Individual runs/categories will have information regarding dives in their rule set if it has an effect on the run.

CESTQUOICA your video is not viewable. I do want you to know that Mods have an ongoing discussion in discord regarding dive runs for both world events and for regular voyages. I'll make sure the information you've shared above is included in that discussion.

To answer all of your questions: Launching a player across the sea is not allowed. Each tall tale has specific rules telling you where you can start it, if you have to be on the boat or island. If the OOB is not to an intended spawn point, it is not accepted, as Sentanel stated in a previous post, MI OOB seems to be a dev intended spawn so it's acceptable. Sword lunging is not a glitch as it is an intended mechanic.

The are "Game Rules" and which are generic for the game, and then to the right of those each category has it's own set of rules as well. You did in fact follow the game rules, however if you look in the "Category Rules" specific for FotD it clearly states that ALL POV's are required.

There is only one person reviewing runs at this time, so verification has been slow as there are some runs that are a bit longer than others.

are you suggesting a speedrun of the full voyage? are there any conditions that you think should be considered such as having the full x map?

This would require that pirates setting foot on the islands have their pov included for verification. What rules/exclusions do you think will be necessary for this type of run to be successful?
