That's fair. But this type of event was for the Forums. Forums are linked to in-game. So with that aspect, everything was in-fact related to in game!! *X-Files music*
But on a serious note. This was just something outside of the "in-game" stuff. We don't usually do things like this, so it was nice to mix things up a bit. Definitely not for everyone, but I had a lot of fun doing it, and others had a lot of fun(and pain) hunting the codes down.
It also helped people look around on the forums in obscure places, and discover things they may have not known about otherwise.
EDIT:
Also, I've learned on NTG from the Challenge scrolls that if I were to really make every clue/code some in-game name or item. People would literally just 'brute force' them by going through every tier, unique, godlike, npc, etc, instead of solving the clue themselves. This got some people's brains going(since there's not the 'easy way out' of just spamming in-game related stuff), trying to solve the clues. Which is always good.
