Player Page Updated! | FAQ: "Can I 'Unclaim' Cards?"

Player Page Updated!
At long last, the player pages have been updated! Now we can all see how deep we're in it come March you can see the cards you've signed up to play all in one place. All card requests sent by this point should be reflected on your player page. (You can check your player page on the SWG or check your player page on MPTT.) Please look to make sure that you have all of the cards you've requested. My comods and I have received hundreds of B2MeM-related emails at this point, and mixups are bound to occur. If something doesn't look right, either leave me a comment here or drop me an email at DawnFelagund@gmail.com and I will fix it as soon as possible.

If you want to display your cards someplace (like your journal or personal website), you are welcome to "hotlink" to your player page on our server. If you need help doing this, just ask. As you earn stamps, we will update your player page so that you can see your progress (and everyone else's!).

FAQ: "Can I 'Unclaim' Cards?"
I've been asked by a couple of people now about "unclaiming" cards. Some of us went a little claim-crazy at the start of the challenge without realizing how many more awesome cards our card-creators would dream up. So ... can you "unclaim" a card?

Yes, with caveats. First of all, remember, you don't have to play a card, even if you claim it. You might claim 20 cards that look interesting but only have time or end up wanting to write for 2 or 3 of them. This is perfectly okay! :)

If you're absolutely certain that you don't want to play a card, I can remove it for you. However, I have to be perfectly honest that, with the popularity of this event and the constant backlog of BINGO cards and player page updates, this is a low-priority task for me, and the challenge may well begin with the cards you don't want still on your player page. If you want a card removed from your player page, just drop me an email at DawnFelagund@gmail.com, and I'll do my best to get this done for you.

Any other questions weighing on your mind? Please ask them here or drop me or one of the other B2MeM mods a PM or email! :)

Finally, for the numerically inclined ...

There are currently 52 53* cards available (I have several more that will be posted within the next few days) that were created by 23 different card creators. That comes to a grand total of 1,248 different prompts/challenges!

There are currently 44 participants who have signed up to play. They have claimed a total of 309 cards (an average of 7 cards per participant).

* I accidentally overwrote the Dwarves of the First Age card when I uploaded an old version of the page. Sorry, havamahal!

Have you refreshed your cache with shift F5? Because I do see four cards for you: review a story, economy, sons of Fëanor and Artifacts & weapons.

I tried doing the shift F5 and I tried it in Internet Explorer, Firefox and AOL. None of the work for me. I only get one card the sons of Feanor. Maybe later today, I can try on the other computer; I have Chrome there, maybe that would work? But it does not work very well for me and I often cannot access that computer.

I guess I can make my own copies of the cards and save them on my hard drive?

Hmm I suspect that somewhere your connection gets too slow and it just stops loading. I know it hesitated a wee bit here on my broadband connection when I loaded mine in the player page this morning. This is the direct url to your bingo cards, just click here (http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/b2mem2012/images/players/oshun.png). What happens when you click on that?

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

That just popped up instantaneously with all of the cards. Interesting. I guess it is a loading problem.

Thanks for all your trouble! Sorry to be difficult. It is apparently by lousy cable connection.

It really is not a problem! I do think Dawn wants to know as well what might be going on (perhaps there is a bit of coding both IE and your aol browser keeps on throwing a fit about!) and it is always a possibility that you're not the only one. Thank you for speaking up and reporting it!

Just bookmark this url for yourself and as the Bingo event rolls along, we continue to update your cards at that link. That is when you leave a comment to tell us you want a stamp ;)

You are awesome; I saved it where I can find it already.
