Timing rules now say:

"Time starts the frame the black transition thing becomes visible, time ends the frame that points are gained on the first time on the final shot of the run"

Much better than "when you first click the level"

No, YOU spent 23 minutes trying to find a way to do this!

I can just retime it with frame counting, why do I need to have a timer active?

This is literally the equivalent of using cranberry warp and resetting a tower. (Which is banned) ((Meaning this run shouldn't be verified)) (((Because every event items category being 1 millisecond is what you were trying to prevent by banning the cranberry warp reset thingie))) ((((And that's what this run is))))

Just an all stage category would be nice... I'm glad this game is on here though

Risk: 8/10, Enormous time loss if the skip is failed, and this is half way into the game.

Reward: 7/10, saves enough time that it makes a sub-10 minute run potentially possible if factory skip is done in the same run with no deaths.

Difficulty: 6/10

Time save: ~7s at most (over the left side wallhop)

Consistency: Manageable

  1. Are the uncomfortable grunts the characters make allowed to be muted?
  2. Are you allowed to be listening to a different song over it if it doesn't obscure the audio too much?

Are temporary towers allowed in Unlock Ring runs?

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?

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.

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.

Hello, I have FG category ideas for this game :)

and yeah they're all difficulty groups

-4 Basic -4 Average -5 Intermediate (Except its 4 because one is broken rip) -7 Dangerous -9 Intimidating (Not including Cracked Simulator) -5/10/15/17 Grueling (There's enough of these to warrant multiple) -3/5/7 Fatal -3/5 Treacherous (because lets be honest no sane person's gonna do more than 5 in one go)

speaking of which Cracked Simulator shouldn't be on here, everyone has the same time on it.

So thanks to the overwhelming amount of ILs submitted because haha run farming, I was thinking about replacing the IL leaderboard with full sections rather than all 90 levels… this would lower the number of ILs (not IL categories) to around 12-16, there are 800 pending runs right now and that made me realize how bad of an idea this was to make all 90 different. So basically I need some… “permission” of sorts from the run farmers, I know it’s currently run farming week, so I am left with 3 options;

A. Replace the boards immediately

B. Replace the boards upon run week ending so grinders like otterstone don’t end up with a score of -400 for the event

C. Keeping all 90 ILs which I really don’t want to do, it’s creating a ton of unnecessary work for everyone and it’s all because I added 90 ILs to this board.

A world record is physically impossible to get now thanks to the fact that the map is completely rearranged. We should probably have verison leaderboards (and also IL categories so people can run farm :))))))))
