Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 121 comments I missed the HP themed TT, too. I'd play quidditch! (Although, I don't really know what I'm getting myself into.......)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 2715 comments Hope you mods are ready to play Quidditch. Technically if 4 of the mods commit to playing, then we would have 20 players plus 2 maybes....


The two maybes are conditional.
-one is a teacher so depends on when the game is played
-the other says her reading is down and would need a position for a slower reader.

edit: make that 3 mods - just got another yes ; )

My reading is down too but I guess that means my current version of "challenge mode" would be like most people's normal reading. ;D

Ok, no assumptions and the number of players seems to be no issue. I'm glad to know that we are all mad here.

Judy | 4065 comments I'd be in for quidditch - got absolutely nothing to do these days anyway 😂

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12853 comments Woohoo! We don't need to read insane page number books for quidditch, right? I've been keeping a couple in reserve, but I'm enjoying reading more than one book a week at the moment, lol.

I read some bigger books last time but the majority were between 100 -150 pages.

Tammie | 4553 comments If you need another player, I’ll play...I’m seeing this is likely one weekend a month and I’m good with that...I can’t have this taking over my life like the last time...it was fun, but a bit too much at once...a weekend is a good level I think. I’d love for specific dates to be decided...that would be awesome...I was a beater last time...would consider being a chaser this round.

Cat (cat_uk) | 10094 comments Mod
right, crazy people, take your quidditch nonsense over here

It's rough and ready right now, but hopefully will help you sort out teams and such like.

Give me a shout if you need a hand. Though I will most certainly not be playing or even narrating this again.

Lemme share a little secret...

While plotting a HP themed Tower Teams, one little mod had to play driver to a kid's birthday party, whilst sick as a dog, and having to stay isolated because she had a conjunctivitis threatening to hit both eyes... plus no voice, drugged to the gilds and felling pretty miserable. (It was in a complicated part of town and the other adult, didn't drive that much back then).

Anyway, in this state, what does she decide to do? let's open a blank notebook and start drafting quidditch roles & how to apply reading to them

So yeah, if quidditch looks so awesomely insane, it's because its origin was also a crazy and insane one.

Well, we love our slightly insane game and the slightly insane mod that came up with it!

Not to mention the a little more insane mod that took over the game when the crazy one retired.

Chava | 1522 comments @Sonia & @Donna, and we will be forever grateful for your sacrifices. (Best TT EVER!!!)


message 524: by Donna (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 2715 comments Sacrifices? The only thing I remember sacrificing was sleep but it was worth it! LOL

Chava | 1522 comments LOL! It was my favourite so far

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments i have been in a slump since last fall basically and i am finally feeling like i am starting to come out of it in this last round of wheel. bring on the tower teams! lol


message 539: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12853 comments A short break in between challenges, pretty please! lol.

My house is a tip and my family have forgotten what I look like without headphones on :D


message 540: by Christina (new)

Christina (chrissy__) | 3007 comments But I don't want wheel to end, so I already want a new team challenge to start to keep my interest going!! Lol

Eldarwen | 13645 comments Mod
Hehehe - understandable.

There will be something, do not fear!

But I am not going to divulge any details ;-)


message 542: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments I always say I want a break but then a week after a team challenge ends, I'm trolling goodreads groups like an addict looking for a fix.


message 543: by Devann (new)

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments yeah i definitely need some time to read some books under 100 pages without feeling guilty before towers would start lol


message 544: by Alysa (new)

Alysa H. | 3840 comments Haha, ditto both Mary and Devann.


message 545: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Since I kinda overdid myself, I'm with Sammy... a little break would be good.


message 546: by Jessi (new)

Jessi (jazzykitty) | 1644 comments I think I need at least a month or two of a break. I think I’ve done one team challenge after the other since Towers and I want to read things without worrying about letters and cover colors lol
