Massachusetts, USACould you change my name to Vark?
It shouldn't be taken but if it happens to be taken, then could you capitalize my name to ILoveVark instead?
Thanks.
I was looking into running this game and I too bought from that same seller and lap glitch isnt working for me. Almost positive I have black edition. If you could get me a rip of standard 1.2, PojeBunny, you would be a real life saver.
@Mastahbobby (and future voters) Don't vote for me please. I'm on my way out of LM and want to see mods that will actually put the time into maintaining the leaderboards. Obviously if I removed my own mod I don't want or expect people to give me mod back.
Super:
JaredsGiantz - Been around for a long time. Still active. Keeps current on what runners are active. Extensive knowledge of the game and the game's history
HDlaxbm - Same reason as above.
GC4ever4001 - Already said enough about why he should be mod.
Reg:
Skooz - He's a mini GC
Sirnimbus - Never met anyone more fair than Nimbus. Shares good thoughts, hears thoughts, probably the most active community member even if he doesn't run the most. He breaths LM.
If you want something ridiculously cheap you can get an easycap or a diamond dvc5000. They both suck but what do you expect? theyre like $30.
My guess: That spawn point works differently from regular chests. When you have an opened chest with a resting key, it will only pop out upon entering the room and there is no despawn from going 1 room out, 1 room in. With Van Gore, it works differently. Obviously it is spawning a key every time you enter the hallway because you are following the adjacent room rule. It also seems like it is removing all keys every time you leave Van Gore's room because it had no key when you went 1 room out and then back in. So you left the room which despawaned it (0 keys in room). Then you walked into the hallway and added a key to the room 4 times (4 keys in room). And because you never triggered the "exiting of Van Gore's room" it maintained 4 keys in the room.
Might as well just not play glitched anymore then if you want WR :p
I know you have just as much say as anyone else, Boohead. I have to disagree with your statement that we had a fair compromise. The "compromise" was done inside the Skype group which had many on the side of what happened and many that did not want USB times to be left were excluded from the Skype discussion. When I wanted to show that there were more people that were not in favor of keeping times on the boards I was shamed for adding people to the discussion. I personally believe that this thread is the only real discussion we have had about what to do with the already submitted USB times.
Linkus always ran on USB loader for glitched. I remember him even telling me something along the lines of "I only use USB on glitched because its almost impossible to get WR without it" (because Veman used USB).
Back in my day we used a google docs spreadsheet and we all got along. Trust me, this isn't getting along ;)
I have said this multiple times outside of the forum and I think it is worth noting in here as well. Both sides have fair arguments because it really just depends on whether or not you feel that quitting the game and having a sort of "outside the actual gameplay" thing is considered OK. If you feel it is not OK to be able to leave the file and go back in then S&Q is not OK (or you just rather have the rule not change). If you feel that RTA should be the way to go then that makes S&Q OK. Everyone's argument of "It does not break the game so S&Q should be unbanned" is not a strong argument. We all know that the developers put in a QUIT option into the game with the intent that people would quit the game and then later on re-enter the file. Its just a matter of opinion on RTA vs 1 game session RTA really.
Proposal: Would anyone be interested in creating another column in the leaderboard that did not alter what place you were in but did inform people who used s&q or not? If you need an example of what it would look like, you can visit speedrun.com/bk and notice that it tells whether or not a player used the FFM glitch but it does not alter the rankings in any way and it avoids creating another category.
Edit: Even I have problems with my own proposal but I wanted to put it out there anyway. I think it is something to consider.
Some people wanted me to make a post here and I'm bored so I thought I'd share some quick thoughts on the subject. Though I'd rather it be left alone I don't care about the result because at the moment I am content with playing without S&Q regardless since that is the way I enjoy to play the game (excluding max% and low% because they were S&Q legal categories before I ran them) whether or not everyone else plays with S&Q. Just want to help people out with understanding a couple things.
Banning S&Q was not just to prevent save warp. If what Veman has told me is accurate, It originated from SDA rules which though are irrelevant, some communities choose to maintain the rule that exiting a file segments the run while others throw away the rule. LM has kept that rule. To A2Rhombus, your run should not have been on the leaderboard. A while back I do remember some mods allowing the run anyway because new runners die a lot on English HM. I personally was not for that idea because, well, it did break the rule. (Note: For "lower ranked times" I never checked for deaths. I just checked to make sure their time seemed legit enough so I wouldn't doubt that I may have fed into verifying some S&Q runs.)
So there is the background on why it is banned. Not because we didn't want people to save warp. To my knowledge nobody thought of Weston save warping until I was trying to optimize low% in late 2013 because I was thinking of the uses of save warp since it was the only category at the time that had legalized S&Q. S&Q was banned long before me and was most likely never legal for main categories.
On the side of unbanning save warp, to bring up another point that nobody mentioned, it is a bit strange that low% is technically faster than any% from an optimal standpoint because low% has less money counting frames and require the same in-game minimum AND you are allowed to S&Q in low% but not in any%.
PAL is distributed to Australia and Europe. There is not much need to include a Japanese language option of the game to people within those countries.
I disagree Bobby. I think that Any% PAL NM times should be allowed on the Any% if people desire it. The Any% category is the main leaderboard people view and I think it is unfair to exclude people from being on that leaderboard for playing the European version. It has no advantage anyway. It's only a loss for someone to run on PAL.
I'm just convinced you're trolling. And the fastest way to get A rank is to get all the boos anyway so you obviously don't know enough about the game to change even the name of a category.
