Yes I am usually reading 2 to 3 books a day when in challenge mode in march I was in 0 Challenges so went leisurely so I don't burn out from being year round challenge mode.

The wait is over!
Team threads will be open when your team captains are ready.
Have fun getting to know your team before the challenge starts on 1st May (just over a week to go!).

We've got a reserve list of players which you are on, so hopefully we'll be able to assign you a team soon.

Come say hello and meet your teammates :)

Team Deset is almost all checked in! If Monisha or Vaidehi are around here somewhere, come on over and say hello...

I'm wondering if all the teams have been assigned. I am on the spreadsheet, but I don't see where I have been assigned to a team for this challenge. Thanks for your help with this.

Is there an explanation somewhere that tells what our team names mean? Did I miss that? Is it obvious and I’m clueless? Haha. Thanks. 🤓🤪🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

I wondered if that was the case. 🙃🙂 thx
Ah, I had no clue that they all meant 10 and was wondering on the weird names.
Happy FIRST DAY of Towers, everyone!!I hope we all have fun! Towers is always a blast!
Team Dez would like to thank the mods for all of their hard work and yet another fun challenge.We are also ready to accept our trophy, because placing 10th in a 10 themed challenge obviously means we win. 😁
Yes! Thanks mods! This was a rather exceptional challenge!I do agree, 10th place should definitely get a trophy, or maybe 10, or maybe a collection of books with ten in the title, oh wait, we've already read them.
Thanks again. This must have been a lot of work.
Dear Mods,as usual, you wreaked havoc and mayhem and happiness with the TT challenge.
Thank you for all your hard work and all the crazy fun! ♡
How you know you're addicted... You go away on holiday and on your first full day there you're already stalking GR... 😜Hope you're having a good time!
:D Gimme time, Sammy, to get used to s.l.o.w.-r.e.a.d.i.n.g and leave off trying to choose my next book for no task whatsoever.Honestly, I have no idea what to read next. : D
But Zakynthos is beautiful and the way the sea is changing colour almost every hour is ay-may-zing, so that's something to stare at instead of booktexts.
Also going for a massage soon. ;)
All kinds of jealous. I've yet to start another book, which is pretty typical post-challenge behaviour for me, lol.
Me too. I have opted for listening to music instead. :)
Music? what's one of those when its at home? It's been MONTHS! lol.
Well my Tower Teams Cherry has been well & truely been popped, by a great team as well .Thanks to the mods and Ashara ..will be back next year 😁😁
Mod
Music is a fab thing to get reacquainted with! Enjoy and think about all the lovely instruments involved.
Thank you Sophie. ♡Obviously, I am mentioning no instruments, as my after-chipmunk-tt mindset is still suspicious! :D

First thing we did after the challenge ended was 1)Turn the PS5 on
2)Subscribe to PS + premium - curious enough, the discount offer ended August 1st. I bet they new we needed a you can play without guilt moment.
I think I should have drafted a royalty agreement before leaving. Can you imagine getting challenge bonus options each time the chipmunks were mentioned?I'd be the most requested member! *giggles*
Sophie wrote: "I had lots of fun modding this one. And yes, the mods had more fun than is reasonable with chipmunk set up!"At least there is the consolation that you had to do these tasks yourselves too, lol.

Hubby and I just finished a mega run of 7 days to Die on our PCs.
Nothing like exploding a few zombie heads to relax, lol.

They can request all they want. Doesn't change the fact that you're on my team 😜
Right now, I am playing book-stalker along the pools and the beach and secretly oggling what books people are reading on their vacation. (giggles) I am always curious and you never know where your next book recommendation may come from. :)
I spotted a guy reading SAS: Rogue Heroes by Ben Mcintyre which has been on my TBR for a while. :)
Thanks so much to the mods for everything! Also can't lie, I enjoyed the Chipmunks challenge 😅 I liked the concept and some of the challenges forced me out of my comfort zone and to be creative in a very good way! And it really made the team chat and plan and strategize so from a captaining & social standpoint, it was really cool 😊
