R6 SSS How to Play, Help & Discussion Thread

That's what I do, use the control find function in your computer and it's a tad faster.

[Susan A]

It has to match exactly correct?

"own on ereader" shelf does not equal the ereader list for spot #44

[Jenne]

Has to match...I've had it get me too. The killer is when someone has a shelf misspelled. It'll make you mad! Most of these shelves are pretty general and there's a good chance what you want to read is on there/

[Katherine]

Hi I want to ask. Can I write a review now, when I read just half my picked book? Because I wouldn't be home until Monday and I know that I will finish the book until Sunday.

[Jenne]

I know you're always a timely reader. Do you have any way of just posting that you're done or will you have no internet access?

[Katherine]

I will have internet access, but my native language is not English and most of the time even with computer, who is correcting my mistakes, I make mistakes. And with my phone most of the things I will write will be nonsense and I don't think that people will understand. So I better write the review now, then on the phone, when I finished.

[Jenne]

That's fine, just post a quick I'm done or something like that once you're finished.

Okay. Thanks Jenne.

[Jenne]

Your welcome :)

Jenne as I mentioned in the other type of this game my kindle died this morning and won't get a new one until early next week at the earliest so in the interests of my team I might have to bow out of this type.

[Jenne]

I was typing while you were typing lol! Just responded on your team's thread.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

replied there.

[Jenne]

Is there anyone who's not already playing both versions that would like to be a back up for Roger over at SS till he gets his kindle?

thanks for the offer Ezi.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Sorry Roger. I am so afraid of being without a book. I've stashed books at work, my car, husband's car, my mom's, my purse and that's in case I didn't have my ipod, iphone or ipad available.

It's probably a phobia like fear of heights, but it's fear of being without a book

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

For Author alternate if coauthors do both Coauthors have to Have a letter for instance if Author B I was thinking of The Druid Stone which the co authors are Heidi Belleau and Violettta Vane. would that work?

[Jenne]

It would be fine since one of them does :)

Thank you.

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Hey Jenne, will work for multicolored?

[Jenne]

Yep :)

[Petya]

Can be classified as a standalone book because when I open the page it says - The Descendants #1, but then when I click on that to see how many book there would be it says just this one

[Jenne]

Petya, that looks like a #1 to me. I think the only reason there's not more listed is because it was released this year :(

[Petya]

Ok, thanks anyway :)

[Jenne]

Each team has the winning alternates under a spoiler tag on the post with the list of alternates. If I missed your team please let me know =]

[Paris]

I know I'm totally stretching this, but what are the chances that something like this would count for moon on the cover....

or

[Jenne]

Sorry P, it's moonlight but no moon :(

[Paris]

hahaha figured as much, but I had to try. I want to read Scarlet, but I can only fit it in, if it fits with a challenge at this point.

Thanks!

[Susan A]

Jenne --

Does 2 Ready 2 Read still have its free pass? I didn't specifically use it, but I'm not sure if it got used when Roger's Kindle broke - -all of the substitute books were on time.

THanks

[Jenne]

Yeah y'all do, we went with subs during that time.

[Shannon]

Would this work for moon?

[Jenne]

I think that's the moon on the right side lol, go ahead with it if you want to :)

Thanks Jenne!

Teams 1 and 3 could go out Thursday if they roll a 6.

[Jenne]

Ok peeps, both teams 1 & 3 have rolled past 100 today. Whichever team finishes first will be our winner. In the event that neither team is not done by Sunday the game will go on. This is probably pretty unlikely though.

[Paris]

Jenne, we can read book 1's for 101 or only purple books? I can't remember and i tried looking at the winning team from last time but I wasn't sure. Figured I should double check since it's for the win.

[Jenne]

Any first in a series, standalone, alt and if you can find a 0.5 that's long enough it's cool too :)

[Paris]

Awesome. Thank you. Good luck!

[Paris]

oh and we just have to post our reviews in our thread nowhere else correct?

[Jenne]

Yeah with it only being 2 teams it's not hard to keep up with it :)

[Paris]

Okay good cause I'll be at work and it'll already be tricky enough for me to post my review. Thanks

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

I looked at post your spot it looks like one of the teams in it for the win used a free pass to get to the winning spot. that seems to contradict the rule pasted below:

Teams will have a chance to earn 1 Free Pass to roll. To earn your free pass your team has to complete their reads a day before the next roll. Once your team has done this you will have 1 free pass. The free pass will allow a team to roll if they are missing a review(s) before the cutoff. The free pass may not be used for the win. Once you've used it, you can't earn another one. It's a one time shot.


so can that team be said to be going for the win?

post is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Jenne]

It can't be used for the win, once you've rolled and can win you can't use it to win if your short a review.

It can be used any week that you're rolling like today. Team 3 rolled and used it because of being short one review. There was no guarantee that we'd roll high enough to win so it's fair game. You just can't use it if you've rolled past 100, have all but one review in and then claim the win via free pass.

I may need to rethink the wording better for next round. I have it in there like that because of the first round we had it, we had a team that thought they could use it after all reviews but one were in for the win.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

thank you for the clarification

Jenne,
can I recommend a change to that rule to say, Free Pass cannot be used once a group gets to Space 94? It would take away the confusion because I understood the rule like Roger did.

[Jenne]

Congrats to team 3! They've gotten all their reviews in!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

holy cow. That was FAST!!!!!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Congratulations Team 3

[Paris]

Congratulations! That was a good battle. Team 1 was just short one review.

[Jenne]

Congrats to y'all P it was close!
Believe it or not team 3 was last in place for a good portion of the earlier part of the game lol.
