Since I just signed up yesterday, I probably won't be picked but I am hoping that I am. :)

[Karsyn]

ALL replacements have been used in teams!!

Every single one of you that signed up to this point now have a team. Please check your PMs and check in with your team ASAP. I did as good as I could with locations, but it's not ideal for some. Hopefully everyone will have fun!

[Lisa M]

eek i didn't get a PM?

I'm pretty sure you were assigned to our team: Terror Birds:-)!

I recognize your name and cat picture from the first post in the Terror Birds thread. Our new replacements' names were added recently:-).

[Lisa M]

YES! I'm a wee bit too excited :)

Karyn....could you verify that I am on a team? I've checked the list and don't see my name.

Thanks!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I can't see you on the teams s/sheet either Tammie, but have checked with the other mods and found you are on Red Pandas :)

(Sorry I on the app and can't link)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sorry ladies, with all the places to change around, the "official" sheet did not get updated. It will, at some point. If you haven't found your team, please just message mod account or Karsyn.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Thank you for the update and assigning me to team Tadir :)

[Chloe]

I think I am on the reserves list so currently do not have a team.... can I still continue reading even if I don't have a team and can it be any book?

[Tammie]

I've checked in with my team...thank you for making room for me....looking forward to this :)

It was announced that everyone on the reserves list has been now placed on a team. If you haven't already message the mod account or Karsyn to find out what team you are on.

Still waiting for a team

Chloe wrote: "Still waiting for a team"

Hey Chloe - please check your messages. We sent you a PM about 19 hours ago to let you know that as you didn't check in by the deadline you were replaced.
You are on the reserves now and we will let you know as soon as a spot is available!

[Jen]

Wow! We can start reading? But it's still the middle of the night out west! Ah well, I'm not sleepy and was wishing I could start reading, so I'm happy that I CAN start reading. :-)

[Karen Michele]

Enjoy your books, everyone!

[Vicky]

Happy Reading, Everyone! :D

[Kat (wanderfulbooks)]

[Karsyn]

There is a new list of Reserves

While all reserves HAD been initially put in teams, more reserves have signed up and we had some issues where members who didn't check in on time were replaced but are here now.

We will do what we can to place you on a team, but right now teams are full, with some still waiting on their reserves to check in. If they do not, then we can use some of the New Reserves.

Please be patient if you are waiting. Teams are based on book counts and we can't just put people on any team. You will be messaged directly by the mod account and/or your captain if you are placed on a team.

Thank you.

Battleship rules question, not sure where to post it...

Rules state: " bonus points - 1 point per book
- after task for hit square is done (2 books read), members that weren't reading that task can read book to collect extra points (page numbers still count). Maximum is 8 bonus points per hit."

Example: My team completes the task for a hit square (2 books read) and then I read a 200 page "bonus" book. Do I get 2 points for the 200 pages? 3 points for 1 book + 200 pages? Or just 1 point for 1 book?

ETA: I see the spreadsheet auto-populated 10 slots to fill in books for hits. So I'm guessing that's where the 8 bonus points come from. Then, I suppose, the only question left is: Do we get points for the # pages of the bonus books too? It seems like yes, but the "Max 8 bonus pts" is confusing me. Thanks!!

[Karsyn]

Ask it of your team captain, Ray. All questions go directly through your captains/co-captains and they know the answer to that.

[Kirsten]

9 hours in, do any teams have points yet?

Ok, thanks.

[Tati]

Kirsten, yes, there is already a team status spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

[Kirsten]

ohh... hmm, I thought we didn't get points awarded for a guess until two people finished reading books for a square...

[Karsyn]

It's just the way the spreadsheet is set up, it shows it ahead of time. I don't know if it's being changed or just staying that way. Everything about the points system (how you get them) changed with the introduction of the automated sheet. We didn't know that the sheet could be that automated.

[Tati]

btw, I gotta say, those spreadsheets are really well done! I'd never be able to do anything of the sort!

So congrats to the Spreadsheet Master (sorry, don't know who you are)

Kelly... she is totes amazing ;)

[Eldarwen]

Yesss, we're all bowing down before Kelly's skill. The spreadsheets keep getting more and more sophisticated, it's awesome! :-)

She takes spreadsheets to a completely new level!

[Kelly]

Lol. You guys are all ridiculous on the spreadsheet stuff. :-P

I think the ones for the next challenge will be simpler but we shall see once they're up and running.

[Joy]

Will we not be getting our first word before the start of Wheel-a-thon? I thought it might be helpful for planning purposes. (Also, because I will be gone this weekend and unable to get new books to read for it lol)

Captains can hit the spin new wheel on the spreadsheet. Kelly gave the green light for spins. Books can only be entered after wheelathon starts.

post-challenge chat!

Thank you mods, fellow NBRCers, especially those who volunteers to captain & co-captain the teams, and of course the mods again for such an awesome challenge. There were highs (killing things ), lows (reading Death Wore Brown Shorts) and most of all lots and lots of fun!

So, thank you all for making it so :)

Big question now: when's the next one?! and can we add team RPG to the roster of awesome team challenges? can we can we can we, pleeeeeeeeeeese!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Ditto to everything Catherine said. This was an awesome challenge. I can't wait to see what you lovely Mods come up with next but I have to say I will definitely miss this challenge and hope to see it pop up again and will definitely miss my awesome Team Tarpirs ladies. They are an awesome group of ladies.

[Sonia]

Thanks ladies. RL messed my wobble time, so I can't take much credit but I'm telling you Kelly was OUTSTANDING!!!

:)

[Maritza]

I so enjoyed this challenge. What will I do now? Wait for next team challenge of course.
