Invalid wr run?

The wr run for meet and greet doesn’t have any video evidence like stated in the rules, so I don’t think it should be up there.

I agree, it clearly states in the rules that you must record a video of the run.

I messaged one of the mods who said they fixed it but they didn’t :/.

If a mod could take a look at it that would be great. Its under 1 player multiple controllers.

I have talked to a mod, and they said they have had multiple runs in the category and can be trusted, so the run is remaining up. I do agree however, there should be some improvements made on the category rules, as they can be unclear. Nevermind, I'm an idiot, misunderstood something

I've rejected it several times now, but it won't go away. SRC is being buggy!

Who said this?

To expand on what I said in the Discord server:

  • The original 11 second run was already removed, but the runner has multiple runs in the category which were not rejected which is why they appear there now
  • The Meet and Greet rules aren't reliable. They don't specify that IGT is used. This is because the minigame categories have been moved around a few times (from IL to full-game) and the rules are not always moved with them. So whether or not picture proof is sufficient cannot be determined by the rules.

Currently the only minigame which clearly accepts picture proof is Cosmic Capers. There's little reason why this minigame should allow it and not others which use in-game time. So the options I suggest:

  • Keep it as it is and allow picture proof only for Cosmic Capers
  • Allow picture proof for all minigames which use in-game time
  • Require video proof for all minigames (means removing picture proven Cosmic Capers runs)
  • Remove all in-game time minigames from the leaderboard

The reason for the last option is because these minigames have long been tracked at other places like cyberscore and Video Games Records. The purpose of the speedrun.com leaderboards could be to track minigames which are not tracked elsewhere.

In my opinion, I think either option 1 or 3 would be the best. Imo it would really suck to see all of the IGT minigames get removed.

The run which was already rejected was 11.3.

There is another possibility which is only allowing picture proof for Cosmic Capers and Spring Time. These are the only minigames which appear in the records section. Other than that I can't see any justification for only allowing picture proof for certain minigames.

I think only allowing picture proof for Cosmic Capers and Spring time would be a good idea.

[quote]I don't think they have multiple runs is a good argument.[/quote]

It was never an argument for keeping it, it's just the reason the runs still appear: because they were not yet rejected along with the original run.

it seems like a good argument lol If a lot of people want to be added to run it
