Is hitting every checkpoint required? There's some huge risk/reward in skipping checkpoints assuming you dont need to have a specific checkpoint value to enter the areas, but even then the final area ends when you touch the final checkpoint so... are you allowed to skip them?
You beat my tower in under 2 minutes! Congrats mate!
average cookie spawn time is 600 seconds (directly down the center between Tmin and Tmax) and the chance of Lucky appearing is between 37.7% and 42.2% so lets just average that out to 40%. So if we take exact average RNG for both cookie spawns and lucky rates, it would take 3 years, 237 days, 11 hours and 40 minutes.
Assuming perfect RNG, a golden cookie would spawn every 300 seconds, and give the player Lucky each time, which will give them 13 cookies every single time no matter how many cookies the player has, due to how the Lucky award system works. You could do this for an insanely long time, and after clicking a golden cookie 76924 times, you would reach the 1 million cookie goal. So how long would that take? Well, 300x76924=23077200 (that being the second count), and 23077200 seconds in comprehendible time is 267 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes and 4 seconds.
for single towers: In Game Time = The time the game thought you beat the tower in (as in what the win message says) Real Time = Time from the first frame of spawn to the first frame touching the winpad.
So I split up my full run into 10 separate videos because I presumed my internet would cut out during it, and surely enough on level 675 it did. so if a runner loses connection, rejoins, and then goes back to the last 100 (so like I would go back to level 600 for example) then would that still count as legitimate? it's a giant time loss but it's still doing every level.
Assuming a perfect run with no deaths whatsoever, completing an ASCT run would take 15.75 hours. And this is in a category that will get updated and reset constantly with every new ring/zone/change in towers, meaning after about 2 months at most the run will be completely irrelevated (?) due to a new area or change in towers. Need I repeat that these are also SCs, a single one of which takes hundreds or even thousands of attempts to do, the harder ones also including weeks of grinding. No human will ever be able to do this. And see that time estimate? 15.75 hours? Yeah, that probably isn't correct. The rules are also super unclear. Do event towers/steeples count for this category? Do steeples/citadels count at all? Why the hell does it say to use the tower rush when they specifically and intentionally leave out soul crushing towers. This seems like a category that was added with no thought as to whether or not anyone could reasonably do it, or if it was humanly possible (Which I'm sure it is, but good luck to myfart8101 or skitsuna doing that). Another thing, why are there coils and event items options for this? You get kicked if you beat an SC tower with either, so you would need to repeatedly open the same game more than 20 times, and thanks to Roblox's terrible servers, how fast you join back is entirely random. So in conclusion to this rant; All Soul Crushing Towers is a terrible category with no thought put into it whatsoever.
And if you're gonna ask me what I think of All Citadels, that one's still pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as ASCT is, both as a category or a challenge in the first place.
100% Duo literally only exists anymore because me and @aeternae did a run on it. GG pro.
The only one I think should stay with CC usage is Robux Doge, which is and was literally unobtainable without corner clipping.
I feel awful for this, I'm removing myself as mod I don't even know what to say to myself
I regret encouraging farming this honestly. And yes @sfme exactly. To otterstone, if I didn't do this now then it would have removed even more spent time, it's a "now or never" thing. I was considering just abandoning this leaderboard and leaving it to rot because as I've stated multiple times now, no matter how many mods we got, there were too many runs being submitted daily to keep up with. I feel the need to ghost this board now cuz this is definitely gonna start a shit ton of drama that I don't want to deal with but it was gonna happen anyways so what's the point, this is the internet after all where every decision you make will be scrutinized for like a week before people's attention spans switch to something/someone else.
People can still submit their FG runs to sections if they want to. Runs would just endlessly pile up if it stayed as 1980 IL categories no matter how many mods we have.
