MDL's 2025 Challenge FAQ and Discussion

 ColourMePurple:

India also has plenty of databases like on imdb, wikipedia, etc. It would be better to add countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, whose titles aren't as well known perhaps.

I agree with the other countries but IMDB is not exclusive to Asian shows like MDL is. Wikipedia is an online encyclopaedia so can hardly be compared to MDL. I just think a site like MDL should include all/or at least the most common Asian countries and not just a selection of them. 

Hi, for the prompt "Occupational Traveler: Main or supporting character is a…" if a character was one but quit/got fired would it still count?

 Shiro:

I think I got lost here, but if the vischan is moving and someone is looking out it counts. 

As for spys secret agents,  historical context works too. 

As for hide and seek are they playing and somone is looking the other hiding go for it. 

Appreciate your response, 😁

Sorry for adding more work and asking so many questions, but does a person (in the modern era) strictly have to work as a spy/secret agent? Can they be spying or be a secret agent for their personal agenda/belief system?

I watched the movie  called Wall To Wall, and there is a tenant who is secretly investigating the landlord for corruption. They are also playing a sort of double agent pretending to be on the side of the other tenants but actually creating a lot of havoc and turning tenants against each other and blaming a scapegoat for their actions. To add to this, they are literally spying on not only the other tenants but also the landlord by hacking into their intercom cameras or installing cameras into their homes after breaking and entering.

Would this qualify?

We arn't really stricked, had it been in an occupation block I would have said no but it is in the hidden block here the most important part is the hidden so yes it qualifies

[Asking again since it got lost among the other questions before]

1) For Inauguration - 

       a) Can an event for a new product launch be considered as Inauguration? 

       b)  Or when a new CEO or some such is brought into the company and there is an event for it or a grand announcement?

2) For Burying something in the ground - Does the FL planting a seed in the soil to grow a life-saving plant to revive the ML count? She actually digs a small hole in the soil and puts the seed inside.

3) For Traditional Food - Can we include Beverages in this category? For example, in a recent drama, the FL is shown drinking Ginger tea, which has a long history in Asian culture.

1. I would say yes for b, a would be a streck 

2. Yes - not really how this was intendent but technically it is barrier under ground 

3. Sure
