Hello @Ultra64, thank you for your response!

First of all i also want to apologise if my comment came across as somewhat selfish. Of course I understand this is completely voluntary work, and private life should be prioritised for all mods.

It is good to know that the total run time is 2D 5H 59M 32S —that's undeniably a really long time! As i know programming, i could make some kind of app which takes timestamps as input and outputs the run time, but the timestamps would still need to be logged manually. If the retiming were to be done, we would have to automate as much of the process as possible.

As for what @Wout_B said, I would vote against starting fresh, i really wouldn't like anybody to disappear from the leaderboard because of this, as this would make it even more unfair for those who are not active anymore. I'm not sure about timing just the top 10 submissions. Have any of you seen something like this done in other communities?

I will send @LegoMyEggo_77 a message and we'll see if we decide on something.

Thank you everybody for your insights!! :)

Hi! It's been a year since this was last discussed, but since I think it is a particularly relevant matter, I would like to see it go somewhere.

I find it completely illogical, unfair and questionable to need to use a cracked version of the game instead of the version available on the official stores just to be able to compete in equal conditions.

By computing the runs' completion time with the only part that's invariant accross devices and versions (and pretty much the only part that interests both runners and viewers!), which is the in-level time, the problem should become solved.

I would gladly collaborate with moderators to retime all submitted runs, but I guess I'm not trustworthy since this is my first appearance on the community lol. Still, I ask the mods to officially decide whether or not the methodology change will take place, and actually start working on the task little by little.

Thank you!! :)

Cool! Thanks for the quick response and fix :)

Hi!

I was checking the Get Married/Have A Baby records, and there's something strange I found with the times.

According to the Category Rules,

Timer ends whenever you get to name the baby.

And, in fact, in the run https://www.speedrun.com/ts3/runs/ywd62e2z is considered completed in 12 min 2 s, when the name pop-up appears.

However, in this other run: https://www.speedrun.com/ts3/runs/y2qn8v9y, while the time in the title says 12 min 12 s, it is registered as 11 min 54 s on the website: that is, when the wife needs to go to the hospital, and not when she has already given birth to the child.

Why is this the case? Am I getting something wrong?

Thank you!
