Jaghut Guardians Year 2!
Mod
We are going to announce the teams tomorrow after double checking everything and cleaning up the folder, but get EXCITED!"
You don't get to announce my team.
Mod
Not sure why I would announce next year's 4th place team.
Pretty sure I clearly said winning team. ;)

You should name your team The Toronto Maple Leafs.

Hahaha "they'll win next year!" - said every Maple Leafs fan since 1967.
Haha the teams haven't been announced yet but the trash talk has already begun 😂😂
It will be interesting to see where everyone ends up??????

Sad to see you go, former Jaghuts. You can always sabotage your new teams #jaghutforever

4 Jaghut Guardians Alumni
2 Blood Eagles
2 Tome Raiders
2 House of Chains
2 Wildcards
Total 2018 points of new team: 7449.1
Total points 2018 overall: 35,391.2
25% of 2018 points: 8,847.8
Editorial Comments: A trend seems to be emerging, where teams prefer Alums over new blood...
Again, at first glance, the 2018 points look bad, but as I'm going to keep repeating here, the rules changes are significant in 2019 (33% BR, 10% challenge, and 1.25x pages for non-audio)... pair that with 2 late-starters in 2018, and 2 complete wildcards, and this team could go far...
NOTE: I'm having fun writing these :D

EDIT: Forgot the team leaders... even more important with this team... makes my commentary even more accurate, with them added :)

Haha, nice try. But I will sure stop by here from time to time, when I get a little Jaghut-homesick. Especially after I will finally read Malazan next year and find out what Yaghuts are :D
Good luck next year (view spoiler)
I will miss my Blood Eagles, but am excited to be a Jaghut!! This is our (Azath) House!Thank you for not picking me last, Jenna and Angela!
Mod
Awww <3 We will miss you! See you in the Malazan read! :)

Welcome to the team Jess! ^_^ we're so happy with our team!
(It's all in alphabetical order by the way Tammie - you were not picked last)
Mod
I'm happy to be on the same team again. This time, I will be able to play for the full year.
Mod
All of the best houses are dead...right? :)
Hello, teammates! I guess I need to get Malazan in so I can get the team names. lol
Mod
Glad to have you back, Slytherpuff!
Mod
Welcome Soo! Happy to have you on the Jaghut Guardians! :D
I will probably actually have more time to read once I graduate from high school before college.
I forgot this was happening today. I'm looking forward to being on this team, although I may keep looking for my name under Blood Eagles on the scorecard for a while. Old habits are hard to break haha.Jenna wrote: "(It's all in alphabetical order by the way Tammie - you were not picked last)..."
I'm so happy to know that haha.
Mod
Welcome to the team, Tammie :)
I just wanna say that I should really be listed as Secret Agent. =D LOL
Mod
Hahaha your wish is my command. Check the top post again. :)

I was editting them in... I miss about 20 minutes of time, compiling the stats and commentating :)
I finished yours, went and checked the response to Scott's, saw my mistake, fixed both, and moved on to Niki's/mine... now I'm checking again... then on to Blood Eagles, if they have a thread, yet...

Yes, I saw it now! So interesting :) Thanks for updating!
Soo wrote: "I just wanna say that I should really be listed as Secret Agent. =D LOL"I was thinking that... if you read similar to this year, you're gonna add 1500 points or so... you read as much as I do, but 50/50 audio/reading... and you don't Buddy Read as much, for flexibility...

I clearly didn't appreciate the people that didn't sign up for year 2, in my comments... because if everybody DID sign up, Margret got a very strong lineup... last one left to write up, and everybody has been under their 2018 total, so far...
I've never used audio before and have only read one ebook. I'm happy about that change because it will be easier for me to get more points.
Looks like you got Diana and Elizabeth from the Raiders in exchange for me and Angela Jr.Good luck you two.
I can’t seem to find my name anywhere?What happened
Mod
What happened"
Hey Frank! I just ran through the Year 2 Signups again and unless I am blind, you didn't sign up for this year...?
Double check here in case I really am blind -

Mod
Yay!!! We are so happy to have you back :)
I must have I was speaking with all sometime ago and said I was going to do it, merde, did I forget to go on the list!!!Now what do I do???
I am so sorry to create a problem for everyone.
Mod
Now what do I do???
I am so sorry to create a problem for everyone."
We'll figure it out. I just let the mods know what is going on.
Scott wrote: "Manju and Bill the HoC will miss you. I'm sure Jenna's Deadhouse will be a happy home."Thanks Scott. Glad I ended up with another Malazan themed team.
Mod
Thanks Scott. Glad I ended up with another Malazan themed team."
Welcome to the Jaghuts, Bill! :)
Thanks Jenna. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better.
I think we're down about 20 people from last year, and picked up about 10 new people... last year there were 65 people... this year there are 51 at the moment...Looking at the old spreadsheet, I think we lost anyone who earned less that 100 points (not because we don't accept low numbers, but because those people don't check into Goodreads much, or disappear / never showed up in the first place)... and the rest bowed out of year 2, to focus on other things...
Mod
Hey Frank, we're going to wait a bit and see if anyone else forgot to sign up/wants to sign up at the last minute so while you might not be assigned a team for a while, we didn't forget about you!
Mod
Hi Elizabeth, welcome to the team! :)
Jenna, thank you, was just responding to Iain.By the way did anyone else from Jaghut last year drop off?
