Might be different depending on the game you're playing, but it's just a type of transition where one image is "wiped" over the other in a specific direction, like a vehicle wiper. It happens in film as well.

Alternatively, the verb "to wipe" may be referring to the death of the player, or the death of all enemies on the screen mentioned ("wiping them off the field").

@Pear No need, this is a thing that's applicable to OBS, LiveSplit, and fullscreen games.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer off the top of my head, but it's definitely been answered multiple times before on the forum, you might want to try googling with "site: speedrun.com" at the end of your search.

As @Komrade suggests, these events are few and far between, meaning they're dealt on an individual basis with respect given to specific circumstances. lt's just uncommon.

It's also possible you accidentally switched to a different time comparison like best times instead of something that would reflect your personal best or previous run.

This was my first time learning a game, and while I was nowhere near top times at that point, I had a lot of fun. After many years of inactivity on my part, I'm once again far from the top—though only because others have carried on the baton, lowering the record.

[quote=1]since Windows uses \r\n instead of \n[/quote]

Curious, as someone unfamiliar with this, what would this impact?

My impression is that before arriving to speedrun.com, ELO already had their own preferred methods for contact/feedback/etc. (This is me hypothesizing with zero evidence, but we could see if ELO uses similar methods with its other websites).

In any case, it's easier to organize data through Google Forms than manually sorting through a long forum post; that's likely another factor.

This is a question determined by individual leaderboards, please repeat your question at the game's forum.

@Oreo321 At the least, it could be smaller and flatter and maybe hide when it's blocking things like the textbox. The implementation of the banner is hardly perfect; on posts with a page select, the currently selected page shows up in front of the banner.

There can't be that many active male members from Georgia, can there?

Doesn't seem fake to me; a chance for gift cards in exchange for filling out a survey is nothing new.

Third account? That was the fourth...

Related question for anyone with the site: are IP bans a thing here?

@runnerbash Thanks for the apology.

You all have done valiant work keeping the site running well; it'll be sad to see you go. Take some time off!

Hey, everyone starts somewhere. Though I would certainly revise this with loads more "show, not tell" (letting readers infer character beliefs from their actions, so characters don't have to tell readers why they're doing things).

Unfortunately, one can't get first place themselves by impersonating @sladke and submitting their runs as your own.

Unless you are @sladke, in which case congrats on already being first.

The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased) is intended or should be inferred. cough cough

You'd be better off asking your friends to act. Since you aren't willing to pay for professional talent, you'll only have amateur actors, who'll need an incentive to participate, and friends will be more interested than the rest of us, who don't know what your game is about.

In the future, go to the appropriate leaderboard on the game's page, select Filter -> Obsoleted Runs -> Shown and look for your run.

The site moderators do not actively moderate the forums, so you wouldn't gain much by asking them. Most users aren't toxic here, and those that are get reported by other users via the Support Hub. Simple as that.
