Could a thread be made in this folder for the countdown seeing as every few posts someone asks when this is starting?

[Karsyn]

Done! :) I meant to earlier but took a nap instead. LOL!

So y'all ~ pop quiz -

What comes next, as sign-ups are ready to close?!?!

If you mean you're told what team you are on, no, not quite yet. Not much longer though!

Actual forming of the teams has been an ongoing process since signups began. With 300+ signups it takes a while to play "People Tetris" (as Karen calls it) putting everyone in teams so that average book counts (per month) are similar.

[Greta]

Hmm, another activity to keep us busy??

[Maya]

Let's spell WOBBLE like the cool kids spell YMCA!

Nope. My brain cells are friend FRIED (see, told ya!), I can't think of anything new right now. :)

Yeah, that would be great. I'd even go for another Read-a-thon

They do if they are in the form of Tetris pieces. ;)

[Catherine]

I vote a "cram all the books you can read"-a-thon....lol...

[Catherine]

Or....a..."help a girl out" ( have you seen my list?)-a-thon....to get some of the books onto my "read" list...lol...although..for every book I read...I think my list sprouts about 10-20 more!!!

[Greta]

More game details?

lol...so your saying we're all just "pieces" to you?!?!? I thought we were all soft and squishable

[Karsyn]

No one has guessed yet....

Come on veterans. You know what would have to come next, right?

Maybe we can come up with something fun to pass the time next weekend. Sprints, or a read-a-thon, or maybe a TBR builder post. :)

Karsyn....one thing I don't need is TBR building help!!! My list is growing all on it's own by leaps and bounds!!! lol. I tell everyone "enter at your own risk!"

Hooray! Thanks, Karsyn. :) So for those of us on the east coast of USA, looks like it starts at 6am on the 17th.

Or those on the west coast, 3am...not much before I get up for work.

Well, I'm not much of a veteran here, so not sure what comes next, but what about naming the captains?

[Karsyn]

Since I'm headed to bed, I will share what is next....

Captains and co-captains will start to be notified on.... Tues, May 31st!

That's right, teams are 98% done, so next up, notifying captains & co-captains.

Now, who wants to guess teams theme and/or team names?
(There recently was a hint to the theme, somewhere.....)

:)

[Catherine]

FUDGE?!?!?!? lol

Yay! Correct. And you posted while i was slow typing on my tablet. We won't be just naming captains in a thread or anything, but notifying them comes next! :)

[Kazen]

Themes? There was a mention of People Tetris, so maybe video games?

~muses~

Kazen wrote: "Themes? There was a mention of People Tetris, so maybe video games?

Nope. (Though I'll seriously have to bring it up next time.)

There's been (at least for several of the team challenges) themes to the teams. TTIV was Ancient Gods. Before that there has been Gems, Anagrams, Pirates..... different themes.

[Linda C]

Theme:
veteran - Wars?
sprint - Olympics? Races?
builder - Construction?

[Vicky]

Does the theme have anything to do with amusement parks?

[Karsyn]

Linda C wrote: "Theme:

Nope. Oddly enough, it really doesn't tie into anything of Wobble. It was just kind of random..... (that's Sonia for you. Shhhh, don't tell her I said that!)

[Karsyn]

Vicky wrote: "Does the theme have anything to do with amusement parks?"

Nope, but another good idea for the future. :)

[Tati]

Candy?

[♦Ashley♦]

Knights?

[Kirsten]

Fruits or veggies?

[Karsyn]

Nope, nope & nope! :)

Everyone's obsessed with food here, so maybe that should be it sometime! ;)

[Miranda]

I hope I signed up before the close of this challenge I'm excited to do this

1st round of signups are open through the 31st, so you're good! :) Welcome to the Wobble madness! :)

[Jen]

Team Themes:

Animals? I was thinking Dogs but Animals could work... Team Grizzly Bear? Team African Lion? Team Gray Wolf? Team Sumatran Tiger? :-)

Or maybe Storm-related? Team Lightning Bolt? Team Growling Thunder? Team Hail Storm? Team Snow Blizzard? :-)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

On a similar note how about Geographical Features - eg Mighty Mountain, Cascading Waterfalls, Tropical Desert Island, Icy Tundra...

[Karsyn]

Well done Jen! We have a correct answer. :)

Which ONE of her two suggestions? Well, as I said, there's a bit of a clue.... somewhere..... perhaps in questions asked recently? I could have sworn I asked it, or was it under another name? ;)

[[deleted user]]

I think it would be awesome if it was a storm related theme, so I'm hoping it's that one :)

Wow! Really? How very exciting!!! As for which, I have no idea. My memory is pretty awful and I can't remember seeing any potential clues. ;-)

[Diane Woods]

I'm going back through right now to see if I can find anything!

Did that, for the 2nd Wheel-a-Thon.

[Karsyn]

~Michelle~ wrote: "Kazen mentioned birds and rabbits???"

When was that mentioned? Hmmmm. Doesn't have anything to do with the clue I speak of, but it's interesting. :)

[Michelle's Empty Nest]

During the language discussion here. :)
