Hello all,

After talking it over with the other mods/runners in the community, we have come to a consensus that the Japanese version of Pac-Man World 2 is too different from the English version to be considered the same category/run.

The main/misc categories will be split into JP and USA/PAL versions, and ILs will continue as they were before (Where there are differences between japanese and english, the ILs will be seperated).

Thanks,

Ruse and the other mods

Is that viable for this game? Assuming it would save loads of time on text, but you'd have to memorize text boxes to laugh on for dolphin. Anywhere else that could be problematic?

Unfortunately, PMW2's increasing popularity also causes an increase in peoples desire to cheat or submit false runs. The current system (allowing times above 50:00 without video) is incredibly lenient, and I think that while this system was fine back when it was just a google doc that C13 and I ran 4 years ago, in the current speedrunning world with easy to use capture cards, webcams, streaming/recording services, etc. there really isn't any reason that this should still be in place.

Since this is a speedrunning community and not a dictatorship (depending on who you ask) I think this should be open for public debate and put to a vote to see what the community in general feels is best for this leaderboard.

Pros: Increased legitimacy for the leaderboard. (If a time is on here, it means more than just typing something into sr.c without any verification) MUCH lower chance of cheated runs appearing. Better for people checking out the game to have videos of many skill levels instead of only elite times. (for learning easier strats and stuff, its what I did for OoT)

Cons: Current times without a video would have to be removed.

I plan on leaving this open for a week and then tallying up the votes to see what the community in general feels is best.

If you support making all times require a video, post "rules should be changed" If you support keeping the current system, post "keep current system"

If you change your mind for whatever reason, just edit your post. I won't tally them until a week from now, so there shouldn't be any issues with that.

Please ONLY POST if you actually run the game.

EDIT: A misunderstanding has arisen for whatever reason, if the rules change dylans time would be removed as well.

I just feel like this would be useful, as I keep up with a lot of speedgames, and checking each page individually to see if there is change is a bit of a hassle. I'm not saying this is ultra important, I'm just saying it would be a nice feature to maybe have a "followed games" list on the front page instead, or at least be able to blacklist the million super meat boy times I'm not interested in.

So is that just win one of every round?
