Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Maybe. But I haven't started writing it yet so it depends on how soon that comes together.

So sorry. The way you were talking about things I assumed that you had it already planned and ready to go. No pressure, just wanting to preplan my reading.

Btw, what's involved in writing questions for the BOM?

You get assigned a day and a set of chapters and you read through and post questions for people to answer that day.

Some of the newer BOMs have a big description at the top with an explanation (link). You can also look at others examples.

It's ok. Some months I'm further along than other months :)

Oh no! It's that time of the month

*Locks Tea in the Caravan thinktank room*

We'll have to see what Karen wants her birthday quest to be. I suppose she could have a birthday caravan item instead. :P

BTW I just asked Karen what she wants her quest to be so if you want to go send her chocolates to try to bribe her you can :P

We never could have made it to 10K members without each of you. We'd like you to help us celebrate by adding your voice to the mix and helping choose our next team challenge.

The mod's have brainstormed up 7 different team challenge idea's. Now it's up to you to choose the best! The polls will close in one week and the winning challenge will be announced in the May newsletter.

Vote Here!

I've posted here since many of the challenge ideas will appeal to hero's in Novel Kingdom. If you don't plan to join any of the team challenges please don't vote. You may read through all the descriptions without voting if you want to.

Oh more challenges!! I want to do them all!

MULTI PLAYER RPG, HELL YES!

:P Ones that get high marks but aren't chosen will stay in the pool for next time we need a new challenge. So they won't go away unless they're pretty far down in ranking.

I definitely voted for that one!

Muhahaha.

At this point I'm leaning towards picking two to do back to back to satisfy both types of people but we'll see how the numbers shake out when it's all said and done. There's definitely different types of people/readers in the group.

The multiplayer RPG is the one I voted for as my favorite, too. Although, I have to admit that I do like the idea of individual challenges because sometimes I need a little break from teams. =p

I wish I read enough books to compete in some of these Group Challenges. They sound fun. I'm a slower reader, though, so I feel like I'd be holding my team back. I like the idea of being a minion, though. ;)

That's what I was thinking when I wrote that one. I was thinking about Everquest and when they started letting people play as the monsters in certain adventures so once in awhile you'd hit a monster with actual human intelligence.

But don't feel like you can't be a part of the others. We make the teams to balance estimated books read so no one hurts their team by reading less.

I'm only one book away from my house and four books away from my bunny! Can't wait to finish these up and then get onto planning May's quests!

BTW. House will come in useful for May's quests.

Sorry I know this has come up a lot, but I'm still a little confused.

Which quests can we use the "Find Items Potion" for? I'm assuming we can't use it for the house, bunny, sandwich ones. But, what about "Sir Audrey Jane Break-in" or other similar Midas quests?

Also! Quest crisis fellow knights! I can't decide if I should go for the bunny or the house. Help!

Both :P


I started with horse when it came out, but now going for bunny. I need those eggs!
Speaking of bunny, any recommendations for Easter books?

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of using it for the midas quests. Let me give it a thought and I'll get back to you. I was planning on putting notes in the quests where you can use the potion.

RebeccaS wrote: "Also! Quest crisis fellow knights! I can't decide if I should go for the bunny or the house. Help!"

Bunny will give you rewards sooner.

There will be an addition to the house next month. I plan to leave both bunny and house quests active for a long time if that helps.

RebeccaS wrote: "Also! Quest crisis fellow knights! I can't decide if I should go for the bunny or the house. Help!"

Definitely bunny. I've already collected 6 HP for doing nothing

Both are equally useful. I plan on offering horse components in Reva's Caravan & Market emporium for April's Caravan. If time allows, bunny too so save up your gold! Accepting pre-orders now.

*snorts*
What gold? Do you take IOUs? :P

Are you going so sell eggs too? :)

❀Tea❀ wrote: "Are you going so sell eggs too? :) "

Pfft. The eggs rot in a week. They're a bad deal for longevity :P

And that is the reason. :) If she can use it, it gone without fulfilling its purpose.
This way she gets it and sells it immediately. I buy it and eat it. It's matter of hours, not days. And egg doesn't rot :P

I'll be in the market for a rabbit on the cover. Need some gold first though :-P

My current HP is 8. It was 2 two weeks ago. When I get to full HP. I attack something so I'll never rot any eggs. :-)

Sorry, didn't think eggs were for sale anyway. But books, I'll have lots of books.

Frankly, I thought that the Find items potions' attractiveness was in its ability to really cut down on a lengthy quest. Since there's only one, there'll still be plenty of quests throughout the year where people will still have to complete 100% of the requirements.

I think you're being a bit restrictive as to where it can be used Kelly. Particularly for those readers who don't read as much as others.

Okay awesome everyone! I'll work on that Bunny first

I didn't do all of march's Midas quests are those still open?

Mary wrote: "I didn't do all of march's Midas quests are those still open?"

I dont believe that there were any stated time limits except for those quests which were expiring.

I was only asking because it's a different type of quest

I personally put a priority on the MIDAS QUESTS in order to have as much gold available for buying the really unusual items like the Familiar.

Mary wrote: "I was only asking because it's a different type of quest"

Right now they're all still active.

Everyone! say hello to my little bunny :) I finished the challenge this morning

Hello Angel's bunny!

;)

Hello little bunny :)

Congrats on the bunny! I'm still trying to find books to fill the tasks!

Kelly, For the BOMs, I finally have a BOM I want to read, but it is May's back room one. I know it is a more informal reading but can I volunteer to do questions for it? How do I go about doing that?

When we make a thread you say you want to do DQs. Then you'll get a date and part and read :)

Thanks!

Yup. We did DQ's for this months backroom one. I imagine we will for next one, especially since it's during the challenge.

I volunteered for Red Rising but haven't heard anything back yet.

Seriously cute bunny, Angel. Good work.

They randomize volunteers 3 days before the book is scheduled to start if there's more volunteers than question days.
