Hey everyone, so myself and a few others in the farming community have decided to put together an event to boost the activity of smaller, lesser known games on the site, as well games with empty categories. Over the course of this next coming week (December 19th-26th), we will be tracking the amount of runs which are submitted by users who decide to participate, and see who can rack up the most runs over this time period. It's going to be a fun event that anyone and everyone can jump in on, and there's no minimum to the amount of runs you can submit either, so this should be a great opportunity to test games outside of your comfort zone.
What we do not allow: WE DO NOT ALLOW OR APPROVE OF SPAM SUBMISSIONS OF ANY KIND!!!! We will be tracking submissions for users competing in this event, so if we find any sort of spam, you will be removed from the event. We also do not prefer to have hoarding at the start of the event. We do have methods to catch hoarders, and if caught, will have those runs removed from the count.
I hope users here find interest in testing out some new genres of games over the week, and give the event a shot. On the 16th, I will be posting a comprehensive spreadsheet of about 200ish games which consists mainly of categories under 3 minutes each. Some titles on this list include: the "Mini" series (most popular series for run grinders recently), Gravity box, Leps World and more, and will also consist of games across multiple platforms (and some emulator-supported games).

Mod farming has been quite an issue lately. Besides the point that it annoys everyone on the site that users are asking for mod in tens (sometimes hundreds) of game forums, but some mod farmers have been requesting very low quality games with a high number of categories to try to get a certain community to run their games. It's getting to the point that these games and users should be looked into further.
Maybe a ban isn't warranted, but a more strict game request system for users who have a history of requesting questions games, and a warning system for users who spam forums, would be a nice addition to the site.
Thank you for pointing out this run, we will remove it from the board, and take steps to prevent this from happening again.
This is because of a glitch in a previous version of the game. Due to the ending of the task being trivial (it's different between completing the first engine and second engine), it would be unfair to retime this way, as every run would stop timing in slightly different points. We do allow reverting game versions, which is what is required to obtain the record for this category, as well as a few others.
You should play seterra, I heard from a friend of a friend that it's a good game.
If you want a very obscure game with few runs, here's a game that can (apparently) only be ran on airplane seats.
