Quick tip: The ghost shelf activates when two books are off the shelf, including the one at the bottom of the box.

Aww thanks, Jay!

Rice God: hi_im_airman, with a time of 4:33.67

Runners-up: Jaychalke and HowDenKing

Thanks for taking a part and helping us feed more people :D

Shoutout to Jaychalke and HowDenKing for each contributing 1,000 more grains to our total (26,900 grains)! All times have been verified in descending order, so both of you are featured on the record graph for English Grammar.

For next time, I'll definitely put current records out for people to see as the challenge progresses. Any other feedback?

Challenge is over! The Rice God for this challenge is ¤hi_im_airman¤!!! He earned 1000 grains of rice in English, Grammar in 4:33.67!

Yep!

By the way, this challenge is still open for anyone else who wants to join! I'll let you know when it closes and who the winner is :D

I'll do it for accuracy -- but I'll leave this up for some time in case you want to change anything.

@MasterFocus would you like me to correct S4m's score to 15.650 before verifying your run?

Hey Racingmonster, I've seen some of your stuff lately and I really hope things get better. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, you've got the speedrunning community at your side :)

Challenge #1: https://www.speedrun.com/Free_Rice#English

I'm SUPER PROUD to announce that our community of runners has already fed a person on freerice.com!!!

In honor of this milestone, I challenge you to show us what you got in the name of good grammar! You have until Sunday 11:59pm to submit a 1,000 grain run in English, Grammar. Winner (the fastest) will be forever be remembered as a God in a new "CHALLENGE HALL OF FAME," to be maintained in the page forum and reposted for all to see in subsequent challenges. Where mortals will become Rice Gods: https://www.speedrun.com/Free_Rice/thread/txr09

Also best rice pun in the comments wins my love

Edit: Make sure you play on English Grammar (not Vocabulary)!

Hey, Jay! I saw you were fixing up the Golf It page and noticed that your badges aren't on a transparent background. In case you were looking for a way to do it: http://www166.lunapic.com/editor/?action=transparent That site works wonders -- I did it for my rice piles just last week. Good luck!

Sidenote: Changing pictures on this site is a little weird. Once you do it, give the site some time to process the new pictures if they don't show up when you reload the page.

Also, your runs with the facecam and music make them really fun to watch. Awesome job!

Hey guys,

I have reason to believe that a user submitted automated runs. I verified them before thinking about it. Please check out the new records and let me know what you think.

I'm going to change the rules to ensure that a cursor is visible on the screen. This means that nobody can submit a run recorded on mobile (despite how fast it could be). Does this make sense to do?

Haha sure, that works for me! Do as many runs as you want :D

If you want to run shorter games (20 minutes or less), I have a great list for you!

Currently, I'm trying to get more runners for Free Rice: https://www.speedrun.com/Free_Rice The site donates rice to people in need for every correct question you answer. Join us!

For more clarity -- it takes kirkq about 3-4 hours to process 170 game requests. He does it almost every day and does the best he can. It usually takes him about 2 weeks to get to your request.

At this point, kirkq should write up a guideline for others to work on game requests in a small group (led by him). Still being patient on that :)

Update October 2018: Forgot to thank yall for adding this feature at speedrun.com/help -- much appreciated!

FAQ should definitely be on the nav bar. ROMaster2, can you add that to the Feedback thread? We have so many incoming users and this would help lower the learning curve.

We should also open up writing the FAQ with all of its different categories to the users that know this site really well (you know who you are) -- yall have specific knowledge of how this site is best utilized and can save us from a lot of newbie questions on the forum. I would just start writing one in a google doc together and send it to kirkq for review.

Hey Jay and Airman! So I've been playing around with the front page for a while now, and its a bit tricky.

To get a run on the front page, it has to be processed rather quickly. When you submit a run, it gets added to a queue of run submissions in the order that they are submitted -- so even though I'll verify it later in the day, a bunch of other runs may be submitted and verified as well, pushing your Free Rice run off the page. I've tried editing the date element on each run and I'm not sure if that works... while I don't see the runs on my home page when I log out, the # of run views has jumped up by 13 since this morning.

Also, just to see what would happen, I copied one of each of your runs, submitted, and verified it (with your name on it). That actually worked; they are the only run that showed up on the home page. Is it all right if I keep doing that, so I know runs are showing up?

I'm also having that problem -- can you describe how you fixed it?
