"I give up and here is a wall of text explaining why"

Hey, glad you decided to learn speedrunning this game. Sadly, from your description there's not much I could tell you to help - but if you post a video of a failed attempt at those zips, then we can try to concretely help you out here. Also feel free to join our Prince of Persia speedrunning discord server (linked in the sidebar) as you'll reach more people there than on this forum and also you'll get quicker help.

Yes, as the load remover only needs the game feed, the port shouldn't affect it at all

As this seems to not be a thing so far, there now exists a Daedalic Speedrun Discord! Here the link for anyone who cares enough to join: https://discord.gg/YVRZ2ju

I'd like to request having Ivyiss removed from the mod list for Deponia 3 and Deponia The Complete Journey. He requested those to be added to the site around 2 years ago but hasn't done anything for the game eversince; also he hasn't visited this site in a year. Thank you in advance.

Since this run is not on the board yet I guessed I point out that epicdudeguy ran this at Hekathon 2018 and got a 28:26

@SlaaZy Here's the hobsliding tutorial by Riko

Reminder that this site doesn't support BBCode anymore but Markdown instead (as of November 2017, cf. here )

Both these things would be very much appreciated, thank you in advance!

On behalf of the Prince of Persia community I'd like to request having super_creature removed from the Prince of Persia 1 mods. He requested PoP1 to be added to the site around 2 years ago but hasn't done anything for the game eversince. He also is not and has never been affiliated with the community in any way but since he's a super mod (due to having requested the game), we sadly can't handle this ourselves. Thank you in advance.

By pure chance I just saw that the game TG16 version of the original Prince of Persia got added to the site roughly 5 months ago. As one of the moderators of the Prince of Persia series page however, I have to ask why we were not contacted by the site staff when this request came in. It's basically our only purpose to manage and add games related to the game series we're assigned to.

Something similar happened around a year ago when someone requested the Prince of Persia mobile games (originally requested as Prince of Persia: Revelations by Gustavo.Predador), which we luckily saw right after it got added to the site and could handle, respectively integrate into the series right away due to the help of the former full mods Gyoo and ROMaster2. By all due respect - things like this on one hand make me question why there are series mods in the first place and on the other hand, result in extra work for us as well as for the staff (e.g. integrating the game into the series, bringing the game page up to series standards etc.) eventually anyways.

^ that. Also doing frame-by-frame analysis of the video, his time is not 5.9s but 8 frames more than that so closer to 6.2 seconds (as splitting manually in this short of a category is nowhere near accurate enough)

Yes, it is known that the rewind trick can work in 3 but I usually get the version in 4 sands. On a side note: when you try to run diagonally, the prince is walking so you might want to check your controller calibration (as explained e.g. in the beginning of the zipless tutorial).

The two group pictures made on the last day after the Dark Souls run:

You probably mistyped as /ban <username> (or if you just want to timeout /timeout <username> <time>) is the correct command as long as you're mod or channel owner in said chat.

I was so free as to do quickly do that, see here

Yeah no matter how we decide on this, this surely is the opportunity to sort out this whole speedrun tech and leaderboard and what not mess. Maybe this also is a good opportunity to create an own Anno speedrun discord and not the real-time speedrun strategy one?
