Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I would like to help.

I'd be happy to try it out. Bingo would be great.

I would like to help as well. Either game works for me.

I loved Wheelathon. I would love to help test out the website.

I think both would work on the website. I'd love to help out if it's after mid-April

I’d love to help!

I'd be happy to help out with a beta test! I think either game would be a good test, but Bingo might have a few more options for troubleshooting than Wheel.

I volunteer!

I'd be willing to help out as well!

I still think I'd feel better if we could log how a book fits when we assign it to a task.

If the goal is to make it more inclusive to the website and less dependent on GR. The ability to see all the books a team mate has logged on to the required game shelf so nothing is missed.

TowerTeams type points based on page count might be easy as well for testing out some features. Maybe too simplistic.

I agree with the logging how it fits section and will definetly add that part.

I think I can do the shelf part. I know I can get the data, the problem is the time it takes to do that query of goodreads. It's a really slow call for some reason.

Thoughts on it being on a button for refresh and every hour automatically? It could probaly take 4-6 minutes for a whole team update easily based on past experience.

very happy to help, though I'd prefer Bingo to Wheel.

re the shelf call - every hour might be overkill, if there's a refresh/force button. Every 3 - 6 hours might be more stable?

I'm OK with the force refresh option. It could be set to auto pull every few hours or whatever makes sense for server load. If we need newer books loaded we would force a refresh and know that it might take 5 minutes. Even with the previous spreadsheets the refresh option took time, so that doesn't bother me.

I guess i would add with the shelf pull. If there was a team page that showed all the books and indicated used or not that would be nifty.

I would like to help as well. Either game works for me. Not sure when you are planning this but in July I'll be away for a week and not sure about the wifi situation

I'm hoping for March/April or so. Going to take some time to get login and such working. There will probably be some pre-time too where we test out the sign up.

I’d be happy to help.

I'd love to help.

Sounds good Kelly

I'd like to help, my preference is towards Bingo, but either would work
:)

I'd love to help. I've always been an active challenge player on multiple groups so I'm pretty aware of most stumbling blocks that come up. Since I've cut back on the active challenges I have going, I've got more time as well. Always happy to play guinea pig.

I’m in. I’d love to help out.

I was just sitting here thinking about the reading challenges we have... and you know we have a reading challenge all about pet names? cool huh?

Do a gal a favour? Link us up?

Well ok. The original thread is here and it has been reposted to freshen it up here.

We also had so many tasks during Gladiator Games for pet names....

Thanks Karen!
:)

ahhhh.... Gladiator Games! I'd forgotten how much fun that was. Utter carnage by the end! Happy days

Lol
May be more carnage in this game I think ;)

more personal carnage, maybe, but the final rounds of Gladiators, with all those readers on the team? mad.

I like being in my nice, reasonably sized team - the pace is just right, not blink-and-you-miss-it, tasks being "stolen" as you are reading.

Would also like to state here:
DAMN YOU NO "THE" IN TITLE Y PET TASK!!!!

We were super happy with ourselves - found an option, reasonable length, then g*dda@mmit!! a the in the title! #@$$%**$@!!

Bahahahahahahhahaha

*ahem*

Oh that sounds terrible


;)

Well, you were my Mod-of-the-Day till that bit of heartlessness!

Lol!!
