Great thanks

[Shan ~A~]

Ashley, can we roll on the 10/31 to be prepared for 11/01 or do we have to wait?

[Janeylou]

Ashley, how do we decide which of the 2 teams goes first ?

[Kat]

Hey Ashley, all the colours are accounted for apart from white boxes. Is it just one book each player needs to read for this box?

And things on the cover can it be hands or does it have to only be fingers ?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Sorry for the late response! We had an emergency at our house today and I'm just not able to sit and breathe for a moment.


Shan and Janey - there will be a coin flip, I will do that on Monday and let you all know!

Kat, yes, white spaces are just one book. Also, it's books per space not per person. So, if you land on a yellow space your team reads two books, so you can choose which two players are going to read those two books.

I'm not sure I understand your second question, though

[Kat]

Thanks and no worries I’ve got the second question

Since our team rolls the dice first, when do we start? Oct 31st?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Nov 1st

[Bernadette]

Ashley, two questions:

1. do we wait until the first team finishes reading before we roll?

2. if we have to read more than one book, do we enter the "game space" cell more than once and an answer the question again or just enter the book below the one that generated the task?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

1. Yes
2. Yes, just enter the game space and answer twice :)

[Kat]

Once we have read a book and you’ve checked it, do we wait until the other team has rolled and picked a book or do we need to wait until their finished their book?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

It's just like a board game, you have to wait on the other team to conclude there turn.

Ah I get it now. Thanks

[Alyana]

Ashley, one player from our team, Letty hasn't checked in for days now. What should we do?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I will contact her and let you know

[Anastasia]

Just wondering if there is a time limit for how long we have to read our book

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

no time limit

[Anastasia]

Thanks

[Alyana]

Ashley, for the coca-cola prompt, would you accept soda/softdrink? Or it has to be the exact word?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

I will allow soda!

[Alyana]

Thank you!! :)

[Truitt_T]

Just to be on the safe side, will you accept “rack-punch” for punch?

I knew I could count on Georgette Heyer……

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Rack Punch is definitely a punch! On a fun and festive note, here is the recipe:

2 Lemon (peel and juice)
5 oz Sugar (Black sugar)
8 oz Green tea (hot, from 1 Tbsp tea)
6 oz Batavia Arrack
6 oz Water
4 oz Lemon juice (strained)
1 pn Nutmeg (as garnish)
Instructions
Make an oleo-saccharum: in a bowl, muddle lemon peel and black sugar hard to release oils, cover with plastic wrap and place somewhere warm for an hour. Add the tea and stir to dissolve the sugar. Let this cool, strain out the peels, then add the remaining ingredients, which should make about 25 ounces of punch. Strain this into a bottle and refrigerate, garnishing with nutmeg for service

Perfect! Thank you!

[Kat]

Just confirming

I’ve started a book but not finished, a new task has just been announced can I use that book for that prompt? Or does it need to be a new book?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Yes! Anything you start after the challenge is allowed. You just can't bank books, so if you've finished the book before your task is learned, then you can't use that book.

[Brittany]

Does a helmet count as a hat?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

yes!

[Brittany]

Thanks!

[Bernadette]

Ashley - for Dance in the title - can we use "dancer", "dances", "danced" or "dancing"?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

You may!

[Kira]

Hi Ashley, can a player read 2 out of 3 books for a task?

[Truitt_T]

Whoops - we posted at the same time...see above.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

1 book per player per task, please!
If there is an extenuating circumstance or lack of participation, let me know, but otherwise stick to that

[Kat]

We’ve came to a stand still as some players in our other team have disappeared but kira has read two books for it.

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

That will be fire Kat, I'll see what I can do about your missing players

[Kat]

Ashley wrote: "That will be fire Kat, I'll see what I can do about your missing players"

Not mine, it’s the other team, thank you

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

We rolled and landed on "Hat", but when I look that is not an option in the list. Should it maybe be "Head" instead?

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

hah! yes, you're right, I messed up! I will try to fix it this week sometime, but just select HEAD

[Alyana]

Hi Ashley, two of our players have disappeared, what should we do?

[Anastasia]

Just wondering if this book has enough orange for orange cover Thanks

[Alyana]

Oh, one has checked in now...

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Anastasia, l will allow it!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

Alyana, have you tried to contact the other player? If not, please do! If you already have or are unable to message them, let me know who and I'll do it and get back to you!

[Truitt_T]

Quick question, Ashley - one of my teammates would like to know if 'charcoal' will work for coal?

Thanks!

[Ashley, The Tipsy Challenger]

yes
