Is it the 'new topic' i have to go through
Mod
Yes.
To add a thread:
•Click the Folder you want to add the thread in.
•Above, to the right of the thread list, click New Topic.
•Give the Topic a name. Make sure it's in the folder you want (by using the drop down), add a comment and post!
Mod
Awesome!
Can i sign up as a back up? I read more than 1 book a week
Lanelle,I can be a substitute starting Sept. 1, and could read more than one book if necessary if I was needed to be a full-time replacement.
Mod
The thread would be for everyone currently on the list of back-up players to play along until a spot on a team opens up. Participation would be optional and casual, and there would be no disqualifications.
It's up to you.
Lanelle, I'm going to be moving from Maryland to Illinois (a 14 hr drive) next Thursday and Friday, so I would really appreciate it if you could post the Week 1 tasks on Monday to give me a chance to find an audio book to listen to that works for one of the tasks.
Hi Lanelle, as there is another Jen signed up on the list, I think I got missed in the team allocation. I was message 15. Thanks!Or am I the Jen in Team 5?
@Janeylou, I am on my way home from a wonderful vacation in Yellowstone so I will check in asap. Thank you for captain-ing our team. Can you please either post a link to our thread when it’s ready or, better yet in my case, please PM it to me.
Mod
*grin* Nice gif. I've posted Week 1's tasks.
Mod
Or am I the Jen in Team 5?"
Dangit. I did leave you off of a team.
With you and Krissy and Jeanne and me, I think we've got a workable team. All of us are willing to read more than 1 book a week (although you'd rather not do it every week), and Jeanne can't start until September.
Hopefully we'll get at least one more person interested in the challenge to round our team out to five.
Jen K, Krissy, and Jeanne, does that sound good?

Sure! I definitely read more than 1 book a week, I was more hesitant on being tied to two specific prompts a week but I'm sure I can make it work. Thanks!
Mod
I think that's the trickiest part of this challenge.

Right? And negotiating with your team to cover them all. :)
Will we be team 8? I can set up a thread and help co-captain. I just don't have the tech skills for the reporting posts and weekly summary posts...
Hey Lanelle! Looks like I got left off of the team lists as well. :(Maybe I can be the fifth on your newly formed team?
Back-up or if new teams formed :-)Name: Laura
Can you be Captain? Not this time
Are you willing to read more than the one book required for the week? Yes
Mod
Maybe I can be the fifth on your newly formed team?"
Dangit again! I'm sorry, Katie. You'll definitely be part of this next Team.
Mod
Does anyone feel comfortable taking my spot as co-captain? If not, I'll keep my hand.
Mod
Absolutely. I'm hoping everyone that has been placed on a team will show up, but there's a chance that someone will not check in.
In the meantime, would you like to just watch the challenge while you wait, or would you like to play along on a thread just for back-up players?

A back up thread would be cool
Mod
Awesome. I'll wait to set one up until right before the challenge begins. No sense making one if perchance you take the place of someone who doesn't report in.

Sounds good!
I would like to sign up if I am too late I can be a backup
Mod
It's not too late. I'll add your name to the list :)
Would you be interested in a thread for back-ups to play along?

That would be great.
I'm interested in being a back-up and/or back-up thread, if it's not too late. I can read a book a week if need.
Thanks!
Mod
I can read a book a week if need.
Thanks!"
It's not too late. I'll add your name to the list :)

Absolutely :D
Mod
Now that we have teams what do we do to check in?
Mod
Looks like you figured it out :)
I can be backup if you are still taking them.
Mod
Absolutely, Roger. Do you want to participate on the back-up thread?

Surprisingly I did! This is my first ever team challenge. I don’t want to let my team down so I will be trying to keep figuring it out.
Mod
Hello, Reed. Team 4 needs a player. Head on over to their thread and introduce yourself. Be sure to review the rules and guidelines.
