Hi, I saw this just now on the front page of SRC, and I actually had thoughts about running this game as this is one of my favorite wheel of fortune games alongside the Wii one. However I thought it would not be fun and unfair to run as someone can cheat by looking the answers up. But now looking at the rules (for this wof game at least) and seeing that no outside help is allowed, it raises some questions.

  1. How are you supposed to enforce this if the runner has no webcam or mic? They can be looking answers up without anyone knowing. I know that its obvious to tell if they just start solving the puzzle right away, but someone can just pretend to figure out what it is by filling in a little bit of the puzzle and then look up the answer and solve it. Only way I see around it is if you require a webcam and mic to submit.

And what if by chance you just happen to know the puzzle without any letters and without any outside help and you don't have webcam on? Its only happened to me once, but one time I got the category "movies", and in the first line there were two dots next to the first two letters, so I immediately knew it was "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" just by seeing the length of each word in the puzzle.

  1. What exactly defines outside help? Is it only looking up the answers online? Lets say I was streaming the game, and someone in chat just randomly says the answer before I figured it out. Would that make the run invalid? I guess it would since any help isn't allowed according to the rules. Speaking of which, you would never know I had any help if I omitted chat from the PB video.

Idk this just seems like a hard rule to enforce and easy to figure out loopholes. I understand that this was the best way to word the rule to prevent cheating but it just seems very easy for someone to cheat in this game unfortunately without requiring strict rules.

sooo I just found out that this game was finally added to src after I submitted this game a year ago and honestly I don't know what to say. I'm shocked that I got an email saying this was added after so long. I don't know what happened to the point where it took them a year to get to it I thought it was rejected but better later than never I guess. The thing is the hype to run this game died a LOOONG TIME AGO in my opinion and I have not played it since last year. I had categories planned out but since it never got accepted until now I kinda forgot my plans for this game. I really have no interest in doing anything with this game until there are other people out there that show they are interested too.

So this is your chance right here! If you're reading this and would like to run it or have a run already, let me know and reply to this with some category ideas/your run and I will add the category when I have the time

(EDIT: Also it seems like the game has changed a lot compared to when I first ran it. More obstacles have been added meaning I cannot even submit my old run because it would be unfair to everyone else)

Hey MVP 2005 mods. My names Jimmy, I’m a SM64 speedrunner and YT streamer. I submitted this game to speedrun.com in May 2017 after looking for games to run and was the first person to do a run of this game. I played this game from my youth and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to find a way to run it and I did. Here’s a link to the original run I submitted: . I was the original mod of this game, and it was only me for a bit until late 2017. I was in a bad mindset at the time. I was pretty depressed. I was stressed out from multiple things including personal things and speedrunning. So when someone submitted a run one day, I unmodded my self from the game shortly after and you guys had to go resubmit it to the site again. I apologize for that. If you guys don’t remember any of this, then you are probably really confused.

Anyway, I’m making this post to say that I think I’m ready to be mods for games again. I took a break for a bit and I came back recently. I wanted to see if you guys remembered any of this happening and I want to be a supermod again. I have a lot of ideas for categories, and me and my brothers love playing this game. We played it back then, and we still play it today. I try to get them to do speedruns of some of the categories I made up even tho they aren’t speedrunners lol

You guys are probably confused reading this post. I will admit I’m not the best at explaining things (I’m autistic that’s the main reason). If you guys have any questions about this (which I know you will for sure), please contact me on social media or reply to this thread! I'm pretty sure that you won't believe me and I really have no way of proving it to you guys. I'm still looking for some proof that I was once a mod (like a screenshot or something). I'll reply to this thread if I find any. I really hope to hear back from you guys soon, I love this game to death and would love to try to start a small community around it. Peace

Hey, I was thinking recently that we should add a 100% category, where you unlock all instruments, songs, levels, etc. If you want me to, I'll do a run so you can have a run to put up
