early bird anamoly, Resolved amicably, thanks inditeam.

but for others like me knew its like indi patani which happened in past too...just name was changed....indi patanni also means early bird or those who posts earlier, were u aware of that?

for what? getitng more confused? 

It is a step for real early birds to get their worth. If there is a doubtful statement, why should innocent blogger suffer.

its not doubtful..they just changed indi patani name into its english name early bird...which means same....explained so many times yet you've not understood 

ND, I just want to know the plain english of 20 early bird prizes and peole opting for them. Where does the word merit fit in there. Why some feel that prizes were on luck itself. Suppose you considered to post for atleast an earlybird, what mistake did you do.

I didnt say anything abt merit/luck...all i said early bird is same like indi patanis that we had...nobody complained then did they 

You didn't say the merit issue, but it was raised by people. Salient thing is that our voice has reached the ears and we may get what we deserve afterall.

ok good then...congrats in advance

Thanks and cheers,

Thanks Aditya, +1000 for it. Very well said.

in all IB contests...multiple entries are allowed...so how it is unfair?

I get the point of the people who wrote the post and feel they are wronged, I belong to them but can't get the point why some are against early bird winners even when we all except the fact that all good entries with "merit" should get it.

ND, I am unable to explain my point to you. Or you are turning a deaf ear to it. Earlybird prizes when announced should have contained the words like "all posts that are posted within such and such time frame will be judged on quality and best 20 ones from those will be awarded prizes. When no such words are given and just 20 earlybirds get the prize, then the speed thinking, writing comes into play and those speedy writers should not be denied the cake, that is my simple point.

rio...my reply was to aditya's hypothesis above

and for ur early bird or whatever, why u didnt complain during indi patanis, i wonder...those were early birds too....anyways nevermind perhaps you turn a deaf ear to that...lol

Frankly and sincerely ND, i didn't know what the word indi pattani means in dictionary sense. I just took it as a category of award for posts that either pataofied indi, or indi was impressed or pataofied by it. Now when you clarified yesterday I came to know earlybird and indipatani means the same, and if they do mean the same then the real earlybirds of those posts who had understood the meaning of idipattani like you and hurriedly posted then. I had not understood it as earlybird and not opted for that slot in those contests. Had I known then. That time can not come back again.

first time indi patani was introduced last year...this link was given too explaining the meaning and it generally means those who posts first in everything hence early birds >> http://samosapedia.com/entries/15263/enthu_pattani

so those who are aware of indi patanis generally know its another name for early bird...so i was wondering why all these hooohaaaa now

@Nandini - i think there will be people like me who were not there when "indi patani" was announced. There would be many who took the contest as it was and didn't went to the history books of Indiblogger to find the meaning of that term. lol, I think I would have to ask for a "Indictionary" now...nice word isn't it? 

I missed that and I don't know kow I did miss that and miss on the sure prizes. No point lamenting now for lost cakes. Now this hoo haa is because we do not want our efforts to be washed away down the drain.

I had heard Indipattani, but thought Indipattani is some sponsor who sponsored the early bird prizes.

Just now looked up for meaning of Pattani, 'bird'. Does 'Indi' mean 'early'? 

If yes, then Wondering if 'Indiblogger' would mean 'early blogger'? - a bloogger who writes early, at 3 am in the morning.

saket...dont think so much...they just changed the 'enthu' to indi just to sync with indiblogger....meaning remains same as that link

ND, got it now

Yo bro. Lets hope for the best.

Add ambi pur in the heater 

lol@r

20 hearts mending in progress,

Some hot water coming up from Renie to douse burning hearts.

I may vow to not bathe until we all get our 1k, as stipulated.

Let's see how many ayys for or nayys against it.

Rio, as long as you don't stink online, what difference would it make to anyone if you have a bath or not!

rio u wont be able to prove u bathed or not and no one will go to ur village to check either

Well, ND, I can have camera's installed and all can see me live on a link like bigboss, if this helps.
FP, it should make a differance in my life at least.

Yes Pankti - If Rio does not bath for a 15 days and his wife files for divorce and takes away half his wealth, then he can file a court case against Indiblogger seeking compensation. Indi has to choose between giving Rio 1000 Rs now or Crores of Rupees later to compensate for financial loss and mental agony.

@ the fool, bro, somethings one should let destiny take it's course. We are just simple humanbeings.

@Rio, I meant what difference will it make to anyone you know in your online life, for ex. IBers Of course in real life, people will start running away from you if you don't have regular showers

@TF,

Who can run away from me, @ FP, who is not afraid of his life.

@Rio,

Sorry, typo, read life, as wife,

That is ok, Rio. We know both are same for you.

Hehehe, yo, reminded me of my younger brother planning to go to laddakh in self drive with his wife in open jeep from delhi, And I had strongly opposed the idea.

court case thing sounds interesting  I want a share in it 

then u too stop bathing

Ranjith, for that first step would be to marry, then the later parts,

Yes Rio, the excitement in conetst is back!

Yes, great work by Inditeam. Very well resolved 

Thanks Simply,
