[Pam]

Ready for a roll please! (1)

[Rachel N.]

rolls for 10-21

Ellen 3
Joy 5
Pam 5

[Joy D]

This takes me off the end of my Conductor Loop 7 Board. I will set up Loop 8 later today.

[Sue]

Congratulations Joy!

[Sue]

Ready for my next roll (1)

[Joanne]

Tom has a pool going (on the sly, he thinks) as to how many loops Joy will finish before Dec 31st. He has it back in the Caboose behind the bar-if anyone is interested in a little wager

[Theresa]

Tom always thinks he's got things going 'on the sly'.

PSST - rumor has it that Gnarly has been reselling Meowy Wowwy at a premium and keeps upping his bid in the pool. Need to keep an eye on Gnarly and his bids since he's close to Joy (to whom he first turns when he and Amy are on the outs) and likely is trading on insider information.

[NancyJ]

I’m ready for my next roll (1). If the roll is large enough, I will add a saved award to finish my second Conductor board. I plan to do at least one more round after this.

[Tien]

I'd like a roll please (1)

hopefully this will roll me off my board

[Joy D]

I am ready for my first roll on my new Board, please! (1)

Gnarly was with me, playing with a jingly ball this morning.

[Rachel N.]

Shake it up Sunday

Sue I'm sorry to say you've been picked and you need to move back 2 places and read that book before moving forward with the roll I'll give you today.

I know Sue asked for a roll and I plan to still do that. I'm not sure if this has happened before but that feels like the right thing to do.

I had to encounter Ursula eventually!

In a way it's really good to have it fall on a day when I need a new roll. I'll read Ursula's Choice from 2 spaces back (Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982) then jump to whatever my roll is from today.

[Rachel N.]

Rolls for 10-22

Sue 3
nancy 2
Tien 4
Joy 6

[Joy D]

My last 2 rolls were 5,6 so I will be reading a book from someone else's Board in addition to the one I landed on.

[Tien]

Yay! That rolls me off Porter :D

Have just posted my Engineer board, could I please have a roll (1)?

[Joanne]

Toot! Toot! Tien

[Sue]

Congratulations Tien!

[Joy D]

I am ready for another roll, please! (1)

Note: I read both The Maniac from my Board and The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store from NancyJ's Conductor 2 Board.

Awesome. I plan to read The Maniac too - next year, if not sooner.

[Robin P]

I am ready for another roll of 1 die, thanks!

I finally had a book that matched the monthly tag, but only 2 people tagged it, so no bonus.

[NancyJ]

I’m ready for my next roll please

[Rachel N.]

Rolls for 10-23

Tien 6
Joy 4
Robin 4
Nancy 3

[Joy D]

Woohoo! My last 2 rolls were 6-4, which qualifies for a special advantage.

In conjunction with this roll, I will use a move-ahead 2 spaces earned from a tag-related benefit, putting me on space 12.

[Tien]

Thanks, Joanne & Sue :D

Totally oblivious to where I was on the train but I guess I'm back in the Caboose now... with Kate?! Bringing a bottle (or ten?) of chilled tangerine wine to share

How nice, it almost makes me wish I was back in the Caboose. I've never had tangerine wine and would love to taste.

[Joanne]

I love the taste of tangerine! I will sneak in for a sip!

[NancyJ]

I added a special advantage to my roll, and I rolled right off the board! I finished my Conductor #2 on the slow local route, while playing with the puzzles.

I’m planning one more round. I’m trying to cash in my extra rewards for some sight seeing excursions. Or are there any special shows planned?

[Sue]

Congratulations Nancy!

I'm in the caboose!

[NancyJ]

Thanks Sue.

I’ll join you all in the caboose tomorrow. I’d like to try some tangerine wine too,

[Theresa]

I'll just continue to pout and plot against Ursula in the Porter level Baggage Car....

Oh, and there should be some Halloween decor going up this week - throughout the train. CGI Tom thinks he's secretly planning a Trick or Treat Party -- and supplying costumes for all from his favorite Hollywood costumer -- Heh, Heh. The trick's on him ....

[Amy]

Tangerine Wine - Yum! And I love the idea of the Halloween Decorations. Do we get to Trick or Treat in each of the cars?

[Tien]

Trick or Treat... don't give Ursula any ideas pls!!

I had my first taste of Tangerine wine just last week. Hence, the need to share the loveliness.

@Cindy: yay! come and have a glass or two with me :D

Nancy your special roll is not noted on your board-can you please do that for me? forget what I said, I see at the bottom-please do add it to your board though, so that Anita sees it right away, thank you.

Cindy, could you please update your board and bold the book you are currently reading-thanks

[Joanne]

Tom and the cabana boys highjacked some of Tien's wine 😠

[Rachel N.]

Joy your special advantage is that you may skip any book you land on that has at least 5 people who tagged it DNF (or any version of that i.e. did-not-finish, abandoned, etc.). Your subsequent roll will move you forward from that spot of the skipped book. You may use when you wish.

[Rachel N.]

Since I'm still driving the train in the locomotive spot can I declare tangerine wine for everyone? I'm hoping to finish my book tonight.

Ok I though I already did, but I moved stuff around last night. I’m transitioning to a new board

[NancyJ]

I’m ready for my next roll (1).

I have the first 20 of my new board frozen and posted. I’m finishing up the rest of the board now and will post the rest shortly.

[Rachel N.]

Rolls for 10-24

Joy 1
Nancy 5

[Joy D]

In conjunction with this roll, I will use a tag-related benefit to move forward 5 spaces, putting me on #18.

You can do that? I don't remember Anita ever letting someone get a roll before their new board was fully loaded and it's screen shot taken.

I'll join you with a pop! :-) (I don't drink!)

Sorry about that! I haven't started it yet, but it will be next up! I will go bold it, anyway.

[Linda C]

I am so behind. I am ready for my next roll.

[Joy D]

[Theresa]

All - I'll be handling the rolls today - Ursula! Watch out!

However, due to work commitments, it will be between 5 and 6 PM EDT before I can do so.
