Thanks Kadyn, I've capped it at 5.

Sorry for all the mix up people. my head hasn't been in the right space for a while. I can tell I didn't think this through properly.

You don't have to beat yourself up for nothing Lizzie. Sometimes in games, it so happens that confusions occur and clarifications are needed only when the details are ironed out..& while people are actually playing. You are one of the best organisers I know and trust me, you listened to all of us, you are fair and doing a wonderful job! So no worries.

Humne nahi kiya shayad wahi se problem originate hua hai . We shifted to discord and all our further discussion happened there... but we are now realizing that this might have given off the wrong impression here. We already have a list of tasks ready and a Bingo card with names against each task... chahiye to idhar bhi post kardenge... to clear any confusion.

We did this because I wanted to know which tasks were up for grabs. But I think it'll be more transparent also. Up to the team members and captains I think.

monsoon_barsha from my team hasn't responded to tags/PM.

Sach batau toh I can't figure out how to get everything done. Some are active, some check in once in a while, toh co-ordinate karna mushkil ho raha hai. Ok Lizzie, we will keep your recent instructions in mind, and change our discussions according to that.

@b: should I be proud that because of us you are adding new rules or embarrassed ?

I have asked my team but mostly people should be okay with taking 5 per head.

Still, I'm hoping it will all go okay from this point on

Riya I suggest making it simple. Each team member who signed up for Book Bingo has to completed 2 tasks for the badge, but if they aren't responding even 48 hours later, then let that team divvy up the tasks and just continue. If that non-responsive member comes back and does complete 2 tasks then great, else at least the teams won't be penalized.

So at this point, if we have people who haven't responded or gave one response and disappeared, we can consider that as "no response" and let us divvy up the rest of the tasks within our teams.

This isn't a race, so I would think we can trust the people participating and the captains to be fair. But we also have a "competition" of sorts and all of us want to win.

In this case, I have a doubt. In case the member happens to be inactive & for eg, I have already taken 5 tasks, so does that mean I cannot take an additional one ?

If I got this right, 2 books per person is the baseline to get a badge, if someone doesn't respond in a team, the person replacing them (say X) has 3 books.

But we are 9 people in my team so that makes 18 books, and that's even if everyone responds, which leaves 7 tasks up for grabs, which means 7/9 of my teammates will get to read 3 books for the bingo. But not necessarily everyone of those 7 want to complete the remaining tasks (because they have already picked what they wanted to read, and/or time constraints) and say for example out of those 7 remaining tasks, only 5 are picked, which means 2 people who are already reading 3 books will have to read 4.

Or am I overthinking the heck out of thiss?🤣

Maths properly har insaan ko ideally 2.7 books deta hai, which is like 3 books, but woh bhi building castles in air waala situation hai.

M tagging my team so that they can see what unhinged person they got as their leader (and also for them to figure out the answer Lizzie's question in this post:https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/167379376)

Back to reading😬

Bro meine bhi toh yehi bola tha ki there's no way a member can take only 2 tasks because there'll be 7 tasks left out, and not everyone will want to take up additional tasks. So kisiko toh 4/5 lena hi padega na ?

Mostly, I think I'm the one that should be embarrassed. I've had a lot going on and I shouldn't have taken up organizing this amidst all that. Should've postponed it or had someone else take it up.

Still, I'm hoping it will all go okay from this point on

Aiyoo mein mazak kar raha tha, and at myself if that wasn't clear. I wasn't aware I'm included in the list of exceptions .

Chill Lizzie, itna bhi badi baat nahi hai. It's all good. Everything is fine!

I'm realising I probably should have thought twice about taking up the captaincy for this month alone, coz it's not something I'm not sure if I am good at. Bas I don't want my team to loose because of my lack of co-ordination.

Yeah you can only take 5 tasks max. But you can finish them at any time to gve your team the edge. You're a fast reader so you can finish all 5 of your tasks to claim a line. But then later tasks will be left to your team mates. This is just to accommodate all reading styles & speeds.

Good idea actually
