The fact that we have a run that's a full minute faster than this now is insane

@TheEgglet it's easier just to have all individual runs in classic mode for the sake of simplicity.

I'll be able to add you when Mace gets online

@TheEgglet @Daewe You are both being added as moderators. You can still submit runs as a moderator, you just need another moderator to verify it for you. You both know and use YT Frame timer, that is what I would like you to use for verification.

The current frame timing rules for individual levels will now be the following:

Timing an Individual level run:

Timer starts on the first frame in which the level resets, and the yellow "START" ring first appears

All currently submitted Individual level runs should be re timed using these rules to your best ability

That's innovative

I believe the timing rules for the full runs are still viable

@TheEgglet If you could provide an example of an individual level timed with your criteria, that would help me understand what exactly you're recommending. If the "blue frame" after the last bubble is popped has a consistent time gap between the last bubble popped and the frame appearing, then I would gladly allow that change.

As for retiming, I would like for you to become a permanent member of the staff team, you have much more experience running flash games than I do. Plus, I dont have much time to verify this many runs constantly. If you have any questions about mod let me know, otherwise I'll give you perms

For individual levels, level 1 is going to be notoriously hard to time accurately and I dont believe there is a method that will be able to time level 1 specifically as accurately as possible

Former time was incorrectly started later than intended, time has been adjusted

As far as your 2nd comment, I am totally open to this idea but I would require a bit of help to retime the 60-70+ individual level runs that have been submitted. Easier to start now than later. My time zone is CST Gmt-6 so any delay in response is because of that

Atleast it's supposed to. I may have messed that bit up

@TheEgglet Your wr time is started on this frame, which is the first frame that a slash from the mouse input is rendered

This didnt come across my mind, I'll be adding that to the rules

I have revised how we time our runs, all runs will now be frame timed upon verification. The current criteria is as follows:

FOR INDIVIDUAL LEVEL LEADERBOARDS:

Timer starts on the first frame in which the first slash is rendered

Timer ends when the last bubble is popped on the level

FOR FULL LENGTH any% or arcade%:

Timer starts on the first frame in which the first slash is rendered

Timer ends when the last bubble on the final level is popped

I feel this is currently the most reliable and accurate way to time runs of all categories. Any suggestions, questions or concerns can be sent in this thread. This will all be posted in the Game Rules and Category rules as well.
