[Melanie]

Laura, you're posting in the wrong place. This is the Q&A thread.

[Laura]

Thanks Melanie!

Hi. I need some help with the colour of a cover... does this book count as light blue or dark blue? Thanks.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I'll allow it

Sorry, is this about my query? Some of the tasks require light blue covers and some dark blue. I think the cover I have posted is light blue but wanted to get a confirmation. Thanks.

Yes, Preeti! I was on the app, so I couldn't use the reply feature. You can use that book for light blue.

Thanks, Ashley!
And I agree, the app can be quite irritating with fewer features. One would think that with so many more people accessing such services on their phones, the app would be better.🤷🏻‍♀️

Task for Virginia is - Read a book by an author whose first and last initials can be found in “VIRGINIA”
Fits: R in Virginia

We selected Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse.

Her first and last initial are R. Does that qualify? If not, I will make adjustments.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Yes, that is fine!

[Ivelisse]

Ashley... We landed on Chance - were sent to St. Charles Place which is owned by another team. Do we pay and complete the tasks?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Yes

Hi! Team Shoe got the “building loan matures; collect $150” Chance card and another PP player has asked if/when we’re going to read and post a book. I don’t think we need to. Can you confirm, please?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

there is no book associated with that card

Ashley wrote: "there is no book associated with that card"

Ok, explain. I'm once again confused. I'm assuming we didn't need a book for our last community chest card either??

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

wait Im in the car and looked at the wrong card ..

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

never mind, I was right the first time. if you look in the first message at the end it shows you that the only two tasks that require reading.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Teams! I will be double checking everything Monday, once I'm home from vacation and making sure everything is correct with books, totals, etc., since I couldn't monitor as much as usual last week. If you have erroneously read a book, I will note it and put it back in your bank. For now, please just continue on and don't make additional changes, since it'll make it more confusing.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Ok, Park Place Group! Your turns, etc have been audited and correct as needed, please proceed with your next turns.

I will be getting to the Boardwalk Group later today!

Ashley can we get a replacement player for Samantha? ( Team Race Car) She signed up for 10 books/ month and read one book. She is trying to cope with some unexpected real life problems.

Laura, I am recruiting now. I will let you know if I get an additional player.

Ashley, Team Cannon has a player, Hina, who hasn't posted a book yet. Are we able to replace her? Thanks!

Should be able to, have you been able to make contact at all?

Got it, I have a smaller BPM reader I will add to your team. If you do hear from Hina, and she still wants to play, she can stay on. If not, hopefully I'll get another reader for you.

Laura, can you let me know if Samantha has backed out entirely, or just lowered her BPM?

[Laura]

I'll try to make contact with her
I didn't have any luck before

Hey Ashley, we have a separate spreadsheet for Team Top Hat that a team member was using to track all our moves and had a running balance with regard to our cash transactions and it doesn't seem to matche up with what you have. Can we give you access to review or compare sheets and let us know what you find?

Thanks!

Sure Christine, send me the link :)

[Upton]

Hello again! Team Top Hat and Team Battleship have reached a trade agreement. I can outline it for you if you like, but we are wondering how to go about doing the trade? Should we post it in the boardwalk chat and make changes then?

Thank you.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Just post it in the Turns thread during your next turn.

Unused books will not to be used for points. Make sure you are purposeful in using them!

[🐉 PrinZessBookDragon 👑🌶️]

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

Ashley, what time/timezone is the official end of the game? I may have missed it if you posted this somewhere else. Thanks!

[🐉 PrinZessBookDragon 👑🌶️]

i'm curious too Ashley-- about the official time the game ends--

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

It should be listed in message 2 in each Team thread, but I'll post it here too!

2/28 - End Date! 6pm CST (12am in the UK)

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

Thank you! I figured I had overlooked it. 😅
