GISH sign-up thread and team rosters

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Namita and Loriidae, I'm going to send out another message asking if anyone else wants to sign-up. Hopefully we'll get enough folks to form one more team. And hopefully they'll be willing to be a Captain or Co-Captain :)

Thank you for being willing to captain a team, Lorii. That helps a lot. Let's go ahead and plan on you being the captain of Team 10. So far you have Namita and Meira on your team. I'm pretty sure at least one more show up shortly.

Loriidae wrote: "...I just assumed being late I would join an established group."

That's only for the really late :)

You're welcome to get your Team's thread up and running if you'd like. Or you can wait until you get all 5 members signed in.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Leslie wrote: "Is it too late to sign up?"

Of course not. You'll be on Team 10 and Lorii will be your Captain. I'm sure she'll get the Team thread started soon.

I can read more than one book a week, no problem. Would rather not be captain or scorekeeper.

are you willing to read more than one book per week. I am unable to commit to more than one book at this time. I may read more, but that is up in the air at this time.

You are on Team 6, Sunshine. That thread hasn't been started yet. I imagine it will be soon.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Melissa (ladybug), Gayetri, Emeli and ⚣Michaelle⚣, I think I have spots for you. Let me contact the Captains and I'll let you know which team you'll be on.

[Paula]

If there are spots available, I would like to sign up =)
can you be captain or scorekeeper? no, I'm already captaining in other challenge
Are you willing to read more than one book per week? Just one book a week for me

Melissa (ladybug), you are assigned to Team 9. Library is your Captain and she's expecting you.

Gayetri, Emeli and ⚣Michaelle⚣, you are all on Team 10. lorii is the Captain. Have fun!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Paula wrote: "If there are spots available, I would like to sign up =)"

Paula, I'm starting up a new team. It will be Team 11. There are only three of us. Hopefully we'll get three more people to sign up so we can be a full team. I'll get the team thread up in a few minutes.

Edited to add: The thread is ready, Paula. Come on over.

There's one spot open on Team 11, Suman. It's yours if you want it.

Good. Team 11 now has a full roster. See you over at the team's thread.

[Sruthi]

Hi Lanelle,

Sorry for the delay..wanted to check if there is any seat open. I can join right away & can fill the gap of missed days.

I would like to read more than 1 book in a week.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Sruthi wrote: "Sorry for the delay..wanted to check if there is any seat open. I can join right away & can fill the gap of missed days."

Hi Sruthi. All the teams are filled, but there is one person who hasn't checked in yet. It's also possible that someone might have to drop out of the challenge. So there could be a need for replacements. Would you like me to set up a thread for back-up players?

Sruthi wrote: "I would like to read more than 1 book in a week."

Everyone reads just one book, unless the team captain asks you to read a second book for a teammate.

[Sruthi]

Sure...I am fine to take part anytime & can be replacement in case someone doesn’t want to continue.
Will wait for your response :):)

Sruthi, I've made a thread for you. It's 'Secondary Scavengers'. Head on over and look at the tasks. Hopefully you'll find one or two that you like. If you have any questions, be sure to ask.

[Sruthi]

Thanks so much...it’s really helpful & I will pick u the task 😊😊

[Alex]

I posted in the Secondary Scavengers thread as well. I'm hoping I can also join in as a just for fun/back up player? I've read a couple books already this week!

Cpt: I signed up too late for that to be an option lol

Welcome to the GISH Scavenger Hunt, Alex.

[Zoë]

Hey! Got the message about needing backup players. I’m here for ya!! I can read more than one a week as well.

[Jen]

Name: Jen
Captain: I’m guessing this isn’t needed as a back up player
More than one book a week: yes!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Hi, Jen. I'm glad you've decided to join us. Come on over to the Secondary Scavengers thread. That's where the back-up players hang out.

[Sam]

Is it too late to sign up? I'd love to join this event :)

My name is Sam

Yes, I currently aim to read at least 2 books a week and I'm a fast reader.

It's not too late. Come on over to the Secondary Scavengers thread (a place for back-up players to hang out and play along) and make a Selection Post for next week, Sam.
