It's always fighting games.

Alright looked at the rules and it says nothing about showing the options menu, just that certain things must be turned on. This implies needing to show the options menu, but doesn't require it.

Also, he does show the options menu, in which he clearly has things set according to what the rules require.

Lastly take it up with the Tekken 3 mods as they'll be able to help you more than non Tekken 3 runners will be able to.

Why didn't you talk to him and the community about this first?

I'd still parrot what Komrade said earlier. Bring this up with the community. You should have a game-specific forum you can talk about this on. It's really both unnecessary and excessive to post about it in the public forum unless the community can't resolve the issue.

There are 4 mods for the game, consult them first.

Games and their leaderboards are handled by the communities, not by the site admins. You completely dismissing all the mods and the entire community outright is a terrible thing to do if you want to be a part of it. Also just glancing though the board many of the runs don't show the options menu.

Also, strictly speaking there is no rule against having to show the options screen at the start of the run, merely that all options must be on default. As such, you would have to prove that an option isn't set to default to dispute the run, not simply "oh, they don't show the menu".

This is why simply asking the moderators is the best choice here. I would question just how far you went in terms of trying to contact the runner in question, and how long you've actually given them to respond. I've had a fair few requests of this nature come my way since I started being a mod, and outside of one case... they were all solved with me simply DMing the runner in question, who then usually informed me that no one had contacted them.

There's a larger chance you would've gotten an answer and resolution simply posting this in the games forum itself, over here.

[quote]If I do not need to show the options, what's the point of this rule?[/quote] Idk, why don’t you ask the people who made the rules. You know, the mods of the game.

There’s not much more anyone here can do for you. These questions and concerns need to be raised with the mods of the game as they’re the ones who made the rules.

As for a mod verifying their own run, there’s nothing against it, it’s just discouraged when there are multiple active mods on a game.

There is literally nothing any of us can do. Your best bet is to take it up with the community and the moderators.

If you ask the game moderators, they will likely explain their methods.

[quote="Luccas-Cantarutti"]And what about a moderator approving his own run?[/quote]

The site has no global rule on this. It's up to individual communities to decide whether moderators are allowed to verify their own runs and to enforce that decision. If you think moderators for that game shouldn't be allowed to verify their own runs, that's something you'll have to talk to them about.

Honestly, just fucking talk to the other game moderators already. This is something that can be brought to them and dealt with by them, so just do that. It isn't the site staff's job to micro-manage every little thing that comes up on every single game on the site.

I mean he showed the options in the first 1-2 seconds of the video. Pause the video maybe?

Guess I was checking the wrong run out. When your leaderboard has 100 categories with similar names that's an easy mistake.

Regardless the rules don't say that you must show the options, so he's not breaking a rule.

Valhalla

Yeah I already said once before that it's implied to show the options, not required, but w/e. Take it up with the mods.

I'm willing to bet that you can tell just through regular gameplay what difficulty the game is set to. ie. damage taken, damage given, AI behaviour, etc. Plenty of games have tells that show what the difficulty is set as, and the same goes for other variables. This is not rocket science.

EDIT: Looked at the thread in the Tekken 3 forum w/ moderator responses, and yep it's exactly as I said; AI behaviour follows predictable patterns based on difficulty setting.

Colour me surprised that your immediate assumption of cheating/illegitimacy was due to literally not understanding how the game works.

I will however meet you halfway on this and agree that moderators should not be verifying their own runs, and should be setting the highest example possible for others to follow. Would have cost Shirdel literally nothing to just display the settings and let another mod verify the run.

You're being irrational. Just because you act like a snob in the way you type does not mean you're smart, you're just an idiot.

There is no rule for this and there never will be. It's literally an act of courtesy. Get over yourself.

Oh and don't bother replying about how you don't care what i say, because it's clear you don't care what a 3+ year mod says to you

[quote=Spikestuff]Actually that's just a thing people do out of courtesy. It isn't a written rule.[/quote]

[quote=Luccas-Cantarutti]Courtesy? Spare me friend, honestly. Waiting for a decent answer.[/quote]

@Luccas-cantarutti Yup, you just proved him right when he called you an idiot with just that last post..

This issue was resolved, move on
