Hello Vikings! :D

(Yes, I was stalking this thread, lol)

Hello Vicky!

Vikiiiiiings ! :D
Time to kick some ass in the next two weeks ! :)

Hey all... working on editing rights for the spreadsheets

Hey Teamies!!!!

Okay, working on a goal spreadsheet - will give access in a bit...

Here's a list of the current goals for the Achilles teams, along with the people who are working on books for the tasks!

CRIXUS

- Read a book where a character is an angel [Sonia]
- Read a book with the word darning in the text [Dragana]
- Read a book with the phrase "Have a kitten" in a book

GANNICUS

- Read a book with a lion [Sara]
- Read a book where a character is a mermaid
- Read a book where a character is a succubus/incubus [Angel]


LET'S DO THIS! :D

I 'll start us off I guess, here is a list of our current goals.


Leonidas Goals:

Read a book that contains the word leek

Read a book that has been turned into a TV show (in progress)

read a book that has been turned into a movie or tv show and the filming is done in Europe ( in progress)

read a book written by an author who was born in South Africa ( in progress)

read a book where a character becomes royalty

Read a book where the amazon ship weight for the hardcover is over 2 pounds (in progress)

Seeing as how Leonidas just discovered the trick to the "have a kitten" task :)

I can do that one. It'll likely be sometime tomorrow though...

Hey !
This is so cool. So nice to see you here.
Its always fun to be on the same team with you after UNO which was like ages ago. :) :P

This is gonna be great !

Okay, I think I didn't miss anyone. Can all the captains and co-captains check if you can edit all spreadsheets (except the status one, of course)

Sonia wrote: "Okay, I think I didn't miss anyone. Can all the captains and co-captains check if you can edit all spreadsheets (except the status one, of course)"

I've got them all.

Hello Vikings!
This is going to be much fun! :)

Okay, so, my suggestion is... we post our read books here (I refuse to check more than 2 threads, sorry) And all goalless books go to the Vikings Goal Spreadsheet

Feel free to add tabs or columns...

I'm also going to create a log thread on the captains group so we don't get lost

Any other suggestion to help with tracking?

Well, thanks to Apoorv, The Vikings have their first hostage:

I have editing access to Saxa & Agron spreadsheets.

Can you check if you can edit both Crixus and Gannicus and the goal one, please?

Sorry Laura, my bad, I forgot to press the send button... too many tabs...

Till the time we all get used to who is on which team, it would be great if everyone posts their original team name when they post their completed books.

Also, some details like Chapter #s, Character Names, Setting of the Book and any other Miscellaneous information will make it easier for the captains to update.

You guys are awesome.. and I cant wait to get this started. :D

*fans himself and faints*

Well damn! I can totally get on board with hostage taking! ;)

Well, Apoorv said he can't leave him behind so...

Okay... it's past 2 AM, I need to have some sleep, have fun guys!

Read lots, take plenty of hostages!

G'night, Sonia! :D

Hello all, I am excited for our next segment of crazy fun I am working on one of the Agron's goals. I think we might be wading through until we get a good system going, but it sounds like you all are getting it set up.

Can we take some of our own hostage? Rollo looks like he needs a friend!

Hi Margaret, glad to team up with you again! :D



On a game related note, I may be reading a book that will fill the royalty task: The Summer Prince. I'm not very far in, so I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like the Summer King is chosen from commoners. I'm going to go do some reading before bed, I'll come back and let you all know for sure if it will work as soon as I know!

I couldn't remember if I had actually claimed the South African task, so on the oft chance I did...
