You and Bee have finished 3 tasks already and Mrina has done two.

Our task assignment Bingo card is on first page... no one has been assigned more than 5 tasks... rest assured smiley9. All we are doing is going about it strategically... choosing which order to read books in for each member.. so we are finishing rows, colors, etc instead of just making a messy patchwork of the Bingo card. After all, wasn't that the point of giving that extra day...? To make our strategy...?

We realize it is unfair that other teams have had no show members... and we are lucky to have everyone actively coordinating... but the fault of non-responsive members in other teams shouldn't be laid at our feet because that is equally unfair. Dusre nahi aaye ya nahi cooperate kar rahe wo hamari galti nahi hai. Some teams just click.. and ours did smiley27

Other team captains (or really anyone from the team) can still make their strategies... choose a line / color where most of the readers are fast and ask everyone to read that first, pick shorter reads, help each other with recs, etc. Bingo is all about team work at the end of the day. Our entire team has been hard at work since the last couple of days... we must have made so many diff strategies (and scrapped them) before finalizing on something.. and it still keeps changing. We have all looked for books for each other... and not just for ourselves. Aaj weekday hokar bhi itna reading kiya hai hum sabne... we've all stretched ourselves to the limits tab jaake ye line and color mila hai. Our achievements are hard earned and we would appreciate if everyone remembers that.


Saying all this bcz I feel kahi na kahi iss mess ke liye Marauders ko responsible mana ja raha hai... instead of the no-show / less responsive / less enthusiastic participants.

I hear that but your team also got a 12 hour head start which is totally my fault - in a game that is based on finishing first that seems unfair to me in hindsight. I should’ve realized it wouldn’t be fair on other teams. No one is blaming Marauders but I’m blaming myself.

Ok this is totally my fault and at the cost of getting jootas and gaalis from the Marauders I’m calling a pause on all tags from your team until 8 pm IST tomorrow, Oct 4, since y’all got a head start of 12 hours and now there are fewer lines/ rows left for other teams to claim.

Totally my bad - and Marauders shouldn’t have had a head start - it gave y’all an unfair advantage over the other teams so trying to level the playing field here.

Why till 8pm though? That’s more than 12 hours from now.
