Yes, completely. No sign-up, nothing to buy and no prize: on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok you play for entertainment and for a fictional title, Royal Courtier.
You comment on the round’s video naming your faction and explaining why. The faction must be a whole word, not part of a longer one: «greenish», «redhead» or «blue-sky» are not a vote. The words that count are exactly these: RED · ORANGE · GREEN · BLUE (upper, lower or mixed case). They can go anywhere in the comment; if you name several colours, the first one counts. If you write none, the colour square counts (🟥 🟧 🟩 🟦). Only your last comment before Her Majesty’s closing comment counts.
It can happen: YouTube, Instagram and TikTok filter comments on their own, by criteria they do not publish and without warning. If the platform does not publicly show your comment under the video, dasmina does not see it and cannot count it; it is not something the organiser can review or reverse. If you have an account on dasmina.com, your panel shows whether we have read it and when the thread was last read.
If it is not there, leave it from the website. In the last two hours of each round, from 12:00 until Her Majesty closes the vote, you can write your comment in My account › Play, with your faction and your argument. It counts exactly like a comment on the network, for the Quiz and for the Shield of the Masses, and as always your latest one counts, here or on the network. To use it, your network account must be verified in your panel. Before 12:00, comment again on the network.
Beware of a trap: in your own app your comment always shows, even if nobody else sees it. The list that counts is the one we see as the video’s authors.

You do not need it to play: the Quiz is played by commenting on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. But with an account on dasmina.com —two minutes, no passwords— you get four things:
1. Your game in one place. In My account you see what you commented in each round, what the answer was, your progress in charts and whether you are still alive for the title of Royal Courtier, without looking for it on social media.
2. Knowing whether your comment counts. Which faction we read it as, whether it is valid and when your network was last read.
3. A plan B if the network fails. If your network does not show your comment or we did not understand it, in the last two hours of each round you can leave it from the website, with your network account verified, and it counts just the same. Without an account, that vote is lost.
4. Notifications. Of every new round and its results, by email and, if you verify your phone, by WhatsApp.
What it does not give is any advantage in the game: with an account or without, your vote is worth the same.

Yes, by commenting again: your last valid comment before closing counts. Debate is part of the game, and changing your mind because someone convinced you is playing well.
If you do not comment in a round you have no vote, and without a vote you belong to no faction: you are out of that game’s Quiz. No lives here: the only way back is the Pardon, if one day Her Majesty decides to pardon your group. You may keep commenting in the following rounds, because your vote still counts for the Shield of the Masses, but you no longer qualify for the title in that game.
In the Initial Phase, yes. Imagine the correct answer was Green and the other three got it wrong. Only the wrong faction with the fewest votes falls: if Orange had 3 votes, Blue 30 and Red 80, Orange falls and the others survive, sheltered by the power of the mass. A wrong faction with zero votes does not count: the next wrong faction with the fewest votes falls, and if no wrong faction has any votes nobody falls. If two or more wrong factions tie on the fewest votes, the round number decides: in an even-numbered round all the tied factions fall and in an odd-numbered round they are all spared and nobody falls. The Masses are every valid comment on the round, across all of the Queen’s official networks and both languages (Spanish and English): not just the network you play in. That is the Shield: being in the largest wrong group protects you provisionally. In the last rounds (the Final Phase) there is no Shield: you are right or you fall, majority or minority. And beware: Her Majesty may unleash her Wrath and eliminate every wrong faction at once, above all if she detects organised votes to manipulate the Shield.
I shall explain it myself; it is my Shield, after all. Three cases, three examples:
1. A wrong faction with zero votes. The correct answer was Green; Red has 80 votes, Blue 30 and Orange none. An empty faction is not “the least voted”: it is a faction that does not exist. Blue falls, the next one with votes. And if all three wrong factions are at zero, nobody falls: I do not banish empty chairs.
2. A tie in an even-numbered round. Round 4; the correct answer was Green; Red 80, Orange 3 and Blue 3. Orange and Blue tie at the bottom, and in even rounds a tie is paid in full: both fall.
3. A tie in an odd-numbered round. The same split in round 5. In odd rounds the tie saves you: neither of them falls, and I do not move on to Red either. That day my pit stays empty. Enjoy it; it will not last.
The round number is the one on each video: the first is 1 and the last is 10. And the correct answer never falls, not with zero votes and not as the least voted: being right is still being right.

A move by Her Majesty: resolving an Initial Phase round with no Shield of the Masses. When she unleashes it, it is not only the smallest incorrect faction that falls: everyone who got it wrong falls, majority or minority. It comes with a strict rule: it is declared before voting closes, with votes still moving and without knowing how the split will end up, and the time of the declaration is recorded. It is not announced: you learn of it when the result is published. And one thing can unleash it: someone organising votes to manipulate the Shield. That is why coordinating to survive while getting it wrong is a real risk: that day the Shield may not exist.
If the outage hits in the last two hours of the round —from 12:00 until Her Majesty closes the vote—, you can leave your comment from the website, in My account › Play, with your network account verified: it counts just as if you had left it on the network. Outside those two hours, or if that network is switched off for the round, that Quiz round is not played on that network, full stop: nothing to claim and no way to recover it, because nothing is at stake here. The Quiz goes on in whichever other networks are on.
The title of Royal Courtier: whoever reaches the last round of the Quiz alive enters that game’s register of courtiers. It is a fictional honour: worth no money, not redeemable for anything. It is won on social media and stays on social media.
No. The Quiz is played by commenting, no account needed. What having one gives you is under «What do I get if I sign up?».
Nothing, and there is no need: in the Quiz there is no prize and nothing to claim. If a comment is voided it is because it was not a valid vote —no faction, no argument, after the close, or manufactured with fake, duplicate or automated accounts—; the result is recalculated with the valid ones and the Quiz goes on.
No. It is a game of skill based on social intuition: the correct answer is set in advance and you win by getting it right. No draw, no chance, no prize.
No. dasmina is an independent game. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Meta and Google do not sponsor, endorse or administer this game.
