Ontario, CanadaNon supers have the same privileges aside from adding or removing mods.
Most likely due to inadequate information provided. You would need to submit a run that you have record of you doing the run, and a proper explanation and description of the game and what the speedruns are/could be like. Also there does not need to be a reason given for the rejection, if a reason is provided there is usually a specific reason as to why. But seeing as no reason was given tells me it was a poor effort for a submission in the first place.
You can always try and submit it again with a better recorded run, as well as better information about the game and the speedruns.
All players are required to be playing a new game/newly created character at the time of the run. And video proof of the others players is required from their perspectives.
It would be rather silly if no one else used new characters, and against the point of proofed runs if no one had verifiable video that they did the run properly, its also good practice and should be suggested that everyone have a recording of a run from their perspective.
If you have other questions or the likes you can join the Discord which is active in all forms of Monster Hunter Speedrunning.
@PiggyBow mod was on a month ago, have you tried contacting them at all?
I long while back I was working on some stuff possibly some new tech i was messing around with but never bothered to submit runs to the board since the rules were kinda jank.
@ZeldaCrasher 2 weeks is not really considered Inactive yet, You also have not run them game your self or do you have a pending run? In any likely hood it would probably be better if the current and sole runner on the board takes over if they are inactive. The fact that the current mod has no contacts at all is odd, but have you tried posting in the forums of the game? Moderators generally receive notifications if people post. Hopefully this gets resolved.
CoDWW2 Mod was last online 2 days ago, so it would be best to contact them first if possible before requesting here. As for the other mod for CoDIW contact them as well, they have not been on for some time. Hopefully the Site Mods can help you out.
Rules to when Time Stops have been changed for the following Categories, Along with some re-clarifications and wording adjustments that were long overdue.
Any% New Game+ True Ending.
Time no longer stops on the final save for Any% and NG+, Time no longer stops on Title/Main Screen for True Ending.
Instead they stop after you have confirmed your chosen name for the run file, In which the Cutscenes immediately start then followed by credits etc.
You will still need to show the Last Save for Any% and NG+, True Ending will still need to show up till the Title/Main Screen appears.
I have personally adjusted all RTA runs to accommodate for this change which means I have re-verified all the recent runs. If you have any concerns regarding these changes please let my self or Dale, best place to reach us or others is in the NieR Speedrun Discord: https://discord.gg/NU3M8sC
I do keep an eye on SRDC from time to time as always and my twitter so those are also options. <3 Stay Sexy ~ MASH
pretty sure pulling teeth is far worse then waiting or maybe contacting the mods directly if need be, or better yet offer help and work with them so its not an issue in the future and make things better for everyone. All depends of the people, and we are only human flawed and helpless to the mercy of ourselves and life its self.
I know thosecrazyguys still actively runs the game so if another mod is needed for sunset overdrive perhaps contact him.
You will need to check with the community boards for those games on what they accept as minimum requirements for such, generally if its watchable and meets the requirements set then there should be no issues, so just ask the mods of the board if there is no such listed minimum requirements or forms of acceptable standards listed.
@L-Roy , @Cyberdemon531 is active and has contacts use them if needed. If the run was submitted less then a a week or 2 ago give it some time to be reviewed. This thread is a last resort if mods are inactive past 3 weeks or longer.
TBH regardless of the original topic in regards to that run I would have rejected it for the annoying audio and the Overlay, to me it just looks like a bad quality submission so that would have been enough for me to ask them to resubmit with changes being made to mute the audio and cover/crop out the overlay.
Should be discussed int he games forums, also this topic was posted twice. Contact the people in charge of the game first off if need be as well, not public as such.
Content mods are doing what they are suppose to be doing which is quality control on submissions and games, not every game will get a board nor would deserve a board in most cases because. If they allowed every game submission that met the minimum requirements then we would have even more dead boards and games that are not really doing much or anything at all past that point as well as taking up space on the site which keep in mind is maintained by PAC and the Mods on their own time.
Now that being said in the future if there is maybe more interest and people that have gotten together for said game and at that point their is things going on for it outside SRDC then maybe you could resubmit it, keep in mind when making submissions many of the games that they look at they know nothing about so if there is not enough information provided or shown about the submission that would seem like there is potential for a board then they would most likely add it provided its not another generic style game that have been lately Visual Novels(Which to myself are not even games), Mobile Game(Which are just ludicrously over done and mind-numbing), Flash Game(Too many generic fan made games these days.) just to name a few kinds of games that will be under more scrutiny then normal.
Hopefully this is understandable.
As someone whos kinda outside on this I can understand and agree with the actions taken by the mods in regard to the submission when it comes to acceptance of runs the very end of the video put the nail in the coffin, and had I had someone submitted a run like that I would have told them to redo it with cleaner language or mute the audio. It just doesnt look like any effort was put into the run, so If the mods deemed it not suitable then thats that. do a better run and resubmit if it matters that much.
@hero_82 This was already addressed before hand and even more so in this recent thread post. https://www.speedrun.com/sotn/thread/istzr
Going forward with the next Marathon I will be ironing out more on the kinds of submissions that will be looking for, The biggest hurdle that I know that has been some what of the failure is not the event itself as its been very good, But the Name is where the issues are unless Myself and others involved with handling submissions revisit what we are looking for in which to better fit the name.
In the past events most of the games have been more of an "Action Spectacle" or Just "Action" Oriented games with lite mechanics that are common in most RPGs.
Could very well reboot the marathon and change the name as it was not a name That was hard chosen but a choice made at the first moment. If the name was to be changed what would be some suggestions based on the types of games we have had in the past?
If the name would remain, there would be allot more press towards actual "Action Role Playing Games", And for that it still seems a bit vague on its own but to put it simply;
"Action role-playing video games (abbreviated as Action RPG or ARPG) are a subgenre of role-playing video games. The games emphasize real-time combat (where the player has direct control over characters) instead of turn-based or menu-based combat. These games often use action game combat systems similar to hack and slash or shooter games.
Action role-playing games may also incorporate action-adventure games, which include a mission system and RPG mechanics, or multiplayer/online role-playing games (MORPGs) with real-time combat systems."
What are some thoughts towards ARPGME currently and what would you like to see from the next one?
Even if you have have not seen or been part of the past 2 marathons feel free to let us know your thoughts on the current name Action Role Playing Games Marathon Event aka ARPGME, and or the types of games you would be expecting to see in a marathon about ARPGs.
If you do think a reboot could be something to look at what are some suggestions to look at?
This Marathon has been from the start about the communities and runners involved regardless of its size, it would not be possible without those people in the first place.
Looking forward to the next one. ~ MASH <3
No matter what kind of Competition your looking at there will always be advantages and disadvantages. The major factor to look at is how can we minimize the variance in these and still let underdogs compete even if they may have a disadvantage. Plenty of people will put up with a disadvantage for the sake of comfort and accessibility, when we start excluding these things is when we run back into more problems. The only way to really make a divisions in a competition is if there is enough difference that would affect rules or possibly need to have them adjusted specifically for said division.
There is reasons for Platform Division but I disagree with it most cases solely if its down to performance cases unless it actually goes against the rules that work with the majority of other cases, or other case by case discrepancies.
I for one will almost always choose to play a game on console over PC even if its against others on PC if that were the case of a competition and it really comes down to preferences and comfort to me, If I wanted to sacrifice that then I could like anyone else to compete on a higher standard.
Keep in mind that speedrunning is a hobby and hobbies to cost time and money is most cases, Same with real competition.
If for instance Requiem comes and there is significant differences, not to be confused with advantages or disadvantages. Then there will be a reason to have separation for it much like how Saturn has its own thing.
