The Nerd Herd discussion

Hey,this is for Mod's only xD

Thank you

No problem.

Oooooh this is cool! I'm very sorry I haven't been active much over the past week, its because I've been getting over my Grandads death :c
sorry, i will be more active now

This is only an idea, and it may not work, but I've seen other groups do it. We could have Team Challenges each month in which people who want to be involved are split into 2 teams and the team with the most points at the end of the month wins. You get points for reading that months series and/or stand alone book. There could also be a genre category in which you get points for reading books in that genre. I know its a bit complicated and we.may not have enough active members who want to do it, but i thought it could be fun ^-^

Rosie,that's a great idea. Thanks!

would you like us to help you create the challenges.

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma's death. R.I.p

That sounds like a lot of fun, how would we get people to join the challenge?

Yes, could you guys help with the Team Challenge thing? I was thinking we could have a sign-up thread so people know and can sign up and then a thread for each team ^-^

And make sure to send a message to all of the members encouraging it.

ohhh yeah, that's a good idea!!

Shall we start it in February and begin the February sign ups now?

That's a good idea

Okayyy, before i make the sign up thread do either of you have anymore ideas for what you could win points for?

I have no idea, and was wondering the same question.

Haha okayy, I'll wait to see if Bella has any ^-^

Wining Points:

Reading the series selected for that month
Reading the stand alone book selected for that month
Reading a book in the genre category selected for that month

How are we going to check to see if they read it?

Christina wrote: "How are we going to check to see if they read it?"

I suppose by seeing if they have marked it as read on their shelves? And trusting them

Ok

Is that alright?

Yeah

HELLO!

HIYA

So,what ideas have you got?

These:

Wining Points:

Reading the series selected for that month
Reading the stand alone book selected for that month
Reading a book in the genre category selected for that month

Yep,that's great!

We'll make the sign up sheet and another thing is,we need to change this awful group profile picture. Penguins,seriously?

Haha

:D Do you have any ideas for a new picture?

Ummm.... Not really... You?
and do you guys want to help me make the sign up sheet here then i can copy and paste it into a new thread?

Sure!

Okayyy :D
do you mind if we do it in an hour as i have to eat my dinner now?

sure,no problem. I'll have to eat too xD

Same

Okayy I'm back ^-^
What do you guys think need to be on the sign up form?

Name, what they have to do with the challenge, stuff like that

Yeah!

What they think they will gain from this challenge?
What their favourite book is?

Yeah, knowing their favorite books would help decide what books to include the challenge!!

Also,are there any events that we can put for the events page?

Rosie wrote: "Yeah, knowing their favorite books would help decide what books to include the challenge!!"

:)

So, if there's a section on what it is about and the rules and how it works first. Then there can be the section they have to fill in:

Name:
Favorite book:
Favorite series:
What will you gain from this challenge:

Yes,that's perfect.

Yay! :D anything else to add, or shall i leave it at that?

Just leave at that,i think. We don't want anything compliated!

What will they have to do, read books that we choose?

I'm thinking for points:

Genre book:
1-100: 1 pt
101-200: 3 pts
201-300: 5 pts
301-400: 7 pts
and so on


Stand alone book: 8 pts


Series:
book 1: 5 pts
book 2: 5 pts
and so on (5 pts per book)
complete a series: extra 5 pts on top of the other pts for the series

Christina wrote: "What will they have to do, read books that we choose?"

yeah, we could either have a poll in which they pick out of 4 or 5 what to read, or we just pick ^-^

How are we going to know what they read? I probably already asked this, but how are we going to keep track?
