Good so options like audiobooks which I cannot do won't severely limit my options.

Yes.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Ok so I assume first call will be Oct 22 this saturday so will the first revealing of answers post be during the week we are reading or after the first reads are posted. Oct 25 or Nov 1?

The game begins Monday, Oct. 24, so you'll see the survey and answers (reading prompts) Saturday, Oct. 22. The survey and answers will be posted two days before each "Week".

Week 1: Oct 24 - 30
Week 2: Oct. 31 - Nov. 6
Week 3: Nov. 7 - 13
Week 4: Nov. 14 - 20
Week 5: Nov. 21 - Dec. 4 (14 days)
Week 6: Dec. 5 - 11

Did that answer your question, Roger?

No I was asking about:
The answers' points will be revealed each Tuesday morning.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Sha wrote: "How does scoring work? One point per book?"

I will use the number the answer scored on the survey. To use the sample survey:

Name something specific that might make a blind date not go very well.
Answers:
Nothing in Common - 22
Body Odor - 18
Male shorter than Female - 14
Arrives Late - 13
Car Trouble/Accident - 8
Personality Clash - 8
Sloppy Attire - 7
Bad Breath - 4
Date is a Bore - 2
Ugly Date/Bad Looking - 2

If you read for 'Arrives Late', you would earn 13 points for your family.

I've tried to make the reading prompts equally hard/easy, but certain ones will appeal to a certain person more than others.

As soon as possible. By Monday morning, please.

I'll need a list of each family member, and which answer they read for. A link to the member's Completion Post will be fine. I'll make a Reporting Thread soon.

After all the reports are in, I'll reveal the answer's points and how many points each family has earned.

If we are thinking we will read two books for any week of the game - do we need to decide this and inform team by Sunday or we can add a book during the week if we have time?

Also, I'm figuring if I read two books I would need to read for two different answers, yes?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

~Melissa~ wrote: "If we are thinking we will read two books for any week of the game - do we need to decide this and inform team by Sunday or we can add a book during the week if we have time?"

Everyone is to read 1 book a week. There are two reasons why someone might need to read an extra book.

Each family should consist of 5 members. It wouldn't be fair for a smaller family to lose the points gained by that fifth book. That is why I asked in the sign-up questionnaire if folks were able or willing to read a second book during a week.

The other reason to read a second book is if a family member schedules an absence or has an emergency.

I don't mind if you read two books for the same answer.

Dumas Family All checked in.

Yay!

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Thought it would be easier if teams checked in rather than you having to follow all the threads to see who is missing.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Where will the survey questions and answers be posted?

I am a very nosy moderator. I definitely read all the team threads!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Roger - president of NBR United - wrote: "Where will the survey questions and answers be posted?"

I haven't created the reporting and survey threads yet. I'll do that tomorrow morning.

Oooh, if this challenge is based on family, does that make me The Godfather? (But feminine. 'The Godmother' just doesn't have the sound of power and authority :)

[D.L.]

Hi, this is a weird question, but I just noticed that the Dahl family and the Christie family (which I'm Captain of) both have a Jeanne listed as scorekeeper. Are they the same person or is there 2 separate people?

[Meg]

The Godfather, lol. It works!

*sigh* I did put the same person on two teams. Thank you for catching that. Your team will keep Jeanne and I'll send a replacement for the Jeanne in the Dahl family.

Thanks for letting us know. I just wanted to be sure. I am excited to begin this game! :)

Awesome.

Since you started the thread, you can change the title. Or I can do it. Either way :)

Can people in the same team read the same book for the same prompt?

Sure.

[Janeylou]

So we are trying to guess the 'most' popular answer... for more points

For some reason i was thinking the reverse 🙄🙄😄

Janeylou wrote: "So we are trying to guess the 'most' popular answer... for more points

For some reason i was thinking the reverse 🙄🙄😄"

The rules say, "At the end of 6 weeks, the family with the most points wins." So, you're looking for the answer that is most popular and that might have the highest points.

[Janeylou]

If someone reads a book that works for 3 different tasks , they need to specify for just 1 before tuesday and not wait and see which gets the highest points...correct ?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Janeylou wrote: "If someone reads a book that works for 3 different tasks , they need to specify for just 1 before tuesday and not wait and see which gets the highest points...correct ?"

Yes.

I won't post the points for the answers until all the Captains have reported in for the week and I've recorded the task that folks have read for.

[Janeylou]

Great, i think thats all my questions for now 😊

I'm sorry. I don't understand your question. Everyone is to read 1 book a week.

Click where it says (some html is ok) on the top right of the writing box. All the format codes are there, including bold.

Lanelle, you say ends 12:59 PM, are you saying it closes a minute before 1 or did you mean 11:59 a minute before midnight?

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

As scorekeeper do you want a report of weekly earned points or just the continuing post in team thread?

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

For baseball hat author with double letters, if I read a book with two authors, do they both need to have double letters like IRL: In Real Life or would just one of the authors work like Fakers?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Roger - president of NBR United - wrote: "Lanelle, you say ends 12:59 PM, are you saying it closes a minute before 1 or did you mean 11:59 a minute before midnight?"

I had the number correct in Message 1, but wrong in Message 2. It is 11:59 pm. I have fixed it.

Roger - president of NBR United - wrote: "As scorekeeper do you want a report of weekly earned points or just the continuing post in team thread?"

The Scorekeeper is really for the benefit of the team. The Scorekeeper takes care of this task so there is one less thing that the Captain needs to worry about.

I will tally up the points from each teams' Completion Post and update Messages 2 or 3 in the Reporting Thread with each teams' weekly total. The Scorekeeper can report back to the team with their team's score.

Double letters in one of the author's name is fine.
