All I see here is profanity and bad mouthing. Do you have any proof of anything you're claiming here?

TalicZealot - Why not talk to SakuraFreak, they're active and they can make you a super mod. This thread is meant to be used in the event that they're inactive, or otherwise being unreasonable.

Super Mods of the Monkey Ball series can also make the game page, and may skip over the wait time for requesting a game.

All game requests are currently handled manually, and yes it's possible for the queue to get backlogged, especially with 300+ requests per month - http://www.speedrun.com/statistics

Until there is a base set of rules for mods to go off for accepting new games, Kirkq handles them all. Hold tight, they may just be busy with life at the moment.

I would certainly ask about it for whichever game you're thinking about, and you should definitely let the rest of the runners know about such a tool, but I wouldn't say so. It takes a bit of the R out of the RNG is all.

Popular games can be submitted a couple of weeks early too, to allow setup time.

@casualspeedrun - You've been on the site one month, you have one visible run (with your stats saying 4 so 3 potentially rejected runs), AND the game has 8 mods, 7 of which have been active less than a day ago. Who in their right mind would let you be mod?

[quote]Please keep in mind that using this thread is a last resort, in case the current moderators are not responding or refusing your help without justification. You should always start by asking the Super mods of a game/series as they are also able to add mods. Best way to contact game mods is probably through Twitter for now. Also try the game forums, many users get notifications when threads are created for games they follow. [/quote]

Even then, there's the option of using variables to show Digital/Physical if it was needed anyway.

What methods have you tried to get in contact with the mods? Whilst TheRuseMan seems to have gone inactive on all media platforms, Plyd823 was active on Twitch 12 hours ago and may be able to verify your run.

Glitches are fine, they're part of speedrunning, finding unintended ways to do things, usually clever uses of game mechanics. It's what skips in runs are in the end.

The easiest way to figure this out would be to average out the length of several cutscenes on different languages and see which one has the shortest average, and the smallest variance.

(If a language was 5 seconds shorter on average over say 4 cutscenes, but had one that was 20 seconds longer, you'd want to compare extra cutscenes with the other 1/2 lowest)

Okay let's go through this one by one.

  1. As pointed out you have to complete the run in one go, the timer does not stop if you leave the game (food etc) however what I suggest you do, and is done for longer runs such as GTA:SA 100% is take breaks during longer cutscenes, and eat something easy such as sandwiches (something you can hold in 1 hand) - For routing purposes I would say complete part of the game, and use a cutscene early for a break, and then save some of the later levels for near the end of the run and use a cutscene from there as another break, and do some overworld stuff in between.

  2. Crashing has been majorly reduced on the PC version, and crashes or softlocks are a problem in all versions of the game. If crashes/softlocks end up being a major problem for runs, then we can figure a way to take them out of the overall timing of the run,

  3. A timer is not needed, however it can be useful to have your own timer handy, just to see where you're up to. Having well named and well placed splits can also be handy as notes for your runs and serve as reminders for what's coming up.

  4. Maybe run the game any% just a couple of times to make sure you have a feel for the game and have the controls down well, and it may help you figuring the routing out for 100%, but other than that you shouldn't need to do any speedrunning. Just make sure you're prepared and able to put aside however long you need to for the run.

  5. Notes may be handy, especially for practicing the runs. It'll also probably be a good idea to find your saves folder and make a sub-folder for it with saves at various points in the game. You can safely rename the save files to give you a description, as long as you change the name back when placing it in the main folder.

  1. Any% and 100% will likely only compare in the first few levels, as there may be things you can get in later levels for 100% that you'd skip out on for any%, especially red bricks which you'll want to get early, especially the stud multipliers

  2. Cheat codes are not allowed during any% or 100% runs as they are exactly that, cheats, to circumvent the usual methods of getting things. Cheat codes are in a lot of games, doesn't meant they should be used or allowed. What do you think a game would be like if you were allowed to use invincibility the entire way through the game? (Side note for Quadruplex - It's always a good idea to check if there are no specifics on certain things, rather than just assuming it's allowed.)

  3. Yes, they changed it so you have to watch the cutscenes if it's the first time on a save, even if you have a completed save file. Something to test out, something we do for certain cutscenes in LotR, is quitting and reloading to see if it skips the cutscenes. Might be useful for the longer ones. For LotR it works for the cutscenes after levels end, but may work for the cutscenes with loading screens before them.

  4. I think they may have removed some super bricks, and reduced the cost for some super builds (First example I can see of this is the temple bridge, WiiU version costing 50,000 and the other versions costing 30,000) So you may have less hunting to do for a 100% route,

No idea, no, and no idea. You'd have to go straight to the source to find out that I'm afraid. I don't think the WR is still yet optimized so routing, and a few easier skips may be all that's needed for it at the moment, and so hard tricks like the one you mentioned aren't needed, nor wanted for runs.

I still don't know why bit cups are a thing.

Lets take up screen space that could be showing the actual content and fill it up with useless crap. ¤slow clap¤

I believe they may be asking, or part of it is asking, if it's possible to close the timer and then open it later, and start at the time they left it at. Sort of like a segmented run thing.

EnglandKimmie8 years ago

Yes, and I'm usually on every 2 to 3 hours, but I only check the forums during most of those times. Just because we're online doesn't mean we have to go through everything. Your last submission may have been lucky. We all have lives, mods are all volunteers, and sometimes we don't have the time to do everything.

How do you know if you haven't tried. You're throwing accusations around you have no basis for.

If it's a new record with or without your timing method, why not resubmit it without your timing. That way if there's a problem with it not being verified you have a legitimate reason to come here with concerns.
