I show The Champions used in task 5.3, post 38. Did you unclaim that at some point?
Mod
Please format your multi-book tasks with Option #/Book read
new line Option #/Book read.
It's very confusing for me to have both options on one line, and both books on one line. In particular, post 2185, mentions Options 1, 2, and 6. Thanks.

I’m checking because now I see I never posted my completed 28.5.
I also have to re-check because I ended up with 925, a number neither of us had.
I did find I didn’t claim a GO ticket for 15.5 because I had first seen the rule was 1950 or earlier. Much later I found it to be changed to 1970
At what point do you have 935? Right now I have that I have completed all tasks but for 25.9 and need to post 20.8

After adding up all the tasks i have done to today at post # 2192, i have 960 pts.
I haven’t counted all tickets yet because I understand because I understand they aren’t necessary if the challenge is completed before Nov 30?
I’m going to post Task completed for 25.8 in a few minutes,
That leaves on 25.9 to complete which I have only half of task to go. So on my last book to complete
Let me know if you need ticket totals anyway for your records.

Tickets are really for a chance to get to create a task in the next season if you don't complete everything this season. If you know you're going to complete the season, it saves the moderator work if you don't keep track. That being said, I kept track of mine this season because I didn't know if I'd actually complete all the tasks.
Mod
25.8 requires green, silver/gray, white, black. There is no white in this one. (A best practice in a TinEye task is to post the color breakdown).
42.5 %#24ac62Green
25.2 %#171717Black
12.3 %#999c84Grey
11.3 %#163f28Green

Well rats! I could have sworn there was white but i think what I did was I took a screenshot of book and probably didn’t trim all the white background off. I just now went to double check and I nearly did that, so maybe?
Ok i have two tasks to complete ☺️
Mod
You already used The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War in post 2052 for task 15.3.
Mod
25.3 - I think you may have misread Option 1: Using the prompt for my most unexpected read, read a book with a main character that is a politician.

I have made the request, could a mod please ok it in the thread for me?

MPG include:
Childrens
Please review the rules for books with the main page genre childrens or kids, or have the book verified in the Not Really For Kids thread.
Mod
15.3 The book you linked to did not meet the publication date requirement (it was in 2009).
Mod
You misread the requirement - read a book that has a 3+ letter title word, you did author's initials.
Mod
Per posting requirements, task claims must include a short description of the task.
Mod
15.10 requires "first letter of each word...there is no "a" in Thundering Smoke. Also please be a little more descriptive when completing your task. A good test is "can the moderator tell exactly what is required by what I posted?" In this task, you told the phrase you used, but not how it applied.
Per posting requirements, task claims must include a short description of the task.
Mod
Per posting requirements, task claims must include a short description of the task.
In this case: Option 3: Her Show 2024
Station Eleven - book is new to me - the task requirement was to read from a specific list, and that the book be new to you.
Please repost all problem tasks with better descriptions
Readerboard name: Christine VHi there! It seems our totals do not match after the last update. The Readerboard shows I have 260 points, but my records indicate 265. Is it possible my last post in Completed Tasks (post 2246) didn't get added? Thanks for checking!

I do have 2246 (5.9) recorded, but that is the only 5 pointer I have for you. Is there another 5 pt task that I might have missed?

No problem, when I checked I saw that I had made a note to myself last week that it was off 5 points, but the number of tasks completed agreed. :-)
I think my points are incorrect. It looks like my post #2200 was missed. I should have 415 points.Thanks
Mod
Thanks"

Per the updated posting requirements:
5. A link to the book edition that qualifies it for the task MUST be included along with the specific task posting information. If you read an audiobook, please link to a print or digital edition that shows a page count. See Verifying Page Counts section of the Rules for more information.
Mod
Your first book does not show the number of pages, please repost and link to a paged edition.
Mod
The book you linked to was an incorrect listing, a librarian will need to combine it with the actual correct listing for the book, and none of the editions show the page count. Please repost using The Dressmaker.

Sorry Kim, I am at work (Australia) and can’t get back on, and I can’t do a repost via my phone, too hard. This author was new to me this season, but understand it won’t count now

Oh drat. I will repost this book for Task 5.10 since I hadn't used that.
