It is not required. Most people do. I would like some sort of general location such as a chapter.

[[deleted user]]

Good to know! That'll save time when posting the finished book. :)

[Sheila]

I was wondering about future draws. So I have finished the book for BED and have claimed for example Celebrity from the People list. What happens if Celebrity is the next draw? Will I still have to post a location for Celebrity and then my other 3 items or can I list any book for the other 3 items since I have already claimed Celebrity?

I guess ultimately I'm wanting to know if next week I can pare down my things to look for list by the 4 items I have already claimed this week.

[PepperP0t]

Your book will still need to contain a celebrity item though you for you to claim the other 3 items. You canot score for the same item twice, since you have scored for celebrity you cannot score for it again.

[Sheila]

So for right now the only item I can scratch off of my to look for list is BED?


Thanks Pat

[PepperP0t]

no, you can claim the other three items. each week you are trying to claim as many as 4items. hopefully at the end of 8weeks you will have all 32marked off.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Ok, Sheila next week you are only looking for your remaining 28 items. Since you claimed 4 this week you don't need those 4 anymore.

However, if one of the items you have already claimed and it is called next week, you have to find it in another book. You alread have your point for that item so you don't get an extra point for it, but you then have the ability to claim 3 of the other items you haven't yet.

[Alyssa]

That is an awesome cover, Ezinwanyi.

[Ezi]

Thanks Alyssa...the book was pretty good

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Congrats to the Phenomenal Five for being the first on the board with a team point!

[Lina]

Just saw this, Dawn. Thank you! We were a bit excited:-)
BTW, really loving the Team Overview thread you've got happening this time. Is that new or was I just completely unobservant last round?

It is new. I coppied the idea from southpaw on the Crazy Challenge Connection. Now I just need to remember to keep up with it.

Week 1 Update


Points

1= Phenomenal Five
1= ONEderful Item Collectors
1= Victorious Vixens

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Team Captains please make sure your team mates are checking in for the item and let me know if there is anyone who hasn't.

[Jenne]

Will do!

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Random statistical note:

Every team had someone claim the item green last week so that means at minimum we are up to a 9 week challenge instead of 8. Oct 26th is the earliest a winning item could be called.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Random score update:


Team 1~ 13%

Team 2~ 15%

Team 3~ 16%

Team 4~ 19%

Team 5~ 18%

Team 6~ 19%

[Sheila]

Dawn I think you gave Laura credit on the spreadsheet for my post #70 in the Forensix team

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Laura hasn't posted her book yet.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Got it fixed, thanks for catching that.

[Sheila]

Thanks Dawn

[Kim]

You can add me as a back up player! I dropped out right before the game started, because school was starting. I was afraid I would be too busy and not have time to read very much and I didn't want to let my team down. But school has started and we are actually less busy now than in the summer!

That is perfect. It was your original team that lost another player after you left. So you can hop right back in there and we are all set for the next item to be called in the morning!!!!!!

[Alyssa]

Yay! Item! Item! ITEM! *chanting*

(I'm getting excited with SOS Bingo starting up again...)

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

LOL! You still have 10 hours Alyssa you are going to be horse by the time the shelf comes.

[Kim]

How does it work when you replace a player? Do I only claim items the player I am replacing has not claimed?

I just posted in your teams thread.

[Rosina]

Wow week 1 done. Time for another item tomorrow morning. Love scavanger hunts. Good luck everybody.

Just out of curiousity who is playing SOS Bingo?

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

I am on team 9.

[Rosina]

I am on team 15.

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos), Group Creator]

I am on team 8

[Alyssa]

Me for Bingo! I'm on team 5. You're going down, Dawn! :-P

Seriously though, I was looking at the Past Winners thread. Judithe has been on the winning team 3 out of the 5 rounds so far. Someone's a lucky duck. Hehe.

[Paris]

I'm on team 17 in SoS Bingo! So excited to start that. Wonder what it'll be like to have this, SoS Bingo and TCF's Words With Friends at the same time.

Seriously Alyssa? Might have to try to figure out a way to make Mr. Randomizer give me Judithe on my team next round. lol

[Alyssa]

Yeah, seriously, Paris. I was on her team for Round 2. That was the first time she was on a winning team. I wish there was a way to bribe Mr. Randomizer, but he's just too much of a goody-goody. Haha.

She was also on the winning team in Round 3 and this last round, Round 5. It might be a pattern....

Round 1 - no win
Round 2 - win
Round 3 - win
Round 4 - no win
Round 5 - win
Round 6 - ????

Darn it, I bet she's planning on winning again! Let's take her down, ladies!

Mr. Randomizer is too much a goody goody. I spent all last round trying to figure out what I could use to get him to do what I wanted. No go though.

[Michelle]

I am willing to be a back up if needed :)

[Jenne]

I'm on team 3!

[Adele]

I am on team 4 and also playing ccc bookshelf bingo and wordplay and yahtzee

Wow I have 4 team challenges a week to read for. gonna be a busy fall. thankfully the books can overlap.

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I'm on team 8!

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Just a reminder, even if you have already claimed the item of the week you will still have to read a book with the item in it to claim points for this week.

There were several people who already claimed it so I know it will come up again.

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Michelle I will put you on the back up list. Thanks.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Thanks Zina and Dawn. I was trying to to find a new famous landmark and the Garden District of New Orleans will be in my next book.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Dawn~Would the Bodleian Library in Oxford England count as famous landmark?
