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 🤣)

I'm always on board to do different and quirky prompts except for less than 3 stars on Goodreads. Wahan pe the suggestions were atrocious!

Nahi dekhna fir bhi better hai than a formal rejection

What are the rules for the individual Bingo this month? Can we count the books we have read? Do we still post it on the same thread on what is completed? This seems pretty confusing on how to go about the whole thing.

I say yes to both. Anyways the team thread is supposed to be a place where the teammates chill, so...

And yes, say I completed 4 tasks, so I can focus on the rest and yeh to complete 1 color/1diagonal/1 coloumn/1 row (or just 1 of each ie 1 color+1diagonal+1 coloumn+1 row) and doing that qualifies us for a badge.

+ reconstruct it in a way where the options are broader. More options like +400 pages, author's name starts with X... so that members (me, I'm the memberS) find it easier to pick a book that also fits their interest!

This should be a different bingo aur alag genres ka ek bingo ho sakta hai kyunki not everyone (me) loves to explore all kinds of genre without hesitation

[Quote=viswasruti] Friends,

In view of the last night's development, I request the captains to kindly take care of the Book Reading Challenge. I'll be there to post the necessary threads with tags prepared by Oh_nakhrewali and winner siggies by missFiesty_69 in continuation, as well as I will be there to award badges. Additionally, if feasible, it would be appreciated if one captain could take the responsibility for the Book Bingo Challenge. In the absence of such an arrangement, we may have to temporarily postpone the Book Bingo Challenge until Lizzie's come back.[only the book bingo challenge]. I am requesting you all to share your views on this matter.

I haven't read through all the tags, posts, or pms just yet but I wanted to reply to this one.

SHREYA STARTS FROM HERE

Edit: im not sure why quoting on my phone got so weird...

May I suggest we postpone the Book Bingo Challenge to next month? I had made some suggestions to Riya on how to make it better so it isn't a race but actually an opportunity to read something different and even if Riya isn't back I'll be happy to run the challenge for 1 month with those updates.

Not a lot has been lost yet and all of us have understood how things could have been better. I'm tagging only the captains so that you can take it back to your teams and see what they think.

Everything is already ready so waiting another month for a better version of book bingo should be okay in my view.

I'll be happy to step out of the challenge and just run it to ensure it remains fair and with new teams it could be a different experience.

I agree, but then the current bingo card would go to waste. I’d like to propose an alternative: instead of scrapping the whole thing, what if we switch to individual Bingo for this month?

We’re only 4 days into October, and there’s still plenty of time for people to complete the tasks on the bingo card individually if they’d like to. Many of us really enjoyed the tasks, so this could still be a fun individual activity rather than just a team based one. We could remove the time factor to avoid adding any pressure and simply reward participants based on their ability to finish all 25 tasks within the month.

Many participants have already read at least 2 books each, and those who are currently offline are still working through the tasks. It seems like a waste to let all that effort go unused, when we can keep things moving forward individually.

We can return to team bingo format later on with updated rules, as you suggested.

Let me know what you think.

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.

@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

Tagging my team members so that they are aware of what's happening

p.s. did not tag Rado because you are already more than aware
