Game 9 (book discussion) Results

Fiona Fraser back to report some more game results...for our final game, the book discussion, we had a total of 17 participants (plus the chieftessess, but they were ineligible for point earning). The scoring for this game is a little different from the last one, so I've explained it below.

Each question you answered earned you 2 points. If you chimed in on all 4 discussions, you earned an extra 2 points (I'm lookin' at you, bartlebean, violetdawn, pepperpurl & georgethegirl!). As this was a team challenge, if you participated at all, you earned an additional point for your team (7-Beauchamp, 5-Murray, 4-Fraser, 1-MacKenzie).

In lieu of the early bird and the sneaker awards, bonus points were awarded to the person who garnered the most interest (i.e. the most clicks - 35, to be exact -- mostly in agrees), and the person who made the most contributions to the thread overall. In this case, both of these categories are won by the same lass...Pepperpurl! Congrats on earning an extra 2 points for clan Murray!

Our final points award is the random drawing by my boys, done of the participants who took part in all 4 discussions. Bartlebean is the winner of that one! Congrats on winning 5 points for clan Beauchamp!

Point totals for this game (participation points + 2 points for participating in all 4 discussions + number of participants from your clan + bonus points + 5pts to the drawing winner)

Beauchamp: 36 + 4 + 7 + 0 + 5 = 52
Murray: 26 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 0 = 37
Fraser: 12 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0 = 16
MacKenzie: 4 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 5

Stay tuned for more game results this week!

Part 8 ~ Homework ~ A Hunting We Will Go

For this wee homework assignment, we will ask you to list 5 things that Claire would have in her wee medicine basket (or stillroom) and their uses Find a picture of this item and post it to the HOMEWORK thread on Ravelry. For example, if your find is a heart/lung bypass machine,  please show us a book reference from Part 8 where she would use the Heart/Lung machine or has one, and post the picture. If someone prior to you has used this item, you have to find a different item. The photo reference can be off-ravelry.
This assignment is for the good sisters, not for the chieftesses. Please include your swap name and clan name in the post (not everyone uses a clan badge and it helps us). The homework assignment is due on May 10th at midnight, ET.
Good luck, lasses.

Mordag and Fiona
