kh_europe - Profile (original) (raw)

on 16 February 2006 (#9528534)

Welcome to kh_europe. This is a private community for European-based fans of Kingdom Hearts to share spoiler-free fanfics, theories and the like without the risk of being spoiled for the upcoming sequel. If you find yourself dreading March 28th because of the inevitable orgy of squeeing and spoilery information that will descend upon your friendslist, while you're stuck waiting for it to eventually grace European stores, this is probably the place for you.

The community holds a sort of zero-tolerance approach to spoilers. I've met people who've been trying to avoid any information released since about Tokyo Game Show 2004. We're not quite that strict, but in order for everyone to enjoy Kingdom Hearts 2 knowing as little about its plot and characters as they want, we've got a few rules. If you want to discuss spoilers, you've got pretty much the rest of the online KH2 community to do it in.

1. People will be approved at the owner's discretion, although it's not a difficult process to get confirmed. We're a spoiler-free community and do not allow anyone who will have KH2 prior to its UK/EU release to join. This includes importers, sorry. Console yourself with the fact you're playing freakin' Kingdom Hearts 2.

2. For the purposes of this community, a 'spoiler' is defined as any plot information that wasn't common knowledge before December 2005. Topics that're especially forbidden include the identity of Organization members #1 and #13, the nature of Cloud's role in the game, the relationship (if any) between DiZ, Ansem and the Organization, and so on. The community's founder will especially disapprove of spoilers relating to Axel's backstory. (Just for clarification purposes, this community doesn't consider the Blond Haired Kid's name to be a spoiler. Information about his backstory, true identity or relationship to Sora and/or the Keyblade, however, will not be looked kindly upon.) Basically, if in doubt, don't post it.

3. This applies to icons, too. Images from anything released in December (including trailers that preceded the actual launch, which means basically any trailers where the backing music is some form of the 'Passion' theme) may contain information that other users might not want to know about. Images from the game that weren't released as part of the pre-launch publicity (i.e. trailers and magazines) will be exceptionally poorly regarded, especially if it's an image from the end sequence. Yes, we know it's very good. We'd prefer to keep it a surprise.

4. Finally, have fun. The primary purpose of this community is to have fun discussing the two original games and anticipating KH2 in a spoiler-free environment, so if that sounds fun, come on in and make yourself at home.

5. Oh, one more thing. This community's called KH_Europe, but we appreciate that Europe isn't the only place that might potentially have a long wait ahead of them until KH2 is released. Australians, for example, are free to join and add a bit of culture to the place. However, we'd like to ask that if it's released elsewhere before it comes out in Europe, those who'll have access to it keep plot information to themselves.

Thanks! Hope to see you soon.
