R7: SS~How to Play, Help & Discussion Thread

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

That's fine thanks anyway.

[Dora]

And I'm missing a review agan, from the same person and she isn't responding to my PM. Acording to the rules, a person who hasn't posted their review twice is excluded from the group. If I don't see her review by the midnight, can I still roll?

Have you used your free pass already?

[Dora]

yes, because the same person didn't post her review :(

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Dora wrote: "yes, because the same person didn't post her review :("

Yes, then. If no review, then said person will be withdrawn and you can roll. Sorry, that sucks :(

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

The person we were waiting for posted her Review but Dora might be asleep I messaged her in game but it is about midnight her time is it Ok If I roll and let her post in mark your spot?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yes. Of course you can roll for your team. I'm glad the review is in!

[Linda C]

just looking ahead and I see alternate #58 is White. Is that a cover color?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yes. Cover white

[Maddie]

Just a quick question: My team rolled and now we're on spot 26. My next read is , and it has a #2 in the series. Does that mean I can read it, but just review the second part and count that? Or can't I because I have the first and second together, so it isn't solely the second book?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

That book would work like an anthology so you would need to read the whole book both 1-2. A short review is just fine.

[Kme_17]

just to let you know we are missing a review I just pm that person and will give her a little bit more time. We have used our free pass in a previous time.

[Katherine]

I still don't have Rose's book.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

If the missing person had previously missed a review (resulting in the use of your free pass) then 2nd missed turn will result in their disqualification from the group. If it's their first offense, then you may lose a turn :(

I'd keep on eye in the page to see when they last logged on to GR.

I'm sorry but I'm hopeful so keep your fingers, legs and eyes crossed they come in on time

[Katherine]

So now i need to use free pass and roll again?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

If you guys don't want to wait to see if the missing person will turn up later today, then yes, your team may redeem their free pass now.

I thought that until Friday 12 p.m. all books have to be posted.

a review isn't late until after Friday 11:59p.
So you have some time until then.

Okay thank you :D That's great news!

[Kme_17]

She still hasn't responded what should we do ?

[SandyC]

I am missing one review and we haven't heard from her.
So, if she doesn't post by midnight does that mean we can't roll at all this week?

[Esther]

Our team is on #46 and the alternative category is Freebies. To qualify, does the book have to be on that list or does it need to meet the criteria of being a Freebie?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

hmmmm, good question. The book should come from that link IF you choose to go the alternate route

[Cait S]

Hey!

On our list of spots, #59 is for the 2012 Goodreads Awards but it's not an actual link. I can't click on it to go anywhere. Is that just me/my computer or could I have you check that out quick to see?

Thank you!

I did get it. I am a little under the weather

Hey ThatEzi! Quick question. This week our team is choosing from the Best Book Ever shelf on listopidia. Does it matter how far down the book is on the list? This list has over 400 pages of books.

It doesn't matter as long as it is on the list. It usually helps to reference what number it is.

[Kayla]

Awesome thanks joanne

Thanks JoAnne.
And she was right Kayla! Just say what page is on .

[LaurLa]

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never landed on the publication year as the alternate before. Does the book have to be on the linked list or can it be any book published in the year?

[JoAnne]

As long as Goodreads states that it's the publication year you're good since everything for Goodreads challenges is based on Goodreads listings.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Lol. Im going to recruit JoAnne to help with this challenge. She's completely right. As long as the publication year as stated on Goodreads is the required year, you are good.

[LaurLa]

Thanks, ladies!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

of course LaurLa

I don't mind adding my 2 cents but I'm not good with linking, etc.
Someday, maybe when I retire I can do more.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Ezi,

Will this work for multi colored cover?

I see white, green and red for author name, will that count as 3 colors?

Thanks!!

I normally don't count authors name, but I saw white, blue, green so I will accept!!
I have been eyeing that book too

Great! I thought there might be blue but it's hard to tell how it shows up for others

Thanks

green cover?

[Belinda]

Would this work for a #9? - listed as #9.5

[JoAnne]

Belinda wrote: "Would this work for a #9? - listed as #9.5"

Yes - per page 1 on this discussion thread

✸Half books: ½ or .5 count only if they meet the page requirement AND will be judged by preceding whole number numeral on goodreads.
Example: Spot 8: A MacKenzie Clan Gathering (MacKenzies & McBrides, #8.5) would count for spot 8 because it meets the page limit.

Perfect, thanks. Will pick one and start reading it tonight!

[Catherine]

Wanted to make sure this cover has enough green to count as geeen cover.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

This Karen R book is really close. I'm on the fence if it's 50% green. White, yes. Green, hmmm? Give me a minute
