Great

Before you made the edit to the post, I was going to suggest we could just have a new, updated card next month, there are so many different prompts left to use, after all. (Yes, I’m greedy 🤣)

This works. It will reward people and I think I did set up the bingo badge to be given multiple times so people can earn it once for doing individual bingo and once for team bingo.

We can just stipulate next month that you need to read a different book than one you read this month.

We could also try and change up the bingo board a bit next month to make things different but I can work with Shibz on the side on that since she made the card. 🤣

If all captains are in agreement, say aye. 🤣 I'm a pirate after all this month. Har, har, har.

I don’t mind a new bingo card for next month or playing individual bingo this month but I want to keep the same team as this month in next bingo…maurauders ki toli stay glued together for next month as well. That’s my deal breaker!🤪

Individual Bingo? Would have simply said no Bingo badge for you this month

@pirates, Guys, is this ok? Personally, I wanted Bingo so that we all can do something as a team and not just for page counts. But not at the expense of people's interest. I don't want anyone to read a genre/language/book that they don't want to just because they made commitment to their team members or read like wackos just for the heck of it without enjoying the books, hence why I wanted Bingo to be postponed with restructuring.

We aren't really at a loss if we postpone Bingo, coz the books will be counted in your individual logs as it is. (Which will boost your chances of getting a higher level)

That said, if we go for individual bingo this month and when Lizzie comes back and redos team bingo with Shreya's suggestion/shreya does it, I don't mind it too, but this is all just me, please pm me/post here what you think. This way, we can still get the badge I designed for this month, and next time whenever shreya/Lizzie host team bingo, we can haave another badge✌🏻

P.S. Shre, next month I'll be hosting BTRC with Vera and after that I think Lizzie is planning on Secret Santa for dec, so if you wanna do next month, you can make the teams and we can handle the rest of BTRC so that the teams are created by the Bingo organizer and are fair

Yes, if all captains agree, let us follow Shreya's advice. Let us make it an individual task (not a group task), and not a mandatory task. Whoever participate will get that Badge.

Thank you, Shreya and GumnaamHaiikoi, for this viable solution.

We can also do it so that people need to complete at least 10 tasks and any one row, column, diagonal for badge. Because 25 total tasks would be a lot. Especially if something doesn't call to people.

I am more than happy if bingo is shifted next month. Please ask for opt-ins again. 😅

How are you planning to reward? 🤔 Will participants get pts for finishing off the lines like the way the teams were being rewarded? Will there be a leaderboard? Or by reward do you just mean the badge?

All the team members who have participated so far deserve a team badge I feel. Individual ka idk what you're planning but team badge milni chahiye. This was a team game after all, that's what we were enjoying most ❤️

Aye aye captain!

I know you are a master host, and donot need suggestions from someone who hasn't hosted a single game but I do have a couple of requests, if you feel that isn't too much.

Reading is a pleasurable activity, at least for me. It's one of my favourite hobbies. I would hate for it to become a rat race like it did for this Bingo. Istg, I never read a book so fast --- the last time I did that was for my semester exams.

Second , I think if a group comprises of slow & fast readers, I would like to make sure this doesn't force either of them to wait for the other and still be a part of a single team. I'm not sure how you'll do that but please think about it.

I'm in agreement for scrapping the whole Bingo for this month. My whole team will probably heave a sigh of relief, and so will I.

We got some valuable insights from the chaos and confusion which we can use as pointers of what NOT TO DO for the next month.

We can make it an individual game so that all the efforts are not lost & people can still be happy. Although I think Marauders' should get the first vote because they have claimed 4 lines ( 2 diagonals, 1 color and 1 row) -- it was a lot of effort from their side which needs to be acknowledged.
