R3: Team Challenge Scavenger Hunt-General Discussion
General Rules:◈ A new item will be called every Friday morning, Mountain Standard Time. (I am going to aim to get it posted before I take my daughter to school at 8am.) You can use the time zone converter to determine the time difference between Colorado and your time zone.
◈ Each team member must choose a book to read with the item in the story, on the cover or in the title. All team members pick their own book, it can be the same as other teammates or different. Once all team members have read the book and posted a short review (review must be posted in the thread not a link) the team will receive a point for the item. (Your review must include the weekly item you are reading for, a link to the book, the date you read the book, a 1-5 star level and at least 2 sentences then any other items you are claiming) You must start reading the book after the item is called.
◈ Only one book may be claimed for each item of the week of the challenge but up to 4 items may be claimed from a book, (one of which must be the item of the week). If a team reads their books right it is possible to get all 32 items in 8 weeks and win the challenge.
*If an item is called that a player already has claimed a point for, the player must still read the item again to be able to claim extra points for their team. The item can only be counted once by each player, so the previous earned item will be nulled.
* You do not have to finish your book with in the week, but your team will not get the point until you do finish.
*New Twist The items are separated into 4 groups: person, place, thing and color. While you can claim 4 items a week you can only claim 1 item per list, per weekly book claimed.
◈ Books must be at least 200 pages or equivalent. Anthologies do count but the review must include each short in the book. Audiobooks & e-books are acceptable.
◈ Team size will depend on the amount of people who sign up. All team members are expected to post updates multiple times a week. An acknowledgement of the posted item and a book review should be done each week, as well as conversing with your team. If you can’t commit to reading a book a week that applies to this challenge please don’t sign up.
*If a player fails to post after 5 days (with exception to pre-arranged absences), the remaining team players can vote to bring in a sub and remove the non participating player. Any player falling 2 weeks behind in their reading may also be replaced by the team. Substitute players will be allowed to claim any items not yet read by the removed player, in books they have read since unfound items were called.
◈ The item list will be posted as soon as I finalize it, you can start looking for books to read for the challenge as soon as it is up, but no reading until the challenge starts.
◈ Only 11 items will be called and the challenge will be over November 16th.

I love there are lots of returning players and super excited to see lots of new players! If you newbies have any questions feel free to ask them here too.
I would like to try this as I love team challenges but I will need help from my team captain as we go along.

If I get time early this next week. I want it by Monday, but no promises. I have my list made up, but I need to check it twice. Since there isn't a specific genre involved here I need to make sure the items are fairly easy to find in general book populations, not just the ones I read. And that they can be found on covers as well as in the book.

thinking about joining. This is a publicity stunt for you all to beg me to join (should I change my name to Ezi Lohan or Low-han?) because I am a star. SMH. she is such a train wreck
Ezinwanyi...I will personally get down on my hands and knees and beg you to join. I love playing with you....or against you....you are a worthy opponent!
Oh stop it (blushing)...will you make signs proclaiming my greatness? Will your write sonnets of my victories? Will history judge me as a legend? LOLSeriously Katya, I am sure you already know of my challenge addiction. I was having a little fun with Dawn
actually she was thinking how to make Katya crazy and it worked!
You're GRRRREAT!
Signs I can do... sonnets you are outta luck, hun.
