Not that you can ever have too many friends, but the one downside of all these team challenges is that after a while you want to be on the same team as everyone else :-)

Hi Bethany! I'm here too. 8-) I signed up to be a Captain so maybe you can be my co- captain and we can figure it out together. *grin

There goes my idea for a 50 person team, then. ;)

I'd happily be on a 50 person team with you!

(Didn't we have very large teams for the first round of TT? Or were we just so few people playing that we didn't need that many teams?)

Only 4 teams... and HUGE ones.

It was fun... but we also did validations by hand. I was a co-captain for A-team.. believe me, it was hard work :D

I loved it... but we decided smaller teams was better for next time.

Oh yeah, I wasn't a captain or co-captain for that one :-) I can only imagine the hassle of trying to manage that big of a team.

If anyone could manage a 50 person team, it's you MH, the spreadsheet queen!

[Becky ♡The Bookworm♡]

Howdy Tower Teamies!!!!

Woohoo - it's baaaaack!!! Thank goodness! I've been wandering a little aimlessly since WOBBLE. It's hard for me to pick a book without some sort of theme. Individual challenges help, but team challenges are a lot more fun!

I'm looking forward to being co-captain again and meeting a few new friends!

[Bety]

Is there any way to confirm our sign-up was received? I had a bad dream last night where the challenge started but my submission never went through, lol.

[Karen ♐]

If you look in the All About Tower Teams thread, at the bottom of the page is a link to see if you were added.

Hi Becky, glad you found your way here! I still miss WOBBLE and am excited for a new game to start.

[Megan]

Just had a little look at the sign up list and over 250 sign ups already! That's so awesome! Excitinggg.

[Mary X]

I want to start shelving books and plan already. But it's too early. Maybe I'll make a TTV to read shelf to make myself feel prepared.

[Ipshita]

Hi everyone! I've been a little out of touch with goodreads lately. I'm hoping TTV will give me the impetus to check in regularly :)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sign Ups received from this point onwards will be put on a reserve list.
That means we will add you to a team when a spot becomes available, or we will create a new team if/when enough new sign ups are received

Oh, already. Glad I signed up in the right time. Seems popular this time around!

[MelanieJoy]

Can I switch my chatty team preference to doesn't matter?

Thanks!

[Mary X]

Yay! That means teams are coming soon.

[Rebecca]

Ahhhhhh teams are coming!

[Sonia]

[Tori]

A bit.

Also in the middle of a handover process and Easter is also a busy time.

Awww

Well.. after a process that involved hair pulling, cursing, playing excel version of tetris (with some game overs hence the hair pulling and cursing), a mental breakdown and an incursion to the licor cabinet, I am pleased to announce that every single sign-up till the current time scored a place on the game.

*collapses on the floor*

Now, my reward is NO DROP OUTS and CHECK INS ON TIME.
Seriously, don't make me turn to the dark side of the force and chase you!

Anyway, some administrative work will be needed before teams are posted, like naming the teams, creating the captains group and make sure that all captains are accounted for.

So give us a couple of days more. The fun will start soon.

Oh.... in case you miss it on the other thread, here's the countdown

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Yay Sonia! Sorry it took a lot out of you ;-)

[Elena]

Ummmmmm, maybe one drop out... Just kidding! :) Just signed up and I am sorry for being late to the party, hopefully there will be enough people for one more team :)

Pshaw! That is your FUN side, Sonia! :P :P

[Sonia]

Well, the buzzfeed test said I was Anakin Skywalker Sooooooo...

*hunts down the buzzfeed link to take test*...

Totally got Yoda ... WHICH MEANS...

you if wise are, put me on the winning team you will.

[Mary X]

I want to be on Darth Vader's team.

[Shannon]

Sonia wrote: "Well, the buzzfeed test said I was Anakin Skywalker Sooooooo..."

Hmmmm....I got Han Solo. ;)

[Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady]

I got Luke Skywalker. We have the whole crew here it seems 8-)

[♦Ashley♦]

I got Leia...
You got: Princess Leia
You’re one of the most elegant, kick ass, heartwarming princesses of the galaxy. You’re faithful, strategic, and will stop at nothing to keep the one’s you love safe.

[Bety]

Woo, I got Leia too! Though I was convinced I would end up with jarjar.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Luke Here also.

[Shanna_redwind]

Luke here too

[Caroline]

I got Yoda... loll :)

[❀Tea❀]

Another Han Solo here. No idea how :)

Worry not, you always will be a hobbit to me :P

[❀Tea❀]

Sonia wrote: "Worry not, you always will be a hobbit to me :P"

lol
I know. I can't shake it off :P

And it started following me in RL too. Few months ago, there was huge crowd and we had to get to other side of it. So my friend told me he can toss me over like Aragorn did Gimli, but since I'm little shorter and not hairy enough, it'll be more like tossing hobbit than dwarf. I started laughing like crazy. And then I had to explain why :) Now I'm getting hobbit jokes from time to time *eye-roll*

[Sonia]

Must not laugh out lout at work... must not laugh out laud at work

oh gawd... I'm tearing up with the effort of trying not to laugh...

*wipes tears*

*tries for a serious face*

You have no-one to blame but Crayola colors and fate!

[Sonia]

Speaking of fate, today is my last day at the client's site, and I just got some emails from our clients that are always met with excitement from my part... so I manage to keep my reaction to your post unnoticed.

Score!

[✿~Danielle~✿]

I got chewbacca

Glad I managed to cheer you up and that you found excuse for it:P

Oh no. I know exactly who or what to blame. It's all Kili's fault!
