Hello runners, stream viewers, and moderators I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and the new moderation team.
My name is Max and I have been a part of the RE Speedrunning community for over 3 years now and I love this community more than any other I have been a part of. In my time as a speedrunner this community has been nice enough to help me get set up and learn all of these amazing runs and I am so happy that I get the opportunity to help out another community here on SRC. I know that in the past few months there has been a lot of turmoil and strife within our community and I am here today to hopefully be a mediator for that and lead this community to brighter pastures.
The mods I have selected for these boards are some of the most trustworthy people I know from this community as well as other games in the RE community. They are my friends, but even more than that, they are extremely good at what they do and they understand that community should come first. We even have a few verifiers that have volunteered to help us get out of the backlog that will be getting verified or rejected starting tomorrow.
In addition the rules have been updated just as Hurriboy said they would be on March 3rd, 2019. On that date he asked no more runs be submitted for a while so things could be discussed in that time the leadership changed twice and people continued to submit runs. So due to that I made the executive decision that any run submitted after March 3rd, 2019 will be verified or rejected under the new rule set. As a professor at a University when something is stated and everyone knows about it, and then proceeds to do the opposite the professor gives a zero with no questions asked. Therefore we will do the more lenient thing and instead of instantly rejecting these runs we are giving them a chance under the new rules.
These rules were looked at for days and were found to be the best compromise in a lot of areas including the use of Save States for code generation. These will be no longer allowed and instead the console must be shown on the offline emu runs. A video for the optimal and required setup for recording runs will be added in the resources tab soon for reference. If there are any questions or complaints my discord is on my info panel on SRC and you can reach me there anytime. Work will continue on creating a more active Speedrun Board as well as category extensions that the community wants.
If your run gets rejected I have advised the moderators and verifiers to put the rule number that was violated in order to help you make future submissions better. If you are upset about these changes again please talk to me and express them in a concise tactful manner so that we can have a productive discussion and always remember that a rejected run is never the end of the world. If you did it once I guarantee you can do it again. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to see you out there on the board.
Much love ❤️
show console only offline emu run? is Emu play on PC with Joy Stick ? Sorry i lack of knowlage about it gg lol
The emulator most/all use, PCXS I think, has a window called the console which displays what the emulator is doing. This includes information like turbo and save state use. The mods want PC users to show this so people can't use things like save states which could easily be hidden from the mods.
I tend to use a ps4 controller when playing on PC I doubt anyone uses a joystick or keyboard.
Hello Max and welcome. Its good to see things moving on for the better (hopefully, I seen enough!). You were pretty much absent during those previous days in times of great need and I want to believe you can lead this community for the best. A lot of subject were around the recents problems and still needs resolve. I was part of a discussion in discord servers where I wished you were there and many others, regarding new rules, solutions, etc. We do need open-minded threads and discussions where we can listen to each others. The knowledge and experience of people for the Outbreak series is certainly welcome.
Hey there Jekoro. Yes I will be the first to admit my faults and I was absent a lot when the drama was happening just due to trying to finish my PhD and the unfortunate news that my job may be ending soon, so a lot of stress with more piled on by the disorder that was occuring. I was asked personally to speak with different people around different communities and SRC staff themselves about the state of the boards and how to move forward and I wanted to take that opportunity to focus on those conversations and how it could be used to help the community as a whole. In the coming months I expect the growth process to not be immediate, but I will never close my ears to any voices that choose to speak up and I make a personal promise to try my damnedest to make this community one of the most welcoming and easy to join on SRC. I look forward to having more conversations with you as well!
