Hey everyone, its nice to see this community grown so big over the year, it was really nice to be a part of this commuinity and being a mod, but after a long consideration and being very busy these past few months with my final few semesters of uni. I think its best for me to step down and focus on my real life, I will still occasionally check on and do speedruns when i do have spare time but i am currently too bus to verify runs consistently anymore for the past few months.
I might return to being mod later after uni... who know :p but until then, pray the verification time wont be too long xD
Even tho i might not be mod, feel free to contact me anytime on discord for any help or tips on the game or technically issues. :D Not so much for bugs and stuff coz im out of the loop for that one... havent speedrun btd6 since update 28.0
Shoutout to iberian for being a great help :D
The BTD6 speedrunning community has grown quite big over the years and I'm very proud of what it has become :D but, with the growing popularity of game and when the times of runs getting shorter and shorter, a few sketchy things will eventually pop up so as a precaution to this, one new rule will be added to the speedrunning rules starting July 7th, 2021.
New Rule =
- Every run will need to show the main menu screen at the start and end of the run. Any flagged account will be rejected for cheating until proven otherwise
This rule is meant to detect modded/flagged accounts given by 2 leaves at the options menu on the main menu screen (Ninjakiwi way to show that the account is modded/cheating). and also some other things not as important...
For any flagged account user, do not worry about never being able to submit a valid run tho, with verification and proof, we will verify your run just like any other run. (This is due to Ninjakiwi having a slight flaw with the flagging system where some people gets flagged despite not cheating/modding)
Suggestions for timing, rules, and/or other suggestions? and the most important question, do you want this to be a thing and possibly run it?
Black Border% is basically doing every difficulty of a single map including CHIMPS. For CHIMPS, you are not able to exit the game midway as it will no longer be a Black Border% cause it will become a gold border instead.
For Timing : (Current idea) Timing starts on pressing play on first difficulty played and end on first frame where victory banner or free insta monkey screen pops up. The timer between maps will be paused to remove the menu screen time and continues the next time you press play on the next difficulty.
Rules = (Current idea)
- No double cash
- No modding the game of any kind
- Must show the entire run from start to finish (No cuts in between the difficult change)
- No Insta monkeys and power ( except monkey farmer)
- No continues (If fail mid run, just restart the difficulty but keep the timer running, unless thinking of resetting)
- Monkey Knowledge permitted
- It is fine if you already black bordered the map as long as you re-beat all difficulty again without exiting the map midway in the CHIMPS mode.
