Hahahahahah! Oh, I get it!

So many of you are playing Turf Wars, I may have tolooking into playing the next time it comes around. Are you reading books from specific lists, or just themes or tasks?

[Sammy]

Both! But the list books generally get you more points than the tasks (all down to multipliers). Loads of fun though, even if not getting the lists until the last minute so I can't plan makes me all itchy-scratchy 😂

[Truitt_T]

I'll have to watch out for the next signup - it sounds like fun. Of course, I'll have to try and time it when when I'm not playing a bunch of other things.....

Donna -

I wanted to check that I'm reading the HOB rules correctly.

If I'm reading an omnibus edition or collection, and one of the books included (in its entirety) is on one of the listopia lists, I can use it, right? I was thinking no, but on I reread of the rules, I believe its ok.

Thanks!

I don't see why not. You read the book, correct? If it is included in its entirety, I would say it counts.

Yeah, I'm doing waaaaayyyy too much already, and Wheels is starting in a few weeks too.

Have backed off from a couple of individual challenges just to be able to stay sane-ish, lol.

Who wants to stay sane? You need that Mad Hatter tea party vibe: We're all mad here!

Truitt - if you are mad like the rest of us here (🤣), Sandi takes signups throughout Turf Wars! Of course, we all want you on our team and probably all 3 are represented here!! Lol

Truitt - if you ar..."

UGH!!!!! I cannot believe I am letting you tempt me with this! With other team challenges I'm alreay playing, I might not have much flexibility to pick high scoring books, and then I'd feel as though I were letting my Turf Wars team down. And I never know how many books to say I read in a week - it varies!

It does look like fun, though....

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

You know you wanna play...

[Sammy]

P.S. Team Paul is the fun one... just sayin'... 😁

[Truitt_T]

Well, I've done it - I've asked Sandi to put me on a team. I did mention that my challenge habit enablers were on Team Paul, so we'll see what happens. :)

[Sammy]

I don't think she's refused anyone their choice yet, so there's a good chance 😁

[Angie ☯]

This was the first time, so we didn't get Tru! *sad face*

[Sammy]

Awww, that's sad. I figured with them being in first place now we'd have a chance 😢

[Truitt_T]

🤷‍♀️

[Truitt_T]

Next time!

[Truitt_T]

I admit, I wish I were playing with you - but Sandi seemed concerned about book numbers.

That’s seems odd, if they’re in first place….

[Sammy]

Have fun anyway. I'm sure there'll be someone you know, and if not, there soon will be 😊

[Angie ☯]

Enjoy the game, Truitt!

Oh, I will - thank you for encouraging me, Angie and Sammy!

I do know a few people on the team, so it'll be fine.

And now I understand what you ment about the Lists - planning ahead will be very tricky!

[Truitt_T]

Donna -

Would you be willing to tell us what the bonus points challenge for October will be? I'm trying to plan a little....

Thanks!

Maybe... or you could just look at October's thread to see what they are.

You are sooooo sneaky - and I say this for the second time in less than 24 hours!

I swear I looked for the thread just before I posted.....

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Not me? Don't know what you are talking about.
