Hello,
I have been made aware by a concering user regarding two problems with this leaderboard:
Timing method
The current rules state: The timer starts at the moment of loading a battle map and ends at the moment of statistic screen appearing. You can play on any map. The timer is necessary. Reading through this rather scarce amount of information on the timing method, I find it very strange that a rule is being enforced stating a timer is necessary when the current timing method is RTA. Runs should never get rejected because a RTA timer is not present, simply because one of the key duties of moderators of speedrun.com is retiming runs. It now feels like an unnecessary restriction that adds no real value other than being a benefit for moderators. If it were to be a benefit, it should not be a restriction.
With that, I also find it strange that moderator @kirlimfaul https://www.speedrun.com/The_Unholy_War/run/zpqq24ry did make an effort to retime his run to a 5m37s run here (while the timer states its a 5m38s) run, but submissions get rejected because a timer is not present is very odd to me.
Obsolete runs According to the audit log, I found that obsolete runs get rejected for the reason that a newer run is available. Obsolete runs should never get rejected since its simply not a valid reason for rejection, as well as these runs serve as a historical archive for each user, so those runs still get linked to their user profile.
Please take action as soon as possible on these two points raised above.
@Daravae. Oh, thank you for your explanation. Yes, I've got your point. I didn't know about these things.
Hey Kirlimfaul, thanks for verifying those runs! I need to do more work on Mayhem to earn that WR :D A couple of things: -I noticed AlrightSally's run https://www.speedrun.com/The_Unholy_War/run/yl41k0xm is missing the fifth map from the video and the time, so I think that run needs retimed. (EDIT: I have retimed this run and edited the video to reflect this) -I think we should have Arcane v Teknos as a separate category in Strategy runs as we do in Mayhem - any thoughts? The runs are entirely different since fights occur on different terrain. Your discord link does not work by the way.
- Yes, do it, please.
- Yes, I guess you are right about a new category for strategy runs. But It seems to me that we need to delete "only 5 maps" category which looks to me as a mistake because it includes part of the main game. Moreover, some time ago there was difficulty division in the leaderboard, but for some reason, it doesn't work now. Need to fix it as well. Eh, I don't know why my link to discord acc doesn't work correctly, mb, it should be written like "Kirlimfaul0106" with a major "K". So, the problem is I gave up on speedrunning and rarely visit speedrun.com. I want you to be a supermod for the game because you are interested in. I don't think anyone would have an objection. I'm asking you just to be sure timing runs.
@kirlimfaul, happy to take over as super mod and I agree about first 5 maps being an anomaly.
@Ichimarnold I cannot currently view any of your runs either here on on your Twitch/Youtube, they appear to have been taken down - do you have the source clips somewhere you could reupload? Happy to keep your times as they stand but it would be great to see your work. Do you have a view on the 5 maps category?
