Here's the proof they updated it http://www.mineplex.com/forums/m/11929946/viewthread/29539823-february-map-update/page/1 https://gyazo.com/a93c83eabaeaed81bfcaa183d767ac50

Since the exploit in ITJ has been removed, we are going to remove the NE / E variants of the 2 leap categories in the map and have the current NE times in as main times. If a new exploit is found (that saves significant time), we will add back the categories, but not the past runs

I can't wait for the day there's a single player DE mod.

I wanted to ask the TH nerds this.

For some context, there was a poll asking people if they wanted Tiggz to become mod or to not become mod, the results ended up being: 9 for Yes, 4 for I couldn't care less and 3 for No. Here's the link http://www.strawpoll.me/12127506/r (ignore the bookmarks).

I was somewhat neutral if Tiggz should become mod, mostly because he's great for investigating, but made stupid mistakes when we was previously mod. But I think splitting responsibilities to where our skills are might get around that.

Also I'd like to say I seriously doubt that he'll do something stupid knowing that he'll face a lot of drama or he'll get removed.

Hopefully this doesn't cause drama, if it does get some popcorn.

I'm sorry about banning and days after unbanning the leap, the reason why I was for having it banned was because it was ping biased, but what now is making it unbanned is someone with normal ping can make it (Just will be much more difficult). Anyways sorry about this, hopefully a new method comes so the east asians/aussies can't get it solely due to their ping. Also get some popcorn for the replies.

One last thing I'm going to say is I recommend you to submit your runs that were rejected (sorry),because I'll probably miss one.

Title says it all.

http://www.strawpoll.me/12127506/r

here's the poll.

Also deadline is on the 23rd (this month).

Many of us probably woke up to this thinking it was probably a feature, and then we realized how many extra shortcuts (since there's no fall damage) for a free wr. After I took some time thinking about it, there were some runs submitted the day fall damage was removed/added, I was thinking should I remove all of them, or just the ones that'll be impossible to do with fall damage. I decided only for the ones that would be impossible (Sorry FastAsLightning and StarMonkay, please don't take this personally). For some context there's a exploit (I don't know exactly how much time it saves) that (if) you make it, you'll probably get down to 3-4 hearts left. Which would be impossible to speedrun the rest of the map with that health, since the no fall damage glitch came (and left) today two world records were submitted using the glitch to it's advantage.

Also if you think I did something wrong with handling this situation, or something could to better, please tell me, I'm open to criticism.

Mineplex updated their map (Sandstorm) due to at the end having a few glitches that made the end of the map impossible to play going helpless and kitless. And they changed the end of the map entirely, I'm sorry to anyone with a wr before the update but I'll have to remove your wr.

Let me explain this, The idea is that I'll have make a post, called "Unofficial Community Made Categories", and in that post there'll be links to unofficial leaderboards, take Tacs for example (http://www.speedrun.com/Dragon_Escape/thread/v5edn). This post is just to open up discussion about it nothing more.

If you find a mistake in the thread, here is where you should make a post about it.

The results are 57 (Yes) and 43 (No) https://gyazo.com/48cee562ecdcdcc85eaa6368ca130ae8 (Sorry for the ads and bookmarks)

First thing I'd like to say, don't freak out. As I said in the post with the link to the poll, "Community made categories can be a thing". I had it planned out, and soon I'll make a post to open up discussion about it, anyways I updated the rules: http://www.speedrun.com/Dragon_Escape/guide/j1a4a

Thread I'm talking about http://www.speedrun.com/Dragon_Escape/thread/mex0u

I realized I never stated when the poll would end so it will end Sunday 7 pm Central time (12/4/2016), I recommend you to use this website (http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/) And compare it to Texas - Houston.

If you have any questions that are Dragon Escape related, ask here!

Going to try and make this short as possible. I (and many others) find the Leapless category a stupid category, and felt like going back to Kitless, so I made a poll to see if everyone would like to go back to Kitless. Two things I want to say, don't vote "yes" if you are planning to get free wr's, because I'm going to replace the Leapless runs with old Kitless runs, and unoffical community-made category's can be a thing.

Also here's the link, http://www.strawpoll.me/11667943/r

I thought I wouldn't need to make a post for this because I thought it would not happen but I'm currently on a vacation in Europe, and I thought I could time runs and download them with hotel wifi, and I was going to make a post about it, saying if I don't accept/reject your run in a couple of days, hotel wifi failing me will probably be why. Anyways sorry to the people who submitted their runs I'll get them timed and accept them whenever I get the chance.

Short version: I'm banning Razorblade8888; the timing rule which allowed him to become unbanned was never put into effect. Sorry I did not ban him sooner, I hesitated thinking there would be more drama than there was when he was first banned.

Long Version: As many of you know, Razor was unbanned by the previous mods, because of the IGT (In game timer), they thought the IGT (In game timer) could be used to catch people speeding up runs and cutting frames, but the issue is the IGT (In game timer) was not only inaccurate, but ping based too, so they got rid of it, but was Razor was still left unbanned, and I have something to apologize for, hesitating on banning Razor. Last time he was banned (By DaFatMan922), it caused a lot of drama, and that was with evidence, I'm banning him off with reason, so I was worried there would be more drama, especially because Razor has young fans that might not understand.

No other words than I find them fun.

Why on earth am I talking about a timing line? Well so there'll be no spawn bias, and having a good spawn won't be an advantage. I currently can't think of any issues with it so if you know one with this, please tell me.

You will hardly ever see me make polls because most the time people vote for whatever they think can get them a free wr, but since if everything goes well with this and everyone likes it I'll simply retime every run. Also here's the link to the poll, http://www.strawpoll.me/11392808

Thanks to CraftainJulius for the idea, Me and Tiggz talked out about this and since I couldn't find any flaw with it, I was about to make this official, but I decided to show the final version in public and wait for everyone opinion.

Community Guidelines; The 100 Point System

Note;

• A 'Ban' is when you lose all privileges of submitting run's, meaning they will get rejected on submission.
• If a player break's one of the rule's, and it's within the server "Mineplex" you can also submit a report to; Mineplex.com/reports

Thresholds:

25 - 1 Week ban

50 - 1 Month Ban

75 - 3 Month Ban

100 - Permanent Ban

1. You cannot accuse another player of something without evidence of them committing the offense. (+15 points) For example; Calling someone a 'Cheater', and expecting them to get punished without providing sufficient evidence of the player committing the offense.

2. No 'Unsportsmanlike' behaviour. (+25 points) For example; Acting like a child whenever your run get's beaten / starting an argument over something very stupid which is Dragon Escape related.

3. Unironic Racism. (Either +75 or Perm ban) For example; Certain people have a 'dark sense of humour', so what I mean by this is if someone is actively going out to do some harm to the player for their race (and belief / culture if it's also the case).

4. Cyberbullying (+75 points) This is one of the most controversial offenses there are, so I'm going to be very clear on what we define as "Cyberbullying".

• The use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.
• Creating obnoxiously rude Hashtag's, or 'Meme's' of another person without their consent / agreement.
• Threatening to release, or releasing someone's personal information / bodily features without their permission.
• Verbally harassing / bullying another individual.

5. Threatening to do something to another player which can cause serious harm / damage. (Instant perm ban)

Please note the following; Suggestion's are more than welcome to be made to this thread to help enforce a more welcoming / safe environment for all players.

Now this all looks good, and you may be asking "How do we report it?" Well I made a public Skype account you can contact me with, now whenever/if I made this I would need to tell you what I will accept and what I will not.

Hello everyone! Today we're announcing we made a Discord Server! If you don't know what Discord is we recommend you to check out this tutorial it's pretty straightforward,

now you may be wondering, why's there a Discord? Well two reasons,

1. We can answer less important questions on discord without the forums being flooded with un-important questions.

2. Meet other players? Not exactly a reason.

Oh yeah and here's the link to it (No longer need to update it due to Discord having a feature where it's not a temporary link). https://discord.gg/22KA4Ak

I will wait for a day or two or until Razor is able to disprove and if he fails to disprove my evidence then he will be banned. Link to the video showing the evidence,
