Hey all. You would have no idea who I am, but I've been doing unrecorded runs for a while on my own, and I'm planning on actually submitting some soon. My friend has also taken some interest in the map, and we started to do 2 player speedruns of the Glitchless No Preserve category. A lot of the strategy has to do with me, the much more experienced speedrunners especially for this map, being boosted by him punching me in certain areas, along with a few special strats as well. Is it possible that you could add 2 player runs to leaderboards? It'd be great to have it for all of the categories as an option, imo, but at least for glitchless no preserve and glitchless with preserve. Anyways, thanks.

Well as far as I know, there aren't really any restrictions on additional players. Obviously this will be a separate category. The category will be added when the first run is submitted (just submit to any%, I'll change it myself). New categories are fun, but without runners, they are kind of pointless. This approach is one many other games use.

Alright, works for me. Do both players need video proof though? I know there's no official category yet and there would need to be a few new rules of clarification for that stuff. Also, I assume the starting would be kind of like starting a random seed glitchless run, where you open it to LAN before time starts, and people can join once time starts. Except it would still start on movement, no need for typing /time set day.

We would follow the vanilla minecraft multiplayer rules. The person hosting the world should provide video proof. The other person(s) can provide video evidence if they wish, but it technically isn't required.

So then you should make sure the host/video person is the one who finishes the minecart ride first to stop the timer? It's impossible to see when the other person finishes by looking at one person's screen

Canada

Yes, the host should be the one to finish the run.

Timing starts on the first player's first movement, so the beginning can be totally done by the second player to smallen the time?

Iowa, USA

No, it starts when ANYONE moves.

Well i guess technically it doesn't say that, but the first player is supposed to be the one that starts moving first.

Canada

Correct. The first player to move is when timing starts, not when player 1 starts. There is no player 1.
