these are some big ones, but are all free and just about all of these can be played on either the web or with Flashpoint (but check leaderboard rules on where you can play the current versions of the game) or they're mobile.
I should add that if you do talk to the first board's moderator, they should by no means be obligated to add you, just because you weren't initially able to find the existing board (I realise it's hidden in 'unofficial' games, not to worry, but even so...) - to be honest I'm not sure if there's any site policy on what happens here because games are almost always checked carefully before being added to the site, can't recall this happening, but having one leaderboard is quite important ':D
Fully concur with Yummy Bacon that you should try and contact the first mod, merge the runs into one board, and then request the newer board is deleted.
Just head to a leaderboard you'd like to run/already have done a speedrun for, check out their rules, and submit a run, using the buttons. (this is in Spanish if you're using the Spanish site)
Although very few boards in general require external timing visible in the video, virtually none at all with in-game time or using in-game time, it'll always depend on the leaderboard specific rules. I won't assume to understand the rules of Escape Academy at a glance, but it does appear they need a timer for full-game runs, and use IGT for single-leel runs.
Ask a moderator, or in their server if they have one, if you're not sure about what a rule means or if something isn't clearly stated. Here however it looks pretty clear.
Minecraft leaderboards, their forums, and their Discord server are the places to look
Definitely for the most part a question of opinions but there's some real discussion about practicality too, so here are my takes:
-
(With the runs inside a longer video, edited with an intro or otherwise) I happen to be someone who occasionally puts an outro or other music on speedruns, usually for one specific game, because I would like to think I have a small YouTube audience who enjoy the videos a little beyond raw recordings of the correct snippet. That may or may not be reality; I do think runners could make an effort to include timestamps in their links (or description) if the run recording does contain multiple videos, because it can and does confuse new runners about the category (as illogical as that is).
-
(With Dropbox, Google Drive etc..) I only become opposed on boards I moderate to submissions from file sharing if the video cannot be viewed without a download, because it shouldn't be expected that moderators need to download evidence before reviewing it or that runners should need to download runs to improve their efforts. The other problem is that file-sharing, Google drive if it isn't that runner's personal singular account, Dropbox with shared link expiration dates, Apple seed for both of the above problems, Xbox video sharing because Microsoft have been finnicky with uploaded media, all mean that evidence can disappear from the boards sporadically - video sharing websites are tried and tested enough for the most part to safely store evidence on indefinitely. Therefore usually whilst I do verify runs with preview evidence I have sometimes messaged a runner, or added something to their run desc. to ask if they'd consider uploading them to an indefinite video sharing site.
Both of these responses are long and dwell in purely practical terms, I do however understand moderators getting annoyed with it because I've had countless instances where runners aren't especially interested in making the submission useful for others or easy to verify, but it's an indefinite problem, the payoff meaning that if we do tolerate reasonable sloppiness then it becomes easier for people to participate in the leaderboards. But as I've said I think that goes, quite far but, to a point, of practicality. I do understand that the leaderboards (at a basic level) just show verified information about the fastest times the gaming community have produced, any positive impacts that result from that are great but occasionally troublesome to manage like here haha.
Super long response whew, sorry about that.
No problem, happens quite a bit, I believe you just need to go to the support hub and make a new ticket under changing an existing game, and explain those changes. Although, the release date itself should be changeable under page settings, then the 'General' tab, but this might be different for prereleases, haven't moderated one for a long while.
I'm also unsure if it's possible to change the date to something more current than the date of existing runs, so that's worth considering, but again that should be possible to experiment with (for sure) after having it marked as a full release.
The missing components are a blow, but if it's not possible in the formatting version the site is using then could I ask that we please have a pinned post in The Site forum explaining what's no longer possible and that the current buttons cover the full extent of the formatting? That is, if the help pages aren't planned to include more info on the site; just following on from the ShadowDraft one, info and responses on there are no use anymore.
@Meta for community management and @starsmiley for community moderation, although these posts really should be interacted with by @Lawliepop or @Camcorder for passing on to site development for information they might have I guess, assuming such positions still exist.
Been a few days since I checked here ':(
If you want to submit a new game altogether you need to request it using the Support Hub under 'Add a new game to Speedrun'. Although, because your account needs to be a week old, you will have to wait for at least 5 more days, depending on when precisely you created your account, plus adding social links to your account.
If I had to hazard a guess at why Act said that, assuming he knows about the new(?) game already, the original Subway Surfers board was added in 2017 when site restrictions on adding new boards were quite relaxed, they then tightened considerably over the next few years, and in my opinion at least, nowadays they've relaxed a little again, but mobile games with little distinguishing themselves in terms of popularity or unique gameplay are still rejected quite frequently. If you do all of that you can still try requesting it but a request is not a promise that it'll be added.
Yeah exactly it's not as if the interface makes it worse, it just doesn't automatically place the old procedures (different backend or not). There may be other reasons why they can't adapt the site to read old posts but then it's a strange annoyance that they would bother switching to make the interface.
the change to having a user-interface version having also broken damn near every post using the old formatting is really poor, I haven't seen a space where it was being brought up prior to now, but because the current edition is also missing old formatting features, as well as having no code to rectify old 'manual' address formatting, I agree it's made a lot of old resources and posts shoddy at best and unusable/unreadable at worst.
I actually don't know if it's on markdown (tests manually doesn't seem like it) and hopefully someone better at interpreting the api responds, or there's an old discussion on the Discord to be found.
Regardless of the game, except in one or two special cases, moderators have a limit of three weeks to process submitted runs. After this point, you should reach out to them directly about the pending run, however, you won't have those kinds of inactivity problems with Minecraft Bedrock.
I feel that I should mention you have to be 13 years old to be allowed to use the site, as interesting a read as your introduction is.
The Marlin Model 336W is a rifle which was unveiled by Marlin Firearms in the late 1940s, and, remarkably, has just last year resumed production, under the 'Classic' subheading.
