@Merl_ reduce it to something a game mod sees when clicking on a run on theirleaderboard of a user banned for cheating and it is enough. the thing is the word would still spread 🤷 so i dont see much use in it.
Here to add that the ban reason "cheating" should be seen by the puplic.
lets say it this way: if you do it right you already have enough work with a handful games.
but there is no actual cap to my knowledge.
nah the problem is also literally moderating a ton of games.
- you cant have expertise in 100 games or so
- if you are gone a ton of games will have problems
- those games will be negleted moderators which have a low amount of games handle them differently than moderators with a ton of games.
- the site is barely made to actually moderate that many games.
- or last you basically just are listed as a mod and actually do nothing
Modcollection by requesting "spam" games and pushing other people to add them is also bad. But overextending also has all the same end reasons why its bad.
"can't be added to games anymore because they were mod collecting" at that point cant we just make a hard cap on moderated games?
"Can I use a turbo controller or pause during a run?" this segment
Nobody cares about pauses when a run is timed RTA which is pretty much the norm exept for one sandbox game.
you should make a differenace beetween pauses in RTA and IGT
unironically i would like it with adds. i didnt have anything against them because people where able to use it themselves.
when routing or figuring games out the first time its great to just set goals to find useful things. or to optimise segments. Later when you are at a point where you dont see many new possibilities you can set time goals again.
@goadiroth reni has himself access to post those screens if he wanted to. also "Next step is removing yourself. Thanks in advance." doesnt really make it seem he posted it with a good intent.
@Jumpyluff you should do those things if somebody doesnt come clean. doing it after it is like kicking somebody on the ground. shit move seriosly.
removing the runs if they are your runs is ok. but as a moderator just unlist the name and that only in the worst case.
@EuphoricFox Speedrun the game itself before that, most conversion mods arent really different enough gameplay wise. And have less distinct ways to define categories and goals.
Also its already hard to manage one everchanging basegame with a fair leaderboard where old versions are readely aviable via steam workshop. Also Especially with HOI4 mods there are problems with many ways of cheating, because there is no controll of the gamefiles via the "achievment aviable" option. Unlike Minecraft logs are useless. And even a mandatory speedrun mod which i thought about still doesnt stop the majority of ways.
I really like the idea. i pretty long only lurked on the site, until i found the game i was mostly playing normally.
Hearts of Iron 4. the run was pretty unoptimised at that time and used manual justification directly at the start. I had pretty good game knowledge and did the first rerouting: Rushing Focus to be at war with a major to be able to declare wars faster. that was a timesave of good 60 days IGT (which are equivalent to around 3-4 minutes RTA) https://www.speedrun.com/hoi4/run/zn89ek7z 15 min RTA
Since then we have a split beetween IGT and RTA because we have lagproblems with RTA and pausing isnt a cost with IGT. https://www.speedrun.com/hoi4/run/y4wro5qm this is my best RTA run (doesnt have a slow set game speed or pausing) which has the ideal IGT of the RTA strategy but isnt record despite of it. ~4min RTA https://www.speedrun.com/hoi4/run/zgxj100m this is my perfected IGT run. With setup strategies which allow for earlier war it can beat the old strategy IGT but not RTA
people would do it for free, and did it for free. and are still trying to do it for free on the forum.
this is to bring people to show which parts of src are mostly used. and where to gain more clicks. (at least filling it out seems like that)
Edit: And for that i have to say: build up the forum. and try to make them a better/bigger hub. you wont be able to compete with discord for fast chat. But being a place for more ordered discussions would be great.
