Page 1 of this thread has every team completed tasks up to date.
Between team 4 and 9 for the win atm. I think teams 3 and 6 are only 1 task behind 4 and 9.

One is usually the easiest for me, but please no more than three.

Like Vanessa said, Teams 4 and 9 are racing to win. But there are others racing to place. I will be updating my tracking tonight 🤞🏼, and will decide which other teams are competing for placement and which will get a different task once I am completely current again.

Thank you!

MountainKat | 31598 comments Just FYI to everyone - all teams except Teams 4 & 9 will receive the same task when they post in the Q&A that their current task is complete.

Teams 4 & 9 will receive the same task, but it will be different from the other teams.

No, sorry. That indicates the type of work, not that they are wealthy.

I am going to allow 'royalty' - kings, queens, princes and princesses. I will not allow 'nobility' or 'peers' - I've read way too many books with the impoverished lord who needs to marry someone with a large dowry to save the family estates.
