Spoiler Discussion
Per to the newsletter, should we add the spoilers? -- Scootz 14:57, 31 March 2008 (PDT)
Lets wait on the spoilers till after the quest is over. Just to be safe. --Prisoner 15:04, 31 March 2008 (PDT)
I agree with Priz. I did add the Mini quest spoilers as it seemed the warning was more for the big quest, but those can be easily removed as well if we deem it necessary.--UpInTheAir 15:09, 31 March 2008 (PDT)
So... now its over. Shall we post them? If we do (and I think we should), I would like to make sure that these are well-done spoilers. I have pictures of what the NPCs said as clues, and I think we should also keep track of what is "written down" each time and explain where each answer comes from. Sound reasonable? Oh, and I'm thinking we should call the section "answers" and not "spoilers" to emphasize that we didn't release them until after all was done. --Prisoner 13:02, 2 April 2008 (PDT)
Agreed that "Answers" should be posted now (and perhaps even a note that these were purposely not added until after the fact and a link to the Event Info section where usage of "spoilers" was frowned upon") and I agree that they should be "well-done". I had already uploaded all the NPC messages as of 29 March 2008 but because we hadn't put any spoilers in they are currently in their own little section. Feel free to move them around/use them as you see fit. Hope this can get done soon :)--UpInTheAir 12:22, 10 April 2008 (PDT)
Anybody planning on working on this?--UpInTheAir 11:37, 12 April 2008 (PDT)
