the detailed CA guide by Quiche is in effect an official guide to the system and contains rules in A. more readable way B. rules elaborations that do not appear on the submissions page.

Currently the only real way to find it is to see it pinned in the CA channel on discord or scroll really far down on the forum

I'm sure it'll decrease the send back rate some if it is easier to find by a first time CA submitter! It'll be really handy if it's linked right on the submission page and is always on the first page in the guide forum as even a lot of people in the discord apparently have never seen it.

I am aware it's being reworked for outdated info, perfectly fine to wait to sticky/link it until then, but once it's updated it should definitely be right there for someone new to the site to find

Major support!

Just had my CA sent back twice based on icon rules that were not posted on the CA rules by the submission box. Thankfully the CA discord chat alerted me to the in-depth rules thread that answered my questions, but I had to be told where to find them instead of having them readily available (was not even aware there were rules outside of what was posted on the CA submission area).

While I'm not devastated; it'll be approved eventually, it means that my CA has been in approval limbo for 5 days since the first rejection, and am unsure of how much longer it will take with the second. If I had known the established rules beforehand, I could've made it right the first time very easily. Having an immediate, obvious link to in-depth rules (the thread has picture examples even, whereas the CA rules are just blocks of text) would save a LOT of frustration for others in the future. :)

@Reanimagpie @Delirium The CA guide has been added to the Game Guides Index. We will sticky or link this once 1.1 area has been updated, which I plan to finish by the month's end. Thank you for your patience.

@/Quiche Thank you! Glad this got sorted :)

@Quiche Thank you so much! And double thanks to all the effort you've put into detailing the rules and explaining them in a way that's really easy to follow! :D
