i haven't logged in here for a while but i´d like to share my thoughts tho.

First of all the chinese runners haven't been around that long and i´m really glad to see more of them run NES games.

Then back to the discussion here. lets just see how this looks like. top two runners are really close and theres been a decision to have live stream attempt required for a legit WR time without talking to the chinese runner, he could have run this game for years and with new rule this the community straight up call him a cheater which i see as very disrespectful to him without even talking to him. that is the thing that bothers me most that not even the record holder was contacted for the decision. as mentioned earlier its very hard for chinese players to stream and this will prolly make him not submit more runs. all the speculations in the chats calling the chinese hacks and cheaters is just really low imo since theres nothing to back it up with and he hasn't had a chance to defend himself. then what the requirements are: cam on the person that plays, people in the chat etc? if you going that direction that must be a requirement or else who the hell know who's playing? we mostly know each other around the community and if anyone else but the chinese guy would have submitted a offline record no one wouldnt even bother. but now its a new person that we don't know and immediately setting up new rules it seems like a poor attempt to not call him out as a cheater. why wasnt he contacted? that is my question doesnt he have a youtube channel where you can commment? theres no excuses for not getting in touch with him. this gives the nes community a bad reputation from a chinese point of view. the other games doest matter if they do require live streaming its not the point here. the point is that if this guy love running nes games you should let him do it his way. there must be ways to look up if a run is legit if you have doubts about it, and that should be the better approach. and if the mods are unsure of how to do that, let someone that has the knowledge do so. SDA has verified runs for many many years and from what i heard its not that hard to see if its a TAS or a spliced run.

i really hope this doesnt scare chinese runners away if it would have been me i wouldnt have submitted anything else.

time to contact him and hear his thoughts.

robo warrior should be 45min not 40min i posted it in one of the other threads that i submitted wrong, thanks

photo requirement make sense, its much easier to see if the right person wearing it or if anyone lost it. also i´m not sure how serious of a photo it would be by looking at the example, not so much :p

ALKO: since you are not able to answer a easy question without trying to make fun of it i don't see how your post is helping here. this is why i stay away from forums and will do so in he future also. next time if i wanna ask ESA anything i will contact someone in the staff to ignore people like you.

Thanks for the explanation edenal.

tho i still don't understand why your full name is required if you have a foto to be identified with on the badge. "Confidentiality: Your real name and photo will not be shared with anyone outside of the staff." how would that not be shared outside the staff when any attendee can see it or if you somehow loose it. anyways not gonna question it more since its optional and you get wristbands (which i thought was being replaced with the lanyard) i´m clearly not gonna get one since i have my reasons not to share my name with 200 people.

theres a reason i don't have my real name anywhere in my info so if thats a requirement to get a lanyard you can keep it :D

so if you don't want head photo or real name and just nickname you can't have a lanyard?

i jus noticed i put in he wrong estimate for my robo warrior submission, its 45min not 40

snes games in the middle of "nes blocks" and nes games spread out here and there all by them self. well i read ¤We have more to add but Joka is hungover, bang is gone and flicky has to work¤ assuming the schedule was done the day before joka should have been drunk, bang was gone and flicky was at work i´d say missing a few games here and there and typos is still really impressive! hangover times on schedule this year also hype! http://imgur.com/xz2icNu
