Hey, so now with the new ending where you have the option of looping or not, I was wondering when the run would be considered over? My opinion would be to end it at when you actually sit on the destroyed throne, but maybe a better point to end it would be after the following cutscene concludes. Any thoughts?

I haven't beaten the game enough times to know if stopping after the cutscene would be a good place. I might be wrong, but aren't there different endings? Wouldn't this change the length of the speedrun if we were to stop after that? Stopping when your character sits on the throne sounds like a good compromise as long as it's accurately stopped.

This really needs to be addressed now, as second place run is currently timed in-game (no loading times), where first place is timed out of game and does have loading times. For running an already inconsistent game, we should absolutely have no inconsistencies in timing. They should either be timed in game or out of game, not both. As of right now, using the in-game timer removes both loading and mutation times. Out of game timer obviously doesn't, and we need a solid way of going about this.

I know this is contradicting my previous statement, but I believe we should use the in-game timer. It eliminates the oddly inconsistent loading times. Pauses should not be allowed; however, one or two is okay if it needs to be paused as long as it's not used as a break or to an advantage.

Yeah, I can agree with this, especially since the in-game time does continue when you are picking a mutation. As long as people don't pause spam to get a super good time, I like the idea of getting rid of the inconsistent loading times. Now as of the current update (94) it seems to be impossible, at least for me, to sit on the throne. I'm not too sure how to time it, but I'm just timing it based on a guestimite of when I would have sat on the throne.
