The admins have decided that because of the volatile speedrunning situation and the possibilities of things being patched after the first bunch of runs submitted is pretty high... Along with us needing time to decide what to do with rules and categories we have decided to wait to verify any runs potentially submitted until at least 7/1/2020. At that point we will decide either to further delay opening the boards or if we are comfortable opening for submissions.
Thank you for understanding.
In addition to this, we are adding the rule of "Only one copy of the game may be open throughout the run" to the entire series.
There is no NMG Max Skills category so doing that would be silly and in SA you have to eat skill seed so doing SA and NoSS at the same time would be impossible my dude
I can see the argument of stuff like dl1 doing all of NMG any% then buying the extra colors and stuff to do nmg hundo same for doing like max skills then regular 100%
interesting proposition
time ends when you cross the finish line at the champ so yeah you have to beat the champ
Yesterday was a big day in Duck Life for discoveries
Two new things were found -Island Swim Glitch: -Tab Seed:
Island Swim Glitch (ISG) is a more consistent method to get the swim glitch that allows for 1 cycling swimming in any RC category (More info in the youtube video description)
Tab Seed (TS) takes advantage of out of bounds seed that we discovered using screen manipulation in other Duck Life games, but we could not take advantage of it because we banned Screen Manipulation due to it not being usable on official versions of the game. But using the tab key you can highlight clickable options of the game, and for some reason you are able to highlight over the out of bounds skill seed.
Tab Seed ruling is still being debated but where it stands now it will be allowed in every category besides Max Skills.
This post it to document the new finds for anybody interested in this game that are not currently in the discord

Back before RCP and RCB was allowed the NoSS run was a display of who could do the minigames the fastest. After we allowed RCP and RCB the run now skips 99% of flying, most of swimming, and potentially most of running.Some view the run as being too similar to any% now/ too boring, while others want to keep it as it is.
Happy voting

Thank you for doing all you have done for this game, Jumpy. Good luck to wherever life leads you :)
Who are you exactly MeowMix?
With all due respect You can not just come into this community, after being inactive for almost a year (Your last run was about 11 months ago), and expect us to jump right along with your opinions and desires. We heard your complaints and we addressed them, thank you for taking the time out of your obviously busy schedule to post on our forum :) If you want to have a serious voice in this community though... then you should participate in it more than complaining every couple of months, and vanishing soon after.
Because right now You are about as helpful and needed as somebody complaining and giving critique over American politics when you visited the country for a week, a year ago.
Although we do realize that it is not normal to have older outdated runs still shown on the leader-boards when they are beaten by a new faster route by the same person (My 13:22 still showing and Glitched's 14XX) , but this is the best we can do at the moment when we consider all of the moderator and current runner's opinions.
We are using a function that is a part of the flash player that we play the game on Much like how people will do the soft reset on their gamecube controllers to reset the console
it is a function of the program Duck Life runs on, so we use it.
This is simply taking advantage of a new trick to go faster
If you want to move the other times to a new category to keep them "fair" then why didnt you do that when we got the new Froggie re route?
That reroute cut about 2 minutes the record before was 15:4X by dino then it was like 13:3X by josh
this new route saves about 2 minutes previous record was 13:22 and now its 11:Xx
why should we make a new useless category now when we didnt before?
It was discussed between active moderators of this game that we should lift the ban on Right click to Fast forward/Play
This is a huge change for the routes for many of the games There are limitations to this function however
You must still beat the champion in all the games Meaning you MUST cross the finish line in the final race With this being a limitation it stops people from finishing the game in under a minute.
Beating the champion and getting the crown symbolizes the game being beat.
If there are any questions the best place to ask them is to join the discord server that is in another forum post.
