Tasmania, AustraliaI've came to a realization. It's slightly understandable that the main game runs have been purged as there's no longer a perks and no perks category for the main game runs. But the individual hour run categories are exactly the same. I'm curious what individual hour rules changed in order for all of the individual hour runs to be purged? And even if they're verified wrong can't you reverify them so their timings on the leaderboard adapt to these new rules you have placed?
Ah I seee, ye I do remember the old mods being a little inadequate at their jobs. I do have quite a bit of runs on youtube but I'll start getting back into the game and grinding.
Almost every category was populated by 1 to 4 runs. What happened?
Could we have a level leaderboard like in Toxic 2 or like most other Nitrome games?
Figured it won't be too harmful adding it in.
Hey I'm making a thread to see if the multiplayer for Slendytubbies 2 and 3 is still functioning. I tried Slendytubbies 2 multiplayer but I couldn't connect to any server as it said it was full or something else. I tried Slendytubbies 3 multiplayer but the connecting loading screen took about 10 minutes before I finally closed the game.
I'm unsure why these things are happening but if you have some insight or some experiences to share with this recent problem then I'd be happy to listen.
Cheers,
Yeah I'm very unsure of any reason to have collect 1. Doesn't add really anything compared to collect 5 which has enough content to be enjoyable.
Yo Slendytubbies first game ever to incorporate runner of the month?
I doubt Carll will ever be removed as he is not only a super mod but is also friends with the only other super mod. Although Carll is not the most ideal moderator nothing will really happen/change if he's removed as Carll doesn't really do anything anyway.
As for the idea of you being a moderator, I wouldn't mind it. As long as you are familiar with the average video editing software where you can check speedruns frame by frame. Although sadly I can't really enlist you as a moderator to share the load of work as I'm just a mod, not a super mod.
It's all up to Oskarr.
As I've stated before there are rules in New Game + that contradicts two of your submitted runs which I'm unsure whether it was you or Melon who made them. And there is a clear lack of rules like you said that affects Perks and No Perks.
As both of you are moderators I'm expecting you all to make sure the rules for every category and sub-category exists and is correct. Whether I have enough time to actually beat your record or not is irrelevant as the rules will still remain the same, with me as the one slipping through the rule's grasp.
I wish you all the best of luck for your moderating careers and I hope you improve this speedrunning community as a whole.
If we keep pretending all categories are the same then it devalues the point of having them. They all are completely different with new game + skipping out on an entire section that Any% players have to go through and with perks you can speed up the game tremendously. And the reason why I assume you're insstaa's "friend" is that he has the role of a mod which there are only 2 ways of gaining the mod status which are: 1.If the moderator for this game hasn't submitted any pending runs for over a month which then you can talk with the Speedrun.com staff and get a mod role so then you can be the one to submit runs. Or 2. You've been entrusted with the moderator role by a Super Mod as you're seen/known as being capable of being a moderator. I've got a strange guess that you were the one to gift him that moderator role but it's rather irrevelant.
What's the most important thing I've discovered is that the rules for New Game + is this: "Timing starts on starting Hour 1 and ends on the final generator exploding in Finale." Now you've made these rules and Insstaa has gotten away with submitting 2 runs that contradicts these rules. I'm not sure why you're now against these rules considering you were the only one to make them. Another flaw I've found is that No Perks and Perks have technically absolutely no rules applied to them that I can see.
The only thing I truly want from this is for you to fix the rules so they don't contradict with Insstaa's runs and add more rules so categories won't be so vague (if you have the time.)
Peace
I have a couple problems with this.
Just because someone gets a WR in an easier category that also beats the time in a completely different/ harder category doesn't mean that they also get the WR for that category. To complete a no perks run, you must complete a run using no perks. To complete a perks run, you must complete a run while using perks. If you're allowed to get away with using perks in a no perks run or using no perks for a perks run then what's the point of having those sub-categories in the first place?
And the same goes for any% and New Game +. Why have those categories at all then if you can submit any run there? Justifying it because of difficulty doesn't make it right. We have separate categories because we want different challenges to speedrun. If any run can be anywhere then we have no need for additional categories at all and we can in fact just stick to one.
I would much appreciate it that you fix/add the rules for each category so they reflect what you truly think would go there. Also this isn't the first time someone has gotten a WR run on an easier category that beats a harder category with this example being Blaziken's Hour 1 no perks run that's 200ms faster than his Hour 1 perks run which makes me question why he wasn't received the same treatment as Insstaa here? As a moderator I can kinda understand the concept of stretching the very vague rules a bit for a friend but if we can't follow the rules then why have them at all, yeah?
Insstaa's submitted videos on any% perks, any% no perks, New Game + perks & New Game + No perks are all the exact same video. I don't need to explain why this is obviously wrong but I'm curious on how it even happened in the first place.
If the moderators are having trouble with verifying runs correctly or they simply don't have enough time to make sure runs are in the correct categories then I heavily suggest they enlist more moderators to help.
The mods were rather active when I was doing some runs for this game as all my runs got submitted under a couple days. I'm guessing they would still remain as active. As for the lack of active members, the speedrunning community for this game is rather small so it isn't going to be as competitive as a lot of other speedrunning communities. That and there isn't a very diverse range of categories to speedrun and there isn't too many techniques to spice runs up. (One way to fix some problems would be to add the Hell's Carnival category plz mods.)
My excuse for not speedrunning this game often is just that I'm busy studying for college.
Yeah having to also use a second controller with your feet doesn't make it very enjoyable
