RULES and FAQs:
PM SHYAM09 W/ ROUND 1 and ROUND 2 Answers
POST ROUNDS 3-5 IN THE THREAD
ROUND 1 RULES and FAQs:
- Please select the option that relates to you the most. Read carefully and choose appropriately.
-Q: What if I'm in between?
-A: Choose the option that is most closest to you. If you are in between, try to choose one. If you put two choices, we will automatically choose the lower / worser option as penalty.
-Q: Can I add options?
-A: No, sorry
-Q: Can I bribe you?
-A: Of course you can. Though with Anu (Shakuni), she will be able to tell automatically; with Shyam (Govind), he will play along and throw a twist at the end; and with Krishnaa (Panchaali) she will be nice and she will smile nicely, but she doesn't take bribes.
-Q: These are too many questions!!
-A: Your hubby isn't an ordinary hubby, he is a son of the great Pandu.
ROUND 2 RULES and FAQs
-Please answer only the questions that have your respective Pati in the answer.
For example:
Who is the 3rd Pandava would be answered by Arjun Patnis, but not by YBNS Patnis.
However, List the names of the Pandavas must be answered FULLY by all Patnis (the answer is YBANS). In other words, if there is a question that hints at an answer containing multiple patis (and your Pati is included), then you have to include your Pati and every other Pati in the answer. This tells us that you know things about the family members of your Pati.
-Q: What?
-A: Example: Which Pati(s) was present during the Durvasa Rshi scene? The universal answer (for those who are marrying YBNS) is Yudhi, Bhim, Nakul, Sahadev. You include YOUR pati as well as any other Pati that fulfills the question.
-Q: How should I organize this?
-A: Kindly number up to 21 and then fill in the answers for each question that pertains to your Pati. If you don't number the questions, we have no way of telling so we will just go in order.
-Q: (Readers Special) Can I get bonus points?
-A: Since you have read this, yes you can get bonus points! You may answer the skipped questions (those questions that did not have anything to do with your Pati). Each correct answer of this category gives you 0.25 points. Questions related directly to your Pati gets you 1 point.
(example for a Yudhi Patni:
* What color is Yudhi's hair?
A Yudhi Patni will get 1 point for answering this question correctly. Any other Patni will get 0.25 for answering correctly.
-Q: Is there a penalty for wrong answers?
-A: Since Round 2 answers are being PMed, there will be a 0.5 penalty for each wrong answer. However, the 0.5 penalty applies only to questions / answers surrounding your Pati and the bonus
ROUND 3 RULES and FAQs
* The focus of Round 3 is relationships. A healthy relationship is what all couples and power couples and romantic couples, etc deserve / want / strive for. But relationships can never be one sided. As StarYuddhi says, one cannot be samarpit to 5, but 5 can be samarpit to 1.
*You will be judged by other competing patnis and other jijis (competing patnis of your brother in laws). You will also be judged by the judges (of course).
-Q: Does it have to be funny or serious or something?
-A: It can be neither, a bit of both, or one or the other. The judges will not be judging you on comedy or seriousness or anything. If we like the response you give, we like the response you give. Keep this in mind though -- we've known each other for the entire duration of the serial. If you come across as a funny person when your posts were relatively calm and mild, we'll give you props for the funny bits, but you will be punished for posing rather than answering with your true personality.
-Q: Do I have to answer all the questions?
-A: Nope. But every question you don't answer will have a penalty.
-Q: Does the answer have to be long? If so how long?
-A: If you can keep it short and sweet, more power to you. If you need to write longer to express your thoughts, we'll be glad to read it.
-Q: Any tips?
-A: Good question. 1) Re-read what you wrote. If you lose attention while writing, there is a good chance judges might too. 2) Don't think too low or too high of yourself. Being able to write better only means that you think someone else writes worse than you. Thinking that you cannot write just means that you believe that you don't have the confidence to stand next to our Patis. Our Patis don't deserve that. Write what you feel. If it's serious and emotional, it's serious and emotional. If it's humorous, it's humorous. You're trying to impress your Patis, who are being represented by your three judges, not your other rivals.
-Q: So where do I send this?
-A: Please post within the forum and check page 51 a day later to confirm that your post has been added.
-Q: Can I change my answers?
-A: Of course you can, but be sure to EDIT your posts and not create new posts. Just don't edit your post after the deadline -- we know all, we see all!
ROUND 4 RULES and FAQs
So Round 4 huh ... Round 4 has to deal with how well you know YOUR Pati. This is different from the Pati Specific Questions where those were just knowing the facts of your pati. These require you to think and dig a bit digger in your heart(s) .
Each Pati has 3 questions related to him!
Please post this in the thread as well, preferably separately. Please check Page 51 a day after to confirm that your post has been recorded. If it hasn't been updated, please PM Shyam.
-Q: How long?
-A: Well Good Day to you too! Length doesn't matter (well actually it does ... it'll get boring reading a post that just says I Love You Arya again and again and again for 5 page), Short and Simple, Long and Strong whatever works best for you.
-Q: Can I skip any questions?
-A: Sure. But they will hurt you, not help you.
-Q: Why are my questions more harder than the other patnis?
-A: Each Pati is different, hence a different style question. Plus, these questions take into effect how popular or unpopular a specific pati is (for example Arjun vs. Sahadev). In the end though, they each represent the Pati.
-Q: Ha my questions are easy. I can answer them all with "I love my Arya and I will do anything for them!"
-A: Great! Now read Anu's post (first post on this page) and then come back here. You want to say that again 😈 .. if you do, go for it. But if everyone writes the same thing except for one participant, I assure you that the judges will go for the one that stands out.
-Q: this is too much work!!!
-A: Gasp! (whispers) Don't think of this as work! What will your Aryas think??
