Nahiinnn the round was revealed at 9:30 AM EST, which is 7 PM IST. I'm sorry but I don't see how IST members could be asleep at that time. Are the Ravenclaw IST members all 3 to 5 years old that they are put to bed by 7 or 8?

The whole point of this game is to have fun. You win some, you lose some. Hufflepuffs got a bonus 10 points this round. For all you know, Ravenclaws or Gryffindors or Slytherins could get a bonus 100 points next round. Should Hufflepuffs raise a huff about that then?

Maybe I'll scrap these bonus points altogether given that the repeated complaint from Ravenclaws is timing.

Do you know that both you and Slytherin got the bonus 10 points for First to Send Names? You were off by like 5 seconds, so I awarded both teams the bonus points. Maybe Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors should get angry that they weren't told so they couldn't be first.

I'm sorry, but after seeing 3 pages of Ravenclaws complaining that I didn't say anything about time, I'm pissed. I clearly stated under the announcement "Note: I will change up the bonus points each round. And there are still many other categories of bonus points to be won." because I know it might appear unfair if I hadn't said that.

I'm trying to make it as fun for everyone as possible. I had a long list of surprise bonus points that could be awarded each round, but now I think I will remove them all and just make it the basic points.

Thanks for posting this KP!🙏

I was going to post my 2 cents comment but there is no need!

It’s a game meant for fun! Let’s not cry and crib already in the first round!

Peace 💚

Yes but we had to name 2 members before the round started. Sadly they werent even online when the questions were sent. We all are from different time zone. If only the bonus was already mentioned , we would have made sure the members were online. Not saying its biased but its wasn't transparent.

Imagine if Minionite gives all rounds according to her Canadian time, Most of IST members will be fast asleep for time based bonus points.

Yeah but

1. She chose the times where the most people would usually be active ...

2. She announced when she was going to post it.

She was transparent with that information, which is enough to start preparation and adapt accordingly.

Think about this way -

The only time Minionite could release information on the bonus points for Round 1 was when Round 1 was announced. From what Ravenclaw has said so far - you would not have qualified for the time bonus because you didn't have people ready. So that information would have been useless anyway.

If you say that two people could have volunteered to answer the question ASAP that defeats the entire argument being made.

Lol you should write the books.

But truly Dumbledore was the most biased anyone has ever gotten. He was all about Harry this, Harry that. I love the books for all their messages and their themes, but there was so much wrong with them.

Like my biggest qualm has always been: why were the Slytherins just shown as all-out evil? Since when is being ambitious and a go-getter a sign of evil?

In many ways Dumbledore does represent real life though. I mean we've probably all had a teacher who was biased towards one student or a boss who was biased towards one employee.

Any specific reason behind Zeal, WD commenting in green colour?🤔

This Dumbledore is very unbiased. I like all houses equally. In fact I'm still pissed off at how Slytherin was represented in the books and movies. They weren't even given one chance. They just became synonymous with evil.

We had good wizards and witches too people

Heck even Merlin was Slytherin but was he evil?

No he wasnt

We are also like other flawed yes not perfect yes but bad no not always

It feels sad

And the other two houses were also not given the equal importance

I am not understanding where exactly is the issue here.. Hufflepuff or Gryffindor were not aware of this hidden bonus same goes for us Slytherin and for Ravenclaw. (i hope got names ryt, improving HP lingo)... everyone was in dark here. So its not like it was biased decision...

H was just minutes away fro G sending it.. It might hv been that G would hv won it too.

About Hufflepuffs getting bonus points is actually a good thing. Because then you are recognizing them for being early with their answers. So don't want them not to get those points as they earned them by being the fastest.
