If two separate bingos have the same prompt can I use one fill for the two identical prompt?

[synnerxx]

You mean two different bingos on the same card or two different bingo comms?

[kristianabel22]

two different bingo comms

[synnerxx]

As long as it's not a violation of the other comm's rules, I'm fine with it. :)

What happens if one requested a card, but did not manage to complete any fills before the end of amnesty? Because I'm like 90% sure that's going to be the case with me.

[synnerxx]

Nothing! You're free to request a card for round 2 if you want and there's no penalties or anything.

[roseargent]

Huh, I never got a notif about this comment.

Thank you for the quick response! And that's good to know.

[synnerxx]

Yeah, LJ has been weird with their notifications lately.

No problem. :)

I never got to finish my bingo card in time for the end of round 1..is it still amnesty period, and I can still post my card if that's the case? (obviously I know I won't get points for it).

[synnerxx]

No. round 2 has begun already, but you are free to request a new card for this round.

Hi! I have a question about one of the bingo extras, the cross square. I'm a little confused to as what is a cross square on dark_bingo, because most bingo communities seem to define it differently.

Can the adjoining squares be connected horizontally or must they be vertical? Should there only be a single square in between the adjoining fills or can there be two or more?

[synnerxx]

This is what a cross should look like:

[loveforlykke]

Sorry if I'm being confusing, but I meant one of the extras, not the cross.

"Cross-square (parallel squares) (2 prompts) - 2 prompts per fill, 2 fills, 200 points" How is this bingo designed to use in dark_bingo?

[synnerxx]

Any two opposite prompts separated by a square combined into one fill.

So say your row had broken bones, grief, supernatural, regaining memories, and loss of voice. You'd combine supernatural and loss of voice into one fill to make the cross extra. :)

When does the main bingo sign ups begin? Just out of curiosity.

[synnerxx]

I'm gonna start them on October first for the next round! Perfect time for creep things. :)
