Challenge One

Hello team :)

Hello! Here's my shelf Battle of the Gods Celtic

No idea what's going on here, but saw Team Challenge and had to sign up. :) Now we have to wait till May...

I'm with you Sunshine. I don't know how to play either. There has to be more than just spelling out your teams power. Guess we'll wait until things are explained further.

My shelf: Battle of the Gods Celtic

Hi everyone. I'll add a shelf soon and post it.

When will the reading for this challenge begin? and can books only be used if they're started after the challenge begins? Also is there a points score thing (the rules were a little vague, but I love team challenges so I just signed up).

Here's my shelf: Battle of the Gods

If you look under the Pantheon vs Pantheon thread, that has about all the info that's available right now.

Oh. Yeah I just saw that.

I'm confused, will we get a new word every week or do we just keep spelling the same word over and over?

Here is my shelf:

That's my confusion too. For 20,000 points we'll be spelling that one word a whole lot.

Do we spell it as a team or individually?

We spell it as a team, that I saw answered in the FAQ thread.

Yes you spell the word as a team and I will be posting mini challenges through out the game to earn your team points

Should have all the links for the shelves up so far

Hi Team! Can't wait to start this seems like it's going to be fun :)

Here is a link to my shelf Celtic Battle of the Gods

There are several listopia lists for Celtic Mythology, Any of these books are worth 50 points instead of 25
Celtic Mythology:

That's perfect cause I just read the first book in the Iron Druid series so I'll hold off reading the rest till this game starts. :D

I was looking through my bookshelves and my kindle and I have 22 series that deal with some kind of god or goddess so I think I have lots to read for this challenge :)

It might be helpful if you'd list those series or provide a link to a shelf some of us (me particularly) could use the help. :)

Yeah I can't think of a single book I've read or want to read that would fit this theme. I guess it's not my usual reading style... any recommendations would be welcome.

OK here is what I have after looking at my bookshelves.

Does all the books being read for this challenge have to be about mythology. Not that I mind.

Eternal Guardians by Elisabeth Naughton also focuses on the Mythology genre.



I have several of those series you posted, Kat on my TBR list as well :)

Btw. I know absolutely nothing about the Celtic mythology. I have the Iron Druids on my TBR list - so maybe this will be the time to read it. The mythology I know most about is the Norse, as I grew up with tales about Odin, Thor and Freja - and now the Greek after reading different books about it recently.

:Starcrossed by Jose..."

Thanks. I have heard of (but never read) Rick Riordan as an author vaguely. But every other book and author you listed is completely new to me. It looks like I have a lot of research to do.

I just finished Percy Jackson last month, and just finished the first book in Rick's spin off series Heroes of Olympus yesterday . I really enjoyed it. Even though it's targeted toward middle grade as well. I like the humor in the story.

I'll look through my books and see if I can find some more stories that centers around mythology.

[bookcover:Marked|763562..."

I don't think the books we read have to deal with Mythology we just get more points if they do :)

Don't you think that the bonus points only work if we read something Celtic? In the thread Pantheon vs. Pantheon it says we get 50 bonus points if the book centers around our Pantheon.

This is what Lizz wrote in the Book Verification Thread.

Ok I am thinking I am going to let it be about any gods not just the ones in the battle. So if you read a book that has the Native American gods in it you will get the 50 points

I'm assuming this goes for all other gods as well

Oh ok. I hadn't seen that. Then it makes sense :)

Should have all the links up so far let me know if I missed anything

Lizz you didn't link my shelf I posted my link to it in message #18

Thanks

Since we can read any mythology book for the bonus points, here's a link to listopia's mythology lists.

Anita wrote: "Does all the books being read for this challenge have to be about mythology. Not that I mind."

NO. only the books for the bonus points have to be about mythology. All other books can be any genre.

Joanne wrote: "I'm confused, will we get a new word every week or do we just keep spelling the same word over and over?"

according to the FAQ section, we just keep spelling the same word over and over again. If we spell it as a team, we get 100 points in addition to the per book points. If we spell it individually, we only get the per book points.

20,000 points is huge, we're going to have to spell shapechanger 50+ times.

ETA: According to Lizz, "each team spells out their power but each book you read and doing the mini challenges will count to points also. "

1. Apparently you can start reading now but have to finish the book after May 3rd for it too count. I never did find this rule fair to any team.

2. We have to finish each word before we move onto the next one.

Per Lizz - "Each teammate contributes to the word and once the word is done you get 100 points and then your team can try and spell it out again for another 100 points and so on"

This is the planning spreadsheet Romans have created.

We probably need to do something like this too. Anyone know how?

Sorry I know nothing about making spreadsheets

I haven't a clue about spreed sheets, sorry :(

So how are we going to handle this, are we going to assign letters say each week or are we just going to wing it.

I'm overly obsessed with planning things out ahead of time, I'm a planner and a list maker that's just a tiny bit of my OCD kicking in :)

oh any idea who is the captain? I didn't see anything posted anywhere

Once you find a captain and/or a team name just message me

Here's the link to my shelf 2015-celtic-team

Who hasn't checked in yet?

I think that those who haven't given their shelves yet

So just

Minttu
Mallory Heart

I can do a nice enough spreadsheet but nothing that fancy :D I'll play with it a bit tomorrow, but if someone else knows how to feel free to do it

Going to start message people who haven't checked in

I have the mini thread open Here so go check it out. I am still working on mini challenges so if y'all have any ideas feel free to tell me
