Group Challenge 2

    Since there was a good interest in the last one, I will do another one for you all.

    For those who did not understand the last one, each group will be given the same list of prompts, say 10. And you have 24 hours to turn in as many poems as you can within your group, posting poems in order of the prompts.

    Example:

    1. haiku
    2. colour blue
    3. number 3

    the poems would have to be submitted in this order of

    MEMBER 1: a haiku poem
    MEMBER 2: a poem that had the colour blue in it
    MEMBER 3: a poem using the number 3 somewhere.

    hope that clears that up :) Any questions, just ask.

    I will post it tomorrow morning until Tuesday morning (if enough sign up today) if not, it will be posted Tuesday morning, until Wednesday morning.

    Sign up below if you are interested, and I will set you into teams.

    SIGN UP:

    Michael
    Larry
    Karla
    Potp
    Jenni
    Everlasting

    I am going to wait until more people sign up, and begin this on Wednesday morning through until Thursday night. So it will be 36 hours, and should be a bit more helpful for different time zones, work schedules etc.

    I will post the teams on Tuesday night, and then make the threads Wednesday morning at 10am. Uk time... someone needs to help me out with what time that is on here lol.

    That would be 3 AM P&Q time Wed

    [P&Q is hosted in NYC, 7 hours behind UK]

  • Baby Rainbow

    Larry!!! Thank you!! It has only been several years and I could never figure that out! :)

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    3 people? Really? :/

  • Poet on the Piano

    Oops, sorry just getting to this. Yep, I'm in again for sure!

    Ah saffie,

    I wish I could participate like last time but I'll be pretty busy this week. I hope more people can participate.

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    If I make it 48 hours, will this make it easier for people? Which mean they can still help their group even if they just post once or twice over Wednesday and Thursday?

  • Hellon

    I'd like to participate Saffie but all the members who sign up for your challenges are in a totally different time zone from me :(

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    I know the time difference is a pain sometimes... But you could try it, and see? Over 48 hours?
    If it really doesn't work then we can try and figure a way around it?

    If anyone does have any suggestions please say, if there is something that would make you join, or make it easier for you to try it? xx

  • Poet on the Piano

    48 hours makes sense since there are different time zones... hopefully then everyone can have more chances to log in and add their poem.

  • Larry Chamberlin
    10 years ago

    Make it 72 hours

  • Jenni Marie
    10 years ago

    If I didn't miss it then I'm in too!

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Ok. I am going to post the teams tonight for this, and I will close it on Saturday NIGHT, which gives each team, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

    So if you haven't signed up already, please do so now, as teams will be posted later on tonight, and tomorrow morning I will start your threads!

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Hellon, shall I add your name now?

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Need one more person please to make it even???

  • Everlasting
    10 years ago

    One nore, alright count me in. I'll be online after 7,pm central time ...

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Ok.... so the two teams are:

    TEAM ONE:
    Michael
    Karla
    Jenni

    TEAM TWO:
    Larry
    Potp
    Everlasting

    I will make both of your threads up and you may begin posting after 1pm(uk time) any poems submitted before this will not be counted.

    Poems must run in order of the prompts.
    1
    2
    3
    4
    ... you cannot pick what number you want to write next.

    I will run this for 72 hours this time, which means it will close on Sunday at 1pm (uk time) and any poems after this will not be counted either.

    Remember, the same person cannot post twice in a row.

    Have fun!

    Hey, it's a mini marathon! Good on you Baby Rainbow, I wish you all the best. I still haven't quite recovered from the last one...

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Team one seem to be lost somewhere? :(
    Come on you can still catch up. xx

  • Everlasting
    10 years ago

    Possible suggestions:

    Move me to the other team ( as I cannot ask Mr. Larry nor Mary Anne to be moved since they have contributed so much to team two and we three seem to be online more often than any other).

    Or allow each team to, let's see how to explain it.

    Let's supposed, Michael posts then Karla posts, and Karla finds out that Michael logged out. Allow that she may post another poem after posting... however that poem won't be counted the next poem that she posts will be.

    Michael posts --- Counted
    Karla post --- Counted
    Karla post --- Not counted
    Karla post --- Counted
    Karla post -- Not counted
    Karla post -- Counted
    Michael posts -- counted
    Karla post -- counted
    Michael posts- counted...
    Karla post - counted
    Karla post -- not counted

    Something like that. What do the others participant think? Of course, the order in which the poems are submitted will have to remain in order.

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    I have swapped you over to the other team, so go get posting for them and see if you can catch up before tomorrow. 26 hours left.

  • Larry Chamberlin

    That's weirder than skiditscht

    But, what the heck, can't dance

  • Everlasting
    10 years ago

    Hmm... It is, though I usually see Michael online at the time That mr. Larry or Mary Anne or me are log in, so based on the entries from team one, I figure that his team members haven't been online. Perhaps, if we both are online at the same time, at least we could have a few more entries?

    truth, the contest seems unfair for both parties. :/
    There's not much thrill. It's not fair for the team trying. And also not fair to have to wait till a team member posts when the time zones are different.

  • Larry Chamberlin

    I'm not complaining - just a novel switch.

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    That is why things like this need more members to sign up... but there just seems to be no interest on this site anymore for things like this.

    Oh well, it was worth a try.
