I am extremely unsure how to go about this. I tried making this video, terrible mic quality I don't know how to make it better so I'll write it out.
The simple gist is I think the supermod is retiming all the top times incorrectly on purpose. in the video I show where he had retimed Anwarrior's time to 1:44 and I believe that wasn't his time. The reason is when I posted my legitimate run after the rule change it was retimed to 4 seconds slower than what it should have been. he apologized here>< And still retimed it to be 2 seconds slower.
After I asked him what he was using to retime since the program I had used said 1:43 (KDenLive https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/977718095080718376/991533045184204810/unknown.png?width=132&height=39 )
So he shows me the site he used to retime the runs and even his website said 1:43 (FrameRetimer )
When I showed him that image he said he would retime it again, and he retimed it to 1:44 still one second slower than my actual time.
And to explain how timing works its when your white cursor appears after skipping the cutscene and the time ends "when the man leaves" a thread was made to try to "define" when the man leaves here>https://www.speedrun.com/the_man_from_the_window/thread/qr2ah<
He replied with two things that can indicate the time ending. "A: you don't hear his footsteps and that counts as time, or B: you don't see anything besides of black which also counts as time." But these happen simultaneously and if they don't the few times it should not be decided upon which determines your time like a coin flip.
I'm sorry if this is not what I should do in terms of speaking about it but I'm unsure where I'd say anything, words are really hard y'know.
He may not be retiming runs wrong on purpose, those rules for the end is very ambiguous although it is somewhat obvious when the run ends, when watching it, because the audio stops, but when going though the frames on YouTube you don't get the audio. Maybe the rules should be updated for the times
What run(s) can we retime ourselves to prove someone wrong?
https://www.speedrun.com/the_man_from_the_window/run/z52w4w5z: Listed as 1:43(currently); Should be 1:44 (so the original retime was correct but he then just changed it?)

All times are based on when the white cursor appears like in the rules and the time ends when the screen fully fades to black. All times were timed through the website he stated he uses.
So some guy joins the discord asking if its fun to run the game and within moments says he has the record (and it wasn't even in the bragging channel smh)
then he mentions Anwarrior told him the "route" (I forgot what the original message said since he did edit the end of it to say instead "anwarrior made the route btw")
So clearly it's his friend and he admits to being in the background of the video.
And this is the "run"
And this is what the timing website says
I Just find it extremely suspicious that Anwarrior gets the time he wants then in the same day has his friend come in and take the world record 3 seconds ahead also while mentioning smurfing in the same video. It's just weird.
Like I said I don't know, I don't know if there is like an actual report place. The only reason I timed it when the screen fades to black is because you can't hear the footsteps very well going frame by frame. but if I take my run and put it in KDenLive to see when the final foot step sound is made it still says faster than what the mod listed.
