LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[Kona2]

Four days to claim your reindeer...and gee, it would BE NICE and SEASONAL if our reindeer would stay with the team until the SLEIGH FLIES. Kind of ruins reindeer games for me.

Here are the totals for the last three days. Congratulations to our erging teammates. Way to earn those charity dollars - these apply no matter what team you're on.

We're in countdown AND countup mode.....

The Concept2 Universe is on track to make the $30K donation goal ... at least according to previous year's data! It always looks a bit bleak when we are at less than $25K with about 36 hours remaining in the Challenge. Still, never doubt the power of the Concept2 Holiday pin to bring in the meters just like last minute gifts! Some have paced themselves well to reach their personal holiday goals on Christmas eve.

Three new reindeer rescued from the free range today: this brings our reindeer total to 47 !


Kringle (Janice)


Felix (Ted C-G)


Noel (Chuck E)

Three reindeer joined the tail waggin' herd! Congratulations to:


Stargazer (Norma)...with a palindrome total of 400,004 m !


Thunder (Ken)


Prancer (Ronnie)



And TWO additional fully blinged out reindeer: the antler lights, the flashing harness, the tail wag and the ear wag!

Way to go one and all. Lots of rock'n reindeer row'n happening there.

A new teammate has joined us: welcome to Ian B of GBR! We wish you much good camaraderie and many good erging sessions!

Again nice job for all that reached the milestones. Ian, I hope you are on the forum and enjoy your stay with the Luna Tics. Welcome.

Does anyone know how that whole swag thing works? The C2 site says I can get a gift certificate, but when I sent the email in the past (like at 30MM), I never received a response. It goes against my Scottish blood to turn down anything free
DDRR

Both Danno and I have both experienced the lack of loot response, after a certain number of multi-meters. I did receive coupons for Café Press, after the first multi-meter milestone, but not since. (Yes, I sent several email requests, per their online form.) I loved their early gifts of teeshirts, shorts, etc. ... Concept2's motivational stuff is very generous. Maybe I should start a new persona and begin at the beginning, again ...

I have also had the same problem at the different 5 Mm milestones.

Thanks David. I didn't even try to get the swag for 35MM. What motivates me and makes the effort meaningful are the good wishes and support from all my wonderful team mates
The way he is is going, I think Ed, the "Doha Demon", will blow by both of us before too long
Best wishes to all,

I agree completely DDRR. I would not put in so many meters if it wasn't for the team and the wonderful people who make it a team. I am also not a threat. haha.
