The only people this objectively affects is people in the MKSC community, and they all trust the record i.e. have no problem with it. Saying that, of course it would be optimal with a video, however it is not the highest of concerns, especially with it being such a bother to record. I am honestly baffled as to why you would care so much over an issue like this, and I feel like it is more your issue than it is the community's.
Thank you very much. Even though it did take a while, I am still very grateful.
The rules state: "Timer Starts on first input after penguin loads in; Timer ends when the screen telling you how many coins you earned appears.
No Puffles for Coin Bonus. No Max Stamps for Coin Bonus. No using codes from Club Penguin merchandise."
He breaks two of these rules, the first being when timing strats, and the second being No Max Stamps for Coin Bonus.
Besides, his run is not even of the same game, and should actually be submitted to the Club Penguin Rewritten boards instead: https://www.speedrun.com/cpr
I just got a 1-jump 500 Coins run. I hope you aren't going to ask for proof, because my dog ate the recording. believe
If you are interested in running the game you can join the discord. What most people use to run is a private Club Penguin client, located on your computer, and can therefore not be shut down.
Here are my opinions on what should happen to the different categories. I will only be talking about the categories that are actually ran on the CPO leaderboards.
Pufflescape any%: This seems to be a good category, if we can find a way to actually run it that is not CPO.
Golden Puffle: I believe this is too arbitrary, and should at most only be on the Category Extensions board.
Smoothie Smash Death%: This category is very arbitrary, and not fun for a speedrun. Should not be carried over.
Puffle Roundup 100% low% fail%: These categories are just variations on the 500 Coins No Bonuses category, so I suggest we delete them as well.
Bits & Bolts Death%: Too arbitrary, and bad for a speedrun. Should not be carried over.
Bits & Bolts Level 5: A bit boring to speedrun, as it is just counting and luck. Maybe put on Category Extensions.
Hit the Target - 10 Points: Very arbitrary and it would just consist of spamming snowballs. Should not be carried over.
TL;DR: Delete Everything EXCEPT MAYBE Pufflescape any%
Good luck! nhaars a beast, so gonna be hard to beat him.
As of writing this two people have gotten 51 in this game. First Flaks, then Milength yesterday.
From looking at Milengths screenshot, I believe it is very clear that he has cheated the run. Here are the two screenshots side by side:
First off, all of the basketballs in the background are in the exact same positions, which is really suspicious, and looking at the font used for the name Milengths looks completely different from Flaks's.
I want to believe that people are not faking runs, and that the mods know best, so please if you have any evidence to prove otherwise I would be happy to see it.
If he is a cheater as I suspect, then I believe video proof should become a must, as screenshots are too easy to fake, and apparently can make it to the leaderboards.
A screenshot is really easy to fake. A video of at least a 48 would be nice, let alone a 51.
That's the nature of speedrunning the category. If you don't like it, then it's not for you.
Today I got an INSANE run in Club Penguin. I got both a sub-40 and a sub-39 in one go. The time was 38.18.
Only problem being that the coins earned at the end said 495 when I in actuality got 539. Here are some screenshots:

After I saw this I wondered if it had given me my 539 coins, or if it gave me the 495 coins. Turns out that it actually gave me 495 Coins!

I suppose I should get to why I'm posting this. I want to
-
Open up discussion over how to abuse this glitch. For example find a way to get the game to give you 500 coins even though you didn't earn it.
-
Discuss whether or not my run is still valid.
EDIT: I am going to sleep now, but I will be able to provide any information about the run and/or previous runs after school tomorrow.
It does look very suspicious. I don't want to jump to any hasty conclusions as it is an approved run (And I will respect the mods decision), but even then I would like an explanation as to how he moves his mouse so quickly and fills out the forms so quickly.
It also seems a bit suspicious that he fills out every form nearly instantly with the exeption of the 'confirm you are not a robot' where he takes his time. But who am I, right? Just a nobody.
When I download the .rar file it says it is 0kb, and I am not able to extract it to find the game.exe. I have downloaded the RPGMaker Runtime, and I have downloaded the files multiple times.
Is there a mirror anywhere? EDIT: By the way, congrats on the run, was extremely good!
