Run Starting Point
3 years ago
United States

I was wondering what the starting point of a run is. The rules say "Time starts on starting a new game." But the Mod Note on the current 1st place run says it was re-timed to cut out the opening cut scene.

So is it the moment the you press your hand to the Myst book? The moment you appear on the Dock? The moment you move for the first time?

Thanks!

We're going with the same rules as the previous iteration (realMyst: Masterpiece Edition).

By those rules, time starts on your first movement (or input) on Myst Island, which removes the opening cutscene.

Time ends on the last input which results in the white page being replaced in Atrus's linking book.

I forgot to change the rules when I approved the last run, they are updated now. :)

In older versions, didn't time end when the page appeared in Atrus' hand?

It would, but in this version, the page never appears in his hand, it goes directly from the player's hand into the book.

White page glitch banned

Use of the white page glitch, where the white page appears earlier than it is supposed to, leading to an instant hand-in, has now been banned.
