~~General Rules and FAQ~~~
1. This counts as your pony/familiar freebie for the event!
2. No deleting of posts! Deleting posts will lead to automatic disqualification
3. Proxies ARE NOT allowed in this game, sorry.
4. DO NOT SHARE THE QUESTIONS WITH ANYONE. This game is meant to be a work alone, independent event; if anyone is found to have shared the questions with another player or worked with another player, both/all involved players will be disqualified.
5. You get one shot to answer the questions, so be sure of your responses when you send them back! You are not allowed to change any answers after I've received them.
6. You may co-own if you win, but the prize will count as both your freebies.

Q: That's a lot of info. Can you simplify the rules for me, please?
A: Sure!
1.Post your completed preference form in the thread.
2. Receive a pm from me with the trivia questions (do not share the questions with anyone)
3. Have your preference form quoted by me, marking your 'start time.' This is your starting time post
4. Working alone (aka not with other players), answer the questions as rapidly as you can.
5. Send me a pm with your answers
6. Immediately quote your starting time post (so, quote me)
7. Relax
Q: Wait, the game is open for 24 hours, but the instructions say you'll only send the questions between 2pm and 12am. Is that a typo?
A: Nope, that's intentional. Players have a 10 hour window to start playing, and then up to 14 additional hours to get their answers in. Also, I have to sleep in there sometime.
Q: Why do I have to post in thread, get a pm, pm you back my answers, AND quote you in the thread? Doesn't that seem like overkill?
A: Unfortunately, Gaia sometimes likes to eat pms. I don't want to risk having someone send me their answers and me not get them without knowing something is wrong. If I've been quoted but I don't have a pm from you, then I can follow up. Plus I like having extra confirmation!
Q: What if there is a tie?
A: Well, that will sort of depend on the nature of the tie. Preferably there will be a tie among the first three players, and they will have different preferences so there is no problem. But if there IS a complication with preferences, or multiple players tie for the top slots, ties will be broken via sudden death speed Pokemon trivia!
Q: May I edit my preference list after I posted it?
A: Yes, as long as you make ANY changes before the game closes. Please make a note at the top of your preference post IN RED with the time you made the change.
