@brmbrmcar

@Dugglez is not active at all here, I don't see the point of having him as super-moderator for STK. Verifier would be enough, if he wished to come back later, I think.

@UbuntuJackson is very active verifying runs and is trustworthy, I'd put him as super-moderator for an easier management of mods in the future.

I'd also like to myself get moderator, would be nice to be able to verify runs, sticky forum posts, etc.

I'm here, I do look at the forums. I cannot demote super mods or myself. I don't feel that comfortable as a super mod though; I don't really do runs. I'm just nowhere near good enough.

That's not very practical if there is no way to do so unless contacting SRC's staff.

I guess that's what we'd have to do, unless there is any objection to my proposal ?

(Off-topic, or not : would be nice to have some more runs even if they're not that great, you're not required to post an excellent time)

I can't unmod a super mod. I made @Alayan a regular mod.

Oh yes. Should I demote myself and promote you?

[quote]But still, how active or interested I am doesn't give me the right to super mod.[/quote]

It doesn't give a right, I just thought it'd be nicer to have a supermod who actively runs and verify the game, and is known to be trustworthy.

[quote]I'm actually confused about one thing, why are the times milliseconds, and not what the time says in the IGT in ILs? I've verified very badly since I'm not sure where the last decimal comes from. @runners did you retime your ILs?"[/quote]

Replays times are saved down to milliseconds, and the values come from there.

However, the game, when playing a replay file is not perfectly precise, mainly for the lap times which are also flawed in normal play. If you play several times a replay file, you can have some variations in the time displayed. In theory, you could squeeze some milliseconds simply by replaying again and again the same replay file.

If someone tried to cheat his milliseconds times, he'd practically never gain a place from it, and on the long run, over 10-20 ILs, it would be possible to spot an anomalous pattern anyway (that'd be a very stupid way to cheat).

The main issue that could arise is two runners having a very small difference, it would not be possible to know for sure which one is faster, as it would not be possible to rely simply on the ms time given by the runner.

The good new is that my improved ghost mode allows to compare ghosts, including from 0.9.3 and older. When the timing issues of the race result GUI will be fixed, it'll be possible to feed two replay files to 0.9.4 ; and to watch them together, which should allow to find if there is anything suspicious and which is the fastest.

I personally like to have the time down to the ms ; I'd let them like that. If a situation should arise where two times are too close, we'll be able to handle it with more care, requesting for ghosts and retiming.

It would be good if all IL WRs were required to post a ghost (that way, others would be able to train against it, or even check it if they wish so). I'm not sure how we should organize it.

France

It's not that it matters much, but having a fully inactive mod don't make much sense to me.

Antarctica

Well it's their own choice since none of us can do it.
