Sup,

Recently, a new guy (Kurtz) has been running Fez with some very clever new strats. One of them is kinda weird, you can see it on this vod :

He is doing the Achievement Code twice, first time in the Zu village, and then a second time in the Lighthouse, during the chest opening animation of the last anticube at the top of the invisible platforms.

Here is his explanation that he told me by PM :

[quote]By popping an anticube, do you just mean triggering it to appear? The only time I trigger an anticube while opening a chest is near the very end, after I climb those invisible platforms (as far as I remember). Now, I did do something different this run than in previous runs which might answer the 33 cubes question (which totally surprised me as well): Last week when I was running the game, I would trigger the achievement code anticube the first time Gomez wakes up with his fez, still in the village. That's what I had seen on streams. Then I realized that the only reason you guys got that anticube then was so you could open the gate right after Dot stops talking, since the long jump to the treasure chest hadn't been discovered yet. I then saw on Toad's most recent WR run that he triggered (what I assume to be) the achievement code anticube at the same time as he was opening a chest, which let him collect both anticubes at the same time. Here's what I did during that most recent run: When I first got into the ancient town overworld (the place where the QR code room is), I triggered the QR Map anticube and the Achievement code anticube. I don't know all the places the QR Map code can be triggered, so I just do it there, since that's where I've seen it done. HOWEVER, when I climbed the invisible platforms and was opening that treasure chest, I did the Achievement code again, because I couldn't quite remember if I'd done it before, or if I had actually picked up the cube. I realized something was weird, because I got Dot's dialogue about collecting 32 cubes earlier than expected, but it didn't really click with me until I saw all 33 (!) at the end-of-game sequence. So, I don't really know what I did, but it seems like there might be some weird stuff going on with the Achievement code anticube.[/quote]

I see 2 things with that :

• It could be great, because it means you get an extra cube so you can get rid of one, potentially saving lots of time
• As there is this rule saying that cube duping is forbidden, well, to me it is technically some kind of cube duping, since you are doing the same code twice, getting 2 cubes where you should be able to get only one.

I want this to be discussed since it can lead to big changes in the route. Also, we need to figure out the exact circumstances of this, because it'll help to figure out if we classify this as dupe or not.

Most of the things you need to know are in the description of Github : https://github.com/Gyoo/LiveSplit.SplitsBet I developed this plugin after I saw several people trying to guess what the time of a split would be, and I thought it would be fun to have a bot doing the work for you, with scores and stuff like that. If you like it, feel free to give suggestions to improve it, this is a working release but there's still lots of things to do. Also, you can fork the project to improve it yourself and request your changes, this wouldn't be open source otherwise :P Remember : the most feedback, the better the plugin can be. You have lots of choices to give feedback (This thread, Github issues, my Twitter) so if you have anything to say, say it (pleaaaase BibleThump )

This thread is specifically for moderation requests and changes for already existing leaderboards. Please link to the game to help facilitate requests.

Requesting games/series not yet on the site: Use the form here.

Please keep in mind that using this thread is a last resort, in case the current moderators are not responding or refusing your help without justification. You should always start by asking the Super mods of a game/series as they are also able to add mods. Best way to contact game mods is probably through Twitter for now. Also try the game forums, many users get notifications when threads are created for games they follow.

Moderator inactivity doesn't apply until around 3 weeks, depending on other circumstances, and it is expected that you try to contact them (exceptions may be made if they have been offline ~3+ months.)

An admin or full mod will respond to your post when they review it; if there is no response, it hasn't been reviewed yet.

Hi,

Since I got granted new powers ( Kappa ) I noticed that some runs are awaiting verification for MONTHS because of the inactivity of the mods of some games.

I don't have a solution to this yet but I think this might be interesting to talk about that publically, a lot of brains is always better than only one.

The only idea I'd have right now would be the following : When a run is posted and is not verified by a mod in, let's say, a week, then the other players for this game can verify the run as well (kind of public verification, but still restricted to avoid worst cases scenarios). If another week passes then it's automatically accepted (Silence is tantamount of consent).

Any thoughts ? More ideas ? Go for it.

What do you guys think ? :)

Looks like there hasn't been a lot of improvements lately, except for new leaderboards sometimes :/

I know it's a hard task and Pac is doing stuff on his spare time, but has there been some (in)visible updates lately ?

Cheers, Gyoo.

Yo

Any thoughts on doing more advertising on some social networks now that the website has a new and definitive domain name ? It could be a good way to get more people to use the website and hopefully fill the different leaderboards, aswell as having new ones :)

All I see currently is only some posts on Twitter. As a Redditter, I know that there can be interested and motivated people there, but if I was to make a thread there, I need to know exactly what to say :/

Well, here was my idea, tell me what you think. Gyoo.
