R3: ♬ Start Me Up...(Sign-Ups) [Team Assignments Posted!]

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

                     

Welcome! Put your dancing shoes on!!

For those of you who have played this game last time, welcome back! If you're new to our Team Challenge, never fear, we are here to help smooth your way. There have been plenty of changes made this time round, so be sure to check out our 1, 2, 3 Step thread before you sign-up.

Just as a quick recap: This challenge is a Team effort and requires your commitment to read ONE book per week and check-in with your Team AT LEAST once a week. We understand that sometimes Real Life gets hectic and things get in the way, but we think one post a week is more than do-able. If you need to be replaced, please tell us ASAP. If you need to be excused for one week, due to a vacation or other reason, it is possible we may be able to get a substitute.

After sign ups are closed (___________) the bouncers - AKA the RLftCI Mods - will send you an Event Invitation to the RLftCI Dance Party. Look out for that invitation, it will be your confirmation to play. Bouncers will randomly form Teams with confirmed players only. Team sizes will depend on sign-up numbers, but we hope to keep it between four (4) and six (6) players. The bouncers will strive to make all Teams have an equal amount of players.

Sign up right here, in this thread! When signing-up, please SUBMIT FIVE SONGS. (Yes, if your exited to get your foot in the door now, you may tell us later, but please note #2 here.) These may be any songs that have been in the top 50 from the 60s until today may be used. If you can provide the link to the YouTube video, or an on-line site listing the lyrics, or both, that would be wonderful. Sign-ups will close on the ____________. Songs MUST be in English.


When signing-up please answers these questions:

• Are you willing to read one book a week for seven six weeks of this challenge?
• How many books do you read a year?
• In what Time Zone are you?
• Would you be willing to be Captain or Co-Captain?
• Do you understand you need to submit five (5) songs before you will be assigned a Team and sent an Event Invitation?

We are also taking sign-ups for Back-ups, Substitutes, or Replacement Players, even if it is for only ONE WEEK. If interested, please answer the above questions and let us know how many weeks you would be willing to act as a Back-up/Substitute/Replacement.

*Psst! In case you're interested, the thread name refers to the song Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones .

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Captain & Co-Captain Duties

• Welcome everyone on your Team & send GR friend invites to them.
• Kindness and effective communication is key.
• Alert Team Members as to what is happening.
• Making a basic spreadsheet is helpful, but not mandatory.
• Knowing how to Hyperlink to a Specific Post is essential.
• Team Captains / Co-Captains are NOT expected to figure out
   the link to songs for Team Members; that is an individual responsibility.
