The old requirement was that a sub 33 minute Main Levels - Any% run needed a video. I overhauled the rules a week or two ago, explaining a lot of things that weren't specified previously (for example, what happens with timing when you retry a level, and good ways to retime runs). I also removed this limit, given that it's deeply unfair due to the variance in loads between different devices. I'm not sure if a new roughly equivalent limit based on the loadless time (sub 21, sub 20) would be best. Alternatively, we could accept all runs unless the times are blatantly fake, but require a video to calculate the loadless time (as this is necessary to place high on the leaderboard). MrCafecito also suggested a video cutoff based on placing, say top 5, but that doesn't translate well to the other categories which have little to no runners. Personally, I'm leaning in favour of requiring video for calculating all loadless times. With the current timing method it's near impossible to get an accurate loadless time without careful retiming, and while doing this I've seen massive differences between the submitted time and the actual time. It would also work nicely for every category, even including Full World ILs.
I think the obvious takeaway here is that you should find a way to record :P I'm sure there's an app that you can use. I'll deal with the run once a rule is decided, but I'm not sure when that will be. Panther asked to be unmodded months ago and hasn't done anything since (he didn't know how to unmod himself, I'm a regular mod or I'd have done it for him already), MrCafecito is barely around and grizzly is never around. So I was meaning to ask in the server to get opinions from non-mods, but have been very busy with coursework/exams. Sorry about the delay :/
I'd be happy to hear any runner's thoughts on video requirements and cutoffs, would be very helpful in deciding a rule.
I think for any% the main category there should be video requirement for runs under 23 minutes because that is when it gets closer on the leaderboard. Not asking for any video requirement would make most runs seem illegitament. So for the main any% category i think 23 minutes is reasonable
Hi, I still exist but right now I'm way too busy to be a mod and have requested to them to unmod me as Tall mentioned. That's great that you got your run in, but any% main levels takes a LONG time for the mods since they have to watch your whole video which is a very painful process. If you really want it to be accepted right away you can time it yourself :)
A way to record on android is with youtube gaming. It screen records. You can also stream from it
