Hey!

I look sometimes here in the Forums and want to say a few things:

1. We are not inactive. I look every 2 days in the Speedrun requests and add/reject runs. We get really much runs (the past 2 days there was 32 new requests). I edit all of them because most people dont put the milliseconds in their runs or set 1 hour instead of 1 minute. Atm we are at 1200 runs.

2. Some runs have delay to get accepted. Sometimes if players want a top3 time and dont have any evidence we DONT ADD them. For a Top3 time you need a clear fullscreen screenshot or a moderator of speedrun.com in your game. We had players who tried to hack their times and dont want it happen again. ALSO sometimes we arent sure if we should trust a run (legit or not). Then we discuss about the runs before adding or removing. As example if a player have really bad times on every map and is Rabbit rank, but try to get a world record on a old map like Sonic. We dont think this is legit. (and yes this happend).

3. We have atm no problems with the runs and I dont think we need more moderators. I will discuss with the other mods if we need more or accept people who want to be moderators.

4. I look sometimes here in the forums so feel free to comment or post stuff here. It could have some delay but you will get answers. We are all more active on the Hive Forums so better message there if its an important question: https://forum.hivemc.com/forums/deathrun.119/

Sond like an intresting fun idea

Hey!

I am currently try to speedrun Minecraft in a new way, I try to get all blocks wich exist in minecraft, well its not ALL blocks. Some blocks arent possible to get like bedrock and blocks arent in the list wich you can just get from Dungeons like mossy cobblestone and prismarine stuff. This category need a 1.8 and a 1.9+ Leaderboard. (I also think about an Overworld category and an all dimension category) Here is the list of all Blocks you need in this category (1.8): Stone Granite Polished Granite Diorite Polished Diorite Andesite Polished Andesite Grass Block Dirt Coarse Dirt Podzol Cobblestone All Typed of wood planks All types of wood logs Sand Red Sand Gravel All Ores (Gold, Iron, Emerald, Coal, Diamond, Lapis, Redstone) Glass All Ore Blocks (Goldblock...) Sandstone Chiseled Sandstone Smooth Sandstone All Wool Colors Bricks Bookshelf Obsidian Ice Snow Clay Netherrack Soulsand Glowstone All Glass Colors Stonebricks Chiseled Stonebricks Myzelium Netherbrick Endstone Nether Quartz Block of Quartz Chiseled Quartz Block Quartz Pillar All Clay Colors Packed Ice Red Sandstone Red Chiseled Sandstone Red Smooth SandstoneI

just took the blocks from building Blocks section in creative inventory. I think thats enough. Before I try to get a good time and submit it I want ask if its possible to add this?

To finish the run you have to put all items in a chest/have it in inventory.

Wich games you like?:)

Well, then we have a diffrent intention in speedrunning. Maybe because (how you probably already saw) I do speedruns in Minecraft (specially a gamemode called DeathRun) but in MC speedruns its about to find the best seed for the diffrent categories and use it. Same count for DR, there is a death (another random player (its an online game)) he try to stop you with traps and you try to finish the parkour. There are speedruns for it on speedrun.com! In minecraft Vanilla Seedless speedrun you have to exactly know what materials you need to have no problems to finish and refresh so often till you get a good map for it. (Sometimes people have the 200. world for it).

If you look at minecraft and how much player speedrunned it (much also just on youtube not submitted) it have a huge fanbase and also is on AGDQ.

With good seted rules, randomizer Speedruns could be a good speedrun competitive game. Also not everything should be randomized like the attacks pokemon learn to AVOID ultra op mons.

The seed-problem you and PSR have isnt a rule wich is written somewhere for generally speedruns. Its just the fact that you dont like this idea what doesent make it to a bad idea. It takes much time to plan a whole game with no examples. In normal speedruns you can simply watch the speedrun of the best time and try to make it better with the same rounte and in randomizers there are over 100 routes wich make a speedrun way more intresting.

Edit: oh and the argument Pokemon is not Minecraft do not count ok? :D

Thank you for clearing up! Helped me alot.^^ I competely understand the arguments but still disagree with not adding a LB. You dont need ONE specific pokemon as starter. You can try to catch quick a grass and a water type and you shouldnt get big problems. Maybe searching for a firestarter next or a fly type to fly, there are much ways and not one only way the perfect rom.

Hey! I looked around in the web for speedruns of Pokemon randomizer but didnt really found something. I just found a few requests for AGDQ but I understand that the idea of playing a randomizer isnt a good idea for awesome games done quick. However I do just for fun speedruns of Pokemon randomizer with a few own seted rules (for config of the randomizer). Its emerald randomizer btw. I just want ask if its possible to open a new category for randomizer in the diffrent games? A randomizer speedrun is a bit like a normal speedrun. You need much knowledge about the game and deal quick with difficult sytuations! Also planning is a big point. As example you have to quick find a pokemon with a not-normal attack for ghost pokemon or a fly/fire type for wonderguard pkm. Also its good to catch quick at the beginning a good variation of pokemon. Well a speedrun of a randomizer is really complex and I hope you think about my idea because if you do it right this game isnt that luck based.

(Its not an original game its a hack so maybe count as a completely new game?)
