Elsbeth (elsbethgm) | 328 comments I want to say a big thank you to the people who put so much work in this! It was wonderful and I really enjoyed this!

I'll sure miss my fellow Green Dragons :(
I'm looking forward to my next team-challenge, but first I'll just enjoy reading time all for myself ;)

Linda C (libladynylindac) | 913 comments Repeat message I posted on the pre-game page before this was set up.

This was by far my favorite team challenge, including the length. I didn't want it to end.
Thanks to all the Mods for its creation and hard work keeping things going. And thanks to the captains of the Flying Squirrels, who kept us organized. I wish I could take my team intact to the next challenge.
I'm ready!

Shanna_redwind | 598 comments This was a lot of fun. A big shout out to the mods and to the captains and co-captains who kept everything running smoothly and both the game and the teams organized and fun.

Can't wait for another challenge. I've never played any of those challenges before and this was such a great introduction to them.


Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady | 596 comments I echo all the previous sentiments. A big THANK YOU and kudos to the NBRC staff for coming up with an awesome game and for running it so smoothly.
I most definitely did not want it to end. I joined in after the initial start but the Red Pandas welcomed me with open arms and I had the best time ever. It also helped me to not only finish my Reading Goals for 2016 but beat it by 18 books!

I can not wait for the next team challenge because I know that whatever the Mods come up with it will be great. Most of all I hope to see some of my Red Pandas teammates on my next team.

HUZZAH!

This was great fun, so many different components and tasks,

Huge thank you to the spreadsheet goddess, you are truly amazing!

We're looking at Januaryish but we're not sure yet. We have the basic plan outlined but still need to do a lot of finalizations before we're ready to announce things.

Kathy | 211 comments Thank you MODS for this wonderful Challenge of W.O.B.B.L.E.
I will miss my teammates from the Woodcutters Werewolves. This game not only challenge me in my reading, read genres that I have never read before and not only did I meet my reading goal for 2016 but have read 100 books for this challenge that is more books I have read in any given year.
I can't wait for the next reading event!!

Do we have the results of this game and when will it be posted?

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6397 comments Thanks Mods and a special thank you to the Captains and Co- Captains who kept us players on the straight and narrow.

Roll on January...ready for another Mega Challenge.

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5922 comments I loved this challenge too except i still do not understand EMERGE - fortunately the team captains did. I have formed some great friendships with the Dholes and we will roll on as friends into 2017.

A big thank you to our Mod Squad for dreaming this up, putting it together, organizing 24 different teams of over 300 people, and pulling this off. That in itself is amazing.

And thank you for assigning me as captain of a wonderful group of women (GO FLYING SQUIRRELS!!) and blessing me with 2 awesome co-captains.

On that note, we'd like to keep our team intact for the next group challenge. Haha, kidding.

Actually, not really kidding. That's on my list to Santa :)


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments 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.


message 14: by Foxy Grandma (new)

Foxy Grandma (foxygrandma) | 450 comments I want to say a big thank you to the Moderators and Team Captains for all their hard work on this challenge. There were days my family thought I was a little too "into" this challenge. I am sure there were many more sacrifices for them.

You are all amazing and it has been a true joy being part of this challenge.

Thank you again.

I agree totally.


message 16: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments My plans right now are to automate the signup process. Depending on how things go I might be able to get preferences added into the process.

We're hoping we can do this so we can run more team challenges without as much overhead. This also lets us run shorter challenges where we don't have as much turnover.

These are all still dreams at this point though, so I'm not sure how much I can get working.


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments I'm with Judith on my Christmas wish list of keeping my ladies on Team Tarpir. They were an awesome bunch and Plethora was a great Co-Capt. She's been my backup every step of the way. I'd love to have her as my co-captain for future challenges as well.

Thank you Mods for your awesomeness. You ladies keep up going and come up with some great challenges that keeps us coming back for more. Also want to give a Mega Thumbs Up to our great, great Almighty Spreadsheet Master! You have kept us moving, updated and Wowed with your skills. Thank you.

I'm with you on that!!!! I totally did NOT understand the EMERGE concept (I'm not a gamer nor have I ever played any RPGs so maybe that's why it made no sense to me). However, luckily at least a few people on my team understood so I just went with it and read what i was going to read and helped where it seemed I could help!

Thank you so much to the Mods for running such a smooth long-lasting challenge...often when things run more than a few months people tend to lose interest, but it seemed so many people stayed engaged until the end! That's a testament to the organization and planning that was put into this. Also, thank you to all of the Team Captains/Co-Captains for keeping us all organized and getting our questions answered! It was a lot of work, so thank you for all the time you put in!

Chava | 1522 comments Awesome challenge! Thanks to the mods. I'm eager to find out what the next challenge is, I have a bit of challenge addiction...

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Much love to my Flying Squirrels team :)

Did anyone else have a hard time trying to find/read a book after Wobble ended? Geez, it took me almost 3 days to read a 100 page book (usually would've taken less than a day). Weird getting into a more leisurely reading pace!

For any teams continuing with wobble, please head over here if you need help with your spreadsheets.

I can unlock anything you want in the spreadsheets.

Lol, sure. I think I can get any of them back up and working. Though there won't be new content since I'm putting my time into the next thing.


message 32: by Tati (new)

Tati | 1350 comments have the challenge folders been archived?

:( Ok I guess we'll work with what we have.


message 34: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments No new content just means the existing list of tasks or pictures or whatever would be the same as before.

But if you wanted (for example) play Bingo, you'd still get new cards.

No, I don't think so. What are you looking for?

Ok we're good with that :)


message 37: by Tati (new)

Tati | 1350 comments I just can't seem to find the folders, I was wanting to check if the final stats had been posted, is all

I am still having trouble, but for me it had more to do with my devastation over the election and what we have to look forward to. Couldn't even focus when reading.


message 39: by Emily (new)

Emily | 440 comments I know this is silly and the mods are very busy (Thank You, by the way! Wobble was Amazing!) but are there going to be gem coins awarded for participation? I need something to keep myself entertained now that Wobble is over, and obsessing about pretty pretty stones helps.
