For example bobeep has 16 blocks. The rules should read like time starts when you pick a challenge time ends on congrats screen of the 16th block whatever order you choose to do it in.
Rules now says:
"Time starts when you choose the 1st challenge of the character's tower."
So is mandatory to start from 1st challenge.
When i started to do runs, admins rejected one of my first speedrun because i didn't do the challenges in order. Now we can do in any order without anyone having specified it?
For me, new runs must be rejected, otherwise we would all be forced to redo the speedrun according to the new rules...
So, in your opinion, we are all idiots and only you are a genius because you have thinked an "alternative" way to beat records? ok, then you are really smart!
Congratulation for your records, I wish you to beat them all!
I agree with AQLGamers.
It's part of the fun that some of the hardest challenges are at the end of a run.
New runs must be rejected as the rules were clear.
"Time starts when you choose the 1st challenge of the character's tower."
It is clear that it is the first challenge available.
The game is as it is, slinky may have one of the hardest challenge early, but most of the characters don't.
Here is a question about two different way to do a speedrun. I personnaly prefer the one wich tend to reward perseverance.
Anyway, preferences does not matter here. Rules does.
Choose means select in this case. Clearly, it was interpreted the same way by all the players but you. If playing with words is your way to do it, suit yourself.
There is no such thing as "very nature of speedrunning" Each community choose for itself. The only thing you brought here is remove the difficulty of having a good run wich could be ruined because of a tricky challenge at the end. In your way to do it, perseverance does not exist anymore.
Could be or could be not valid according to the rules, depend on the interpretation. Both way, it's a shame of not having asked the community first, and removed the fun of the run. Now Tower runs would not be fun to watch, as the crucial moment would be at the very beginning. Yay...
Make no mistake about it : i love when WR are beaten. I love when mine are. It means the community is active, and the game i love is still alive. But, we should all play by the same rules. And we did so far. Problem is that the rules were not so clear as it was obviously interpreted many ways.
Call a vote on this would be great.
Dude.. 10 et 6.5 hours are nothing...
Let's agree that we desagree.
Still, if the mod see this, can we call a vote please?
Woah sorry guy's didn't mean to start a war i just wanted it more clear that people did have to run a tower in order ie bobeep run has been sub 50 going from block 1 to 16 i just think i would of saved some time for people if it said hey you can run in whatever order aslong as you do the tower. I did not mean to start a war over wr rules and what not, I'm ok with all runs staying just an update to the rules. That's all i have to add. Firestarters runs arn't perfect so im happy with them staying there a good challenge.
No problem dude. Rules are unclear but we have to decide wich way we want it to be :) No war here
I'll try to sort this out with other mods by tomorrow hopefully.
I mean even lets say if there was to be 2 cats, in order runs and random block tower runs. Firestarter and AQL would both get wrs back Firestarter atm has it swept at choice right now, But in a order run i think Firestarter and AQL would go back and forth in a 1 to x run cat. That's my last bit in this I also am focusing on time trail records for time being until this is decided on.
