GCD Rules&Guidelines
Frequently Asked Questions:
Are repeat threads allowed?
Yes, so long as they are not identical.
We're allowed to have multiple similar threads, event related or not. And nearly all the threads I saw for this event touched on different points, even if they recycled the same clues and hints from before. And the main reason I saw in this last event for multiple threads was that the main big 300+ page thread was too fast and too big- and people weren't able to read what was already tried and found.
Personally I think the micro events do sorta belong here so long as it sparks a discussion, of which a majority of them do. The last mini-event (and the only one) that I thought was bad in terms of lack of discussion was the Pirate event- since it literally was just "spam pirate words until you get the items". And even so, the dev only gave us a day to spam forums outside the event forum during that event. Everything else involved team discussions, clues and hints, and other sort of fun useful things.
I didn't even really participate in this last event since I'm not that into sherlock. But I'm always happy when we get little fandom events like this. It's a nice change from the same ol' crap that gets posted here day in day out. Talk about repetitive topics...
