Should we allow multilogging strats?
Current multilogging strats people are considering: -Lighting fires on alt account to get ashes without waiting thought of by Phantaesm -Alts dying at wizard tower so you can get bones without killing chickens thought of by Phantaesm -Certificate glitch discovered by EZScape to do Arrav in under a minute
Stuff to consider: -Jaxex's official stance: http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Multiple_logging-in
I'm a big fan of our current routing as everything you do is done solely by yourself, is achieved without external help (hence ironman), and agree that multilogging feels like it ruins the point of the category. Although if we were being completely objective about this, multilogging could potentially lower the time of the category. But in all honesty, I don't think setting up a multitude of accounts and suiciding them and doing other things wiith them while doing the main route sounds fun at all.
One thing I don't like about multilogging strats is how much more it will limit what hardware people will be able to speedrun the game on. Some of OSRS's strongest appeal is that it's a game which can run on very low specs PCs. Requiring players to multiclient can cause lots of lagg and will deter players from speedrunning this game. The additional setup required to get enough accounts in position to die for you at a specific time will make resets more annoying and further deter players from speedrunning this game.
I'm against it because I think it kills the spirit of the run being Ironman. Tbh I'd rather run non-Ironman than use these strats. If I'm going to multilog, I'd at least like to go /really/ fast
So we have a "Platform" column in the leaderboard, but obviously everyone is playing on PC. So why don't we turn that column in Multilog strats? Some very popular games do this. Most notable example that pops to mind is Wind Waker with the Tingle Tuner, but even Twilight Princess has "Amiibo" as a separate thing
