HELLOO PVIANS

This post is exclusively dedicated to celebrate the culmination of the Haunted House Treasure Hunt Competition

I had promised my fellow Shadow Demons a post like this (just today)

For those who do not wander around the main forum, the Crazy Creatives (no doubt crazy because they invented this game) introduced us to this game and we were the interested parties to volunteer for our forum

******************************************************************************
EACH SHADOW DEMON WILL NOW HAVE TO SHARE HIS/HER EXPERIENCE WITH US
******************************************************************************
here I go
I don't know about the others but it took quite a lot of time for me to understand what this business actually was:
Each team (forum) had to visit the other forums for treasures...One treasure was one piece of a picture and all treasures made a complete picture

It was pretty simple, we followed the steps, formed the team...gave it a name and now was the time for the biggest task:

The team had to discuss about their course of action as in getting together...finding a place to hide the clues

Pickachu took the responsibility of leading us...I remember we were discussing during the wee hours of a night (IST) about the place..we hid the treasure accordingly
Everything planned perfectly...the thread was complete too

Now came the D-Day...the 29th of October 2012

Excited like never before...I logged into my a/c...I was required to go to work in an hour so that really didn't help

I kept checking my Inbox for any possible updates from Pickachu...and the first shock of the day in the form of her message was:

Hey the contest has just begun !!!

I had taken up Team IPKKND and thus I set off to get my clues...they were considerate enough to reply atleast after 2 requests..I got the clues but I knew I won;t be able to get the treasure for my team since my phone was in a non-cooperative mood

In the meantime I had made Kadeen my agony aunt...she suggested me to forward my clues to Pearl so that she'll help me...but she had already done a lot

Once I reached home I PMmed Pickachu...(Chief for me) IPKKND's clues...but she'd already got them..she sent me the link to a probable post where the treasure might have been hidden by them...we found the treasure almost at the same point of time

Chief told me that Pearl_27 had already got 5 clues for us!!!
FIVE!!! This girl is awesome...that meant 80% of the task was accomplished

Three treasures were still supposed to be found out...Chief is truly a chief...she found out the 2 within some minutes

We were relieved..there was just one treasure to be found now...but this relief was short lived..we had entered a unknown territory and the clues were not really clues
The concerned Forum's members PMmed us the clues and we started thinking on it

We were THINKING AND THINKING AND THINKING...Opening all probable threads of their forum
Hours passed by...We missed PV...DC's regular members had forgotten about it...I was on I-F for hours but had absolutely no time for my only show

It was 3:30 AM (IST)...Three of us were still scanning pages of that forum...that wasn't taking us anywhere...there seemed no end to this misery (I am not exaggerating stuff...we were caught in a never ending puzzle)

I'll show you 2 reactions from my team members to make you know our state of mind

Someone saying: Meri Bhagwaan ki Kasamh! And it's so disorganised!
Being driven insane Laku. How did any of the forums find the clue from that wretched place

The other one adding : I'm not searching that stupid forum anymore😔😔😔!

(I find this same situation I was caught in 24 hrs ago hilarious today)
I finally PMmed Chief:
It's enough for the day...lets give it a try tomorrow...thus we departed

30/10/2012
The day brought with it a ray of hope...I returned home early...Chief was online and I was joined by Kadeen too
But we had to move a mountain...a simple bit of a picture was a reason for our misery

Ther's One great thing about Chief..she'll never let you give up...Kya kya nahin kiya to get the treasure...Scanned over 50 pages of almost 30-40 topics

Anyone would ask us this simple question:
Why the hell were you provided with the clues if they were not useful at all??
SERIOUSLY...I was thinking this !!!

We had thought from all possible angles as to how the clue might help us..but in vain

Hours and some more hours of search finally brought us towards the final treasure
It was thoroughly enjoyable but gave us one sleepless night

Chief has forwarded the completed picture to the Crazy Creatives...Winning or losing was never important to us...I can't express my happiness on finding the final clue

SORRY IF THIS HAS TURNED OUT A BORING POST

I welcome all the other Shadow Demons to share their thoughts...I hope you PVians want to know it all

I will now have to part with my SD Siggy 😭😭

OK!! So it started with Vaishnavi asking us that who wants to take part in this competition!
I never really wanted too,cause of my workload but eventually,I did.
It took a lot of time for me(actually, all of us)to understand what exactly the game was about but then Fatima mailed some link to me and then I got to know it from her.

I asked for Kadeen's help but then,I found it my self in 2 minutes.
Our Captain Fatima,gave me the Arjun forum!
First,they gave me a wrong clue but again they changed it and PMed me that the clue has been changed,then I was able to put 2 and 2 together and I found it!

Second,The Parvarish Forum!
Fatima found the topic in which the tressure was hidden,at that time we only got 2 clues,but once I got the third clue,I got it all.

Third,was the Chat club Forum!
Fatima told me that (Frozen) Shalaka was not able to find it,so she forwarded me with the clues and immediately I got to know in which topic it can be and there it was!

Fourth forum was the Sensational forum!
There clue was easy,I was able to found it.Actually me and Fatima found it at the same time.

Fifth forum was Thendral forum!
That was quite easy too!

Now,30th of October.This drove me nuts,the DEK forum.Fatima totally gave up and I was a little busy,but I was so glad to know that Fatima and Frozen did it.


(While doing it,I was juggling with PV forum and my darling DC!)


It was a great experience with Fatima, Shalaka and Kadeen.
Love yaa guys!
So this was my experience,with this,this Pearly or Pearl_Index or Pearl or whatever you want to call, signing off!

I have never taken part in any of IF contests or games.
I found the concept interesting.So i joined it.
Strawbella made a post abt title of the team i said that shadow demon is kinda different.
Then she asked me to make siggy for shadow demons.
She gave me the pics (The skeleton and clown pics in ur siggy r provided by strawbella)
Then i made that pathetic siggy and sent it to strawbella.We all put it to show us as a team.
I have felt soo much embarrassed watching the wonderful siggies of other teams but i'm not expert like them😳.
Strawbella told me she had exams and requested me to take her duties.
I told her that i would do it just don't worry.
She sent me the pm and told me that CC has written detail here that how to play this game.
I read it and pmed all of u.
I was damn scared b/c the first time i read it.I did not get it but then after reading it again i got it.
I decided to give u all ur duties.
But few members were not replying and Tabeer had asked me to explain her b/c she did not get anything.So i told her few steps to follow.And then told her that i would tell her everything step by step.
I pmed u guys and asked in which topic we should hide it there were few options.
Then we decided and then made clues.Making clues was fun.
Then i asked u guys which forum r u familiar with.I gave u forums that u would search.But b/c of so less members.After giving u guys one forum each.I had 4 forums😳.When i came on PV main forum.I came to knw Tabeer's tragedy😭.I remember frozen and i talked with eachother.She was laughing that now i have to search 5 forumsšŸ˜”šŸ˜†!
I have asked some other team member for clues but in a meanwhile CC replied me and i saw that post which said that they would make a thread when game would start.I have apologized from that member.I thought that game would start on midnight on 29th.I was relief b/c i have to go to my aunty's home but before going there i came on IF and *Bomb* the game has started.
I pmed Frozen and went to aunty's home but still i was really tensed.After coming back i checked the pms and started to search.Parvariash forum was the first one.Their clues were very creative and well written.I knew the topic but i could not find the treasure then i pmed Pearl.She found it.I remember she had already found arjun forum.Then after getting clues of Chat club forum.I was confused b/c i never went to that forum.I pmed pearl and she found it.Then i have got south sensational forum clues.I have never gone to that forum but clues were easy.Pearl and i found at the same time.Then pearl went offline.I went to IPK.I asked for clue but the member said that she already gave clue to one of our team member and she could not give it to me.I told her that there is no rule like it.She gave me clues.Frozen came online.I told her that this should be that thread then pmed her that i found treasure.Then we got EHMMBH forum clues.There clues were easy too.So i found it😳.Then i got Threndral forum clues,I have never gone to that forum.But the clues were abt particular subject so i went to that section and found it .Then i went to uttaran forum, As i knw little bit of that drama so i was kinda confused between two threads but there second clue cleared my confusion and i found the treasure.D3 forum members were not replying.Atlast one of them replied.I searched few pages and found the thread resembles there clue.I went trough it and found the treasure😳.In a meanwhile i was talking to Frozen.We were soo happy.

But then Tata!! DEK forum.I remember i used to be silent member of that forum.I loved manveer.
They gave us clues but those clues made us more cluelessšŸ˜†.
Kit asked me to give english translation of those clues.I translated them into englishšŸ˜†
I remember how i went through the FFs and every thread till 11 pages🤢.
Kit,Frozen and me we were searching madly.Then Frozen told me that we would search tomorrow.Don't worry we will find it.Then Kit's msg that we r tried.We will search tomorrow.
I was like ok.But even when going to sleep.I was thinking abt it.That's why i was dreaming abt it too🤣.Guess what in my dream i have seen treasure exactly at that place from which we have found it.Only i could not read the title of the thread properly🤣.
Then after waking up,I kept revising those clues and what r they indicating atšŸ˜†.
Then i came online.Pyaar pyaar (ilovepyaar.This is ur nicknamešŸ˜†),Pearl were online.Kit and frozen even shalini also joined us.U guys were pming me especially shalini.I waslaugh b/c i was using munna bhai dean wale therapy🤣 .Everyone started to leave.After 7:00 i pmed Frozen that i gave up.I'm not searching it anymore.I'm going to watch my Pakistani serial.She agreed.But then i pmed her again and told her to try one last time.I found one thread kinda similar to 3rd clue.I pmed Frozen that it looks like the treasure is here.Then i went through it.
*Ta ta* I found the treasure.I was feeling like i have got treasure in real lifešŸ˜†.
I pmed Frozen and one to pyaar pyaar b/c she told me while leaving for her school😳.
Then i combined it and pmed it to CC😳.

Now i feel good b/c i have done my duty😳.It was an amazingg experience working with u guys😳

@Pearly:
Fatima and Frozen😲 got the final clue??No no...it was never me...the credit goes to Chief

Frozen actually stood up to her name šŸ˜†...I was actually frozen with kind of clues they gave us...Hey I had intentionally not mentioned that forum's name

@Adigaag:
I don't know about the others but I'm not expecting any rewards/returns
I am glad we were able to complete it..that too without bypassing any rules
