also what the hell are they doing with markdown? or is just gone? or temporarily disabled? i must've missed the post about it, but atm almost every old post looks goofy

Almost every forum post in the last like 10 years or whatever have relied on old markdown. All of those posts are essentially broken now (including the FAQs thread not showing table of contents [alongside me having to probably update the contents to the new site layout]) because it seems that markdown is either disabled or changed. Can someone explain the new markdown so I can fix my more important threads?

what is the point of this feature?

generally just ask existing mods in DMs,

most games that aren't extremely well ran are always happy to have more verifiers. That being said, you actually need to run the game to be a verifier, don't just go asking random people.

Update: trying to fix all the formatting issues that the new site changes brought:

rip original donor badge, but makes sense why it'd be gone, honestly figured they would've removed it when they bought the site like a year or two ago so I'm just surprised it lasted this long

honestly I like this whole UI/site redesign for most things, but it did fuck up my pfp :( RIP

epic games

oh drat! the admins might find out about this thread!

Congrats to the winners!

huh

I mean most of the grind happens toward the end, so why not?

Not required, but I'd recommend making it so that either runs competing for a top position (lets say top 5 for example) or under a certain time (like under 9 hours) require video proof. This is good for a.) Making cheating/lying harder b.) Makes a really good resource to learn strategies/routes from top runs.

The 3 week timeframe is for inactive mods. Even if you take 2 years to verify something, if you're very clearly active on the site (to my knowledge) support will not punish you. It is stated in the rules so that runner don't just spam people impatiently nonstop as it's important to recognize that game mods are unpaid humans who do this for fun as well.

you can always just use like tinyurl to share it. so like https://tinyurl.com/srcfaq has the same effect as migrating to a google doc.

my first run is always blind, should be interesting lol

around 3 months left, might go sit down a do a run

all you need is something to record the footage, there's nothing special needed.

If your laptop camera can record the footage it's good enough.

Many people just use their phone camera, but you can grab a capture card if you really want one.
