Goals, Challenges, New Member, New Highscore

Silvertree! I am so proud of all of you on account of last week! I threw down a challenge of 10K and many of you matched it! If you didn't you got an easy 5K which is very amazing and my buddy Millardthemk made up for it.

On his own Millard earned nearly 40,000 Vanadils!!!!!!

This is a HUGE achievement :) That many points in one week deserves great praise. So because of it, I took a break and let him pass me up in the rankings ;)

That's right. Keeneye Straightarrow no longer leads Silvertree in points. We have a new powerhouse. And his name is Millard. ::applause::

And what did he do to get that many points? Very simple--wrote reviews. It's not too hard. Just review each book on ten different sites and, assuming you've read TDW, TWLC, COTSK, and the Pirate Books, that's an easy 30,000! Millard also did a few videos and stuff that gave him an extra boost.

On that note I'm proud of you guys :) Most all of you have done videos and that's just great :) Keep it up. Those are quick and easy points.

On a different note we have a new member of sorts. She's already flown up the charts, as has Yanks ::cheers::. Her name is Brenna! she's a good friend of mine so welcome her nicely :)

Finally this is what I really wanted to post about. Millardthemk and Winter's Read, the top two scorers of this tribe, have issued a challenge to you all that they want me to repeat. I think they'll be posting it in their own words but here is the gist of it.

Every week for the month of January try and get 20,000 Vanadils. Every week.

There are three weeks left this month for tribe reports. So your total for the month should end up being 60,000. That's what the top three have right now! You coulud get it in three weeks!

Reaching this goal is difficult, but not impossible. It will be harder for the people higher up in points, to them I say set a goal of maybe 10K a week. For those with lesser points here are some easy tips;

• Write reviews
• Write blog posts
• Post links on your blog
• Post the purchasing links
• Make videos
• Go to a store that carries the books and get a photo with an employee (WTB/CH and I will be the only ones seeing the picture if you would like. Or only WTB/CH oif you really want it that way)
• Twitter/FB about COTSK
• DO YOUR HOMEWORK
• But a banner ad on your blog (see the COTSK one on mine)
• Amazon Listmania
• FB Fan Pages
• Make posters

Those are some easy ways. Ones that are mainly free and easy. Remember our focus for the month is internet. So if you think that list is too much, focus on the internet ones. Should you do all of those things you should be fine :) Even if you do most of them :)

And remember. The top seven scorers get an extra prize from the authors. If you want to choose the name of a character in their next book, or have it named after you. Try and make it to that top 7. It's not that hard ;)

Endurance and Victory to all of you! Cling to the tree that is silver!
