So, this is what the clipboard looks after a little bit of dedication and grinding :
Since this is not very speedrun friendly, especially for new people, i want to rename the current Books Any% category so it fits the gimmick a bit better. It would be a category (or subcategory) where we try to break the game, like i did with the Fundamental Book. It could be called 00:00:00% or something.
One the other hand, it would make sense to add a new category where the main rule would be to trigger the pocket watch from the lowest hold possible on any level. So the timer would start at the very beginning of a climb without any shenanigans. And this one would be the new Books Any%.
I would like to hear people's thoughts about this before proceding with any changes. Thank you!
Since we do not have an autosplitter yet, the accuracy of timings for all RTA categories is lacking. The only category using IGT right now is Books Any%. I strongly suggest you run this category for now. If you still want to run Stamp Any% or any other category, runs can still be verified. But be aware that this may change because once the autosplitter is created, most rules and categories using RTA will be revamped (thus potentially invalidating previously submitted runs)
I wasn't here when that happened so i don't know what you are talking about. But in our case, the 00:00:00 time obtained was given by the IGT clipboard. Does Vinyl have any clip he can submit? Cause if he indeed has some 00:00:00 times, they have to count. But a stone must be touched at some point to start the timer. Reaching the top of a level without touching any stone thus not starting the Pocket watch doesn't count.
Right now, they are submitted and counted as 00:00:01 by default, but the game probably has a hidden timer that goes down to the milliseconds. So it would make sense to separate 00:00:00 from 00:00:01.
