Why not just be realistic? This kinda reminds me on how in sports a team can only be declared the champion if the standings don't change even if they lose all the remaining matches. This makes sense for sport, but why have so many rules based on a faint hope that everyone writes more than two pages in their logs? Many never write even ONE. That's not hard to keep up with.
I have to admit I'm already looking forward to seeing the teams the way they really are in March :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm with Serpent. So many people drop out, especially so many newbies, that limiting a team to 15 seems really low to me. I don't think combining teams later in the year is the solution to that. (There's nothing wrong with combining teams if needed, of course.) Some teams, like the Russian team, that have a good track record might want to limit, but I'm not sure that's the best approach for all the teams. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I have started my 2013 log here for the Romance 2, Croatian, and Slavic-Romance teams. (I will probably change the title once my teams decide on names!) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

For what it's worth, I think the limit is sensible. If half the people drop out, I think 7 is a good number of participants for one team. Not too much, not too little.
I'd like to sign up with Korean and Finnish. Please put me on the respective teams. I'll be keeping my current log. Thank you. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Hey,
there are really lots of messages in this thread so I'll just ask you if there is any other Scandinavian team since I'd like to join :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Brun Ugle.
I would like to join the challenge. I'm learning French in 2013 and dabbling with Italian. I can join the romantics team 2 if that's possible. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I think it would be more realistic to call it a waiting list rather than a second team. If that doesn't sound offensive of course. Edited by Serpent on 17 December 2012 at 12:09am 1 person has voted this message useful |
