December Subdue the Shelf Roll Requests

[Amy]

I have hit 70% on the Nesting Dolls, which my friends is a five star read, as Robin has been telling us. When I can complete this, its the second half of my Wicked 11! Can she do it by December 20th? And maybe even roll off the board? Ursula, give the girl a 6! I will do best to do my part by getting to or through the Sleepwalker, although I will have to note whose shelf it came from, and I must find where I noted that.

[Joy D]

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

62 is so impressive. I didn't read 62 for the year, never mind for a single challenge.

[Sue]

I'm happy with where I'm ending up. I may or may not be able to finish my current book before we all exit the train, but I finished 44 books with this challenge.

I'm assuming that ALL trains will arrive at the station closest to the racetrack?

[Joy D]

In conjunction with this roll, I am using a tag-related benefit to move ahead 1 space, putting me on #18.

Sue, alerted Cabana Boys to have chariots, carriages, rickshaws and any other means of transportation available to shuttle everyone to the track. All animals will be in the barns at the track, rubbed down, decked out and ready to go.

[Theresa]

@NancyJ - check message #153 - I'm very grateful and happy to accept my extra 2 rolls now! I won't be starting my next book until this weekend so will add to today's roll.

I've arranged for a few electric tuk-tuks to be dropped off to assist with the transfers! The Cabanna Boys, Firefighters, the Butler and the rest of the attendants will be driving them and otherwise assisting.

[Theresa]

I just want to say that the Conductors have added a whole new level of fun and excitement to Subdue Express with these final gifts!

Instead of sleepily pulling into the final station, it's chugging away and a party atmosphere.

Conductor Bonus Porter Rolls
12/14 Theresa (3-5)

[Amy]

Wait - Conductor Nancy, I think you just saved me! No hitchhiking needed I think!. So if I actually requested a new roll since December 1 as a Porter, which I have, on my new request, I can roll the dice twice? Surely that gets me off the board if Ursula doesn't grant the beloved Six... I also have participation points...... But this could get me off the board.... What a nice gift, thank you....

I didn't see any requests from you on this thread yet, but your next one will def qualify. When you request your next roll from Anita, you'll get one from her and two dice from me. Are you requesting it tomorrow? If I missed it, let me know what message # it was. Almost done!

[Amy]

Oh no, I’m still in the nesting dolls. I have to finish that and pick up the sleepwalker and after I finish the sleepwalker, then I can get you guys to roll me off the board.

[Amy]

But thank you! This was the push I needed.

Thank you, conductors! Woot! I will add them to my next roll - hopefully this weekend!

[NancyJ]

Glad to help!

[Linda C]

I'm ready for another roll, please.

[Joy D]

In lieu of a roll today, I will use one of my special advantages from earlier in the game to move ahead 19 spaces to #37. Will note this on my Board.

[NancyJ]

I'm ready for my next roll please (1). Anita, I have a special advantage from August, based on Chocolate Chip Cookie day to move 21 spaces. I also have a small tag related reward that I'd like to use. Can I add both of them to my next roll, or just one of them? Thanks!

Thank you Nancy and the Conductors! I really am working my eyeballs off trying to finish this second Engineer loop. I'm so close and yet so far, I was starting to despair that it wouldn't happen. But this should guarantee that I make it one way or another. It might be on the 20th exactly, but I WILL get there!!!

[Theresa]

Go for it, Pam!


I have no prayer of reaching the end of my Porter board but I have great hopes of making it into 1st Class at least!

Off to read!

Thanks for making this so clear Diana!

[Pam]

Whoop! That did it for me. If I use my generous gift from the Conductors, I can officially call myself an Engineer -- and I have never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth :)

That makes four loops and 60 books total for me. I know I got incredibly lucky with lots of big rolls and special advantages up until all the 1s and 2s these last couple of weeks.

Thank you, Anita, and everyone who has filled in for her and tracked us on the master gameboards and kept us fed and entertained along the way. I had such a great time with this challenge!

[Daniel]

I'm going to use my conductor bonus roll of 6 to move me 7 total

2 space reward is quite nice, but I don't think I'll be able to use it by the end of the game. I've only started a new book today and I'm not that fast of a reader.

Not sure if I'll have time to use my bonus, what date does the game officially end again?

[Theresa]

Please give me my next roll please - 1.

This will be my last roll for the game - won't get me off my Porter board but at least into a more luxurious car - though all starting to show hard use.

And the Baggage Car was getting so crowded as all the Steeplechase mounts and animal companions are loaded on for transport to the Racetrack!

December 20. I imagine there might be a tiny bit of wiggle room for the last reviews.

What space are you on now?
