> We're OK with you publishing facts about Starfighter games/levels but don't want people to be exposed to intentionally hidden facts (discovery of which is, in many cases, the point of the level) unless they go looking for them.

I am asking because I sometimes record or stream myself playing CTFs and I first thought I couldn't do that with starfighter... But I can do it as long as I label it properly and this would not be frowned upon?

I understand that you cannot stop people from leaking and spoiling challenges. But I definitely want to be obedient with your vision.

Really looking forward to this! Thank you for your work

I signed up for MicroCorruption a while ago, but never even did the first level until reading the posts about Starfighter here reminded me of it. And I'm hooked - I've done some reverse engineering and exploit work before for fun, and I'd forgotten how much fun it is doing crackme type challenges.

I'm really looking forward to the Jailbreak arc of Starfighter, and also trying my hand at the stockmarket one (despite my knowledge of markets coming exclusively from the summary in your team's blog posts...). Best of luck with your launch!

Hope you manage to sort out the problems.

I made an account and couldn't find anything other than the API documentation.

With respect, the rule is well-defined: it's a walled garden, we're the gardeners, and we will prune ruthlessly. You may not like that rule, but that's our price of admission.

Our rationale for it is simple: we don't want to spend our time being disciplinarians arguing with rules lawyers. I've spent most of my life on Internet message boards. I know how that conversation goes: "You didn't explicitly say that `festering pustule of a fascist` was an insult, so I am innocent of `harassing behavior.` Also, for behavior to rise to the level of harassment..." "I consider running a dictionary attack against someone else's password and then resetting it to something random to be valuable security research! How was I supposed to know that was out of bounds!?" etc, etc

It's not clear to me whether or not it's 'fun' to craftily infer your internal network topology, for instance.

You're always clear to ask. That one's Fun. Probing AWS' infrastructure to attempt to reconfigure that network topology, on the other hand, un-Fun -- it will get the game shut down for everyone.

Your game has a global audience, so you have to assume that linguistic/cultural/whatever norms aren't shared by all your players.

I am aware that we have norms which are not shared by all our players. We're going to enforce them regardless.

Please make the text stand out more?

Noted, I will see what I can do.
