No one but MrLlamaSC was for this so near unanimously the rules stay as they are: All missions in the campaign must be completed.

My apologies, I've been rather busy these past few days along with moderating some other games but I intend to get it finished by the end of tomorrow.

I actually have noticed your streams for the Gem Tower Defense. I think that might be better suited for its own game on the site as it'd be considered a custom map/modification. I can have that created soon.

I think there's enough testimonies to remove you from the site. As for your Spyro 2 run, with the video deleted I think they'll remove it shortly.

He's been removed. Contact Scypher to help repair the leaderboard as I'm not experienced with the game to even try to help.

If it's not on the site, have a run of it yourself and make a game request here: https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame

It's GDQ time folks, the site isn't going to be functioning as well as usual so most bug reports don't need to be mentioned.

In the future I may be able to write something for LiveSplit to record in-game time; that'll let you know when there's lag.

Without using the API I'm afraid not, although it's on the list of things to-do.

You can use https://www.speedrun.com/api_records.php if you really need it, just amend the url.

I'll respond despite being an old thread.

The entire Command & Conquer series can be bought on Origin. The usual price is $20 but it often goes on sale for $5. https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-the-ultimate-collection/ultimate-collection Unfortunately, the series isn't on GOG. I do NOT recommend buying the games from the Steam store, even if you hate EA [small][small]like me[/small][/small], as you pay substantially more for less games.

oddtom posted the link to the original Warcraft games, and the original StarCraft can be played for free now: https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/starcraft Warcraft III and StarCraft 2 are found in the Blizzard store.

Other Real-time strategies available are Age of Empires II, Halo Wars, Rise of Nations, Stronghold, Army Men: RTS, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, Populous, Act of War, Total Annihilation, 8-Bit Armies, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Homeworld, The Settlers, Knights and Merchants, Majesty, Company of Heroes, and Empire of Earth.

Hope that helps.

@Racingmonster you weren't ever in consideration for promotions of any kind and you most certainly won't be now.

Done. Get a run in and I'll make you super.

I've been thinking for a while how long an "All Achievements" tool-assisted speedrun would take and how it'd be calculated.

There's several complexities to account for: • RNG (Golden/Wrath Cookies, Wrinklers and their Halloween drops, etc). Effective rates can be used to estimate when to purchase their upgrades. Beyond their achievements they mainly serve to accelerate CpS and shouldn't be relied on too heavily. • Finding the best times to ascend. To optimally find the best time you'd have to crunch at what point does ascending bring in more CpS than staying course. There's also some important heavenly upgrades. • Timing achievements for milk. Sometimes it may be worth the brief penalty to get an achievement and increase the milk multiplier. • When to use what Dragon bonuses and knowing when switching is worth the penalty.

Beyond those it's fairly straight-forward. It'd probably be best to get Neverclick and Hardcore immediately; after that see which (future) upgrades bring in the fastest return on investment. Setting the clock to the Christmas season will help since those upgrades are really useful in the long run. Have the auto-clicker at a reasonable clamp. The world record speed for clicking is a little over 40 so it shouldn't be higher than that.

It's best to exclude shadow achievements or else we'd be stuck waiting for a shiny wrinkler and ascending a stupid amount.

Let's be honest, barely anyone actually notices the resources and guides page. You're more likely to get something noticed by posting it in the forums.

Hundreds of mistakes? You're already doing better than most. :p

It's perfectly normal to make mistakes, especially when learning a new game, regardless of what anyone might say. You're looking to improve your game, after all. If the community is helpful, you can ask them what their strats are or have them check what you're doing wrong and tell you the correct method.

I've been meaning to fix the genre problem for some time. Fixing Developers and Publishers will be a whole lot more difficult.

I'll leave it to the moderators to decide the name change by the time it's released. They could add on (Beta) or similar to the end of it. There's too many runs to justify removing the boards.

Depending on how different it is it'll justify its own game.
