This is my second time entering the contest and the first time since the very first RPG Superstar, and I'm honestly so excited that I keep checking the forums ten or twenty times a day in the vain hope that it'll be magically be the voting. But that's neither here nor there.
I've been wondering if the anonymity rule applied to things like Facebook and Twitter? I'm sorry if this was clarified elsewhere, and I haven't said anything or plan on saying anything on there was just really curious as to what the official ruling was and can't seem to find it.
My understanding from past discussions is "public" is defined as any place a judge could conceivably find it by a simple Google search. So, yes, Facebook and Twitter, as well as public messageboards and such, are considered public.
The judges have also stated they're not going to look up entries as a matter of course. But,why risk it? Especially since I know of one person, iirc, who was DQ'd because of public exposure on a non-Paizo site.
That is what I figured it was, I just wanted to make sure my current level of paranoia was justified.
Thanks!
