Real Time is the "default" that every game starts off with, and any other time (like In-game for GOI or loadless for other games) is an additional timing method you can add. Unfortunatelly, since Real time is the default you're not allowed to delete it since, I guess that's how the site was coded. Kind of a bummer since it's confusing to have two time inputs on the submission, yet having only real time would make it unclear as to which time to enter - one from an external timer or the one from the game.

Don't know who said there aren't any glitches changing the outcome of the run, we've known about warp glitches like that for ages. The barrel glitch referred to in the rules works similarly and was discovered almost a year ago.

I find it funny you don't see the point of the post since you are/were a proponent of space%

It's just another way to play the game that, as far as I know, nobody has thought of before.

Tairoon has updated the autosplitter so you don't need to do what I wrote above anymore. Can just enable the regular one in the splits editor.

Sorry about the delay, I've messaged Tairoon about updating the autosplitter to the current version. Right now you can use the one linked by quivers. To enable it do the following:

• Assuming you're using the autosplitter that is automatically downloaded when you set the game in livesplit, open up livesplit and go to the splits editor by right clicking on Livesplit and pressing "edit splits"
• Click Deactivate
• Close the splits editor and right click Livesplit again. This time open the Layout Editor by clicking "edit layout"
• Press the + button and add a scriptable auto splitter via Control -> Scriptable Auto Splitter.
• Double click on the Scriptable Auto Splitter entry. This should open a window where you can browse and select the downloaded file.
• Press the OK button and it should work.

No. For a short time we allowed people to use a mod developed by AS13B. The mod was originally made for save states, it'd move you anywhere on the map.

The idea was to use that mod to allow instant restarts via a save state that mimics the position when you start the game, but it turns out doing this changed the physics so that they were slightly more slippery which meant it was harder to get stuck on things making runs a lot more consistent. All of this was made pointless anyway with the introduction of instant restart into the game by Bennett.

And just to make it fully clear, yes you're allowed to use instant restart in runs. :p

Hmm, couple of problems with this. One is obviously that splits aren't really levels, but stranger things have happened on speedrun.com than someone misusing a section for what it isn't intended. I think the biggest issue with this is it'd be very hard to enforce where a certain "level" starts and ends. The autosplitter is very easy to edit with just a text editor. It might not sound like a big deal, but imagine a situation where someone just barely beats the WR for a split and then someone accuses them of cheating. And there's also no way of running just a single section of the level. The save state mod is obviously not allowed since the last time we allowed it for restarts we realised it changed the physics. This means that most PBs would just be from regular run attempts.

I think it's a great idea to keep track of WR split times, but perhaps just a thread on the forum or a google document might suffice for that.

Yes, the current autosplitter is for the old version. I'm not sure when the auto-downloaded one will get updated as Tairoon is in charge of that, but it shouldn't take too long.

In the meantime there is a version that works in the discord that you can get to via the link on the left side of this web page.

I still don't appreciate you implying we've never responded to the different category ideas Sen.

I'm not entirely sure why this category idea is even being discussed. As far as I know there have been no map mods at all, let alone one that'd mirror the normal map, so while it might be interesting to imagine a category like this it's just not possible right now.

Was another thread for this necessary?

This reply will be more or less the same as the one I gave to Sen in the thread "Could a category extension of Getting Over It be a thing?" so I'll keep it brief. You personally showed interest in running space% (Even though you don't have a single space% run on your channel), so have a handful of people in the other thread, but in reality it's hard to gauge the interest in such a category when interest seems to pick up quickly, then dies off as fast as it appeared when it doesn't get added to the board. If the run was a fun thing to do and was worth running, more people would be running it. Right now this comes off as a niche that is momentarily brought to life every once in a while, then dropped again in favour of just running the game normally.

While I haven't formally suggested a category extensions board, I did ask one of the site's full moderators whether one makes sense for this game and if it'd get accepted. It was heavily implied that the way the category extension boards are used now (for novelty or "meme" runs) is not what they were originally meant for and might get phased out for a better solution down the line. With that in mind it was instead suggested that any runs that might not be suitable for the front page get added under "miscellaneous" instead. As for actually adding more categories, I'll go into more detail about, specifically getting to the easter egg as a category now.

@Sen Yes there are two threads about the sexy hiking easter egg. One of the threads was made by you, had 3 replies, one of which pointed you to the original thread, another being a reply by yourself. The original thread has a mere three people directly expressing interest in running the category. Now compare that to Snake% which had 60+ people voting "I would run this if it was on the leaderboard". Of course we now know that it "only has 38 verified runs in total" and the decision to include it as a category has been brought into question before. So keep in mind that a lot of people like to express interest in something that they might later not follow up on, as shown by snake%, and that we've had only around 10 people show interest in running a category based around getting to the easter egg in the entire lifetime of the game.

Some of those people probably aren't even running the game anymore. This has always been a very niche suggestion, something not a lot of people have been doing, so we do not see a reason to add it as a category. This was explained, albeit in a less detailed way, by Tairoon in the original sexy hiking thread so I don't appreciate you implying the mods have not responded already. If you find it a fun category then by all means run it. You don't need a leaderboard for that. Even if you do, it doesn't need to be on speedrun.com yet. Maybe if you run it, more people see it, someone even keeps track of a couple times, you can show that I'm wrong and, actually, people do want to run it. After all, that's what we did for the base game before we had a speedrun.com page.

Buckiize was watching the stream and brought attention to it. I clipped it as it was quite a big deal. The first time we saw such a glitch was possible.

Here's the "barrel glitch" referred to in the rules.

There are a few ways to glitch the game and warp across the map (at least on older versions of the game), but they're unreliable in execution and result so were never fun to use so we just stuck to glitchless.

Thanks for the interest, but we're not looking for more moderators at this time. In the past when we felt that we can't keep up with submissions we'd ask people in the community that we felt are trustworthy. But with the interest in the game slowly falling I don't see that happening any time soon.

Edited the OP to revert rule change.

Edited the OP to reflect rule changes that permit the Instant Restart mod.

For what it's worth I personally thought your run was fine, but Lockness is the more experienced player and I trust his judgment. Like mohida says, it could just be the playstyle and in that case we're sorry for unfairly declining your run, but with how good your times are getting we want to make sure all runs are legit. I hope you can get a better PB and submit that. If you're not actually cheating it's highly unlikely we'd decline it again.

I'd like to request Buckiize getting removed as super mod from the game Getting Over it with Bennet Foddy. He hasn't verified any runs or taken part in discussions for 1-2 months and the last time he did verify runs was due to being confronted about his inactivity. He refuses to step down voluntarily despite being asked to do so by the rest of the mod team.

Trackpad tuning on is the preferred way of playing for most runners as it turns off the mouse acceleration.
