Maybe if no one steps up to organize TAC 2013 this week the responsibility should fall on
the previous year's winner(s). Since the 2012 winner(s) won't be chosen until later, I guess that leaves the 2011 winner(s) in charge. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Team *jäŋe / *ledús is pretty much down to me and hřibeček since we post frequently enough (about every 3 weeks or fewer) while mick33 and Kisfröccs seem to post about once a month or so. The others have been much quieter or silent for a while on activities of special interest to the team. As I mentioned earlier, the most positive aspect of the team for me has been that it has made me more interested helping other people (not just on my team) and passing on links. Having team logs as destinations for links is more effective for transmission than posting them in the Links & Resources sub-forum. On the other hand, I do see the drawbacks for cohesiveness in teams that do not have a language in focus, as well as those that lack a fairly invovled leader such as Solfrid Cristin or Serpent. Sprachprofi also comes to mind, although she's often tied up with work or organizing the shorter seasonal challenges. As for myself, I'm happy to wave the Uralic and Balto-Slavonic flags into next year, but hesitate about founding a team for it next year (or even continuing this one). In retrospect the only real activity motivated by being in the team was in the winter when hřibeček and Kafea completed a short primer in Northern Saami of my devising. Apart from that I've studied languages in ways that suit me and as time permits - no different from the time when I studied outside a team. Judging by the membership profiles here, I'd be happy to join a team focused on one of the more popular target languages in my profile (Finnish, Polish and Hungarian seem to be the ones) even though my involvement this year as a member of Team Żubr has been fairly minor. A lot can change in the next few weeks but for now I expect to continue working mainly on Finnish, Polish, and Ukrainian and so would be open to joining someone else's team that focuses on or at least encompasses any of those languages. Turkish is a distinct possibility as a new terget language and any team focused on that language would be of interest. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'll gladly join a Team う in 2013. :D
I've just got one question, what does the "annihilation" part of TAC actually mean? I've never understood that... Edited by stifa on 02 December 2012 at 9:58pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

heeey mick33 did post more than once a month!!!
We could make it even more vague and have a Team North :) Welcoming anyone who's learning a Scandinavian, Slavic or Finno-Ugric language, or especially more than one of these:) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's true but I did cover myself by saying that he posts roughly once a month or so (thus allowing for instances where he'd post twice over 4 or 5 weeks ;-))
A Boreal team could be interesting but from my vantage point it'd look like effectively extending Team *jäŋe / *ledús' coverage to the continuations of Old Norse (Team *jäŋe / *ledús / íss anyone?). Anyway, there's still some time for teams to establish themselves. I will watch with great interest. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Welcome to Team う! I'm not really sure what "annihilation" means here either. I think originally it was meant to be an intense focus on one or more languages, sort of like a year-long 6WC I guess. But my experience is that a lot of people drop out, change languages, or drift in and out, sometimes studying intensely and sometimes not. Anyway, like I said, I don't think I'll ever manage to annihilate a language. So I'll just stick to butchering them :) Is anyone going to start a thread for TAC 2013? I can do it if no one else wants to, my only problem is that I'm not 100 % sure how much I'll be online around Christmas. I think I'll at least be able to go to the library once or twice though and use the internet there if I can't manage to get online otherwise. And knowing myself, I'll probably not spend the whole of Christmas and New Year's with my ex-husband anyway. We tend to drive each other a little crazy after a few days. So I may very well be home again before 01.01.13. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I do think we need fairly large teams like North/South/East/West or something of this kind... (Hogwarts houses lol..just kidding!)
