A Place to Report Your Barn Expansion and/or Skipping Dates - And Instructions (in #3) for keeping your posts current.
One post per person is all that is needed. Please check other posts for examples.
1. Each Team member needs only one post that lists all expansion dates and all skip dates.
2. When you have taken your first turn, please make a post recording the date of your expansion or skip.
3. When you have completed another turn (expansion or skip), please copy and paste your previous post into a new one at the end of the thread, add the new expansion or skip date, save it, and then delete your previous reporting post. The older post can be deleted by pulling down the wheelie with the arrow to the far right at the top of your original post.
*****IMPORTANT PART OF #3: PLEASE READ***** The last post in this thread should belong to the last person who either skipped or expanded their barn. The previous posts should be listed in the order in which the barns were either expanded or skipped.
Ideally I should be able to read down the list of posts and see who did what and when so I can keep a summary in this post. Since talk about expansions and skips takes place in chat and since I miss a lot there, it would be most helpful if each TB member will keep his/her own post current rather than my having to search through them (if they're even in the thread) to keep the list in order. If TB members do not want to do this, I will be happy to turn the summary over to someone else to handle.
At any given time, some reporting posts are out of place, some are not updated, and some have never been posted. It's a difficult job for me to keep up with the list without cooperation from all TB participants.
Thank you for reading and for complying to the suggestions for keeping an orderly list. Ann
***********************************************************************
4. In your reporting post, please thank the players who have helped you by name. (If a person does not contribute between turns, then that person will have to skip until he/she does contribute. It is totally unfair to the rest of the members of TB for any member to contribute just a few BEM during a round and then expect a lot in return.)
The original concept of Team Bolt was to give away as much of our BEM as possible on a regular basis in order to keep our barns empty of BEM so that we could have more space for products until it is our turn, at which time we will be able to collect enough BEM to expand our barns. This has worked very successfully for several years.
PLEASE NOTE: Since we are a diverse and international community, please write the month in letters rather than numbers to save confusion between DD/MM and MM/DD date formatting. Example: please write Jan 10 rather than 1/10 which can be read as 10/1 by some of our members.
***************************************************************************************
Suggestions for Team Bolt members:
- You have 24 hours after the most recent expansion to start your barn. If you fail to start within that 24 hours, then you will be auto-skipped. (Please check the list to see the status and do not rely on someone else to tell you when it's your turn. The list is always here and is as current as it can be based on individual reports.)
- To give some leeway, two names can be called at the same time in order to keep the list moving; the first one to show up starts immediately. (There will be only one person actually expanding at a time.) If two of the people below you have expanded and you haven't shown up to take your turn, you will be auto-skipped; otherwise there is a lot of delaying of turns which interrupts the flow of the list and causes much confusion.
- Based on popular demand, there will be no expansions on weekends.
- If you never seem to be online to give your BEM to expanders, then try to pass them on to someone else from Team Bolt to be given to the expanders.
