I was wondering about the rule for when timing stops. In the rules it says when screen fades to black before credits. Does this include the wife/child and self portrait endings?

The reason I ask is because movement stops and a small cutscene is played before credits for these endings. The main ending (Loop) has a cutscene and the small epilogue section before timing does actually stop on last input which leads to credits (Pulling the sheet down).

I have been trying to route something with the different endings and this will have an impact on them.

rules say timing stops when the screen the fades to black but it seems no one on the leader board (myself included) follow that rule as we all split at some point after pulling down the sheet. doesnt seem too big a deal but technically most of us are ending upon final input. luckily the time between the two is about a second or less.

anyways, are the other endings similar to the inheritance where you trigger the final action and then a cut scene plays leading to an ending/credits? for that i figured it made sense to stop on the last input as theres no need to pad the run time with cut scenes.

Yeah the other endings are similar to how Inheritance ends. The final input is on the canvas and it plays a cutscene that is about 2 minutes long before fading to the credits.

ok right. yeah it makes most sense to have all runs end on the final input as a faster run shouldnt be considered slower just because it has extra cutscenes before the credits.

only problem is if we change the rules, everyone's run would have to be retimed as most people arbitrarily split after the final sheet is pulled. its not to bad though as most runs would be about a second shorter.

i can change the rules and say that from today, timing will end upon hitting the final input.

if anyone is upset or whatever they can ask me and ill manually retime their run.

also if anyone else here is lurking and has a different opinion/suggestion, im all for it.
