MGC runs will get rejected if a route is found for the exact same group of variables with fewer gravity changes. This thread will keep a list of those old/archived/rejected runs.

It'd be super neat if, when submitting a run with a video, you could also put in what time in the video your timer started at, and then anyone viewing the board could select multiple runs and get a viewsync link made up to watch the runs race-style. See how close they all were or whatnot, i.e. https://viewsync.net/watch?v=zxuPMQD5Zdw&t=3.1&v=HEsfOwvpKmQ&t=0&v=mButm-65Ic0&t=0.19&v=4m9f9A7pOhk&t=2.7

The only downside is that they only support YouTube, so you can't have Twitch videos synced with YouTube ones.

I have this filter set up. Notice it only applies to the "120 Signs" category. However, when clicking on the Filters button on any page (including other categories where that filter doesn't apply) it still lists that filter.

This can be extremely annoying if there is a filter that applies to all categories except one or two, A because you have to create that same filter multiple times and B, because then you get all the filters listed for each of those individual categories even if they are technically the "same" filter like I have a Warp filter for both 120 Signs and Any% All Guns but have to set them up as a separate filters because Warp doesn't apply to some other categories.

Instead of a dropdown to select which category (singular) any particular filter applies to, it should have tickboxes for all your current categories and sub-categories so you can have the same filter on multiple but not all categories without it listing the "same" filter in the filters list for other categories.

Ideally, you would be able to have filters set for specific sub-categories as well. For example, if you can't press Esc to go back to the menu in a specific category, then there is no need to have a filter for a glitch that uses hitting Esc and going to the menu; however, that filter would apply to all the other sub-categories.

Edit: Also as a bit of an aside... Why isn't "Windows" listed? It's just PC/Mac/Linux, which IMO always sounds ridiculous since Mac and Linux are also PCs. I really wish we could just manually type in the platforms. That way we could even have different versions of PC OSs listed.

I come from a Nitronic Rush background (http://www.speedrun.com/nrush), where we have a map "Gladiator" based on the Obstacle Course map in Rush 2049. In our runs of Gladiator, we're able to bypass the loop to save time (1st uses a slightly faster route along the outside of the map, this is 2nd and inbounds), but I don't see any 2049 runs doing this.

I was just wondering why it isn't done in this game? Does 2049 not have as much freedom of movement or control over the vehicle in order to let you make your way into the small gap, or is there some other reason?

Edit: Even this tas doesn't skip the loop.

It would be really helpful for newer runners of the game to have a little "?" or "what is this?" to mouseover on the run submission page and figure out what that variable means (we could type a short description for each variable in the game settings). It would especially be helpful if you're using acronyms for the variables.

For example, if one category is "no esc" where you aren't allowed to hit the Esc button, then a variable/filter for a glitch that requires hitting Esc isn't a necessary variable on that category. As it is right now, you can only set a variable for all categories or only one, but you can't set it to "all except one" (or "all except these few") unless you list the same variable x amount of times and set them all to each different individual category, which just becomes a mess in the game settings page if you're listing the same variable over and over.

• Have an option to allow anyone to submit a guide, same as submitting a run, and require verification before it is actually posted as a guide.
• Allow super mods to edit the guide author name (possibly to even list the author as a non speedrun.com member, or list multiple authors)
• Allow mods to manually reorder the list of guides
• Allow other users to filter/search the guides, possibly have a tags system so guides could be tagged with specific categories for that game
• Ability to preview a guide before posting, or have a hidden "work-in-progress" guides section for only the mods

Love the guides system, just seems a bit basic right now, but it is nice to get that information out there rather than always having to find someone who runs the game to teach each new runner everything.

Similar to Steam's community hub where they have a Discussions section for forums (which is already on this site for individual games), and a separate Announcements section for devs to post important event information. It would be really nice if game mods could post to an Announcements section, to get information out to all the runners of that game easily (maybe a new skip was found, or the game is going to featured be in a marathon, etc.) - Now I know the current forum system can be used for this type of thing, but with the upcoming notification update, Announcements could be followed/subscribed to by the runners (separate from subscribing to forums), so they can get notification of new "important events" pertaining to that game. If someone subscribes to the whole forums for a specific game, then they'd be notified of posts about more trivial things like someone asking how to set up for a skip instead of just the important events. Having an Announcements section could help separate out the type of content runners are being notified of when talking about each individual game.

Using a game I run as an example: http://www.speedrun.com/Antichamber

Typically there will be an overall "Any%" for most games, as well as other alternate "any% some restriction" categories. These don't really work as variables because variables can be left blank (which would also be neat, a tickbox to make a certain variable required) and if you're running a different category, you'd want it to show up on a separate list.

For Antichamber, there's the overall Any% which is typical, and there's also Any% No Esc, Any% All Guns, and Any% Jumpless which should all be sub-categories of the main Any%. Any times submitted to these three categories should have their time included on the main Any% list as well, if it is the fastest time they've gotten out of all the Any% categories.
