Hello all, As of today (3/20/2018) we have split the leaderboards of each version, as they are different games entirely and deserve their own leaderboards. Here are links for each version:

I just wanted to create a place where people can either post their new strats or speculate/ask ask questions about potential discoveries or timesaves.

So, a couple weeks ago i submitted a request for a leaderboard for the game "5 Days a Stranger", which was to my pleasure accepted and added to the site.

Since then, however, I have realized that I want to speedrun the other games in the series (7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice respectively) which are not on the website. I am not sure which way I should go about requesting their leaderboards.

Should I do runs for the games and individually submit leaderboard requests for each one, and then submit a request for a series? Should I submit a request for the series first?

Sorry if this seems like a tedious question, I just want to make sure that I do things properly.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Since Taran just uploaded a bunch of info to the guides section and there doesn't seem to be a way to reply to it, I'm making this thread for discussion about it.

Hey everyone, I think its time that we make a decision as a community. Now, as you may know, ps2 emulators do not accurately emulate loading times, and are faster than the original console. The reason that I'm bringing this up is that a run that is one second short of wr was posted today by ThinksTheClown (very impressive btw) on ps2 emulator.

On his run, the first loading screen stopped as early as 14 seconds, which is faster than any of the consoles. For comparison, here is what I have seen from the other consoles:

Ps2: control at 22 seconds (source: experience) GameCube: control at 20 seconds (source: experience) Xbox: control at 16 seconds (source: Spidybawlz) Ps2 emulator: control at ~14 seconds (source: Thinkstheclown's run)

Now, there are a few ways we can go about this issue:

1. Ban Ps2 emulators. The pro would be that this would erase the issue of the unrealistically fast loading times on the emulator, but at the cost of accessibility.

2. Start time after the first loading screen. This would even the playing field for all consoles, and is quite easy to do with livesplit. The downside is that the existing runs would have to be re-timed (I could do this manually for each run and edit it if we choose this option)

3. allow ps2 emulators as they are. This would leave ps2 emulators as the fastest option by a few seconds, which I'm personally not a fan of.

I would personally prefer option 1, as ps2 emulators are a big can of worms to open, and dolphin emulator is accurate and available.

At any rate, I'm going to verify Thinks' run for now.

Everyone, please leave your thoughts below and we can come to a consensus!
