This topic is for Team BOOKWORMS to discuss strategy.

We are:
tennisfan
raindrops
buriedinthewoods
siluasap
LittleKitty


We still need a team captain. I could do it, but as I've mentioned in the official topic I'll be internet impaired beginning Friday.

We can post here when we think we can't post for a certain amount of time, or when we are sure to be there.

Oh, if you want to strategize a little more, pick the order in which you want to post (at least before Guy1731 posts the Race thread)

hey guys, I guess I'll post a first one:
this afternoon from 2 'till about 6 (GMT+1, so count an hour extra to get the site time) this evening I'll be outside gardening, so no mails from me then (though I think we won't start the race by then already).
Otherwise, saturday evenings I'm mostly gone too, but during weekdays I'm present. Have a computer with internet at work, so in between patients not so hard to post something quickly :-D

I don't have any special requirements for my posting order and I will agree with other Bookworms in their choice of a new captain if only you are sure you can't do it.

I will be able to visit here several times a day. I believe we will have fun racing together as one team... no matter who will win :)

Is that from Friday for some days, or just on Friday? I'd like to start your race at a most convenient way for everyone.

Something else. Having a topic for your team is fine, but don't forget the enemy is also reading your comments and tactics. Meaning, this could be the right moment to communicate in some kind of secret language. A method to encrypt/decrypt with a key of your own. You write some tactical hints, you encrypt it, you post here, only your teammates can decrypt and read it. Maybe there are context-driven (right mouse button) en & de- crypters that make this an easy task. Would be interesting to find out. (And a challenge for your opponents to decrypt your personal team messages... ;) )

Friday I'm mostly out, but from then on I probably won't really be able to post as frequently. At night is fine though. If we could move it as soon as possible it would be better. I think a lot of people want to race.

Encrypting messages would be cool, but I seriously doubt anything we'll post here could be used against us. Plus I wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to do that.

Let's agree that I'm the captain unless the race gets postponed for too long.

We are ready

Sorry for being late. My time is GMT+2, not so different from raindrops and buriedinthewoods days and nights :) . I may be gone tomorrow afternoon for a few hours (10 am - 3 pm GMT) but the rest of the time I will be available and will check in here more often so not to stop the race.

It's ok, I just hope LittleKitty knows the race has started, she probably has a different time than the rest of us.

I'll send her a mail to... then she hopefully sees it when she comes online, so we can continue :)

We were lucky :D Don't know if I'll come online again this evening, though... I'll try to look once before I go to sleep
