Wales@Oreo321 it's a technique referred to as hoarding, where you set possibly multiple records without submitting them and then submit them all at once to get yourself a lot of records.
It's usually never explicitly banned but highly frowned upon, as runners can't beat your run if they don't know what they're up against, meaning you can obtain a lot of world records with no resistance. Mario Kart 64 had an issue with something like this not long back where a runner held back multiple records on tracks set over months before releasing them all at once and becoming the 'World Champion' (having the most WR's).
Long story short: if you get a world record or high-ranking PB, just submit it as soon as you get the chance
@MojangWasTaken as someone who has done runs on Bedrock, I can say there's a very good chance if a texture pack is allowed on Java then it will be fine on Bedrock, but as I'm not a mod and don't know the texture pack I can't say for certain.
we have our own forum and discord so I'd recommend asking a mod over there instead. https://www.speedrun.com/mcbe/forum
I'm amazed some of these haven't been mentioned yet:
The Choice - Gustavo Santaolalla (The Last of Us)
Nate's Theme - Greg Edmonson (Uncharted 1-3)
Mice on Venus - C418 (Minecraft)
Ezio's Family - Jespyr Kid (Assassin's Creed 2)
The Bannered Mare - Jeremy Soule (Skyrim, pretty much all music in that game is amazing but that's my personal favorite)
and just Cuphead in general honorable mentions to the 50's music in Fallout, Super Punch-Out music and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's main theme
@Sineapple unlikely due to how full the queue is atm
@goldenONX ikr who would ever want to run that?
any% is going through the end portal, so maybe make we could make a new category dragon%, which is just all the full game runs a few seconds faster
@Iggy_gavrilovic41 no
yes it is allowed. if it's not in the rules then i'm assuming it's because it kinda goes without saying, but i understand your confusion
yes it is allowed
Hi, just wanted to let the moderators know that I submitted one IL run of this game (Gabby Jay) on a separate account, @Toast49. Just thought I'd mention it because some games don't like people who use Alt's or switch accounts, as it can be used to mask bans. The old account wasn't banned or anything, I just forgot the password after being inactive for awhile, and to be honest I never really liked the name.
this is in the category extensions edit: oh no mining? no
I'm guessing it's because of how many runs are being submitted, there are over 200 runs in queue atm there could be other reasons tho
This is a quote from Geosquare, a java moderator, taken from a comment he made on a YouTube video by GTA V speedrunner DarkViperAU, which I feel summarizes and justifies the moderators position well.
"It's unfortunate that this situation is dealing with something most people don't intuitively understand. For your average Joe, this has turned into: at worst a bandwagon based on your biases, or otherwise an unknowable problem only decided by the credentials of each side. However, it does seem that all of the PhD's and statistical experts we have seen or been in contact with have been overwhelmingly supportive of our methodology and conclusions. They say there are demonstrable, concrete flaws in the work of Dream and his statistician.
"To those mathematically inclined people who have not agreed with us or have provided critique, in each case (about three so far) we have discussed the situation with them, provided our response to their claims and each one has left with a changed opinion. This is how scientific consensus is challenged and confirmed. Healthy criticism from the right sources is always great.
"Now as I said, it's difficult for most people to ascertain what evidence to side with, but every qualified opinion I've seen has supported our conclusion so far. For that I believe the mod team and the experts are truly justified since they are the ones with the proper prerequisite understanding. For anyone else as a bystander, I suppose that you are right. It can be just believing one particular side or the other."
@Fredboy "It is very very easy to manipulate and lie with statistics" then how do you know dream's argument isn't also flawed and manipulative, assuming of course you don't have a degree in statistics? "easy to manipulate" what possible reason could the java mod team have to manipulate this data?
I'm going to be blunt: unless you are a java moderator or a qualified statistician, no-one really cares what you have to say on this issue, and your opinion will not in any way impact the ban on dream. I'm sorry if this comes across as rude, but I've said roughly the same thing twice before in this thread now in more polite terms, so i think it's understandable.
for the third time, please stop mentioning dream in this thread. If you disagree with anything regarding dream, then fair enough but there's very little point in voicing your opinion as the decision won't change unless the java mods change their decision. if you really have an issue with dreams ban, go appeal his innocence to the java mod team.
a cat like that would make the current full game cats pretty much irrelevant, as who would bother running a cat that just adds in random rng?
using a perfect luck data pack would be pepful to find theoretical fastest times, but will never get added as a separate cat most likely
fair enough
@goldenONX did you not read my last response? we can agree to differ about the fairness of dream' ban, but to quote Khalooody: "Simple sentence: Dream will stay banned here until its proven that he is innocent/didn't cheat." dream's run hasn't been added to leaderboards, therefore he hasn't been proven innocent.
please can everyone stop bringing up dream in this forum, thanks.
look, we could debate this in forums until the end of time, but the mods aren't going to change their minds based on any of our opinions, so it's completely pointless.
let's all agree to differ, ok? please stop bringing up dream in this forum.
i will run this cat tomorrow (it's like 1 am in wales) and post times in the discord. it can be an unofficial cat until if and when the mods add it
