Hey folks,

When looking through some of the videos on the board I realized some runs are not timed properly (that is, in accordance with the current rule: Timing Starts upon selecting "Basic series" (First option). Timing ends when the results screen appears). Some runs are timed based off of the screen fading to black, rather than when the results screen appears. For the sake of accuracy, I wouldn't mind retiming those runs that are not timed with this rule in mind, but I wouldn't want to do that without notifying the runners first.

Related to this, a lot of runs are timed to the millisecond. My opinion is that timing this way is unnecessary unless 1) there's a tie to the second, and we need to refer to milliseconds to determine order, or 2) we reach some barrier after which we decide more accuracy is needed (like Super Mario Bros. or Marble Madness, to name 2 examples).

So--does anyone mind if I retime the runs to be in accordance with the rules (which won't alter times too significantly), and would anyone mind if I delete the milliseconds from those runs? I know this isn't a thriving board, but all the same I didn't want to make changes without notifying you/asking first! I'll leave this message up for a bit (say, a couple of weeks), and will proceed to make changes if I don't hear anything to the contrary.

The last thing I want to mention is that there's HOT NEW TECH for this game! Thanks to Paintbrush_Samurai, we are now able to clip in every stage, navigating out of bounds and saving a huge amount of time. A quick look at his Basic Series (SNES) run will show you just how much time there is to save. It's an exciting time for the game, and maybe an exciting time to return to it...

Peace! Regards from,
