Unknown challenge

Yes, this whole wiki is all about spoilers - however I personally think it takes a bit the fun and the challenge out of it to spoil the unknown challenge before the tournament has closed. Yes, I'm aware the tournament patch is free to download, but reading through the sources is a lot harder than just reading up the finished solution here.

Bcode, your descriptions are absolutely great, with 'screenshots' and everything, kudos, but would it be ok for you to hide it until Dec 1? What do you think? --62.80.22.187 12:04, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

The solution is pastebinned somewhere else, anyway, so that wouldn't stop people from looking it up. (Not even considering that any "hiding" I could do would still leave the solution easily accessible in the page history.) Also, IMHO if you don't want to be spoiled, just don't read the article/section - especially given the spoiler warning on the Main Page. As you mentioned, spoilers are what this wiki is all about.

(FWIW, the most recent version of the tournament patch including the newest challenge isn't yet downloadable; at least it wasn't the last time I checked.) --Bcode (talk) 12:37, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

KoL

Why was this removed from Kingdom of Loathing? --Tjr (talk) 15:07, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

I removed this as the column is titled "Official description" and the description on devnull's trophies page doesn't include it. It should probably be added in some way to the KoL challenge subsection; maybe I will add to it later as I still need to add some other challenge subsections, too. --Bcode (talk) 15:16, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
