| (4.5)| GAMES OF THRONES "LOST TREASURE" CURRENTLY INACTIVE FORUM REVIEW This is a review for "15 for 15 Contest --- Closed" from House Targaryen for "Game of Thrones"   The views and opinions on this review are mainly the things discovered by the reader and therefore, do not reflect necessarily to the group, activity and/or event being affiliated herein. This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. THE LOST TREASURE/CURRENTLY INACTIVE FORUM 
 WHAT I LIKEDI liked the idea of using a short amount of time to create a story. Writing shorts is an art, from 500 words to 2k words. A prompt like this would develop the following skills in writers: how to use a good economy of words in a short period of time to communicate a story.  RULESThe rules were listed in a dropnote link, which I thought was a good idea as it didn't clutter up the Introduction. However, when I clicked on the dropnote, I discovered there was a lot of rules, which led to the complexity of the contest. For me, when something appears too complex, I tend to shy away from it. JUDGESThe guest judges were clearly listed., i.e., "theckenast" and drboris  AWARDSI saw there were awards and grand prize winners listed in the body of the forum, but nothing in the Introduction. I would also posthumously suggest to create a separate BITEM that archived previous awards winners and have it linked in the Introduction. I like having a feature as this because it displays the history of the contest. DONATIONSThere is a place to list donations and donors. ENGAGINGThe lost treasure had many contestants which are listed in the introduction and looked very active. VARIETYVariety would come in the way of the pictures offered on a daily basis. MECHANICSI did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to vary the colors and font to make it easier on the eyes. I did like the graphic in the Introduction as it helped to set a mood/tone for the forum/contest. PARTING THOUGHTSThis Lost Treasure was last active 12 years ago! I think the premise of the Forum /Contest is one that is a tad complex and if carried over/re-opened, I might suggest trying to simplify it a little. POTENTIALThis is a lost treasure that if I found it on a deserted island, I'd put it in my back pocket and would tinker with it at the evening campfire before I went to bed.
