Appreciation to the moderators and verifiers of Minecraft speedrun

I have been checking races since April 19, 2020. It took 5 months of this work. I wanted to share some of my thoughts about this and our team, so that the players and even the reviewers themselves would get some comprehensive ideas about the work done.

There is a curious rating of checks among us. You can use it to see who checked how many races. Initially I saw it in this form https://photos.app.goo.gl/RALUdWxrUWRy1swz6 Then it was corrected and it turned out this way. https://photos.app.goo.gl/7fQqLTNfonfMAW2Q7

I have my own statistics of what I checked. For each race, I create a data file that I save. Therefore, I was able to calculate how much I actually checked. Until September 15, 2020, I checked 951 races. This does not match the first table or even more accurate data. I thought that the calculation excludes the races of which I turned down. Of those, I rejected 100 runs.

It may also not take into account those races that were rechecked by moderators after me and came out under their name of the reviewer or were rejected by them. On this I can conclude. 951 (total) -100 (rejected)=851. 851-838=13 this seems to have been fixed by the moderators. In any case, I checked 951 races.

In total, our team tested at least 7,000 races. I think that this can be multiplied by 10% of rejected races and get a more realistic figure, somewhere around 10000. This list does not include Illumina, which could also check something. There may have been some other people who contributed. I don't know.

In any case, all the participants did well. A phenomenal job has been done. I know it can be difficult, but we help hundreds of people find a little joy of success and promotion in their favorite game. You understand this feeling when you participate in competitions yourself, even with a little success.

I thank the entire team for their significant contribution in the form of ideas or time spent on the joy of children and those who do not want to grow up and stop playing. I also thank you for giving me the opportunity to develop this project together with you. It is interesting. Thank you so much.

So, 10,000 races, if you multiply by a minimum of 5 minutes of checking each of them, it turns out that we spent 833 full days checking the races. Most likely, this number can be doubled. After all, checking many races could take 20 minutes or 30. I remember that a couple of times 7-10 hours checked some All Achivements long in 20-25 hours, speeding up the video. Yes, we have to check with acceleration.

There are also ordinary complex races that you check several times. So let's multiply 833 days by 2. previously, there Were no accelerated checks, as now, with the growing popularity of speedrun in Minecraft. So I'll multiply by 2 for statistics )). I think it will be nice to understand that we spent about 1666 days in checks )) for today. There is a bit of Nezer in this figure. )) This is more than 4 years. Just imagine if one or more people did it. So you now have an idea how this work for the players really takes time.

I'm too lazy to calculate how much each of our team spent their time on this, but I was curious about how much on average I gave my time to this joy, mainly to children. ((951*5)/60)*2=158 days. What?))) I spent almost a year in five months? )) Not... Statistics are lying... )) I don't know.... How? I checked some races in 2-3 minutes. Okay, divide it in half and we get about 80 days. So, I didn't notice that I spent two months of my life entirely checking out races. Out of 5 months, I sat for 2 months and checked the races. Even if my calculations are not accurate and I only really checked for a month, this is also impressive. That's a lot...

Therefore, dear moderators and verifiers, past, present and future, I am well aware of the sacrifice of time and effort you are all making and I do not regret the words of admiration for all of you. Each of you is a legend in some way. I will mention only some of the most striking ones for my degree of communication. I don't speak English and sometimes I can't understand the Google translation of what they are discussing. Correct me and add if I miss something. I would like this topic to be dedicated to some introduction of players to the reviewers, where they can write a few words about themselves or someone to write about them, if you know them well.

Illumina is a retired super moderator, veteran and champion table leader who has promoted and continues to promote this movement to the masses. Over the past few months, his audience on twitch has grown tenfold. I got on the team because of him. Of the latest achievements, we can highlight his speedrun on all versions of Minecraft, which took about 25 hours. Unique person.

Mickthebrick1-verifier. randomidiot13-verifier. DKEN-verifier. Flourish - verifier. MultiPorl-verifier. the silliest - verifier. Probably the youngest of us. Incredibly fast speedrunner, catching up with the legendary leaders. drxgonfly-verifier.

Some of us are developing new features for speedrun. This way the circle of project participants expands beyond the team of reviewers. Someone creates mods for training, someone creates tutorials. This is very encouraging. It is hoped that there will be a special client for a speedrun, which would exclude the forging of races and will accelerate their validation.

Sorry if someone just couldn't get to know them properly yet. Many of you are great speedrunners and more. It's amazing how you combine school, work, life, checking races, your own PB and WR. You are unusual people, the best of the best in this area of The minecraft universe.

Since no one is paying for your work, I think it would be nice to thank you and mark it with likes. That's why I started such a post on the forum. I think that if I had a good translator and knew you better, when I gave this speech at a tournament where all the participants of our competitions were gathered, all these thousands of people would have given you a standing ovation for a few minutes. If they understood what you were doing for them, how much effort you were expending, they would all stand up and applaud you as their heroes.

Some are surprised that there are not many speedrun leaders among the local moderators and verifiers, and there are no particularly prominent successes in competitions at all. This is because instead of training and trying to play, we spend a lot of time checking. What is comforting in this case is the knowledge that we can all boast that we have tested some new world champion. Somewhere down there is our nickname. )) We invisibly ran his championship race with him and sanctified it with glory by clicking on the "Verifi run" button...

To some extent, especially if we support a player or have chosen an idol, we naturally share their success, the joy of success. I think it should be comforting and encouraging for us, as testers, to have some unity with the players when choosing favorites and waiting for them to reach the top. I think we should enjoy our work in this way, getting the excitement and sense of brotherhood from it with someone familiar and interesting. We can receive words of gratitude from colleagues and well-wishers who are happy with our efforts. We also need a little leniency because we sometimes make mistakes and take a long time to Mature to do something great.

I believe in each of you and I know that if you value people, even the smallest ones, they get a lot of energy for their talent. I can't spend any money to appreciate your work, but I hope that you will feel a surge of energy from my understanding and respect for you and your work. For me, this list with the number of checks is a monument to our joint work, where not only the head is important, but also what supports it. )) Even if something is at the bottom, it is no less important to the whole world... Thank you to everyone who creates this world, lights portals to new dimensions...
