you've never ran the game, never ran anything similar to the game, you're not in the discord, and have you've had minimal activity on the site since you joined up until recently. sorry, but it's gonna be a no from me dawg.
A few days ago I requested to be moderator for ROBLOX: Down Hill Smash as the current moderator does a horrible job managing the boards and verifying runs. It was rejected due to me not having ran the game at the time, but now I have a verified and retimed record in the game's main category, and I am requesting to be the moderator again. I'm a moderator of many other games in the series, and I watch and retime every run.
Edit: if you want to see all of the problems with the current mod, see my other post
GeneralPikmin is a very special boy, he's so skilled in the art of moderating that he doesn't even have to watch runs to verify them!
Edit: The second place time is wrong too!
since it's like this for other roblox games, i believe the timer should be paused during teleportation between depths for full-game. how it works would be up to you, but it's something to think about since it favors internet speed.
@ShikenNuggets I would recommend @DlyanSpam in that case, as he has ran both the game’s categories and agreed to be a moderator.
we have enough categories imo sorry
i meant the entirety of phase iv, not just the tower
I'm putting in a moderation request for ROBLOX: Down Hill Smash. The current mod, GeneralPikmin, doesn't follow the consensus of the community ever unless he's threatened with the moderation guidelines. He verifies runs without watching them and doesn't retime runs, which can be pretty important considering how short they are. He gives off an elitist vibe and many runners have agreed that he isn't fit to be a moderator of the game.
also phase IV should be an IL since it’s more than just the tower
at the very least it should be a misc category then
• The users moderating a game should represent the consensus of the players of the game. If it is evident that moderators are not representing consensus among runners, site staff may change moderation.
In speedrun.com Moderation Rules.
I would recommend changing the rules as player consensus seems to agree that timing should begin based on first movement.
title says it all. it's only a part of depth 4, it belongs in ILs.
also, i believe there should be subcategories based on the spawn point as that is essentially rng. when the timer ends i also believe should be moved to when the badge giver is touched, because "when you reach the top" is also a bit more generalized than what makes sense for a speedrun.
really all it is is a lot of practice, but i can do my best to try to help you out:
-try to be a slight distance away from the wall, if you're practicing a good way to get this distance is by running into the wall, shift locking, and turning sideways so you get pushed a bit
-press w just before clicking minimize, only by a few milliseconds; your character shouldn't have started moving by the time the game freezes but you should be able to tell the difference in timings
-it's easier the thinner the wall is
A user named Kid_Gamer is the moderator of Make a Cake And Feed The Giant Noob and Make a Cake: Back for Seconds. He is pretty active and is online almost every day, but is by no means fit to moderate. He instantly verifies runs without even watching them, and has verified runs in the wrong category on multiple occasions and verified runs without proof. The current moderation team is doing a good job as it is and doesn't need him on it. The series moderator can't remove him since Kid_Gamer is a super mod of the games.
there isn't a discord server specifically for this game, i recommend joining the roblox speedrunning discord server since both me and cysmik are there https://discord.gg/7se2V85
