Here is a video I made promoting Silvertree. If anyone has any criticism, let me know.

Christmas Challenge
I will be gone to NV for the next two weeks, so I may not be able to gather points for a while. I may have internet access there, but I doubt it. I leave tomorrow at noon (3:00 for East Coasters) and here is my challenge. Over the course of the next two weeks, try to accumulate a total of as much points as I currently have. If we can accomplish this, we could be WAY past Nightwing by mid-January! Maybe even by New Years! (TDNM) I will be doing as much as I can offline (writing reviews, etc.) while in NV. Happy Christmas everyone! God bless!
EDIT: I arrived safely in NV and have internet access! Hope to see some rise to the challenge!

Just Shy of 200,000
Hey guys!
So I ended up being more busy than I thought I would be and so I didn't get the point posted last night, or emailed to you Winter. So sorry. Our total stands around 180K and so we are still shy of Nightwing's 200K+. ::sigh:: No worries :) This week I'll be doing lots more hopefully, and hopefully some of you will as well, and so we should break 250K if not 300,000. 300K would be awesome and so it is my goal for the week!
That means all of you need to try and do something this week :) lol Not a lot, but something.
Endurance and Victory all. it's time for school lol

Tribe Report Today - Points Go Live!
Hey guys! Today is the final day to get me your points for the report. WTB has told Seth and others that he plans to post tribe totals LIVE after this week! Do you know what that means? LAST MINUTE POINTS GALORE!!!
Before I send this in I want us to have at LEAST 200,000 Vanadils. At least! Because Nightwing has that many, but they're slowing down. I need 200K before the end of today.
That being said, I will total up the points earlier tonight if I can and let you all know where we are. I have something going on this evening but I will try to post early. At the very latest the tribe total will be on here at 9-9:30EST. I have yet to write all my reviews and such this week, or to do ANY Multimedia (so you guys are beating me in the monthly goal) so my points may be down. We'll see. I typically get my 20K last minute ::laughs::
So that's that. I've seen a great effort from Winter's Read Loyalbow and Jamie. And Celeb's done a great job too :) The rest of you need to step it up! You'll get behind ;) lol
Come on Millard :P lol
Throw Down Nightwing December continues!

Update on Time-Sensitive Challenge
The number of books left is now twelve, let's recommend them to as many school libraries as possible!
Contest Extension - Theme Months MULTIMEDIA
Well seems you've all likely heard about the extension of the contest from New Year's to March 1st. Doesnt' seem that any of the tribes are too happy about this extension, but we all will have to live with it.
Because this month is not going to be the last, and as we have gotten a few new members (waves to Celeb and Jamie) I have decided on an idea.
Theme Months.
That's right....every month you will be challenge ::coughs:: ordered ::coughs:: do complete a trillion things in one category.
And December is the month for multimedia.
This means posters, videos, photos, etc. And it truly all isn't that difficult.
1. Posters
Get on the computer into whatever program you need (Publisher, iPhoto, Paint, Word, etc) and make a brochure. Also you could do a full blown poster. Decorate this poster to the theme of either TDW, TWLC, COTSK, or Isle Duo. The poster must have the book(s) cover on it somewhere.
From there all you have to do is hang it up somewhere. You only get 500 Points per location but these can be hung up at libraires, schools, book stores, churches, etc. So there's the possibility for many points to be gained.
2. Video
This one requires a bit more technology but I think most of you have it. All you need is a video camera and a computer. You all have a computer so it's just the camera we need worry about. There's all kinds of programs for making videos too, Moviemaker (on all PCs), iPhoto/Video (on all Macs). Any will work. If you need help working the program let me know. If you do not have acces to these programs you have a few options. 1: email me the photos/videos you'd like in the video and I will finish it for you. You will retain full credit for the video. 2: Ask me for directions. Here are some things on videos;
These are worth less points, but are fairly easy to get. All you have to do is go into a store and take a picture of the books on the shelf with you and an employee in the pic. Very simple. 200 Points per location. Now, again if you don't want to be in the pic...insert something to represent yourself...something like your username or the like. Storyteller used her yellow ball in her pics, and that works just fine.
And that's the theme. Multimedia. If you think of anything else that falls into this category, DO IT. And as always reviews and such are appreciated. We will have a full blown review attack though...trust me lol

- They don't need to include your face; I know some of you are worried about putting your face and such out there. And I tottally get that. But here's an idea--make a video that's almost like a slideshow presentation.
- They do not need to promote the books; If you've never read TDW, TWLC, or COTSK. That is perfectly alright! You can get points for promoting Silvertree. So long as you mention COTSK in the video.
- You do not need a Youtube account; If you do not have, or do not want to make, a Youtube account I will gladly post the videos for you on mine.
These are worth less points, but are fairly easy to get. All you have to do is go into a store and take a picture of the books on the shelf with you and an employee in the pic.

Time-Sensitive Challenge
I'm sure everyone already knows of the school librarian challenge, if you don't, go to this post: http://enterthedoorwithin.blogspot.com/2009/09/biggest-contest-in-history-of-men-and.html It looks familiar but scroll to the bottom. I am also sure that most (if not all) of you go to a school with a library. This is an opportunity! Give the librarian WTB's email and explain it is for a free book! It is worth 5000 points per book (open-ended), and there are only 18 (if not less) books left, so let's get crackin'!

Throw Down Nightwing Month
Hey guys! This is the first week of december, possibly the last month of tribe building. No one knows for sure of the contests' ending...but in the rules it says clearly that the challenge will end on Midnight of Near Year's Day. Whether or not this is true has been debated through anylazing other sayings of Mi'lord Batson but for the time being we will assume that this is it.
And as the time is drawing near to the end we NEED more points. What does this mean?
Videos (2,ooo each!), reviews (500 each! And you can post the same one 10 places!), pictures, Christmas Presents (500 for every purchase...and if you give COTSK to a librarian, and maybe even teachers, you get thousands!). This means posters and blog posts and anything else you can think of! Heck, even book reports work.
I challenge all of you to do EVERYTHING possible that you can. Every last item on the list. Even if you don't think you can do a great job. Do it! We need points, we need to promote!
This month is officially "Throw Down Nightwing Decemeber". I do believe that they are winning with us as a close second. But they have bloggers, and so they automatically have chances for more points. All of you have blogger accounts now. USE THEM! One can acumlate nearly 10,000 points ONLY from blogs! As most all of Nightwing is bloggers they could have 300,000 points for all we know! (They don't, as Dwarf has told me, but they could soon).
If you do not have a blog I encourage you to start one. If you don't want to keep it up a TON perhaps start a blog, like Winter did, that would be updated everytime you read a good book. A blog only to post reviews on. But on this blog you could posts links to The Underground, WTB/CH's blogs in the sidebar, Amazon purchasing links (ask me for 'em.....8,000 Points total from them), cover art, and more! 10,000 Points.....very easy. Takes no time at all. And so I need you all to do something like this. If you have the time USE IT.
We are not of the night, we are of the day and of the light. Silvertree will uproot Nightwing.
Let's do this!

Great Job!
Congratulations everybody! We just broke the 100,000 point mark! You guys rock :D
I'm not exactly sure where all the other tribes are but I do believe if we are not in first we are ranked second only to YodelingDwarf's Nightwing. And in that not much.
So let's keep this up!

So here's the deal....
What's up SilverTree people?
Here is something I want you all to do before Saturday, can you do that for me?
Write TWO (or more) reviews for one of WTB or CH's books. ONLY TWO! These reviews don't have to be expertly written, professionally grammatical, or anything like that. Simply tell what you liked about the books. YOu do that on the forum all the time. Now just post it somwhere else.
If you cannot do a review on Amazon consider posting on Borders.com Books.com GoodReads.com or any other site that sells books. All I need from you is the links to these reviews. Two reviews...that's it people.
SilverTree is falling behind me thinks, I'm getting nervous to be honest. I kinda want to win this thing ::laughs::
So, two reviews by sat.
And if you don't feel comfortable making accounts and such, write a review and email it to me. I'll post the review for you.

So I've been slow, you've been slow, time has slowed...even Millard of the Shinning Light has been slow! (Shocking...I know!)

I wanna see numbers in the tens of thousands. :D

Tribe Report Three Updated (Number Four on the Way)
Alright guys...it's time we (I) got organized.
This is your friendly reminder that the fourth tribe report is in three days. Any points from last week that you didn't get to me, or any new stuff, PLEASE email (petriekidn@yahoo.com) them to me or post on this page.
Some of you, such as DOL and others, told me what you did but didn't get me links. I didn't send your points in so please resend me the info.
I updated the top point scorers as of the last tribe report. If there's any more of you that did the Amazon blitz that didn't get credit just let me know.
Our tribe really isn't doing all that bad, with over 40,000 points total so far. I know at least that I'm starting to step things up, and so I believe that many of you will be able to turn on the jets as well.
Did any of you go to the MD events? If you did, did you get any glory points? Let me know.
If you are able please try to attend the two COTSK events in NY. We get mega points for attending.
I planned on going but it doesn't look like I will be able to. My family is on vacation that week :(
So that means some of you need to :P lol
Have a great week guys!
Cling to the tree that is silver!

Tribe Report Number Two...Done
It seems I needed to send the report today....so I did.
I was not able to get a hold of most of you, due partly to my failure of remembrance. Plus, I wasn't at my computer at ALL today.
If there are any points you have not told me about PLEASE post them on this blog so I may have them for next time.
Our report this week only gave us 5-6,000 more points, which brings us to a total of about 30,000. I will be updating individual points tomorrow as well as officially beginning my own point collecting (ie. making videos, writing reviews, etc)
Guys...just write reviews if you can't do anything else. We get a good amount of points for them so...yeah.
Also, if you have a blog please post links to WTB and CH's sites in them. These are easy points.
So yeah, thanks for joining this tribe. We've been unorganized to start but have no fear. Responsibility has arrived! lol
The games have now begun for real.

The Silvertree
Okay, so I was looking around the internet trying to find something that would would for our tribe, what do you guys think of this?
Monday, September 28, 2009
Tribe Report One....Last Chance!
So I just ran through all my emails...all my facebook messages...and the groups...all the forums.
I've tallied up the total number of points earned by our tribe so far. I have to say...it's impressive. Woohoo!
I'm waiting on a few people to get information back to me and then I'm going to post the report. From there I need you all to make corrections to it, as I likely screwed the whole thing up.
So...that's the plan for the next hour. If not everyone gets on...I'll see if ILH can shoot WTB the email later. Or maybe Millard lol

Blog Kickoff
Hey guys! I see you've found the blog.
This site will mainly be for use by our non-facebook friends, but those of you with the book of faces do not hesitate to use this page as well (just please do not post your points on BOTH sites for every thing).
Our tribe is now official! We've over ridden the required 21 members. Here are the people that have joined the Order of the Silvertree;
Keeneye
Iluvhorses
Lauren Stoops (please give me your username)
DragonBoy
Chris
DaughterofLight
Millardthemk
Winter's Read
Brianna
Larliss
Candace Owings
Jamie Caudil
William Wadsworth (willard for you DIOMers)
Shane Deal
CJ G
Gabrielle Schultz
Name removed
Caleb Hughes (though all he'll be doing really is homework lol)
Thomas Nolan
And two other friends of ILH I believe. I think they're active.
There are a few others that have joined the Facebook group, I still have to check if they are serious about this or not. But I believe the list I've given is the bare minimum with some folks that are not going to be competing really ie Caleb
What's this mean? Recruit! We sill need a good many more members. Let's try and pull all the new forum members into our tribe as well.
On the topic of points, on the sidebar of this blog is the format for points. After each report I will post where each of us stand.
Any suggestions?
