Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments I'm about 40 minutes away from launching a rather massive one (1200+ pages). May need to use a catapult :D

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments 2 more snowballs away. Starting two more catapult ones, so will be a couple of days, lol.


message 66: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments Should we formalize our throwing techniques?

Toss
Lob
Wind-up-and-throw
Catapult
Trebuchet

What am I missing?


message 67: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments Slingshot? Airdrop? :D


message 68: by bamaace83 (new)

bamaace83  | 1601 comments Sneak attack is a good one but you need to be a fast runner to make a quick escape.

Thanks


message 72: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Logged all four books and away they go.


message 73: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Lets hope i don't miss , i can't thow worth a hack


message 74: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments Use a slingshot!
Build a basket and convince a bunch of pigeons to carry and drop them. No problem.


message 75: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Frist time I'm doing this so how do i make a weapon to use


message 76: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments I was just kidding.
I have no idea how the shots are tabulated.
But, the thought of recruiting an army of pigeons makes me smile.

Yes it would , especially if they was homing pigeons , they could make the drop and come home for the next one


message 78: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments Brilliant.


message 79: by Preeti (new)

Preeti (preetisunaina) LOL... I saw "army of pigeons" and immediately thought of the movie Valiant. Now I have to watch it... it's a good thing tomorrow is Sunday. I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow other than finishing my last book for this week.




message 80: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments I've never seen it! Now I have to.


message 81: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments I was thinking more along the lines of...

message 82: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments "Misplaced faith in homing pigeons"? Too funny.


message 83: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments The struggle is real. I always end up doing more damage to myself than my opponent, lol.


message 84: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Looks like need to come up with a away that will help us hit our mark. No matter how bad our throw is .


message 85: by Erin (new)

Erin (sweeterin) | 186 comments launched my second snowball. :)

bamaace83  | 1601 comments Tossing some snowballs....I enlisted the help of the cute hockey player, Riggs, and his team. Let's hope these snowballs make an impact. :)

Also, may have misjudged my reading number a little bit because turf wars isn't over quite yet. On the other hand, I probably won't get much reading done between 12-23 and 12-31 so I may not have misjudged it that badly...


message 88: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments Another snowball away!! :)


message 89: by Melindam (new)

Melindam I also launched 2 earlier. Hope at least 1 of them hits a target.

message 92: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments I'll stop lobbing giant snowballs eventually (say, in about 11 days or so...), but in the meantime, I'm still needing that catapult, lol.


message 93: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (porkchop0911) | 807 comments MY LAST ONE WAS A FAIL...I LAUNCHED A DOUBLE NOW


message 94: by bamaace83 (new)

bamaace83  | 1601 comments Quietly mutters to myself that I think this may be a bad idea as I borrow the catapult for a 500ish page book. Let's just hope that I don't get injured with this thing. Also, stares at the calendar and thinks to myself 11 days isn't so far away as some bigger-ish books silently look at me from the other side of the room.


message 95: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth 3out 4 of my first snow balls where hits , and i just lest 3 more go.


message 96: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2311 comments Launched 5 this morning. Let's see if my aim holds true!


message 97: by Sammy (last edited Dec 08, 2021 08:53AM) (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 4069 comments My aim is rubbish. I only hit 2 out of 7 times! lol.

Oh wait, make that 2/8. *sigh*

LOL, I am sorry the Snowball wheel doesn't like you. Maybe it will like you better another day.


message 99: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 112 comments I'm at 3/4 hits! (but just put in my 5th book, so my rate might drop off now)

It's pure luck. The wheel alternates hit & miss so every other space on it is a miss.
