"One thing I don't want is to have my times up on hard and no one to even challenge me for the top spot. The main reason people have been giving for not getting into speedrunning before is that they wouldn't have a chance of competing with my times. Having a bit of competition for my times was really the main reason I am even contemplating this tbh."

That just sounds awful man, I gotta tell you. You seem pissed off that people aren't at your level. Well no, we're not. Not even close. And we may never be. So there.

Anyway. Here is a list of boards that are currently being proposed.

Easy Soviet Campaign Hard Soviet Campaign Easy Allies Campaign Hard Allies Campaign Easy Empire Campaign Hard Empire Campaign Hard Soviet IL Times Hard Allies IL Times Hard Empire IL Times

Can anyone think of any that should be added or abolished?

Regardless, if we do want to give the community the shot in the arm that it needs, we'll need to start looking for new players somewhere, anywhere. Michael, you're more in with the community at large than any of us are, have you got any ideas?

Right so the way Im seeing it now is thus;

• One board each for easy and hard full campaigns

• A leaderboard for the IL times, though im not sure what's available.

OK.

Sorry my last comment sounded confrontational. I just found out all my runs are complete shit. :P

Anyway, there is no reason easy, medium and hard runs can't all co-exist peacefully, though there is the risk that there will become simply far too many catagories. Hard IL's, easy IL's, easy full runs, Hard fully runs and so on.

How would the IL look? Is it possible to make a table for them? Something nice and neat, with links?

Can you admin me for this?

So basically what your saying is - "The aim of the speed run should be what the community decides, so my advice is, do it our way, or im not doing it at all" no disrespect, but doesnt seem particularly diplomatic.

So, the difficulty of the levels shouldnt actually matter. The object is to get from start to finish as fast as possible.

At the moment, your runs are so much faster anyway. You can play on hard if you want. However, if a strat is found that is faster on easy than it is on hard, would you be willing to drop it then?

The rest i agree with. Id be interested to see the allied mission 1 glitch, hopefully it breaks the autoscroller nature of that level.
