Spring/Summer 2012: Leader Board and Completed Tasks
This is also where you will post what you have completed so that it can be updated on the leaderboard. You can claim your points every time you complete a task or every few tasks that you complete; however often you choose to.
Claiming your points should look something like this:
Just finished "This Book" for "this task" for x points.
New Total: x points
BEFORE YOU POST READ THIS:
Please check the leaderboard before you make your FIRST post claiming points to make sure nobody has your name. If somebody does have your name, please put your last initial or something to distinguish yourself. You don't have to change your name for GR but rather everytime you post, in addition to your points and all that jazz, put the name that you would like on the leaderboard. Please do this every time you post. I can't tell you how many triples and doubles I had of SO many names. It took me so long to figure out who the heck was who.
Also, please please please wait until you have finished the WHOLE task before you post it. A lot of people were just posting one book for a 2 book task a month before the other one and then not reposting that book when they actually finished the book. It took me so long to go back through the thread to find that they did indeed read 2 books for the challenge but one book was just posted elsewhere.
