Hello?

Hello Everyone!! Can't wait to get started with this challenge!!

Hellooooooo! I'm so excited to get this thing started!

I am, too!!

Hi all!
This looks to be interesting.
I will be cruising Jan 7-28, but don't envision any problems. I have a ton of stuff on my kindle and plenty of reading time.

Hey! Also very excited to get this thing started.

Hi everyone. Finally, the threads are open.

I was getting nervous I would miss it.

We will be switching rooms around tomorrow, so I will probably not have Internet tomorrow, but hopeful will be back online latest sometime on Sunday.

Hi everyone. Happy threads are open. Have been checking all the time. This will be a challenge to remember , I guess. :-)

Hey everyone! Excited to get started on the challenge- I've been piling up books to use once we start!

Hi team! So nice to see the chatter. I'm excited to see how this goes. I love a good challenge and NBRC always have a fun challenge for us.

will we have a separate group for this?

I am here. Been trying to avoid the fact that the new year starts in just a short tick....

Yes, it is being prepared. We will get invites out once we are ready to go live with it.

And it will even start a little bit sooner for Claire and me than for the rest...

I have not found it, but does someone know at what time the challenge starts? I usually do some reading in bed before falling asleep, and that would be after midnight in Europe, but before midnight in the US, and as far as I understood we cannot start books before the challenge starts.

I'll check into a countdown calendar or confirmation on time zone for start.

Yes many will be into the new year before me as I'm on the West Coast of the US. So near the end of those flipping the calendar page.

Hi teammates! I am looking forward to getting started!

midnight Central time (CST) on the 1st.

Here is a link to a time converter.

FYI----I'm thinking it is PST midnight. But trying to get full clarification.

Thanks for the info Kelly and Plethora thanks for posting the converter. It's very helpful :)

Looks like everyone but Alanna and Amy have checked-in.

Oh goodness, I thought I had signed up too late and not gotten onto a team! Many thanks to RebeccaS for sending me a very timely friend request.

I'm excited to start. I'm superstitious about the first book of the year and I already have mine chosen. Hopefully it'll fit something.

Welcome Alanna :)

I'm here!! I just got back from vacation, so I'm super ready to get started with reading tons in the new year and this challenge!

So this challenge will be a little different and it requires you to create an account on a special website that the mods created for tracking books, tasks and sabotages.

=================

Hi Guys!

Everyone, it's time to join the companion website!

https://cutthroatbookclub.azurewebsit...

Click the login in the upper right corner. Make an account.

Once you have an account you can click the 3 dots button in the upper left corner and click profile. Add your goodreads ID and name.

Once you do that the mods can assign you to your team.

This website is where books get logged, where you can see sabotages (and bid if your authorized), you can also view all the other teams. (Wooden Sword is the mod test team, don't worry about that one.)

There are still some new things getting added so don't be surprised if things show up. Please let us know if you have technical issues and we'll get them worked out. We believe login isn't working correctly from iPads right now so if you're having trouble try a computer.

Done! :)

I am logged in, but don’t get anything profile like clicking on the three dots:-(

Maybe it is because I do everything by the IPad? However, if that is the problem, I can’t change it :-(

Joined! :)

I set up my account but when I click on my name, it can't find my profile page. I can't find how to get back into my profile to try to fix the link. Help?

Joined!

Ok I’m not going to try and do anything on my phone. So I’ll be home in about an hour and will hop on my tablet and see what’s going on.

I just did it on my computer. I wonder if it's not really compatible on the phone/tablets? I'm not really tech savy tho so I have no idea haha

joined

I found out the problem. The site apparently doesn't like Safari. I went on a friend's computer and used Chrome and it worked fine. But on my desktop, iPad, and phone (using safari) it wouldn't work.

Oh, and i finally joined.

You can't change your goodreads ID after you set it but if you PM me your information with what you set and what you want it to be I can update it.

It's something bad google did with apple products. I'm working on fixing it.

I sent mine up on my tablet but I went through Google and it worked.

You should have all received a link to join the private group from me.

the few of you that are already friends with me it is possible under your profile pictures, groups should show a red number letting you know you have a pending invite.

Those that haven't friended me I sent a PM to with the link.

If I missed you or you aren't seeing it, let Carmen or myself know so we can get you a new link.

I’m good! Already found my way to the group
