Team A Rose By Any Other Name is ready to go for the 2018 Clean-A-Thon!!

All links are on the team page. 

Link to Hangouts

Link to Prizes Giveaway G2G

Link to Tally Tracking

 

This is the place for lengthy conversations, to cheer each other on and have a generally good time. 

I also understand there are some other teams who want to talk smack (cough...I mean banter). Bring it on!

Snazzy New Logo. Thanks Edison!

Hm. That distorted vertically on my screen. Don't know why offhand. But...

Here are three size examples of the new one we discussed. I'll add some wonderfully fake Latin so you can see what they each look like in relation to a full line of text above. And don't worry; I'll go back and edit this comment to clean it up after/if you choose one or more of these as team temporary G2G "signatures," and I'll email a quick cheat-sheet to the team telling them how to use them. First up is the largest, but still a sorta modest size:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean cursus risus vel neque. In imperdiet tempor elit. Curabitur velit dolor, aliquam ut, convallis viverra, blandit quis, felis. Sed sapien velit, viverra sed, commodo at, ullamcorper et, lacus. The medium, subtler size:

Proin metus lacus, scelerisque quis, consequat sit amet, malesuada eget, libero. Integer feugiat ante id tellus. Sed venenatis eros sed sapien. And the smallest that we can get away with and retain legibility:

Edited to add: For those who come across this and are truly puzzled, for the Source-a-Thon last October we did a "Game of Thrones" inspired graphic--it read "Game of Thons"--and we decided last minute to stay with that theme. The one from last October and this new one are both available in large versions suitable for use as a tattoo template if someone wants to go all Ben Affleck and get one inked across the shoulder blades.  ;-)

These look fabulous! I like all of the sizes for different purposes. Will they all be available?
If you want. I think the smallest may be too small, but I can post it. For that one we're doing a size reduction from 3,300 pixels down to 175. Just no way to preserve the lines squeezing it down that far. I tried to bribe Photoshop by telling it I'd give it a rest if it did a better job rendering it. No go.
LoL I like the top size.

Alright Team Roses, it is almost game time. Let's go out an prove to the world what we are made of! 

Those of us with debilitating illnesses and health issues can stand up (figuratively) and say, "Hey! I am not my disability. I am strong inside and I can achieve whatever I set my mind on."

TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE! 

And what we achieve will be added to the other team's achievements and won't that be WOW FOR WIKITREE!!!!

GO ROSES

Just a typical day for me :-D Thank goodness our internet provide recently boosted our internet speed. Before, I couldn't have that many tabs open without crashing.
Crash just reminded me to add something to the sheet! I've been slacking!
Emma, lets not get into tabs.  Right now I only have 7 tabs open because its about bedtime and I'm shutting down.  But around Ole Miss when I was there about 20 years ago, they would joke that if they wanted to test out the endurance of a new server they would just give it me to try out as a desktop because of how many I kept open at once.  If there were any weaknesses I would surely find them. Then when I started practicing law from home, they would really tease me because I had 2 server class machines and a laptop in my home office and would keep so many tabs open on all of them I was in danger of crashing them all.  

But I try to keep it at least under 10 tabs for CAT because I need my machine to move fast. :)
Haha Mary! Too funny.  Yah, for the CAT I will have absolutely everything shut down except for my CAT--even my email (which I never ever close)
I will have to test my tablet out to see how many it will let me open at once. Most I've gone is like 8 or so. Well I take that back because I was on split screen with like 8 on one and 3 or 4 on the other. I am glad I opted for a 17 inch tablet. Yeesh!! Lol
I lose count of how many tabs I would have on any given windows. LOL
Lol so we all have tab problems!
Wonder if there's a cure... ? :D
Too many Charlotte. I have seen your computer screen. Lol!
LoL that you have! :D

Team Roses, good news! Previously in email we discussed the logistics difficulties in deploying the new XTDS effectively in multiple locations. Well, with help from our friend Dan Grossman, we've been able to commission five of these babies:

Since the XTDS operates on huge compressed air tanks, we need a lot of lifting power, so the airship crews will consist of only two pilots plus the XTDS operator. We'll position one over western Europe, one over the UK, and three over North America.

And, yep; we stayed with the 2017 Source-a-Thon "Game of Thons" theme. It worked then, so we won't tinker with a winning formula.  :-)

Welcome to all the new members.  Hope you have a blast working with the Team.  Wish it didn't fall on next weekend, as I have a family get-together on Saturday which will take most of the day, and a doctor's appointment Monday morning.  I will do what I can in-between times.  Good luck, everyone. Go Roses!!

Just logged in and starting to contribute on 2018 CAT. You are all doing phenomenal; I will do what I can but will probably not be able to check in on the hangouts much at all for lack of time. Go Roses!
by Rod DuBois G2G6 Pilot (192k points)

Good on ya, Rod! I'm the in absentia team member who isn't even playing along this time.  :-(  Just checking in before an 11:30 lunch here from a lovely and well-planned annual meeting...but one that controls all my time save sleep from yesterday through until I leave after lunchtime on Monday. Every 3rd weekend in April. No break for me again until after 10:00 or 11:00 tonight, so I'll check back and catch the team totals then.

Go Roses!

Thanks again Ed for your fantastic logo and its multiple uses, also your creative, witty injections and ongoing interest to check in on us through the CAT. Love the enthusiasm.

Anybody likely to speak to Emma McB any time soon?  I sent her a PM about a situation which is unfortunately becoming rather urgent - but I expect she's not looking at her mail...
