I agree. We're always shown in the wrong light. Does being ambitious mean a negative thing?

Yeah Puffs weren't given much importance until JK and FB films had to portray in their stand.

(Sorry the Slytherin in me just got a little excited. Back to being lions now😆)

So true

We are ambitious but not power-hungry, we are cunning but that doesn't make us evil

And the Ravenclaws, known as the wisest of all houses they weren't shown any importance

And to be honest, everyone had flaws, Everyone had it

Be it Harry, Albus, Hermione everyone

Absolutely agree about this i also had this perception about slytherin being the evil house only. Now i have read too much about them to know its not like that. Slytherin are more ambitious Just like *cough* Priyanka Chopra *cough*😆.

Be a good head then Dumbledore Minionite.😆 Remember Slytherin were doing wrong in the books you have got a second chance to correct it here in the game.

I don't recall anyone in Slytherin being shown in good light though? JK Rowling made sure that Slytherin always appeared like bullies.

That why I've renamed Slytherins to Sexy Snakes. Got to get some positivity in there.

Lol Zeal. For saying that -100 points to Slytherin. (That's what Dumbledore would have done.) 😆

Guen - Slytherins were never shown in a good light, but Slughorn in book 6 reminded everyone that not all Slytherins are bad. Even Dumbledore himself said it once.

Thats why MG is my fav❤️ but she did buy Harry the fastest broom 😆

FYI minionite .. this a big game with many houses and participants . Please be mentally prepared for conflicts and issues . It is bound to happen if things are not crystal clear to everyone .

I totally understand EXOL. And I will do my best to make things crystal clear next round. But you all need to understand as well that there are bound to be a few surprises here and there. I will never do anything that will give any team an undue advantage, but everyone likes small surprises. Hufflepuffs were pleased to find out about the extra 10 points. Just as I'm sure you and Slytherins are about finding out that you got 10 extra points for being first to submit names.

Let everyone enjoy their small wins. The big wins will only come from playing the rounds and doing well in them. Not from these things.

Feel free to question away. But don't make such arguments as IST people were asleep at that time as your only reason for questioning everything. Based on what you've said, it seems you were more worried that you wouldn't get any bonus points.

I had asked each of the Prefects what time suits them best. Based on that I came up with the theory that posting every round around or between 10 AM to 12 PM EST or 7:30 to 9:30 PM IST is best. Note that all rounds will be posted at this time. So if there are any time-based bonus points in future rounds it will be based on this timing. And no I will not be repeating any of the bonus points right away. They might show up again a few rounds later, but next round none of these 6 bonus points will be repeated.

@ Red: Okay then. Going forward I won't announce all the categories, but just the number of categories. So like 6 for this round. I'll even try to group them so that I can say 3 are time-based, 2 are answer-based, 1 is group-based. Or something like that.

But all the teams have to agree that they won't take it in a bad way if they didn't know the categories in advance. The whole point of surprise bonus points is to make teams feel good about themselves, but also to inspire some competition for other bonus points.

When I said "Imagine if Minionite" - I mean peak time like afternoon in Canada is Midnight in India.

Sorry I didnt know you discussed timings with Prefects.

We never took it in a bad way for someone winning the bonus. We didnt know there were multiple bonus points in every round. Also if it was mentioned during result time about the bonus, we wouldn't have been surprised.
