Great job Dawn! Team DC has been a bit lethargic this week - without you, we wouldn't have had any points this week at all yet!
Ha! ha! Thanks Greg!Unfortunately it's raining in England again so I'm hitting the books big time! Why does it always rain weekends? why can't it just rain when I'm at work!!!

Karen also defeated Man-Ape while John recruited Nova. Kate added Black Panther to her team, Mark added Coulson and Clarkiep finished all of Ms. Marvel's challenges.
For Team DC I awarded the points that Ana A should have already gotten last week for defeating Man-Ape. Apart from that Dawn took the opportunity of rain in England to be the first player to defeat Deadshot.
There were no Energy Cells earned this week. Another question came up regarding the moderator's BotM Wool. This one won't count for the challenge as it is under 100 pages.
wool is 508 pages! It's the omnibus for the challenge. it should count!
Jenny wrote: "wool is 508 pages! It's the omnibus for the challenge. it should count!"Yes, it's confusing with both the novella and the omnibus listed on Goodreads, but the threads specifically say to get the omnibus (contains #1-3).
The BoM link goes to Wool #1 - which is only 58 pages. (Just going by what the link to the book says).The thread says to get the omnibus so if you get the collection with all five stories, that would count of course. But I just went with what the link to the book was so for me, it doesn't count.
But the previous moderator's botm didnt count either right? just the 'normal' ones.
Milou wrote: "But the previous moderator's botm didnt count either right? just the 'normal' ones."You are correct Milou. The previous Mod Special did not count towards energy cells.
I do wish I would have known that, because I decided to read it bc it would have been an energy cell, but it's a good book so whatever.
Milou wrote: "But the previous moderator's botm didnt count either right? just the 'normal' ones."Yes I think Mpauli said he preferred not to disturb the number of cells available because they were set up to complete at a certain time - he didn't want us to run out of portal heroes too early
