Hey Team o/I honestly have no idea what to suggest as Team name, do you have any ideas? I have no creativity today 🤣
I don't have a preference with which clown to start, anyone is fine :)
@Donna Thank you for once again a fun roundup! This time I did sign up right away, not just as reserve player :P Honestly, I always ended up joining a team in the first few days of a challenge anyways so might as well xD

Kill All the Clowns No clowning around

I like No clowning around 😂
I had send in the clowns but there is already a team called that.
Well I'm fine with any of those suggestions :)
Let's start with Sweet Tooth then? Since we do need to decide xD
And about the team name, is it No clowning around then?
Mod
Marcus "Needles" Kane, commonly known as Sweet Tooth, originally appeared in the Twisted Metal video games series before making his debut on the Twisted Metal television series. He wears a clown mask and carries a machete. He is notably missing his trademark flaming hair for most of the series, although it does appear at one point.
Sweet Tooth escaped from the Blackfield Asylum when the apocalypse started. He settled in Lost Vegas with his best friend Harold, an inanimate paper lunch bag. He rides around in an ice cream truck and rides around the city as a notorious serial killer feared by many. He is psychopathic while having a sense of humor. He likes to perform but expects total honesty from the crowd. He will murder those who betray or cross him.
Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books set during an apocalypse
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with ice cream on the cover
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books tagged humor
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a flame on the cover
Mod
I can find books for most of these chains but nothing for apocalypse. I tried that genre before but it doesn't match my reading taste. Sorry...
Well, can we agree to save that for last then? Because I have no idea what to read for the apocalypse task either xD Which chain would you like to go for first?
You're faster than I can type Jayme xD I guess we go for humor first then?
I wasn't sure about rules for reading different chains at the same time, I think I remember it being we have to finish the tasks of one chain before going for another but I asked in the Q&A to be sure 🤔
I love humor! I have a book next in line :)
I checked the rules above that we can read for all the chains at any time as long as it's for one clown. We cannot request for a new clown unless we finish one.
Edit: Based on the rules on message 1 of our thread.

Edit: Yeah, she said as long as it's not specified ✨
If you guys have something for the other chains, i didn't so i went for humor.

Mod
Yeah there's nothin..."
Everyone misunderstood the rules last year. You always could read the chains in any order as long as it wasn't specified otherwise. Sometimes, you have to do a spellout first to immobilize a creature or something. It really depends on what you are capturing. I have a creative mind. What can I say?

Oh noes, at least I wasn't the only one then haha xD

Kindle Unlimited
I don't have kindle unlimited.
Maybe we can switch then? You read 2 humor books instead of one apocalypse, and 2 with flame on the cover instead of with ice cream on cover? Then maybe if Alyana is fine with it, we can both read one more of either task instead of those two. Ofc since Alyana has a humor book lined up I'd go for the Apocalypse task twice instead 🤔Edit: I just assumed the flame on cover being easier, but whichever is easier for you!
ok i found enough apocalypse stuff to take over 1 book for that task, but since I can't do the chain by myself I can't pick up more than 2 ^^''

Donna approved my 1984 as my apocalypse book :)
Mod
Lexi has brought up a question about your version of 1984. Can you please come back to the Q&A?
Okay, so I'm going to keep looking for an apocalypse book and there's a little chance I'm going to find one.

Donna has decided that the audible version will not work so I'm still looking for a really short one.
maybe a walking dead volume? an omnibus version? not sure how long the issues are

⛓️You may use or drop articles: A, An, The
⛓️If you somehow manage to incorporate a Buddy Read into a chain, you can earn points based on the BR tier system.
⛓️Standard Rules Apply
⛓️At the end of the official challenge (last day of November), your team may choose to continue on at your own pace. There will be no points accumulated after November but you can finish any clowns that you didn't get to during the challenge.
Scoring
You will get 3 points for every completed book (9 per completed chain) PLUS page points.
