[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Hi gals, this is going to be SO much fun.

[Moondance]

Hello! I'm Cheryl and this is my first time playing. I'm looking forward to the game.

[Carolin]

Hi :)
I'm Carolin and it's my first time too. Can't wait to get started!

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Hey, Gals, I have played a lot of different team challenges in a bunch or different groups, but this is my first Super Series Challenge also.

[Shan ~A~]

Hi teammates. Wow!! I love the way the challenge looks (really fun) this time around.

Who is going to be our captain?

[Emeli]

hi i'm emeli and this will.we be my first time playing

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

So all we are missing is Mary.

If none of you wants to be Captain, I can step up. I have been a co-captain in a lot of other groups, so I am sure I can figure it all out.

[Shan ~A~]

Alison that would be great in my opinion.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Shan ~ A ~ wrote: "Alison that would be great in my opinion."

If you have played this before then you might need to keep an eye out to make sure I get stuff correct.
:-)
This is different from our last game together.

[Mary X]

Hello! Sorry, I went on an overnight trip. I'm good with Allison being captain.

I've played in almost every round and I think I was a captain last time. So if you need a back-up one Friday I can do that.

[Mary X]

I feel unprepared for this round. Normally I have a whole bunch of next in series books of various numbers since I get most of mine from the library. But I haven't had time this round.

Ok, I will step up, but yes I might be asking you and Shan for help, and or if you see something I miss or mess up please for the team's sake speak up.
:-)

Hope you had fun on your overnight.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

So......
Do we want to name our team or just be "Team 6"?

[Carolin]

I would like a name :) I am not very creative though :D
Maybe something with 6?
Like The Sixth Sense
666 - The Number of the Beast (thats pretty dark though probably the Iron Maiden fan talking here)
Summer of 69 (it's round 9 of SS and it's (almost) summer :) )
Maybe something book related?
The only obvious that comes to my mind is
Six of Crows
or something more subtle like
The Magician's Nieces (The Magician's Nephew is part six of Narnia) - we are girls only right?
Those are just a few things that come to my mind I am very happy if you have better ideas :)

[Moondance]

I tried a name generator and didn't get anything I liked. I like Summer of 69 combining our team and the round. Six of Crows is good too.

[Mary X]

Summer of 69 is good.

6 is the first "perfect number" (all it's divisors add up to itself).
6 is the symbol for Venus.
6 in Tarot cards is the Lover.


Henry VIII had 6 wives.

Just some fun facts about the #6 if anyone can make a name out of those.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

I like "Summer of 69"
But hey, it is a special year for me. Just please don't do the math on how old that makes me. ;-)
...and cool facts on the "6" Mary, do you also know about 9?

Unless Emelie or Shan dislike it, or someone comes up with something we all love even better, I say we go with that.

[Mary X]

I was conceived in 1969 so it was a good year for me too.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Mary: Harry Dresden's Love Slave wrote: "I was conceived in 1969 so it was a good year for me too."

Sweet!! So just a little younger than me.
:-)

[Emeli]

summer of 69 is fine with me because i love the song and my mother was born in 1969

[Shan ~A~]

Summer of 69 is fine with me also.

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Emelie wrote: "summer of 69 is fine with me because i love the song and my mother was born in 1969"

lol!!! Now I really feel old.

Ok, I will message Ezinwanyi, and ask for the name change and tell her I am the default captain. ;-)

Yeah i get how you feel my mom was only twenty when i was born so when i turn 30 she will.be fifty

[Carolin]

My parents fell in love in that summer :D

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Carolin wrote: "My parents fell in love in that summer :D"

:-)

[Mary X]

I don't know why but for some reason I woke up thinking this started today. Probably because it's new shelf day in bookshelf bingo. That and I was putting some library books on hold for this.

[Moondance]

I'm looking forward to staring. I've never played so I'm a little nervous. I read pretty much anything so I'm sure that I will be able to come up with something to fit the roll of the dice.

[Moondance]

Me too! I was 9 years old in the Summer of 69.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Just so scandalous! I'm watching you seductresses

Ok gals
I plan on doing the roll before I head to bed tomorrow, being I am in California it will only be 10 pm for me when the countdown in Texas hits midnight.

I think I will post it in the Thread, and also keep track of the weekly rolls in Message #5.

Hope that works.

Ack. I don't know if I have either of those handy but I'll find something. Time to go to Fictfact.

Mary: Harry Dresden's Love Slave wrote: "Ack. I don't know if I have either of those handy but I'll find something. Time to go to Fictfact."

Sorry, good luck.
That is a great site to keep track of just series books. I am so glad that they e-mail me reminders so I can not forget to update mine every few weeks.

[Mary X]

I'm apparently not at #5 in any series I can easily get a book for so I'll check out a the alternate option.

Annoyed with myself because I just read a #5 in a series.

[Mary X]

Never mind! I found something.

[Moondance]

Week: 1
Roll: 5
5th book in series
Book: Succubus Shadows by Richelle Mead

[Alison (Lady Coffin)]

Ok Gang
It looks like we need to make "selection posts" in addition to the "Completion Posts" example linked in message 40 above

If you could do something similar to what Moondance did above that would be great.
Info Needed:
~ task: are you reading for the alternate task or series task, if series what number.
~ book: cover or title link is fine, but please do link it to the version you are reading. Also, the author would be appreciated. (If you want to include the series name and # that would be fine.)
~ page count: this way it is verified that you are meeting the min, or if you might get us a bonus point for a book over 500 pages*

Thank you!
I will do mine as soon as I actually make up my mind on a book.
:-\

* One point can be earned One point can be earned for reading a book that > 500 pages
* Other bonus points are listed under NEW FEATURE: Bonus Points ~ (A little past half way in this message.)
