Hi all!

I submitted a new record for The Last Autumn on July 6th, three weeks ago. Since then, it's been in the "needs verification" category. I'm unsure of the mod / mods are busy or if we simply have no active mods. Does anyone know further details?

So, I'm about to jump into the max% wizard category here, but I wanted to verify something. Crow has this category, but his time looks like it kept running after what the rules specify to be the final moment (final action / cursor change for knocking down Ad Avis). I believe his run should actually be considered ~24:46. Am I wrong about some aspect of this?

I figured an semi-obscure category would be fun, so I went for the VGA version's 100% mage run. Checked out Puri's runs on the EGA, goofed around a bunch, and so on. Then after playing through 8 or 9 times over the last couple of days and optimizing the route, I timed a couple play-throughs. Much to my surprise, the best one was 41m59s, which looks to be faster than the current record.

I have no idea how to do more, though. Like, how would I submit that? How would I record it right? How do you set up splits? I realize these are a lot of basic questions, but is there some sort of "So You Want to Be a Speedrunner" guide sitting around here somewhere?

It's been a fun test run, and the idea of progressing into a 100% mage run for each segment and possibly even the full collection sounds very fun. But I could use some guidance. Any help is much appreciated.
