let me know if there is anything i can do to help promote this! what a wonderful thing

look at him go

Valid point. I'm completely fine with it and I see no reason for it to be brought to a vote considering how minor it is, unless anyone disagrees?

I think that alternative ending runs could also be interesting @TheNevs definitely noted

Thank you for your response @MegaMix_Craft I appreciate the transparency and I think could be a good speedrun game. I do think that the current record should be invalidated considering his time does not match livesplit though

thank you for your comment jamiee, i don't mean any offense to the moderators at all. But obviously, you agree the rules are vague and aren't being followed correctly because they aren't clear. You can see for the world record that the time is going based off his note instead of his timer

Yo,

Today we will be choosing a new moderator to join the team. There are only two applicants; Hamo and Homuki. These are two great runners that have been around and want to do the best that they can for a community that they love. Voting will be similar to the REbirth re-vote, except discussion WILL be allowed this time. Just PLEASE keep the discussion on topic. Any purposeful derailment, trolling or disrespect to your fellow community members will result in an invalid vote and a possible ban from future voting polls.

TO VOTE: LIKE THE COMMENT THAT WILL BE POSTED BY THE CANDIDATE FOR MODERATION. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 2 MONTHS EXPERIENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS WILL BE CHECKED. The thread will be LOCKED until the two candidates are ready. I will have them each post a comment explaining why they think they would make a good moderator and why you should choose them over the other. Again, discussion will be allowed but keep it on topic, and to vote, LIKE the comment of the candidate

I'm not trying to come off as rude but this board is already off to a bad start. Every run is starting their timer at a different spot, and the world record was verified based off of a YouTube video length "mod note" instead of livesplit. If you would like, I have some ideas and can help moderate and bring some better rules and consistency to this board before it dies. I already moderate resident evil 3 so I have some experience

Yo

I would first like to start off with thanking you for taking part in the voting. I believe this was a big step towards rebuilding the trust of our community after the previous voting. That being said, the results were overwhelming:

44 "Yes" votes to separate REbirth from PC CHN/TWN/JPN 3 "No" votes to do nothing

I would also like to say for the next voting, whatever it may be, please read the motherfucking rules so your vote is valid :-)

We will begin migrating all runs very soon! I look forward to seeing your runs and I hope you continue to play the category that you enjoy the most, rather than the most populated board.

On a side-note, RebeccaRE has decided to step down from the position of Super-Mod and passed it along to me. We have also decided that going forward all new moderators will be voted in by the community. We are currently looking for one more moderator to join the team, if you are interested please DM me via here or discord. Once we have enough people interested we will put it to a vote. I think this is another great step for us.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I just want to thank you again for handling this so well. Let's try to keep this level head going forward no matter what comes next.

Yep don't worry about the invalid votes, I am keeping track of every one who didn't read the rules I posted twice FUNgineer

I'm only going to say this once more. No more warning, read the damn rules. Balbo, your vote will not be counted. LegacyGR your vote is invalid

READ THE RULES!!! I will state them here at the top and once more at the bottom so there is zero confusion:

VOTING WILL BE UP FOR A WEEK AS OF TODAY. IF YOU COMMENT ANYTHING OTHER THAN "YES" OR "NO" YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALID. THIS IS TO PREVENT THREAD DERAILMENT. IN ORDER TO TAKE PART IN THIS VOTE, YOUR FIRST RUN TO THE BOARD MUST HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED BEFORE THE INITIAL REBIRTH VOTE (APRIL 1ST) THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULENT VOTING. EVERY SINGLE PROFILE WILL BE CHECKED. IF YOU WISH TO VOTE ANONYMOUSLY YOU CAN DM ME YOUR VOTE BUT PLEASE ADHERE TO THE SAME RULES.

YOU WILL VOTE "YES" TO MIGRATE ALL CURRENT REBIRTH RUNS INTO A SEPARATE CATEGORY ON THE MAIN BOARD PAGE DISPLAYED AMONGST THE OTHERS.

YOU WILL VOTE "NO" TO CHANGE NOTHING AND KEEP REBIRTH INTEGRATED WITH PC TWN/CHN

Okay thanks, with that out of the way, let's begin. I want this done right this time around, and by right, I mean fairly and transparent so we can move forward as a community.

Recent discoveries by PyramidK show more time save than initially accounted for with the REbirth patch. Since these discoveries, the community has been discussing whether or not to keep the patch integrated with PC TWN/CHN considering that the rebirth patch has time save in places the MediaKite version does not. There is an inherent 3 seconds of time save by simply running the patch, and there is also time save in the form of faster inputs and execution that wouldn't otherwise be possible in MediaKite. I will now list the findings, including the video, from PyramidK

"the timesave is much, much more than what was said at first, and the people who tested it did it incorrectly and with poor execution. But since I know that words don't help, I will not only expose what I discovered, but I will also demonstrate it on VIDEO: 1-Any room that has a cutscene will always be faster. 2-Any room in which you have to interact with a text, such as grabbing an object, is faster. 3-Any room where you have to select an option is faster. 4-The menus are much faster and easier to perform. Places where there are timesave: -Second door: 0.5 -Nemesis scene in RPD, up to 0.7 -Restaurant: 0.5 -Cable car: 0.4 -Final nemmy: 1 second -Park cogger puzzle: Up to 1.5 seconds due to faster inputs -Water puzzle: Up to 1.5 -Scene where the truck box falls before the train crash: up to 0.5 -Power station puzzle: Up to 0.7 compared to a perfect room in vanilla -Scene door of Mikhail with nemesis before the train crash: Always 0.3 faster -Scene when jumping from the train: Up to 1.4 -When picking up powders after train crash, due to how quickly it happens the grabs and coming out of a scene, up to 0.6 -Ladder after music box and next staircase: Up to 1.2 seconds (2 quick skips + the nemesis scene) -Room of the stones, much faster than in vanilla, again because of the text and the transitions that work faster, you can save up to 0.7 competing against an almost perfect execution in my PB, something that I never achieved in vanilla. [8:33 PM] -Furnace room (where you combine powders before fighting the worm): Up to 1 second of timesave, due to all the pickups, texts and scene, something that is impossible to save in vanilla.

• Carlos red vaccine room: Up to 0.5 something impossible in vanilla -Hospital Alley after explosion: Always a 0.3 - 0.4 gold no matter what you do, out of nowhere. -Carlos using vaccine on Jill: Since you can skip these scenes faster, you can save up to 0.7 here. -Nemesis scene in the bridge before dead factory: Always a gold between 0.3 to 0.5 for free -Acid nemmy: Up to 0.7 faster, again the loads are faster and that affects -Room after defeating acid nemmy: I always get a gold of 0.3 - 0.4 without doing anything, completely free. -The timelosses are only: 0.5 in 2 slow doors in city, 0.5 in one slow door at clocktower and 2.5 after CT nemmy"

There is reason to believe that the vote was done unfairly, mismanaged, and the votes altered by influenced stream viewers who quickly submitted a run so they could vote. This is why I have set forth the rules that I have, as strict as they may seem. An SRC board is nothing without its community, and we as a moderation team should always strive to give you an honest and fair playing field. I hope to achieve just that moving forward.

You may ask: "Tater-chan, if the vote was unfair, why are we voting again??"

Because even though the community can agree that the initial vote was handled poorly, voting still matters. Your opinion matters here. If we were to just simply make this change because we deemed it for the greater good, what would stop you from thinking that we could just change anything voted upon in the past at our discretion? I don't want it to be like that here. I love this game. I love this community. I want you to have fun out there and I wanna see you hit that fat fucking PB.

It is up to you now as a community to decide. I will be posting the rules of this thread and voting once more here at the bottom so there can be zero confusion.

Sincerely,

-Tater

I'm not entirely sure but I think this website might have some. I advise using caution, some costumes can alter hitboxes or other features of the game. This would lead to your run being rejected

I see lots of support here for this. I also think it's a good idea. I'll discuss it with the others
