New South Wales, AustraliaIm thinking about adding a category for "All hurdles" this should remove most of the cheated runs as completing in 3 seconds isnt possible when you need to jump, what do you guys think?
Hi All,
I received some backlash a while ago for removing the "with mousekeys" category as its simply too hard to tell who is cheating or not without implementing an anti-cheat for this game. That isnt about to happen as it would very quickly kill all runs and newcomers.
However, a user that did not want to be named made a great suggestion to me, separate categories into with and without hurdles.
This way, legitimate runs can jump the hurdles, which would be significantly harder to cheat and those who wish to go as fast as possible, who may or may not be cheating still have their own category.
Please let me know if you like this idea and which you think should be the default category, personally I think that with hurdles should become the default to reintroduce some legitimacy and competition into running this game.
Hi everyone,
OdessaMama has not logged into their speedrun.com account for over 6 months now so I am now also a super mod.
I have removed the with mousekeys category as its imposible to tell if someone cheated due to the simplicity of the game and how easy it is to use macros.
I ahve moved all runs over to the Any% category and re-reviewed all runs, any that have a missing video or only a picture as proof have been removed as the HTML of the page can be easily edited.
Cheating is now ALLOWED, please feel free to re-submit any previously rejected runs that used mousekeys, macros etc.
THe new WR in official category is 1.7 seconds My time of 2.8 was moved to "With mousekeys" because a sub 3 was considered impossible about 10 months ago.
I think the redundant category should be removed and all times moved back to the main leaderboard, or at least be consistent and but the new 1.7 in mousekeys.
So after Grundle, a new player of the game decided to question every run that he couldn't beat, there are now 2 categories.
Mousekeys and non-mousekeys
Non-mousekeys rules state that anything under 4 seconds will be rejected.
This makes no sense to me, I didnt even know mousekeys existed before just now and somehow my run was moved to the mousekeys category and im completely ineligible from the normal category because I can do sub 4 seconds?
If this were anything more important this would be the start of an overthrow of current moderators, theres no rhyme or reason to it and honestly it just seems like pandering to LITERALLY a single person who cannot fathom that people are better than him at something.
Since running fullscreen is required for sub 4 now, it may help people to know that you can run the game without the surrounding garbage if you go to this link, it loads only the game feature and not the rest of the google page.
