FINAL Batch of B2MeM BINGO Cards!

[dawn_felagund]

Yes, this is the final batch of BINGO cards for this year's B2MeM. What you now see is what there is! You can claim cards on the SWG or claim cards on MPTT. (Click here for text-only versions of the cards that are compatible with screen readers.) You can also leave a comment here with the cards you'd like to claim.

You can claim cards at any time before or during B2MeM. If you want your player page to be updated before the first day of March, please try to claim your final cards as soon as possible, preferably by the end of the weekend.

This batch of cards comes courtesy of Rhapsody, Elleth, havamahal, Eärillë, Independence1776, Linda Hoyland, Beruthiel, CrackinAndProudOfIt, Febobe, Allie Meril, Dwim, Naurring, Oshun, and IgnobleBard. *whew* In addition, I'd like to give my most sincere thanks to grey_gazania, Elleth, Rhapsody, and Russandol, who have done the graphics work on almost all of the card requests in this last batch, freeing me to do other stuff, like player pages, schoolwork, card numbering, lesson planning, website coding, and breathing air. (And they're much better graphics designers than me too--this round of cards is beautiful!)

If, by chance, you sent a card or requested one and you do not see it on the list, please let me know. We did not reject your card; it was not deemed unsuitable; all cards were accepted. A technical or administrative error is most likely to blame for any missing cards, and I absolutely want to correct that, if possible. Many of these cards required hours of work to brainstorm, research, and design, and I want no one's efforts to have been in vain.

For the statistically inclined among us, we ended up with a mind-blowing 104 cards.

ETA: I uploaded the new cards to the site a few hours ago, went out to dinner and a movie with my husband, and came home to find some of you had found them before I even announced them! That makes me think enough of you are checking the card claim page pretty regularly. Which worries me just a little. In a completely cool way, of course. ;)

But pssst? If you're like, "Yeah so, doesn't everyone do that??" b2memsupport is there for you. Really. ;)

*laughs nervously* I'm really not going to be sleeping in March, am I? I've ended up with twenty-four cards. And I'm not even playing to win; I just want prompts.

I am claiming the Crackfic card for two main reasons: Jedi Powers and Lightsabers, and Time Travel. The other two loves of my fandom life (Star Wars and Doctor Who) meet the Silm? Oh, yes!

A serious question: for those of us with insane numbers of cards, would a text-only list be easier or harder for you to maintain?

And Young Wizards is set in the modern day, isn't it? ;)

I've the same question about the text-only list...I think...

I don't have internet in my Lair (usually when I'm skulking around on LJ etc. I'm parked at a cafe growing moss), so I'll be checking prompts on my little phone each morning. I'm thinking I'll need to print out my cards for my own reference, but if it was relatively simple to maintain the text-only versions I think I'd benefit from one of those for the sake of the phone. If it's extremely time-consuming, Dawn and the volunteers need to forget I mentioned it, because then I'll find some way to make due..

[dawn_felagund]

It's not at all! I've added you to my text-only list and will create one for you. :)

[huinare.livejournal.com]

Thanks much! I think that will be a huge help. =)

[dawn_felagund]

I haven't heard anyone say, "Oh I hope I win!" or even mention winning ... which I think is a good thing. :) We sometimes use a game format because it can be a real motivator for some people, but the goal is, of course, to create more fannish awesomeness! :)

A serious question: for those of us with insane numbers of cards, would a text-only list be easier or harder for you to maintain?

I don't think it will matter much. We have several volunteers for stamping, so I'm hoping that will reduce the workload on doing the image-based cards. The text-only cards are incredibly easy to update: just an X in front of completed prompts. So if you like the text-based, I'll gladly set one up for you! :)

[independence1776]

The fact that no one has said that actually brought a smile to my face! Being a part of other fandoms reminds me on occasion how enthusiastic and cooperative this one is, and I like this one all the better for it.

I would love a text-based page. My computer takes forever to load just the "claim-a-card" page, and even longer to load my player page. And that doesn't have the ones I just claimed…

[dawn_felagund]

I've added you to my list for a text-only page. I'm also going to be dividing up the BINGO parlor into separate pages by player name to reduce page-load time. It's running really slowly on my computer too. I hope that will help a bit. :)

[independence1776]

Thank you! Hopefully, the division will help, too. :)

Just that you know... the jedi power prompt had me going like... oooo that is way way too cool. But I resisted (Eru knows for how long though)!
