I wonder if this challenge could be salvaged in the future with the rule that you're not allowed to use any tools except your clipboard. You have to hide it "by hand" and find it "by hand." Obviously turning into a game of automated spamming and script hunting is no fun.

Also this challenge looks like it's going to be extremely not close at all.

yeah i think allowing scripts and etc was an experiment that maybe makes sense for "barely survivor" but my takeaway is let's not do that again.

Obviously turning into a game of automated spamming and script hunting is no fun. I mean to be fair I don't think a game of manual spamming and script hunting is more fun cause then it could easily become who has more free time (as it seems that people have spent all their time spamming and not really messaging their tribe mates). Though I suppose you could time control the spam as well. Also it might just be me but I don't find spamming threads...fun, nor do I find sorting through spam fun.

I think the challenge could work if there was some restriction on the spamming. Either a one hour time limit or the mods being the one to spam the forum would be an improvement.

It's a pain of course but still kind of cool in a "needle in a haystack" kind of way. But yeah most of the ways to keep it under control probably require implementing a live component.

I really like what you all did with the RI version. Still challenging enough to be competitive and interesting, but not so much that it's unfun (plus, all of the threads have some personality!).
If I run this challenge in a future game I'll probably cut out the hiding part and just have mods/specs spam the forum.

I don't understand why they're hiding the refresh page spoilers in other spoilers? Doesn't that reveal them as not real spoilers? Wouldn't it be better to just have them in the list?

I think it's reasonably smart actually. You have two methods of searching to counter - webpage source, and actually clicking through and opening the spoilers. Opening the spoilers is *far* more efficient when there's a whole bunch of images on the page, because the images are all right there, you don't have to open each one in a new window to check if it's the correct one.
Having spoiler tags that refresh the page are a counter to that strat, because you lose your spot in the page whenever you accidentally click on one.

Maybe I shouldn't have stuck it in a spoiler tag.

I think it's fine. If there's a wall of spoilers, I'm going to try to click through each one as fast as possible. I'm not going to stop and consider whether it's a real spoiler.
That said, it sounds like the Droids are going to find the image through the page source, so it won't matter.

It shouldn't be that hard to code source since only a few have any images whatsoever, and those can be manually searched without really any spoilers.
