Recruitment for minesweeper moderators has started. If you wish to help and become a moderator please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1n6dawUph9rB2Id4bKvVSJl3C-bP7iOQ1vxrceMQRyls You will be contacted soon after that to work out the details. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me on Discord (Maltaran#6060) or speedrun.com ( @Maltaran ) or any other minesweeper moderator.

The rules have received a few minor changes. Most of them are clarifications and special cases of the rules that already existed. Most important to notice are:

• For all future runs, the video recording must include:

• The moment of clicking "new game" button/face.
• The end-game/"you won" screen (if the version of minesweeper you are using has one).
• Not covered by anything else, view of the completed board.

• If you are playing on browser, the video or description must also include a full link/address of the website you are currently on.

• Especially on minesweeper.online, link to your replay must be included.

• The rules of timing have also been clarified.

Additional information and interpretations of the rules can be found at: https://www.speedrun.com/minesweeper/guide/aupit

This game desperately needs new moderators, as current ones are not really interested in it and it has multiple problems that need to be fixed.

I am a moderator in game that definitely needs a rule change, so the players must show the moment of starting a new game (previously some players were starting recording from main gameplay as it's when the timing starts). It is required because then it can be seen if the player used some option which was technically not allowed even earlier, but otherwise there is no way to tell if the player used it. So here comes my question: Is it fair to reject old runs which do not follow the new rule? Because it also wouldn't be okay to keep them but reject new runs that break it.

Categories are going to be reorganised since they are understood differently by each runner. For example, Intermediate was being understood as "One suit/Intermediate", "Two suits/Easy" or "Two suits/Intermediate". Also, there should be added "random" category for non Solitaire Collection players.

My idea is to leave current categories (specifying in rules that they all refer to one suit) and add "One suit", "Two suits" and "Four suits" where if you play on Solitaire Collection, you must play on random difficulty for example for Windows 7 players (believe me, I know decent amount of people who are still using Windows 7).

What do you think about it? Or do you have any other ideas for categories?

Hello I'm currently starting to get into the Windows series ( https://www.speedrun.com/windows ). This series is made for Windows system games (and Windows 10 Solitaire Collection as it's a direct continuation of the solitaire from previous systems). But there is problem with @Otterstone_Gamer who is using this series to add Microsoft-related games which were never added to Windows sysem (like https://www.speedrun.com/microsoft_sudoku ). Some of his games have already been removed from Windows series ( https://www.speedrun.com/tetris_for_windows ). It would be quite ok except that in these games there is only one @Otterstone_Gamer 's run and has no interest either his and other runners. As it is said in many other posts, each game on speedrun.com has real maintance cost, so because of games added by @Otterstone_Gamer, many other good and speedrunnable games requested by not-moderators are getting rejected.

If anyone is still playing Happyland Adventures, I have a question. On other forum posts there is said a lot about 1.3.1 version which I have doubts about whether it exists at all. Download links for 1.3.1 version actually lead to exactly the same game as 1.3 version (file sizes exactly the same) and in game there is written "version 1.3". Moreover, on official website there has never been released 1.3.1 version (you can chech with archive.org). So, my question is: Does anyone has a proof that 1.3 and 1.3.1 are not the same?

When I am adding my zip to resources, site automatically change its extension to lss. WHY? https://www.speedrun.com/mad_tracks/resources

Drodzy moderatorzy W zasadach napisaliście tylko, że o czasie decyduje timer z gry.

Jednak jest kilka nieuwzględnionych kwestii, więc mam takie pytania:

• Czy można na danej trasie jechać samochodami szybszymi niż w przygodzie na tej trasie (np. SS zamiast Lekkim)?
• Czy można grać na nie-wygranym profilu z odblokowanymi nie wszystkimi bonusami (np. tylko turbo oprócz dwóch posiadanych od początku)?
• Czy można modyfikować plik zapisu gry?

Ponieważ nie ma tego w zasadach, powinienem uznać, że można (no może poza tym trzecim), ale pozwoliłoby to mi pobić rekordy na niektórych trasach z bardzo dużą przewagą.

(Pytam oczywiście o rekordy tras, nie całej gry)
