BONUS LABOR 52


King Eurystheus accidentally tipped over his puzzle and it scattered everywhere. Of course he's blaming you. Help him piece it back together or you'll never hear the end of it.
Send a screenshot of the completed puzzle to the mod account.

[Eldarwen]

And I think we're out for that one. We don't have enough in the bank to even consider finishing up this one.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Oh, come on E, where is your sense of Adventure?

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Are you stay up till the end of Labour's to get all the books in?

Just asking cause I won't be done with mine until you are normally in bed.

[Eldarwen]

I'm waiting for ST to finish the farm book and I'm hoping for a good bonus from that one!! ;-)

[Eldarwen]

Nah, not staying up. The deadline is midday my time, 11am V's time.

K will be around to put stuff on the spreadsheet while V and I are sleeping and us Europeans will put the rest on the spreadsheet once we're up in the morning.

[Eldarwen]

Alright, I'm taking a bit of a reading break, I'll be back around a little later. In about an hour or so. :-)

[Ghost in the Stacks]

FYI, my books is I Am Princess X, by Cherie Priest for Pink Dress...just in case you want to add the title I to the spreadsheet

[K~Terror]

I didn't see Abbie was reading a book until I had downloaded and started one. It has a yellow and a pink dress on the cover so we can either use it or bank it. I've got maybe an hour and a half left on it.

Work has been brutal this week and haven't been able to check in as often as I'd like.

TGIF

[K~Terror]

Excellent job on the puzzle E!

[Alexandria]

Fjoi%7w@(# I had two people quit by just not showing up today. Anybody want a job in Wisconsin? haha Looking forward to finding out about the new challenge. *sits and waits*

Also great job on finishing strong guys!

[K~Terror]

What in the world???!!!!! That sounds like a lot of fun, Alex - UGH! This week I'd be tempted... but I think the commute might be more than what I'm used to....

[Ghost in the Stacks]

K, no worries, how about who finished First log it, and then we will just bank the other.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I have about the same amount of time left in mine, so we will finish around the same time anyways

[K~Terror]

Sounds groovy! Plus, we'll have an extra in case LaurLa gets hit with RL on her book.

[LaurLa]

I started mine but I won't finish until late late tonight because I'll be at the football game. If you want to use yours, K, and bank mine, I'm fine with that.

[Eldarwen]

Good to have options! And first come first serve is a good way to go for this, especially since the other(s) won't be lost.

WTF?!
People are such idiots sometimes!!
It's a bit of a commute for me though, so I think I'll pass but thanks ;-)

[VNerdbooks]

i can do the writer on the new bonus if we are doing it, I'm nearly finished Smut which would work

[Alexandria]

People are ridiculous. It's so cowardly too.

Hmm...maybe I should start looking to hire people in my area...

[Eldarwen]

If we don't finish the entire labor, we won't get any points for completed books in the labor.

So my suggestion would be the following: fill the book into our planning spreadsheet as an option just in case some more team members go absolutely reading nuts in the next 12 hours.

If we don't manage to fill in the complete labor, don't input the books on the official spreadsheet. We're losing out if we're "using" them without actually getting points for the individual books in a started bonus.

Anything left in the bank from Labors as well as anything we had in the bank from before can be used in this last upcoming event.

[Eldarwen]

The status on when the new rules will be up and when the countdown for the new event will go up is still "soon".

I'm off to bed now, so keep your eyes peeled!

IMPORTANT
Read the rules carefully. Read them slowly. If you're confused, read them again. If you're still confused, let it settle a while and only then start asking questions.
Once we start playing and once we see the way the spreadsheet is set up, all should be clear.
Basically - do what we did so far :-)

[Eldarwen]

Also, sorry folks but I'm not done yet with the horse book. I'll go to bed now to get another peaceful hour or so of reading in, then I'll finish up the rest in the morning before I'm off to do some shopping.

It will be done, just unfortunately not in time to request a further bonus that could potentially be sort of useful.

Good night ladies and happy reading!!

12 more hours!!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Pink dress is done

[K~Terror]

Woo Hoo! Mine too.

I'm not going to add until green dress is done.

[VNerdbooks]

Rules are up guys!!

remember to read, read again, and then shake hihr head a few times and reread haha

[Snowtulip]

Farm book is done!

[Snowtulip]

Hhhmm, can't add to spreadsheet, says I have view access only...so if someone could add Farm book, it would be appreciated!

[Snowtulip]

So...if we were working another bonus...just throwing it out there that one of my banked books could work for "loses everything" - losses his boyfriend, furniture, condo.

And I'm almost done with another book that would fit for tight knit group of friends.

[Snowtulip]

The new event is like the one that Emma kept trying to explain to me ;)

I think she said I'd get it once we started playing :D

[Jessica]

Hiya team! I spent all day at a music festival but came back to the hotel and finished the last book I was working on. It is on my shelf, but I can't add it to the SS. I'll be out of commission the rest of the weekend (it's a 3 day festival). Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!!!

[Eldarwen]

Enjoy the festival, Jessica!! Sounds like fun times! :-)
You'll have to tell us more once you're back in commission hehe.

[K~Terror]

My son came home today for his fall break so haven't been near my computer all night. Weird! I think I can still access our s/s from my phone so will update your guys's finished books! E said she can toss them on the official in the morning.

Have fun Jessica - sounds like a great time!!!

Oh ST, that's exactly what I said to V about the new challenge too. Where's Emma when we need her??!! Crazy days to come in sure!

And our washer broke this week. We finally got someone out to look at it and found out it's almost as much to buy new as to fix. So had to go out tonight and find another one. They can't deliver until Monday though.. did I mention my son is home?? He and his backseat full of dirty clothes...

Good to know, thanks! We'll see what the new bonus tasks will bring!

Now, off to take a shower, and then I'm going to finish my horse book.

[Eldarwen]

Oooh K, that sucks that the washed broke at such a time!! :-/ Worst timing ever for your son especially hehe.

Hopefully you can work something out so he doesn't have to go back with all the dirty clothes!

[K~Terror]

I suggested he take his laundry and drop it off at his dad's... lol!


That big bonus would have been a fun one too!!!!

[Eldarwen]

Good suggestion, yes!! ;-)

And agreed, that big one would have been fun! :-)

[Eldarwen]

The gods have sent a missive and King Eurystheus is having trouble interpreting it. Can you help him find the hidden message?

This is serious business,
this reading stuff,
Once you read one book
then two books just isn't enough.
Your floor will be covered with stacks and stacks
of books where once there were knickknacks.
I never knew beFOUR that
one book only makes you want more.
