The alternates:
Each number corresponds with the spot on the board.
For colors: The cover has to be at least 50%
For locations: As long as the book takes part at all in the given location .
For Shelves: Any book on the given shelf
For Publication Years: I'll be using how GR has it's publication date listed.
For Authors Names: The first, middle, or last name of the author is ok.
For Cover Items: Must have the given item on the cover
For Titles: Only the first word of the title. A, An, And, and The do not count.
So if the letter is B: The Best Day would be ok. Dear Betty would not be ok.

Hey Team! **waves**
This is my first time doing this so I'll do my best to keep up. I hear this game is a lot of fun so can't wait to get started!

[Elena]

Hello Team! Another newcomer here, looking forward to meeting you all and playing!

[Apoorv]

.. that makes it three !
A brand-new player of this challenge here..

Hi Teamies ! *hi5*

Excited.. Intrigued.. Glad ! :)

[Paris]

Hi all! This is my first time playing this version cause I usually only play SSS. This time around I'm playing both (ACK!). We need to pick a team name and a team captain. Since I've played the game before, I'm more than happy to volunteer to be captain, but please if any of you are interested, let us know.

I'm in the pacific time zone, so I can roll at 10:01 pm PST on roll nights, which sometimes can give us an advantage if everyone finishes their reviews in time.

I'll start thinking of some team name ideas!

Yay! So far, Paris, it seems you are our Team expert ;)

I'll get my thinking cap on for some suggestions for team names too..
As Pooh says...think...think...think....

[Taya:)]

I'm new to game and group.

Team Names suggestions
Toxic Slayers
Knockout Flyers
Varvasious Veluptuous and oh so Venomous Vixens
Awesome Tornadoes
Series Mashers
Series Busters
Team 8 Mutants

[Apoorv]

Varvasious Veluptous sounds awesome ! :)

Its wonderful to have your experience amonsgst us, Paris. This is gonna be fun ! :)

[K~Terror]

ooohhh... I like! I thought something with 8's would be easy to come up with but drawing lots of blanks.

Wicked Octagonals
Psychotic Librarian Tramps
Brilliant High Scorgasms
Crazy Eights Explorers
Renegade Perusers

[Elena]

Looks like we're all here, nice to meet everyone!

Paris, I too support your candidacy for captainship :D. And I'd be happy to help as well as I can if you happen to need help with anything.

I'm really bad at coming up with creative names, I like Renegade Perusers quite a lot, or we could make it Renegeight Perusers if we have to have the number :).

[Apoorv]

Just so I clear myself, do we have a time set for the dice rolls ? If not, can we set one for atleast our team.. instead of the generic term as sometime Friday ?

I just think, that will help us align things well and we can have a 'number' to the deadline.

[Paris]

So I will be the captain, that works perfectly for me. Thanks for your offer to help Elena. I'll let you know if I run into any situations.

Apoorv, to answer your question. If everyone on the team has their books read and their reviews posted by Thursday, then I can actually roll Thursday night as long as it's after 10 pm my time (Pacific Standard Time). Does that make sense? I will always roll at that time, unless we don't have our reviews in OR I've got some kind of prior engagement (although I work early on Friday's, so that's not likely).

I see Apoorv and Elena are East Coasters, so I'll be rolling after 1 am your time, but that just means y'all will wake up to the roll and can pick your book as soon as you get up (or have a chance after that). Or if you're night owls, then you can pick your book before bed.

[Apoorv]

Absolutely !

That sounds like a plan, Paris. Since its Thursday night, I think I will check the roll after waking up and will select the book over the day on Friday.

Its good that we have fixed a time, so its easier to keep track and we all sail in the same boat essentially. :)

[Paris]

It's one thing that is a bonus of being on the West coast. It seems like most of the other players and captains are on the East coast or other later time frames, so I can roll before I go to bed and have everything ready for y'all when you wake up. Otherwise you'd have to wait until I wake up on Friday and that would be tricky and waste a couple of much needed reading hours. It's especially beneficial for the other version of the game where we only get a few days to read a book instead of a week.

[Elena]

This works fine for me too, I am a night owl and even if I'm not around for a roll there's plenty of time to pick a book the next morning.

I was wondering whether it matters when the book was started. If I start a book on Thursday and finish on Saturday could it still be used if it fits the bill or we can only count books started after the dice roll?

[Apoorv]

I think, we will be considering books read after the dice roll, up until before the next dice roll turn !

[Paris]

Elena, you can only use books started after the roll.

[Elena]

Got it, thanks for clearing it up!

[Paris]

Alright team. We are coming up on the first roll and we still need a team name. Anyone else have any ideas? If not, then can everyone post their top two favorites from what's been suggested.

I have a suggestion: Series Slayers

[K~Terror]

No more ideas here

[Apoorv]

My top two contentions :

- Renegeight Perusers
- Varvasious Veluptuous / Venomous Vixens

[Paris]

I like Renegeight Perusers too.

[K~Terror]

I was holding out to see if any other ideas before casting my vote, but I'll throw in my top 2 ==> Series Slayers & RenegEight Perusers

[Elena]

I've been trying to come up with something, but all that came to mind was The Crazy 88 - the name of the yakuza gang from Kill Bill.

My top choices are RenegEIGHT Perusers and Series Busters/Slayers.

[Taya:)]

My vote is for reneg8 perusers

[Paris]

Looks like Reneg8 Perusers is our name!

[Apoorv]

Yay !

So, Reneg8 Perusers, meet captain Paris..
Paris, hello from the Reneg8 Perusers ! :)

[K~Terror]

YAY!!!
I'm pretty sure that was the hard part, right?

[*Nan*]

Paris I am relatively new to this game - Do we just post in the team thread what we decide for team name and captain or do we PM Jenne?

[Paris]

Hi Nan. Just post your team name and captain in the discussion thread. Jenne will update from there.

[Paris]

An important reminder, page minimum is 150.

I always seem to forget that.

[K~Terror]

Good reminder! Tonight's the first roll, right?!

[Paris]

Yep! I have an alarm set so I don't forget. I'm going to a college football game tonight, but I should be home by 10:01 my time.

[K~Terror]

LOL! You are a dedicated team captain!

[Apoorv]

Geez ! I am getting all jittery as the roll time is inching closer ! ^_^

[Paris]

Oh my gosh. So glad all of you seem to be on East coast time cause I just got home from the football game (it's 10 minutes to midnight here).

Tonight, I rolled a 5 so you can either read the 5th book in a series or a book with a title that starts with R. Remember that A, An, And, and The do not count and again the book has to be at least 150 pages.

I'm going to read

Kristin, I love the Experiment in Terror series. One of my all time faves. Dex and Perry are so fantastic and the books are so creepy. I just finished the series earlier this month.

[K~Terror]

I've had Red Fox on my kindle for awhile so when I saw we could read a book starting with 'R', it seemed a good opportunity to slot this one in. I thought I'd just read the first few pages to get a feel for what I was getting myself into but before you know it, i was in it 80 pages - and was late to work. LOL

(Red Fox seems to move at a much quicker pace than the first book - Darkhouse)

I love Karina Halle's other series too - Sins & Needles. Have you read that one?

[Paris]

I love Sins & Needles. I think I own all of the books she has out right now but I haven't read Donners of the Dead, Love, in English and Dirty Angels. I love Karina Halle.

Sorry you were late for work but the rest of the series will be harder to put down. Lol

[Jenne]

DotD was really good!

HaHa! There are worse problems!

[Elena]

Hello Team!
I will be reading by Eoin Colfer which is #5 in Artemis Fowl series and is 385 pages long.

And I added Darkhouse to my TBR following your discussion here, Paris and Kristin :)

[K~Terror]

LOL! If you are in for book one you have to make it to book two to fully appreciate!

I'm all ready on page 180/310. I have the house to myself for another hour so making the most of it. :)
