Rules Question

For the normal + expansion tracks category for instance, I figure the fastest way to beat all 13 tracks would be to have 13 different windows open and try to beat all the tracks at the same time. I hope such a thing would be disallowed because then the top time would go to whomever has the fastest PC due to the insane lag you'd have. If it's not allowed, a note in the rules should be added that the tracks must be completed one at a time.

Also one of the category names has a typo and should read "Original Tracks%"

there is no way multiple tabs would be allowed. thats just common sense. no other browser game has a rule specifying that as its not really necessary.

You need to have at least two tabs open if you want to start completing the expansion tracks right after the original tracks. And then I wondered what was stopping me from basically completing the original and expansion tracks at the same time? How far could that be taken? As someone who has never speedrun another browser game before, this is NOT a ‘common sense’ rule to me, especially considering how hands-free these speedruns are.

i dont see any reason why you would need 2 tabs to be open at the same time. play it all in 1 tab and switch to the expansion game right after finishing the primary game. that seems the most fair. having multiple tabs seems like it would be against the spirit of the run (Imo)

Having another tab open with the expansion tracks all set to go would remove extra load time and the ninja kiwi intro. I don’t see any harm in allowing that.

However I definitely agree tracks should be completed one at a time because it really does go against the spirit of the run. I’d like to hear what the mods think too if they’re watching this thread.

I suppose having 2 tabs open (1 for main game 1 for expansion) and not starting expansion until after main game wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the run. But i think it ruins the spirit of the speedrun.

I personally think that it would be better if everything was in one tab as it would be easier to just make a rule saying "Use of more then one tab is not permitted". it would be much easier and more straightforward. but i wouldn't be opposed to it either way.

That is allowed.

@MrJoCrafter What is allowed, beating multiple tracks at once or having two tabs open to switch between games quickly?

Would it be good to add the NK archive to the rules? I know Newgrounds is working on an alternative to flash player and there are other preservation efforts, but it might be better to go with something official after the end of Flash.
