Hello everyone ! Browsing through the site, i saw some games were not listed under Gundam as a series. I tried to change it for one game, that i added myself, which is: https://www.speedrun.com/Kidou_Senshi_Gundam_Seed_Destiny but i can't seem to add the series to it.

Other games would include: https://www.speedrun.com/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_Side_Story_The_Blue_Destiny

https://www.speedrun.com/SD_Gundam_Dimension_War

and

https://www.speedrun.com/Gundam_Breaker_3

Is it possible to add those to the series as well, so people can all around find them easier?

Thanks a lot !

It was possible to add those games into the Series Listings however there wasn't any formal request for any of these games to be added to the Series Listings till now since a few were only recently added to the site sometime after the Series List was created or were under different titling till recently.

In order to request a game to be added to the Main Series it needs to be requested by going to the Series Page, then Games, and Request Game.

Alternatively there's also a Thread for Requesting Existing Games found here.

So you say, that you have to request the existing Gundam games into this thread to be added? I know that its possible to add games under the series, if you request it under the series. That's what i did for almost every game, except the JPN GBA SEED game. I did screw that up and requested it, back then, when i didn't know about how the site's mechanics work.

So, the 4 existing games i have listed here go into the thread you posted ?

Also what's about my thread about making me a Series Mod? No mod seems to respond at that and i hate to going onto different social media, just to receive no message. Thanks !

Yes for existing games that aren't already catalogued under the "Gundam Series" Banner you would have to specifically request for them to be added in the Thread link provided.

As for consideration as a Series Mod for Gundam, after much deliberation we've decided to give you a trial run to test the waters and see if you would be a good fit.

Please note that Series Mods actually do not have direct control of each of the individual Gundam Game Leaderboards & Rules for them listed on the Speedrun website since each individual Gundam Game is Moderated by their own individual Mod Teams and their Leaderboards & Rules are handled by them directly.

Series Mods are primarily keeping track of games that would fit in their Series Listing while being very familiar the various Games & Game Types that can be found within it, as well as adding other Gundam Games that would be viable for Speedrunning.

If you have any other questions feel free ask here or within the Gundam Series Forums.

Ah, thank you very much ! I will post into the thread and get the added to the boards !

Thank you also for the opportunity as trial mod for the gundam series !

I know that series mods are not in control of the Game leaderboards and rules, which is of course totally fine with me, since i don't want to change them in any way. My suggestion for being a mod was pretty much about getting the games, that aren't in the series into it, as well as making requested games faster to add. Since i'm currently learning each individual Game of the Gundam Seed series, there will be a couple more added once i got a decent run. Some i figured don't make quite the good speedgame and are pretty much not enjoyable or fast enough to run (such as Battle Assault 3, or the Gundam SD RPG's).

Thanks for the advice and let's do some good work ! :)
