Michigan, USAHmm...that would be something we could talk about for sure. I personally don't know too much about the PS2 and PSP versions of the game, but I do know they're quite different.
Okay. It seems like that must've been Electric Mans reuploaded run after the appeal. I do agree that if a run is streamed on Twitch, or other streaming site, that should be a factor. Twitch is especially weird when it comes to muting audio on games and it can become frustrating to deal with. That's why I do hope most people local record, if they have the ability to do so. I also understand that sometimes technology issues happen with recording and that can leave recording messed up in areas.
I'd love to hear from Electric Man as well and see if he has anything further to bring up about this.
Let's have a conversation then. First off Electric Mans 100% run was not rejected I verified it myself and I told Electric Man that it would be accepted. I was then told that he was appealing the muted audio on his video and when he got it appealed he was going to reupload the run, which I have since verified as well just like I told him we would. Second, I'm willing to listen. Instead of just saying everything we did was stupid maybe we can try to have a conversation about this and come to something that the whole community can agree with. So, I have a proposal to make and feel free to comment on what you think.
The propsal is this: We allow people to have custom audio if they so choose, however, the in game sound effects must still be on and audible. Now in the event that your video gets muted for whatever reason, it'll be up to the runner to appeal the video, or provide video with complete audio, which to Electric Mans credit he did do that with his video. It also isn't lost on me that recently people have had issues with Al's Toy Barn getting muted on Twitch, so I'm hoping people local record if they can. To Solar's point about WRs, if we have a rule in place where at the start of any run your s.o.b. is equal to or less then the current WR for the category, then all in game audio must be present and especially if the run is WR.
