Spoiler Rules [3/13/22]

Post by Broocevelt »

Spoiler Rules
We currently have none, as all games have been translated in English (officially or not) for more than six months now! Check back here if a new game gets announced.
Spoiler : Old Rules for Reference :
Dai Gyakuten Saiban (I and II) spoiler rules
These rules will stay in effect until further notice
Dai Gyakuten Saiban (DGS) was released in Japan on July the 9th of 2015. Dai Gyakuten Saiban II (DGS2) was released in Japan on August the 3rd of 2017. These were released in English on July 27, 2021.

As it takes some people more time to play through games then others, but this is an Ace Attorney fansite, our policy is to allow six months for people to play the game, but after that, to allow spoilers freely. Accordingly, we are maintaining our spoiler policy until January 27, 2022. Until that day, abide by the following:
  • You must mark all showcases of cases that contain spoilers with the following prefix in the thread's title: [DGS] for DGS and [DGS2] for DGS2
    • You may instead mark showcases that spoil a game only by music by adding ♫ inside the appropriate brackets, like [DGS♫].
  • You must not discuss spoilers for any game in spoilers.
    • You may discuss spoilers for a game in spoiler tags in a showcase marked with that game's prefix.
  • You should specify how your case spoils a game (e.g. through use of: music, character sprites, mentioning the game's story etc).
  • You should not ask for your case to be featured if it contains spoilers.
What is not considered to be a spoiler?
The following things are not spoilers and can be discussed and displayed in any thread:
  • Anything that can be seen in:
    • Trailers
    • The Official Website
    • The Nintendo e-shop Demo
    • Magazine articles
  • Any music tracks used in promotional material (including the website, trailers and demo). For DGS, this is:
    • Chapter Opening
    • Courtroom Lobby 2015
    • Court is in Session 2015
    • Cross-Examination ~ Moderato 2015
    • Naruhodou Ryuunosuke ~ Objection 2015
    • Naruhodou Ryuunosuke ~ Objection 2015 (Alternate)
    • Asougi's theme
    • Closing Argument ~ Jury-Examination
    • Jingle ~ Chapter End
    • Susato Mikotoba's theme
    • Prussian Theme
    • Sherlock Holmes' theme
    • Sherlock Holmes' inference
    • Joint Reasoning (Type A)
    • Joint Reasoning (Type A) ~ Quiet
    • Joint Reasoning (Type C) ~ Quiet This one refers to the quiet version with an accordion
    • Joint Reasoning ~ Closing Jingle
    • London Theme
    • Iris Watson's theme
    • Baroque Van Ziegs' theme
    • "Reminiscence 5" Played in case 1
If you have any questions regarding the above rules or you have a problem with them, feel free to ask in this topic.

Spoiler rules already? Does this mean you won't be reviewing/featuring trials, Meph if they contain any spoilers like you did last time? :?

EDIT: Also, why did you link to ace-attorney.net when that site hasn't been updated in over a year. :P

Whoops. This topic was copied and pasted from the one for AAI:ME1, so that must have been left over. :P I've fixed it.

Then may I suggest another trial reviewer? Someone who will play GK-2.

(*cough*Tap*cough*) :XD:

I always found that to be one of my biggest pet peeves at the start of the year. I still remember having my competition entry be denied since it had GK spoilers. *sigh*

It's not just because I don't want to be spoilt. If a featured trial (with spoilers in it) is in the featured trials list, and someone who also hasn't played GK2 wants to play the featured trial... BAM; they're spoilt!

Yes, and that's why I suggested myself. I'll be playing GK-2 (actually, I've already ordered it) so I'll know the entire premise of the game. I could review any trials that have GK-2 spoilers since I know how you consider even the tiniest thing (like Lang's Not so fast! bubble as a spoiler before AAI was announced) as spoilers. :P

As for the featured list, perhaps Unas could make a separate section for GK-2 spoilers? Or, any featured trials could have [GK-2 spoilers] in the heading.

I don't want to see all these trials excluded again, Meph, since we don't know when the English version is coming out. :?

Why is it that much of a problem for these spoiler trials to be delayed if most people won't want to play them anyway? :)

Thanks for the offer, though.

I suppose you're right. :P

If I were to announce JM will consider GK-2 canon... aha, my trial would be abandoned quickly by the community :XD:

Meph, your post is claiming that the game is already out. You should fix your wording.

Meph, what if it's just the music, which you've already heard?

Errrrr....Would saying WHEN it takes place be alright? It only takes place 10 days after Turnabout Ablaze anyway.

It's because I can't be bothered changing that when the game is released. :P

A list of acceptable music tracks will be selected when the soundtrack is released. ;)

That's fine. ;) But Turnabout Ablaze his in GK1, which is out of the scope of these rules. :)

The rules have been updated. Tell me if there is anything that needs to be added.

I don't really get why Mikagami's theme isn't a spoiler but Tateyuki's is...

Meph needs to fix that then. Any tracks that can be found and listened to on the website aren't considered spoilers. :P
