(sorry for my english, it may be bad, but i hope you'll understand me)

What do I mean and what do I want to talk about: Zylenox pause the game for a while to do math to find a stronghold, mods added these seconds to his IGT and so he tied with reignex. Okay, fair enough, he pause the game to use it for his purposes which helped him to run faster. But now let's talk about one more run. Now we have a new WR (?) by fe666, but in his run he paused the game much more times to do the math as well. He spent more than 10 seconds doing this, which means that this could be not a WR at all, unless mods don't retime the run including these "math pauses", as they did to zylenox.

If they retime fe666 to 13:53 or so, do you think it would be fair not to retime zylenox's run?

I can be wrong too due to bad understanding of retiming rules, so if here are mods or experts, explain me this thing.

I believe the zylenox thing was a specific rule. It only has to do with calculating where the stronghold is, IIRC it's because when they banned calculators, they realized people could just do the same thing calculators do with pen and paper, so they wanted to discourage that by adding it to their final time. This type of restriction has not been added to other things yet, many runners pause in the middle of their runs to do stuff like this without it being counted towards their final time.

here is one of the moment I was talking about. I'm not sure what was he doing, but as Couriway said in his reaction video, fe666 was doing some kind of strat to find a fortress, so I think this probably should be added to final time too. What do you guys think about this? And again, I can be wrong, but you always can prove me that and explain.

Can you locate fortresses with F3 ? I didn't know that, can someone explain than a little bit more ?

you can see mob spawners in shift + F3 ? sorry for questions I know about microlensing for bastions but I wanna know more about fortresses

In that specific time he was just waiting to the chunks to load since he had changed his render distance

It's inconsistent at the moment in my opinion, and it's concerning for future WRs when the time gets harder and harder to beat, why'd you think fast if you can think longer with a short pause?. Zylenox got this ingame time added because he did the triangulation calculation in the pause, meaning it could have helped his run.

But fe666, also pauses multiple times to think (was even obvious when in the nether when his mouse was hovering some numbers in the f3 menu) and it also could have helped his run, but didn't got his time added.

Inconsistencies are the worst. Hope it'll be considered discussing about in the future.
