Texas, USAhello
i've been retired from speedrunning for years so i pretty much come here only to promote people to supermod at their request basically
with that being said, zironic is now a supermod and scy is now a verifier
have fun kthxbye
(also please don't try to contact me for verifying runs, instead you should contact zironic/scy/whoever else is active)
This game is suddenly picking up popularity as we were featured in the EZScape video, so I'm going to open up mod positions. Just say why you want to be one in the comments, maybe include any runs you've done, and any past moderator experience. You should know how to retime runs if needed (adding/subtracting milliseconds from the time by counting frames on Youtube by pressing "," and ".").
Is this what ROBLOX speedrunning has come to?
Yes, you heard that right. You either know me from my time here as a moderator of different games, my most recent runs in John Doe: The Reawakening, How Smart Are You?, or you don't, because you're new here, in which I bid you a welcome.
My first reason is because of my computer. It gets older and different things take up more space, so things (especially applications that are kinda laggy) get harder to speedrun, as you need to run Roblox, Llanfair, and QuickTime Player all at the same time. My computer just can't handle it.
Secondly, speedrunning is a very draining and tiring progress, and that's just fact. When you're trying to improve your runs on a computer that can't handle three bulky apps at the same time over and over again, it get boring, monotonous, etc.
This is generally the reason why I'm resigning from speedrunning. Feel free to beat any of my records if you want, just don't delete them from the leaderboards please. And I will definitely come back if I can, this isn't permanent. Shoutouts to TheBronzeSword, camelogical, Overworld, Ghost, Yogurt, Flutter, and TechNation. Ro-speedrunning wouldn't be the same without them.
Thank you for the wonderful times I've had here. I wish you all with good RNG, take care, and goodbye.
When you've run out of games to speedrun so you decide to spend your time to play this...
I didn't make it because I figured someone would've beaten me to it. My category requests is "All Cassettes", and all (or at least some) of the badges. I might do a run once I get comfortable with this game.
I think we, as a community, should make a ROBLOX game. By speedrunners, for speedrunners. It would probably be a platformer and definitely speedrun-friendly (as in things like having an in-game timer). Thoughts?
Here's a new leaderboard update, intended to make navigation smoother. As of the time of this post, the update has not completely rolled out yet, so bear with us. I have also decided that Any% NG+ will be kept.
If your video was somehow lost in this update, please re-upload your video to the corresponding category.
- “All Checkpoints” has been renamed to “100%”
- “All Stages, No Checkpoints” has been renamed to “99%” (Reason: You’re not hitting the checkpoints, which takes away a small fraction of the game)
- “Any% - Gear” is now a standalone category, renamed as “Modified any%”
- “Any% - No Gear” is now a standalone category, renamed as “any%"
- "Any% NG+" has been added to “Modified any%” as a subcategory of “Paths”
- “Modified any%” will also have a “No Paths” subcategory
- "Paths" (subcategory of Modified any%) will no longer accept runs that use items besides paths. My reasoning for this is because you could easily get a double-WR because you upload to both "Paths" and "No Paths".
- Categories remaining in "Miscellaneous" have been fused into one category - "Directional". The remaining categories will act as subcategories.
- Updated various rules so they matched up with the present terminology.
I see what you mean by when I mis-timed it. I guess it's fine, I'll eventually either re-run it or change the time so it matches.
Today I'm going to clarify some rules for any% in terms of when to start/stop timer. I'll be making a video later today to help point out when the timer starts and stops.
The timer starts after the player has clicked "Return to Planet Earth" and the screen turns completely black.
The timer stops once the player has made contact with the ship, and pixels of the character are touching it. Basically, the timer stops once the player can no longer move.
Also, there are 3 milliseconds in a frame. For each frame you miss, 3 milliseconds will either be added/subtracted from your time, depending on if you missed frames in the beginning or end.
I want to try and pick a time where most people are available for it, so what day(s) are you available for? Personally, it would be a good idea if it took place on the weekend (preferably Saturday, but it's fine if it happens on late Friday/Sunday).
Tried doing a Banned% run and used TempMail, it didn't work.
My idea is that we create a Discord or something, and people pick a ROBLOX game to run live on a certain date.
No reason why, I just want to see people speedrunning an online quiz about safety.
I added him as a mod because he has done a lot of speedruns for Roblox and especially this specific place.
Reasoning: It's just Any% with paths, there's no need for two separate categories.
I posted this in another thread, but I want to sticky this so everyone can see this and we can decide on if we want to keep these changes or not.
- All Stages Intended (ASI) will be renamed to All Checkpoints.
- All Stages will be renamed to All Stages, No Checkpoints. ¤ You can no longer use items AS,NC (reason: it was a boring version of Any%) ¤ You are also not required to hit any checkpoints, as the name suggests.
- Reorganized the leaderboards so that you see All Checkpoints/ASI first instead of Any%.
- I will start a thread poll on whether or not we should delete Any% NG+, (reason: it's just Any% plus paths, there's no need for a separate category)
I am asking for permission to become moderator of the ROBLOX series. I am experienced in ROBLOX moderation, as I am moderator in two games.
