list Also Delta, doing both. Trying to figure out all the books, challenges, teams, etc... It is a bit overwhelming, but I think it will be fun once it all gets started.

[Delta]

Yeah, I've somehow managed to sign up for all the challenges and I have no idea how I'm going to finish them all.

Is there an option to NOT sign up for all of the challenges?! Lol!

No, STOP, please you're scaring me!!!
I have so far 6, plus this one, and another group. Ahhhhhh!!! What was I thinking.

;-)

[Tara]

You were thinking how awesome all these challenges are and how much fun you will have!

Tara Jo wrote: "You were thinking how awesome all these challenges are and how much fun you will have!"

Yeah, you caught me.

Ah I see over in the other that Delta is inviting people from here to earn more badges. Sneeky! I like it.

[Tara]

Haha!

ALWAYS!!! I'm totally guilty of taking on a ton at a time but I love it!

[Berit☀️✨]

The best thing is when you can get the same book to fit into all of your challenges!!! I feel like I really accomplish something then ;-)
