    GRYFFINDORS!

    I need your input. At least Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have started doing this, and I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to at least try.

    Those Houses have started using a spreadsheet on Google Docs so that they can all go to a link, enter their own numbers, and save the Head of House more time for actually participating and thinking of challenges and doing normal life stuff.

    You all know how hard of a time I've been having getting back into a routine and sticking to it. To be frank, the time it takes (and the motivation needed to start it each week) to record all your numbers and post all the results is daunting and a huge hurdle for me each week. I LOVE our little House and our group, but I think I need something to help take the load off a bit.

    Now, what I'm thinking we try is this:

    I'll set up a Google Doc spreadsheet where we will all go and enter our weights and House Points and OWLs/NEWTs/SPEW points for the week. It won't calculate the totals as a group, because I'll just do that real fast after all the numbers are entered. I'll still send out reminder messages when needed, but YOU would be responsible for entering your OWN stats into the chart.

    Since everyone will be able to go in and view everyone's progress whenever they like, I'll stop posting the charts each week, and skip right to announcing the Prefects and stuff. The weekly challenges would stay the same (in the blog).

    You would all still be MORE than welcome to keep posting in the Common Room thread to brag about the progress you're making or get support. Actually, if we implemented this system, all your update posts would count as SPEW, too. You'd just be entering it yourself so I don't have to separate the numbers from the SPEWing :)

    What do you guys think? Do you think this would be something you're willing to do once we get the kinks out?

    I'd definitely agree to that! It will be great to take some of the load off you :)

    Absolutely!! We have started doing that for the Twilight Challenge as well. It works just fine and saves a bunch of work for one person.

    I'm in. I know I suck at updating regularly and getting my numbers to you, but I promise I would give it my best!

    I want to support him, but I don't love scary movies :( I'm glad he was good in it, tho! That makes me proud.
