Fridays or Mondays are when most of my Challenge stuff is done, so rolling on one of those days sounds like it would work out well.

I can edit the spreadsheet, yay! I'm going to customize my column with colors as I complete tasks.Setting a schedule for Friday rolls is a great idea.
Yeah Friday rolls work. So does that mean we should be rolling again tomorrow?Holy moly Maya, you read so fast! So does that mean I now need to read 2 books because you own it?
Don't worry it's rent-free for me :pQ: Say we roll the same number and are on a property we need to read 2 books to own.... The one that reads them first and post owns property and the other has to read 3 books since they are on a owned property( or is that rent free that time)?
A: The person who reads first and posts owns that property, but since you were both there at the same time, it's a rent free land for the other person. However, that person has to finish reading and post the reviews that they were doing to try to win that spot. Just because say you beat Jenne, doesn't mean Jenne then gets to roll right away, she has to finish whatever she was reading and post before she can move on.
I had a thought about the spreadsheet -- do you mind if I add a row at the top for just our names? And then our spaces can go beneath that? So, we could have like you have it Roll 1 would be the ones we did yesterday, then Roll 2 would be next and so on.
Do we also need to do a small review when we finish our book?
Amanda wrote: "Do we also need to do a small review when we finish our book?"According to the rules we do. I don't know if we do that in here or if we can opt out of it or what.

S'what I thought. Just making sure.
I usually review my books because they count for other challenges which need reviews. I never used to do reviews :pAnd what do you mean by the spreadsheet, Teresa?
I think Teresa means adding one extra row at the top so that our name is in a separate cell than the space we're on.
Can I add an additional sheet with the properties, tasks, and who owns it?
Ah yeah that makes sense. I'll do that now.
Go for it! Does that mean that we won't need the tracking posts on this thread?
Alright, I'll do that. :) I don't know. We could have both, but if everything is all in the spreadsheet, it'll be easier to check?
Yeah, just assuming people remember to update it themselves and have it saved somewhere.
Okie, made a start. Just need to fill the rest of the tasks, and the community chest/chance options. How does that look?

To be fair, it's a short-ish middle-grade book. I'd be much more impressed with myself if I read War and Peace that quickly.
I'd be impressed with myself if I read War and Peace in like two weeks :pHow come you only joined this one, being one book a week?
Because she's sneaky and is playing more than one game. XD And a challenge addict.
But she's on her second roll already, and we only just got this challenge up yesterday :p
Maddison wrote: "And yeah, that looks good!"Okay, great! I'm filling in the shelf tasks now. :) But I can always change things, too.
I don't really read books specifically for challenges. I just read them and hope to get lucky.
I have no idea how you can be bothered to do all that :p Handy though, knowing what other people need to do for their tasks. Not sure why that's needed though, but good job :D
<_< Being a part of AMMP....most of my books have just become challenge books that I hope to fit in other challenges. :P
Maddison wrote: "I'd be impressed with myself if I read War and Peace in like two weeks :pHow come you only joined this one, being one book a week?"
I can read as fast as I want on the other one, so I think it should be okay. Also, seconding the challenge addict. :D
Haha alrighty :p I haven't even started my St Charles book, so there was no way I was going to win.
Maddison wrote: "I have no idea how you can be bothered to do all that :p Handy though, knowing what other people need to do for their tasks. Not sure why that's needed though, but good job :D"Bwahaha, because I find it easier. I like working on spreadsheets.
Ah okay haha.Also, when someone's in Jail, do you only roll once a day, and after the last roll (if no doubles) do you get to move? Because, on another Monopoly I'm doing, we get in Jail and then take our first roll on the same day, and then on the second day we roll twice more, completing our total 3 rolls for doubles. And if we don't get doubles on the second day we get to roll.
I think I read that you can roll twice a day. So you roll, and end up going to jail. You can roll once more to try and get out. Then you have to wait till the NEXT day, and can roll twice. If I understood correctly.
Yeah that's what I think too. And then you need to wait until the next day to move?
Amanda, that spreadsheet tab looks awesome!! Thanks for taking the time to do that. I think it'll be a lot of fun to look at it to see the tasks, rather than having to scroll up to the task list over and over. I love the ease of the drop-down system, too!

Exactly what I was thinking. Still filling it out. :) But almost done, I think. Just have to put in how many books need to be read for a couple of the tasks.
Under where it says Own, there's a tiny little arrow. If you click that, it has a drop-down list with all of our names. Just click the proper name when someone owns a property.
Oh cool, so you just add the person's name, rather than typing it in?And the Rent books, is that how many books you need to read if you land on a property that someone else has?
Maddison wrote: "Oh cool, so you just add the person's name, rather than typing it in?And the Rent books, is that how many books you need to read if you land on a property that someone else has?"
Yup! The Rent books are how many you need to read to pay "rent" to someone else. I've put how many books you need to read in each of the task spots.
Yeah I saw that, thanks :) Man 5 books on a dark blue for rent! That'll take me years!
You're welcome. I hope that makes things easier, so we don't keep having to go back to the first page of our thread and see which task/how many books/rent, whatever. All right there in the spreadsheet. :)I know, 5 books for rent on a blue. Eep!

You are a spreadsheet maven after my own heart. :D
Maddison wrote: "Yeah I saw that, thanks :) Man 5 books on a dark blue for rent! That'll take me years!"LOL! It gives me hope that our game won't be over in the blink of an eye. I love how each collection of properties grows in rent just like the board game. And I love that it will take us awhile to play this. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And yet, it won't be nearly as boring or annoying as a real Monopoly game that would take as long to play as it will for us to finish, hehe.
Amanda wrote: "You're welcome. I hope that makes things easier, so we don't keep having to go back to the first page of our thread and see which task/how many books/rent, whatever. All right there in the spreadsh..."Yes, brilliant. You went above and beyond what I had planned to do, lol.

So, just because I don't feel like trying to read the rules right now just to find this info at a quick glance, we have to pay rent (i.e., read 2 books, 3 books, etc, depending on the rent cost of each spot) in order to roll and move forward, correct?

But you just do the rent for an already owned space, otherwise, it's however many books are need to buy, then roll and move on.

I have been sitting here instead of reading my Life book! Shhh, don't tell Abbie, lol. I'm determined to finish before the morning update. I hope your dogs sleep in late, lol.
Thanks, Greta!Ahaha, Teresa, I'm sure they will! XD I got lucky and was able to get my Life book out of the way. But it felt weird getting it done super quick! It threw off my whole week. XD
Just looked at the spreadsheet again. WOW! This is going to help SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freaking much. Heck, the non-us-owning parts'll even help me in my other Monopoly game. Thank you so much!*goes back to reading her book, cuz she's only 2 chapters in*
