Gaming the community?
Would this go against the TOU?
Scenario:
I make a "Super Mario Galaxy" game and post it.
The picture from the outer link (when you save it) is a screenshot of SMG.
The game says "Rendering 3D Graphics" and loads for 400 seconds.
Then, after that, it's a blank screen.
There are 196 sprites and 6023 scripts.
Most of them are black dots with 100 scripts of "when flag clicked, hide".
People believe it's a good game and love it, even though they can't play it.
Would this go against the TOU?
BTW, I don't plan doing this.

I've done one of those before! I think they're kinda cool. It means that you can imagine your own game, instead of playing someone else's 
Put this in your siggy if you miss The_Dancing_Donut!

So, if I flag it will it be removed?

Um... This is a project with wasted scripts, a long loading time, nothing, that pretends to be the best game ever... you made one?
You think people trusting that you made a cool game from "hide" scripts is cool?

Yeah, it seems to be just a prank. No one would like it, but I doubt it would break the TOU. I seem to remember FMT had a project like this on the front page...
