Catherine lol!!!! Girl you’re hilarious! I should be for the Kansas City Chiefs but I absolutely despise the Chiefs so I’m gonna have to go with the 49ers. Right now 49ers have three Chiefs have zero so I’m hoping that my 49ers continue to play good

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I totally forgot to answer the question. I’m fine with that. I’m sorry I was so worried about the Super Bowl. Lol.

[Ana, Moderator]

Catherine and V you both made me laugh 😂 I’m also not a huge football fan but it’s like I just have it in the background while doing other things and checking in on how the points are going 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Just being honest lol.

[Ana, Moderator]

Hey quick question, no one has been joining team Jasmine so wouldn’t it be easier to make the challenge a 3 team instead of 4 teams? I don’t mind the challenge remaining 4 teams like always it was just a thought 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I am fine with either

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

I'm so glad you laughed, Ana 😆

Sounds good to me! I'm fine either way too:)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

So just to confirm, the challenge is going to start February 18th and end on March 24th?

Yeah I think so

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Congrats to the Chiefs! (😭)

Awesome, I'll change the challenge pic and send a group broadcast on February 13th announcing the winner of the Snow Falling Winter Sweets Challenge and introducing the Winter Blooms Challenge.

[Ana, Moderator]

Yeah I know people around my neighborhood went crazy with fireworks for the Chiefs win lol 😂

Ok cool thanks Catherine :) so what’s the final decision on how many teams to have? Do we just stay with the 4 we already have?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

😂 I personally find it so funny how Americans bond so much over a bunch of buff dudes in funny outfits running at each other like they're at war or something 😆

Based on the turnout from the last challenge, 3 teams might mean a lot of people per team (compared to previous challenges, at least). I know that some people were inactive, but I think keep the 4th team for now. If there aren't many people on the 4th team by the time the challenge starts, I think it would be OK if we get rid of the 4th team and reassign the people accordingly, if that's not too much trouble. Thoughts?

[Ana, Moderator]

Yes! That’s funny 😄

Ok that sounds great!

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

I say keep it for now and then once more people join we can see from there.

[Ana, Moderator]

Hey Catherine is the photo ready for the challenge? Or do we just update the challenge signup page and the teams with the google doc the way it is?

[Ana, Moderator]

Because it’s kind of funny how we have different forms of the challenge in the signup page and the teams and the google doc lol 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Yes, the photo's done- it just has the name of the challenge & the dates (2/18/24-3/24/24). I also updated the doc to those dates too. Yeah XD

I think the two main differences are the dates and the inclusion of activity prompts from the previous challenge (like RAB with a fluffy friend, go out in the snow, etc.).

[Ana, Moderator]

Ok great thank you so much! :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Yeah for sure! :D

Also, I just wanted to confirm that we're using the Google doc version (2/18/24-3/24/24 and without the activity prompts from the previous challenge), yes? I'm going to send out the broadcast tomorrow so I just wanted to confirm:)

I think so yes :) are both Mackenzie and V on board too?

[Ana, Moderator]

Hey guys are we going to announce the winner team for the Snow Falling challenge?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Yes, I just updated the final scoreboard! I'm going to send a broadcast today; do you think if it's alright if I just assume that we're going to use the Google doc version?

[Ana, Moderator]

Catherine wrote: "Yes, I just updated the final scoreboard! I'm going to send a broadcast today; do you think if it's alright if I just assume that we're going to use the Google doc version?"

Yeah I think it’s alright. I was even thinking of adding it into a comment in the signup chat until V can update it, should I do that or do we just wait?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Sounds good! I think that's a good idea. Maybe instead of posting a comment, you can create a new thread and put the link to the thread in the signups thread? That way people don't have to scroll down a lot to find all the info. What do you think?

[Ana, Moderator]

Okay I can do that :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Awesome, thanks! I'll add the link to the broadcast.

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Sorry wait, before you post, I have a question! Only pages that are read during the challenge count for points, right? I'm a little confused about the rule, "We will let you log books one day before the challenge starts"...since I thought only pages read during the challenge count for points, the doc doesn't have that rule.

[Ana, Moderator]

Yeah I was confused about that too but that’s what V told Firestorm I think? I was under the impression that yes you can start a book before the challenge starts but you have to finish at least the day of the challenge but subtract the pages not read within the challenge days.

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

I thought that too...maybe we can wait to finalize anything until we clear that rule up with V? I'll just send the broadcast with everything tomorrow:)

[Ana, Moderator]

Okay sure sounds good :)

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

Sorry guys have been busy and just read all the messages. I was letting people log books one day before the challenge started. I had people asking how soon they could log books and I said you can log books that you started one day before the challenge.

It’s okay V :) and do you mean that people can start a book before the challenge but as long as they finish the book within the challenge it counts? Or that they can finish the book a day before the challenge begin and it will still count? Sorry that’s what I’m confused about.

[Yeehawwlovesbooks, Lead Moderator]

People can start a book one day before and count it when they finish.

[Ana, Moderator]

Yeehawwlovesbooks wrote: "People can start a book one day before and count it when they finish."

Oh okay got it! Thanks :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Yeah no worries V about being busy! Thanks for taking the time to clear that up. If people can start a book one day before the challenge, should we just move the challenge start date to one day before the challenge (Feb 17th)? I believe that everywhere the dates are posted (team chats & signups thread) need to be updated anyway, since we moved the challenge end date to March 24th.

I say we leave it as February 18-March 24 so that way you don’t have to edit the photo yet again but I also don’t mind if we change it.

I already changed the dates in the Snowdrop chat but yes I agree that the dates need to be changed everywhere too.

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

It's pretty easy to change the photo, but I'll wait to hear back from V/Mackenzie:) Thanks Ana! :D

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

OK, I'm going to go ahead send the broadcast, and leave it as Feb 18-March 24:))

Ok sounds good :) although V hasn’t updated the signup page just yet so do you want me to create the other thread and link it like we talked about? Or what do we do?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Sure, we could do that! We can always just delete the thread once the signup page is updated:)

[Ana, Moderator]

Catherine (hiatus) wrote: "Sure, we could do that! We can always just delete the thread once the signup page is updated:)"

Yeah we can do that, I’ll go create it now :)

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Awesome, thank you! And I'm not sure I actually sent the broadcast, haha...I'll try sending it again.

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Never mind, I guess it did send! And thanks for adding those spaces between sections ;)

[Ana, Moderator]

Catherine (hiatus) wrote: "Never mind, I guess it did send! And thanks for adding those spaces between sections ;)"

Yeah when I created the chat there where no spaces and I was like wait that’s not right 🤔😅

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

😂 Yeah, it looks much better now! Should we call it "Winter Blooms Updated Challenge Info" maybe, to distinguish it from the signup thread?

[Catherine (semi active), Co-Founder (inactive)]

Yay, thank you so much for all your help, Ana! Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have a great rest of your day:))

Message me if any of y'all need anything! Thank you so much y'all, I'll see you soon:)

You’re welcome Catherine :) Happy Valentine’s Day and I hope you have a great day too!
