@Liv You've missed something in Roblox's description for gear. "Gear is any number of Roblox created items that can be used in-game such as a weapon or mode of transportation." You see if Roblox themselves made the tool then it will be considered a gear. Yes, the umbrella in theory can be linked to as a model and not a gear and it wouldn't have been made by Roblox either.
I'm not really good at racing games, but I could try I guess.
@ShikenNuggets I have told the mods this and I got a response from OverworldYT and all he said was "Umbrella is a type of gear". In the thread I explained to him why he was wrong by roblox's own definition of a gear and why it should be allowed and haven't gotten a reply yet. So right now I'm currently waiting for him to either change the rules or accept my run because arguing the item I used was a gear is objectively wrong by roblox's own definition.
Again, no it isn't I've been creating games on ROBLOX for the past 9 years of my life. What you just described was a tool, all gears are tools but not all tools are gears. https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/class/Tool
I've recently been active again in the Roblox: Climb 2000 Stairs to VIP any% category and I noticed that since the last time I was active there was a change in moderators. I am certain that user Quantum_ is not fit to be a moderator of this category. The first time he rejected my run was for this reason: "This run has been deemed too inappropriate for the ROBLOX platform." Obviously this doesn't make sense because the run wasn't uploaded to the ROBLOX platform only to the youtube and speedrun.com websites and it didn't break any rules on both of those sites. The next time he rejected the same run after I reluctantly censored my overlay on the original run it was for the reason: "Use of gear is not allowed. Another runner pointed out this mistake, sorry for this confusion." The item I used in my run isn't classified as a gear in the ROBLOX catalog. So he rejected my run 1 time because of a rule he made up in the process of approving or rejecting my run and then the 2nd time was because he didn't understand the actual rules himself. Can you please take action and remove Quantum_'s moderation privileges and instead make me a moderator? I've been running the game for a long time and basically invented the any% category, without me the world record for this game would be up more than 3 minutes.
First run using current any% method: Evidence.zip: http://prntscr.com/lfniv1 , http://prntscr.com/lfnjfm Rejected run:
No it isn't, it is instead a tool. The difference here is the umbrella was included in the game by the developer from a model. A gear is anyone's game and can be anything listed as a gear in the roblox catalog and supports pay to win.
Yep, here we are again arguing about the same run. Rejecting this run for use of gear is inaccurate. The tool used in my run was the umbrella which is in the game by default it's supposed to be there. It isn't even in the catalog under gear let alone it isn't in the catalog at all. So either update your rules to say no umbrella or accept my run.
6 months ago after messing around with the cloak of transportation and climbing up the stairs I'd teleport to the top of the stairs once I hit a certain point. I later found out that when you use the cloak of transportation and hit those bricks fast enough it clips you ever so slightly to hit the teleport that was placed under the stairs by the developer. Now we just go behind the stairs and hit it, but when this run was initially submitted it was ahead of the previous record by roughly 3 minutes. So then people wanted to make a 100% category for people who don't use this skip.
Yo the first place winner Sneakyy on Roblox Climb 2000 Steps to VIP cheated. His time should be 4 seconds longer since he started after several movements.
