Hi everyone. I'm failing at this so far omg. I'm sorrryyyyy!!!

Ashley, while expressing her confusion, brought some discrepancies to my attention. Idk what happened with Team En Fuego's points but there are changes to those and to some of Fab Five points. 

Current team standings are as follows:

En Fuego: 936
Fab Five: 1113
McDreamy: 378

I got it all set up with sums and fancy excel things (not so fancy, shh). Please look at it and let me know if I've messed something else up :D Spreadsheet here!

Hi there! Have some results!

CHALLENGE 08!





Activity: Bingo!
Deadline: TBA. But the weekend of June 2-3
Points: 10 points per card. More for placing!
Summary: Bingo! Just like it sounds :)

Aly and I thought, since we are kicking things back into gear, that we should do something social (and points earning, of course!). So it's time for bingo! We will have two games the weekend of June 2-3. I'll probably host one and Aly the other. But we will decide on a time a little bit later.

For now, standard rules apply. To play, pick 12 names from the list of names below and submit your 12 names to your team thread in this post. During the game, the first 5 people to have all 12 names on their card called win lots of points for their team!

BONUS ROUNDS: In addition to regular bingo, there is also going to be a chance to win even more points. When you select your 12 names, you're going to pick 3 of your names to be entered in the extra special challenge. Three times during the game, I will declare a round a 'bonus round.' If any of your three names are called during the bonus round, you win bonus points.

The points you can win are as follows:
First Bingo: 75 points
Second Bingo: 60 points
Third Bingo: 50 points
Fourth Bingo: 40 points
Fifth Bingo: 30 points

If you get a bingo and you're not here to call it, you will receive an additional 15 points to the points you get for entering your card.

Having a name called during the bonus rounds: 10 extra points

You may have one person watch your card and as a result call your bingo should you have one. Each person can only watch up to 2 cards (their own and someone else's) per each bingo game.

Now, the list of names. Basically I copied the list from last phase and tried to add in new people (like Baby Henry and Intern Morgan), but below there is a thread for additional names, so if someone is missing, just comment there and we can add them in. I'm sure I missed someone!

Any questions? As always, please ask!

( Names under here )

Textbox for submissions
<b>12 names</b> <b> 3 names for the bonus rounds (please choose from the 12 you selected above)</b>

You will get bonus points for using your sigtag or team icon!

Hi everyone,

So I owe you guys a huge, huge apology. I could sit here and tell you exactly what has gone on the past month, but I won't, because that wouldn't change things for you guys. What I will tell you is that I have come to a realization — I hate failing and not being able to do everything I think I should be able to do, but sometimes you have to admit that you need help, and this past month has definitely shown me that I need help.

So with that said, alygator has agreed to give up her Team En Fuego modly duties and become my co-mod. We've already started planning and plotting, and I'm really excited to be working with her. Aly is good at kicking my ass, and I know she won't let you guys down — and she won't let me let you guys down either.

I really hope most of you will want to stick around and give us another chance — not for me, since I don't deserve it, but for Aly.

What we're going to do is basically start the phase over in terms of challenges and a time frame. All points earned so far WILL count (and I will get results up for the two challenges that don't have them up ASAP), because that wouldn't be fair to not count them, but the actual Phase 4 will be considered to go from now to about three months from now (Aly & I still need to decide upon an exact date).

Give us a day or two to finish plotting out some stuff, but we will have challenges up by Friday at the latest.

In the meantime, comments to this post are screened, but we would really appreciate if you could all just take a moment to let us know if you would like to stay or like to leave. We hope you stay, but we totally understand if/why you wouldn't want to. You don't have to give a reason. We basically just want to know numbers wise, so we can see if we need to shift anything around to make teams more equal in numbers.

We won't cut you if you don't reply or anything, but we will probably do a cut in about a month of people who haven't participated, because we want to keep team activity levels pretty even.

If you have any other comments, concerns, or whatnot you want to say as well, feel free. Comments are screened, so only Aly & I will see them.

Again, I am really sorry you guys. I know I have let you down, but I think having Aly as co-mod is going to be a really good thing for everyone.

Activity: Texts From Last Night (the Fics)!

Also, I will get some new activities & results for the Capping a Season up tonight. I'm going to try to post a mix of easier and harder activities each week, so those of you who are super busy (I know that's a lot of you) can maybe enter some of those. If you have any ideas for challenges you would like to see, let me know. I am always open to suggestions :)
