I am not sure how I get my log link connected on the front page, but I created one not too long ago.

I am going solo, but plan to participate actively in it :)

If it's not too late, I would really like to join the second Russian team. That's certainly the language I struggle with the most.
I wanted to join the Japanese team too, but obviously it's full and I probably have sufficient motivation already...

Just here to correct a few things, I said I might study Russian but have since decided
that it won't be a priority, so I shouldn't be on the second Russian team. Also if you
could add me to the second Scandinavian team with Swedish that would be most appreciated
:)

If there's is a second Russian team I'd love to be the guardian angel. As I said, I don't
have the energy for team Sputnik/MIR but a smaller team is more manageable:) |

I think team MIR has Mark as its guardian angel, whether we want it or not ;)

Well isn't that the sign of a true guardian angel - someone who is there for you even when you do not realise
that you need him :-)

Update:
Added a bunch of links. If people could check their links for mistakes, and also give me any I missed, that would be very helpful. Some of you have a different log for each language, so make sure I have all of them and have connected them to the right language. Also some of you are on more than one team, so make sure I didn’t forget a link on one of the teams. My list of teams is about 12 pages long (in Word) right now, and looks rather messy since the links show up as code rather than links. So it is quite likely that I missed something or made a mistake. Anyway, my arm hurts from scrolling through the forum looking for logs and making links, so if you could make me some nice pretty links, I would be very happy. Maybe the team leaders could start encouraging their little ducklings to make logs and then the leaders could collect all the links that I don’t already have and send them to me?
TheSeaWolf:
Added to Schnitzel
Added Leurre to Asian as member and Korean Godfather.
Fixed target languages for Serpent and Amerykanka.
Remove GRazzo from Russian and added to Scandinavian.
Added Rhadryn to Russian#2 and since it is the last day of the year and there don’t seem to be many more sign-ups, I squeezed you in on the Japanese team as well.
Moved Bjorn to Individual, Rout to Pax, Woofcreature and Cambyses to Romulan. Waiting for the others on Romance#3/French/Spanish to get back to me.
Now that I know better what to expect, next year I will make two-three teams for the more popular languages/families right from the start so that I can divide people more evenly and hopefully end up with several teams of about 12-15 which should be a comfortable size and give them a bit of room for people who might try to sign up in January.
Even I can learn from experience. Right, Serpent? ;-)

Aw of course you can:)))
What do you think about starting a thread in the senior members forum first?
We could also try to start teams we *want* to see, even if we're not sure how much interest there will be... Teams can be simply merged if needed.
Very happy to be GRagazzo's teammate again!!!

I thought I would start by sending PM's to all team leaders in mid-November to give them a heads-up and to get some suggestions about teams (on the sly sort of, so I have some idea what's going on beforehand). Then I will post in the senior forum to see what everyone thinks about the ideas for teams and if they have any others to suggest, and also to get a core of at least 3-4 experienced members on each team before sign-ups start for real. We would also decide on leaders then and only they will be allowed to start team threads. After that, at the end of November, I would post a sign-up thread here and let the chaos break lose, hopefully in a slightly more controlled form this time.
Edit: I want to see how it goes this year first, but I think it might be a good idea to limit the number of teams each person is allowed to be on. I'm afraid teams might lose members not because the people quit TAC altogether, but because it becomes too much to keep up with so many teams.
