I will take note of the possible implementation, but the focus will lie, after the First2Wurst tournament has ended, to get the existing boards up and running proper.

With "new" games, considering it's still a very small community and all, it probably feels a bit crushing if there's 40+ categories for three minigames. We're still figuring out Rotwieners and probably will focus on adding this as a board soon.

But I won't neglect the idea of adding the breach and clear boards. Maybe not with as many categories as suggested here for now, but it'll be on the list.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Hello everyone.

As per question by a few people, I have sat down to consider alpha builds and their impact on leaderboards. With a lot of the alpha changes currently focusing on things in Take and Hold, I sadly will have to disallow the use of them. There's a lot of things that can be rebalanced or changed on the fly between those builds. This leaves a chance of achieving records that could be impossible otherwise.

E.g. The alpha at this time has problems with scoring. But what if it could have an issue with how the time is tracked? Records then could alter to a final build's run, making leaderboards problematic to handle.

E.g.(2) An alpha introduces changes that drastically increase the pacing of a category, but Anton decides to rebalance this. Suddenly, the categories take 30 seconds longer than they did in the alpha, due to said changes.

All alpha scores now would be, worst case, impossible to beat until another major update to Take and Hold can change that.

Of course it's not always that a balance change is reverted. I apologize for the decision made and hope that it's not too much of an inconvenience! Thank you to everyone who's been participating in the boards so far! Keep up going fast!

Breach and Clear can receive a category. Though I will have to sit down and figure out how to do this yet. As for what Qwoko said. Limited/Spawnlocked is in question. But I personally see no reason for 1Hit%.

We have a TON of categories for TnH as is. So I am not too sure as to how "wild" we have to get with them.

For now I don't think it'd be a good idea to allow premature clipping out of the barrier for regardless of the intent. I will have to do some talk with the Rotwieners stuff and see into how Speedrunning was handled there. Gonna try to keep things consistent for then that rolls out.

EDIT February 21st 2021: With the new seed order coming out, the gambling factor has been kind of taken out of the equation. I think it's fair to keep OOB clipping banned for now.

Twin Stick and Arm Swinger boards have been separated due to the considerable time gap the locomotions have.

Hello fellow runners and weiner-shooter persons.

In case people have noticed, or are following, randomly stumble across this page or just happened to be expecting this to be worked on, the time for that has come around.

After applying and being accepted to lead the game into a more active leaderboard, I'm happy to announce that the Take and Hold leaderboards are set up.

There might be a possible change to separate Twin Stick from Arm Swinger, should the submissions for Twin Stick become more frequent. There also will be a board for those that want to take it on themselves to finish Rotwieners too. I am working on getting that set up soon.

Considering this is the first board I moderate, I hope you'll understand that some patience might be needed to properly finish everything and to set it into place. Moderators will be brought on board shortly after this post. Let's get the runs going! Have fun and enjoy, everyone.

Hello SRcom staff!

I would like to request a small change to the H3VR (Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades) game information. It'd be good to add the Minigame/Gamemode category, considering that the game is a series of different maps and gamemodes put into one hub.

Currently there's two gamemodes that speedrun categories are planned for. Thank you!

Heyo.

It recently came to attention in the H3VR (Hot Dogs/Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades) community that there is a SRcom entry here that exists, but has been unattended to ever since. ( https://www.speedrun.com/h3vr ) - The person running it, NaltanHusky, hasn't been online for over a year. The page has an outdated category, no submitted runs and there has been no success in reaching out to said mod on Discord. Considering there is no other moderator, I would like to request to become one to give that game some life and love on here.

I will say, I have no pending run on the board, but this is because of the fact of the heavily outdated ruleset (The game patched -a lot- of things since.) and seeing that the moderator was inactive for a year to begin with.
