#

or if we ever push for sub 24 100%

wind cliff
#

Yeah

fallen zealot
#

can i give 5 euros to every player to get r4e1 29:--

#

its a good incentive

covert cypress
#

Where did r6c2 come from

sullen silo
#

oh wait

#

wrong rundown

covert cypress
#

Did someone suggest that

urban nest
#

💀

placid marten
#

where did R6C2 come from

#

WHA

fallen zealot
#

r6c2

candid jackal
#

i was gonna say

fallen zealot
#

i voted it

#

do it

urban nest
#

please don't

wind cliff
#

I was voting

covert cypress
#

is it r5c2 main or 100% too

wind cliff
#

For r6c2

covert cypress
#

What am I voting for here

wind cliff
#

Hate to say

fallen zealot
#

r6c2

sullen silo
fallen zealot
#

r5c2 100% or main what is that

urban nest
#

i trust it's 100% surely

candid jackal
placid marten
#

R5C2 99%

#

cant finish extract

covert cypress
#

100% more interesting

fallen zealot
sullen silo
#

uhh

urban nest
#

whats current wr again

candid jackal
fallen zealot
#

90:00

candid jackal
fallen zealot
sullen silo
urban nest
#

jish knows

wind cliff
urban nest
fallen zealot
#

41 minutes doesn't sound bad i can easily solo it

placid marten
#

100% will easily not have many people joining tho

drifting citrus
#

well... that's it with bringing some new groups

placid marten
#

I can say that for sure

#

Just to clarify that for Soy

wind cliff
#

Well

#

Yeah

#

R5c2 100%

#

If mega fucked

covert cypress
#

I don’t think r6 story is getting much either

fallen zealot
#

ngl i voted it just cause i want to see more runs of it

covert cypress
#

Cause it’s over 25 mins right guys

placid marten
#

fun run to watch

but nothing for people who might be interested in a fun run to try

drifting citrus
#

2 teams are running this xd

wind cliff
drifting citrus
#

maybe 3rd

placid marten
#

nah savis team is busy

urban nest
#

trust i'll get a team team

wind cliff
urban nest
#

dw ure cooked

#

🙏

sullen silo
#

is it just the 100% that puts off people or is it R5C2 in general|?

fallen zealot
placid marten
#

100%

wind cliff
#

Those players

placid marten
wind cliff
#

who are new

covert cypress
#

but what are they competing against

drifting citrus
covert cypress
#

They’re not competing for the wr surely

candid jackal
#

runs done by which individual, on which level, under which conditions (gtfo%? individual level runs?), under which circumstances (one and done? multiple runs until a decent baseline time is had?)

as I said, a good time is a function of the amount of time you put into running the level
if you spend 90 minutes and don't give a fuck about cleaning everything up wrt your movement/minimising wasted time then yeah of course the time is going to be bad, but that's a function of time invested and not of the run being easy or difficult

covert cypress
#

If it’s not wr and it’s something different

urban nest
#

sub 50 !!

fallen zealot
#

what about to compete for sub 50

#

or sub 1 hour

covert cypress
#

Something more achievable

urban nest
#

or sub 45 idk

covert cypress
#

Then sure

fallen zealot
#

sub 1:10 is more reasonable tbh

#

whenever i pub that level it's always 1:30 ore more lol

sullen silo
#

how hard is R5C2 to play normallyt

#

100%

#

not speedrunning, just playing normally

urban nest
#

isn't it like 2nd hardest C tier in the game

#

or smth

sullen silo
#

its been a long time since i played

fallen zealot
#

its decently hard

covert cypress
#

It’s not that hard tbh

sullen silo
#

mixed messages

placid marten
fallen zealot
#

i mean depends on the player lmao

#

are you asking the thousand hours players or the average player

urban nest
#

everyone here is above at least 2k hours lmao

placid marten
fallen zealot
#

nerds

sullen silo
covert cypress
#

guys the average players will not be participating most likely

sullen silo
#

forgetting someone

urban nest
fallen zealot
#

okay then it's not that hard

urban nest
placid marten
fallen zealot
#

hope you got a discord notif

#

from that

urban nest
placid marten
#

huh?

urban nest
#

they're like gimmick

placid marten
#

we are talking about difficulty of C tiers

#

in general

urban nest
#

are we talking about 100% or main

placid marten
#

100%

fallen zealot
#

okay but if the average player is not partecipating r5c2 100% is good no?

urban nest
#

nahh

covert cypress
#

yea

candid jackal
urban nest
#

it's a good challenge

candid jackal
#

oh I misread

sullen silo
#

just cause an average player isnt participating doesnt mean i want to make it inaccessable to them

candid jackal
#

idk I can't give you a time unless I know the level and how much time is lost from each segment if you roll badly or play poorly

sullen silo
#

not saying it is inaccessable

#

but thats my mindset with this thing

wind cliff
#

guys

placid marten
covert cypress
wind cliff
#

there is a diffrent angle here

covert cypress
#

Instead of WR

candid jackal
#

Take current time as benchmark rng, add the time loss from bad rng, then add on +10-15% from that for sloppy play

wind cliff
#

what level do we want to run the least

fallen zealot
#

well yeah

urban nest
#

just make 2 comps

#

one for pubs one for tryhards

placid marten
urban nest
#

ezpz

sullen silo
#

hold on guys my mic stand fell off

fallen zealot
#

make a comp to be cuter than sky

wind cliff
#

soy

#

YOUR

placid marten
wind cliff
#

WHAT If

#

WE FORCE EVERY ONE TO RUN R1A1

#

that way

fallen zealot
#

no

placid marten
#

oh god

wind cliff
#

we can mid max the time

placid marten
#

MID MAX

wind cliff
#

we can try to get it lower

placid marten
#

what

wind cliff
#

MID MAX

placid marten
#

OH

#

min max

wind cliff
#

MID

placid marten
#

wait uh

#

but ye jokes aside

#

R5C2100% will not get many people running

wind cliff
#

r4d2 1100%

#

will tho

sullen silo
wind cliff
#

trust

sullen silo
#

pretty much everyone wil get a role

#

and then the special coloured role is given to the sweatlords that are top three

drifting citrus
# wind cliff we can mid max the time

k so here's the strat: get like 10 different shows totaling to about a week worth of watch time: and then each player hosts the lobby 1/4th of the time and everyone watches together shows while the host is resetting for 8 hours

placid marten
#

R6 story%
R3D1
R5C2 main

and some other ones

are way more accessable

R6 story% biggest wall is Reactor skip, especially since cycle skip in the boss fight saves nearly a minute and is not smth many will pull off

sullen silo
#

either fastest in general or first to beat a certain time

fallen zealot
#

i wish you could run multiple gtfo instances to run r1a1 so you can reset everytime like minecraft speedruningdoes

placid marten
#

the advantage of choosing say R3D1 is that we can choose a goal time (like 11 minutes) which is reachable but tough so the "sweatlords" as soy called them have a good goal to reach

covert cypress
#

We got the Minecraft speedrunning mention

drifting citrus
sullen silo
covert cypress
#

The speedrunning argument criteria has been complete

sullen silo
#

keep up the good work

placid marten
fallen zealot
#

lmao

wind cliff
placid marten
#

if jish idea gets put forward maybe I can start calling myself a Sweatsage kappa

wind cliff
#

still need a different liquid

placid marten
#

NO

#

ffs

fallen zealot
#

if i still vaped i would try a sweatsage flavour

placid marten
#

xD

sullen silo
#

ok so back on track

#

it seems we are at another impasse

wind cliff
#

soy coming to us with brain storming

#

is the worst thing

sullen silo
#

on if 100% is the way to go or not

urban nest
#

guys can we just agree on r3d1

wind cliff
#

yeah

#

i agree

#

r3d1

placid marten
#

^

bleak crane
#

R3D1 would be good.

wind cliff
#

@covert cypress conform

#

Please

#

i know it isnt in your TC blood

covert cypress
#

sure whatever

#

gotta let the A tier runners have a chance right

wind cliff
#

okay

#

no one say anything

#

we have consensus

covert cypress
#

Consensus

placid marten
#

what about R3A2 instead?

I like the odds for a sub 3:20 jish

sullen silo
#

r3d1 is the first level with the big mother right

covert cypress
#

ye

wind cliff
#

yeah

fallen zealot
#

what's the timer for r3d1 then

sullen silo
#

ok i kinda remember that one

fallen zealot
#

to get the non sweat badge

wind cliff
#

12 mins if your being nice

fallen zealot
#

if 11 is to beat wr?

wind cliff
#

sub 14

sullen silo
#

well i think that level is in my skill level

bleak crane
sullen silo
#

so ill set the baseline

placid marten
#

id say sub 11 for "Sage"
and sub 15 for general speed?

placid marten
drifting citrus
#

sub 15 general speed would be good

sullen silo
#

you actual gtfo players can figure out the good time to beat

fallen zealot
#

sub 15 seems good

drifting citrus
#

no rng for sub 15, while not requiring the most fucked strats

fallen zealot
#

maybe?

urban nest
#

do u think sub 10 is possible lol

drifting citrus
wind cliff
#

CConsole

urban nest
#

yes

wind cliff
#

then ues

placid marten
#

R3A2 sub 3:20 would take a theoretical 1 in 1.500.000.000 (obviously rounded)

its unclear whether that seed can even exist

wind cliff
#

i do think it is possible

#

In my solo guide for r3d1

#

i get a sub 6 min time

fallen zealot
#

there's a solo guide

wind cliff
#

i am pretty sure

fallen zealot
#

for r3d1?

urban nest
#

the jish guide goes hard

fallen zealot
#

wait i never seen it

wind cliff
#

LOL

drifting citrus
wind cliff
#

It is me making fun of a solo montage player

placid marten
#

eh 3 scatterguns

wind cliff
#

For 7 mins

fallen zealot
#

i need it

placid marten
#

that one back then

#

wasnt that the same guy who posted the screenshot with feet

wind cliff
#

YES

#

YES

sullen silo
#

no

#

dont bring that up

covert cypress
#

Is that the same guy

sullen silo
#

i want to forget

fallen zealot
#

ty jish

covert cypress
#

I thought GoN Arch was a different guy

wind cliff
#

like

#

7 smurfs

#

beth

covert cypress
#

what the fuck happened

#

He should’ve stuck to his montages

fallen zealot
#

i had him on my steam friends through gunfire reborn

sullen silo
#

guys theres an issue

#

i cant play r3d1

#

i dont have it unlocked

wind cliff
#

LOL

fallen zealot
#

this guy admins for the server

#

cooked

bleak crane
#

Someone carry Soy

wind cliff
#

soy

#

just @ us

placid marten
sullen silo
#

hey its not my fault they removed all of my completions

wind cliff
#

we can taxi

#

you into the level

placid marten
#

we can do a casual fast clear

#

no fancy strats

sullen silo
#

the game told me to do the tutorial first as well

placid marten
#

just r3d1 how its meant to be

sullen silo
#

yeah that might be for the best

placid marten
sullen silo
#

i dont think i could solo it anyway

#

guys i swear ive played this game before

placid marten
#

who has time rn?

placid marten
sullen silo
drifting citrus
#

and we all know what happens in charger zone

fallen zealot
sullen silo
#

if im gonna play with you guys we have to run meme builds to make it fair

wind cliff
placid marten
wind cliff
#

it is so funny

fallen zealot
#

caught me by surprise ngl

#

thought i had a seizure

wind cliff
#

in the background

fallen zealot
#

oh it brings me back to when i was a teenager

placid marten
#

@wind cliff

#

join

bleak crane
#

Does it have to be just one level, btw?

sullen silo
#

i think we've decided on R3d1 for this one

#

but if you have a suggestion ill take it in mind for next time i do one

bleak crane
#

Probably R5E1 or R7E1.

#

Hard speeds w/ varied strats

#

and both under 30 minutes

#

(even not on the most optimal route)

urban nest
#

ray this is not accessible

covert cypress
#

yeah only 2 teams are gonna run this…

bleak crane
urban nest
#

ig but it's an E tier

#

if that means anything

#

pubs can't clear those not talking about speed

covert cypress
#

yeah think about the average players!!!

urban nest
#

yes yes !!

bleak crane
#

I don't think pubs are participating in this in general

covert cypress
#

the average players that are totally going to be interested in speedrunning

urban nest
fallen zealot
#

hey

#

if i get a coloured role

bleak crane
#

Like, the R6C1 ended up being 3 teams in the end anyway

fallen zealot
#

ill partecipate

bleak crane
#

And became boring almost immediately because it was too easy to optimize

covert cypress
#

r3d1 will be the same btw

urban nest
#

i mean that's just how it is

fallen zealot
#

game is dead no?

covert cypress
#

for short levels yeah

fallen zealot
#

i see more vc's with farm merge valley than gtfo

covert cypress
#

They’re boring as fuck to optimise

urban nest
#

r7e1 with brazil skip would be one of the best choices ngl

placid marten
bleak crane
#

I think R7E1 would be good just because you can get a decent time w/out Brazil skipping

#

Brazil skip is like a 2min time save

sullen silo
#

after this competition im down to do some random ass levels that will only have 2 teams playing

covert cypress
#

that’d be fun probably

sullen silo
#

this is the only one that i intend to try and make actually accessable

#

cuz its the sendoff for this channel

fallen zealot
covert cypress
#

good luck with that

#

e tier too scary

fallen zealot
fallen zealot
#

zz

#

my farm merge

dawn wave
#

Wesley's sum of best is 4:05.9 unless he got a better run
That's scary

drifting citrus
dawn wave
#

Is R6D1 even viable to run after sniper nerf

placid marten
dawn wave
#

Freeze bug run?

#

Or something else

covert cypress
#

client tumor things

#

Shooting it before it pops on your end so you get extra damage

#

With the goal of skipping a cycle

wind cliff
# dawn wave Freeze bug run?

You can over damage tumors. By having a low tumor and or shooting a tumor that has already popped by not popped on your end

#

If you over damage by 12 sniper shots

#

Then you would have skipped a phase

dawn wave
#

Oh like that

wind cliff
#

Yeah

#

It is “easy” to do

#

You just have to be accustomed with your team’s latency and you have 4 sniper shots of error

#

The set up is like 12 dmr plus 9 sniper

#

To bring tumor to 1 hp but you have to adjust based on damage fall off calculations that kinda just need to be eye balled

#

If you don’t then you will lose your 4 sniper shots of error and only have 3

damn you australian timezone

Dw frosty I'm crashing out when I get home in 4 hours

HUGE

#

when does this thing start

obsidian dome
sullen silo
#

ish

candid jackal
#

what level again

wind cliff
urban nest
candid jackal
#

why is it r3d1

#

wasn't it decided to be r5c2

urban nest
#

nah

rustic bridge
rustic bridge
wind cliff
candid jackal
#

when and where

wind cliff
#

We forced compliance

#

I spent 30 aura

#

to do it

urban nest
candid jackal
#

i guess i zoned out/went to get food at that part

rustic bridge
rustic bridge
#

@candid jackal

#

i dont mean to single you out jish sigma boy

wind cliff
#

I think it was my idea

urban nest
#

aight

rustic bridge
#

what the fuck jish

#

im happy its r3d1 tho cause now PEOPLE HAVE TO RUN IT

placid marten
#

Well it all comes back to me

rustic bridge
#

ive wanted to run it for like a year

rustic bridge
placid marten
#

Ngl if the role is called smth like GTFO SAGE

then we give jish massive props

wind cliff
#

You guys

#

Just

#

Splat on all my ideas

#

It is worse than high school

#

at least you don’t dunk my head in the use urinal but I feel like you all would try to if you could

placid marten
#

wtf

candid jackal
#

i'm not sure if i'll find r3d1 all too compelling to run

urban nest
#

i don't have a team to run it

#

chad dumped me

candid jackal
#

complexity dips when there's only one thing to be doing at a time, with how short the level is scan rng ends up becoming quite a large determinant

placid marten
urban nest
#

'i'll be running it with my static'

#

ffs

candid jackal
#

reads like a 2016 meme

#

dumped by chad

urban nest
#

ikr

placid marten
urban nest
#

r3d1

placid marten
#

also just force star or smth

candid jackal
#

when does it start

urban nest
#

star is not a speed player rlly

#

and idw to make him

placid marten
#

make em

candid jackal
#

speedrunning is just a set of learned behaviours

urban nest
#

yeah exactly

placid marten
#

also sub 16(:08?) is pretty casually doable

#

you go and shoot
no logs, no fancy strats

urban nest
#

for r3d1 u mean?

placid marten
#

Yup

urban nest
#

my pubs get like 18 to 19 occasionally

placid marten
#

yea

wind cliff
#

You can beat 16 easy

placid marten
#

duo time barely beating sub 15 smh

urban nest
#

isn't it 14:40

wind cliff
#

So you will save time on every section of scans

#

With 4

#

You just need to make it to the team scans on time

candid jackal
#

if double foam is still fastest strat i'm gonna cry

placid marten
#

its less about being faster and just being safer

#

if done badly 2nd alarm is slower with foam

cloud depot
placid marten
#

yes

placid marten
cloud depot
rustic bridge
cloud depot
#

it is, and it is precisely why i personally dont like it

#

well one of the main reasons at least

placid marten
#

me when I had 2nd place nmg pace in PP Ch1.3 but didnt get last pole skip due to rng and fucked it

#

well @cloud depot you could just do some 4fun fast runs kanagoFast

cloud depot
#

if it was on smthin like r4e1 i wouldve considered doing that maybe, but i dont find just doin r3d1 fast particularly interesting, not much of a challenge even with my skilled issued self

covert cypress
#

its just scan rng anyway

#

💤

cloud depot
#

meanwhile quick r4e1 even if im not goin for wr is still fairly diffcult

#

for me at least

cloud depot
#

i sk balls

covert cypress
#

r4e1 is only rng at this stage

#

if ur going for wr

cloud depot
#

not for a wr

covert cypress
#

otherwise for a lot of earlier runs its just skill

rustic bridge
#

ah

cloud depot
#

i think ur run is more or less optimized skill wise

#

maybe like slight time loss on reactor

covert cypress
#

theres stil skill expression

#

but yea rng matters more now

placid marten
#

shadow zone full sprint max skill progression unlocked when

cloud depot
covert cypress
#

probably never cause idk if we're pushing the time to a point where that matters

#

that could be like sub 29 angle

#

id have to see what sub 30 run looks like

cloud depot
#

hmm

#

ya hard to say for sure rn

candid jackal
#

yeah r4e1 is mostly down to getting good keys, good cell in reactor (you're having a worse time if you don't roll e-trip or 2nd c-trip to use at blood door), and good scans once you're playing well

#

but it takes a fair amount of growing into to get that skill expression in each role and even still you can fuck up

cloud depot
#

well if in the future there is an r4e1 speed i'd prolly go for a "fast" run like i said, should be an interesting challenge, no intention of going or expecting a wr from me tho xd

candid jackal
#

and then there's more facets to perform and things to do than a lot of other levels which are more along the lines of running from point A to point B

cloud depot
#

way more than smthin like A-B speeds

candid jackal
#

Not even just that

#

A lot of speedruns you are really just running for scans and picking up one or two objects

placid marten
#

yea in r4e1 you run for scans while picking up objects bessheh

candid jackal
#

look, at least there's a bit more to it

placid marten
#

yea like a reactor

rustic bridge
#

harder levels always have more to them

candid jackal
#

doing all the stuff at reactor, resources afterwards, choosing when to use meds to push harder

placid marten
#

you know like 3 way split ups

candid jackal
#

dealing with any scout waves when necessary

placid marten
#

that just sounds like many speeds tbh, minus the reactor

candid jackal
#

more intense

placid marten
#

r4e1 reactor is cool due to fast waves tho ngl

#

if that was a typical long reactor it would be so snooze

#

r4e1 already has 2 long waiting sections basically

cloud depot
#

like shadow zone when u sprint tho

#

is pretty scary xd

#

reactor is also no joke

#

well mostly w6

placid marten
cloud depot
#

but still

#

well ya

#

most speeds arent E

candid jackal
#

The harder the squeeze the better it feels

cloud depot
#

since there is only a few E tiers xd

placid marten
#

some speeds bump up the run difficulty itself in crazy ways if you try and full send them

cloud depot
placid marten
candid jackal
cloud depot
#

well i cant argue with that

turbid osprey
#

I have found people do not like being picked up when you hug em

cloud depot
#

they're just to tsundere

turbid osprey
#

Tbf I'm doing this to like 6'3 350 pound dudes

#

I think they're unaccustomed

wind cliff
#

I wish someone would pick me up and not dunk my head into the toilet @placid marten

cloud depot
#

lmfao

placid marten
#

Id yoink peoples hats sometimes at worst

cloud depot
#

oh ya btw speaking of r4e1 speeds what's usually done to mom room? I only watched beth's run and she was defending reactor so not sure

#

im assuming prolly just blast

placid marten
#

you hope theres a good path

candid jackal
placid marten
#

best case

candid jackal
#

there is provision to kill em, Ray's the one who'd make that call

placid marten
#

imagine killing mothers

cloud depot
#

i see

placid marten
#

R3d1 and r8d2 the only true big mom friendly runs

candid jackal
placid marten
#

even on r5c2 you kill her…

candid jackal
#

within codes you have enough time to walk path

#

cell can't sprint

placid marten
#

cell… COULD

#

but only in other categories

rustic bridge
#

well you wouldnt wake them up cause bhopping

cloud depot
#

well u prolly dont save THAT much time even with sprint path then, tho its nice for looting which i imagine helps quite a bit

wind cliff
#

One walk path almost always exists

placid marten
#

honestly in theory how you play shadow zones is probably the biggest time save left

but that can get really fucked

rustic bridge
cloud depot
candid jackal
#

Bkh being 5s faster through mom zone doesn't mean you're 5s faster out of reactor anyhow

#

still bottlenecked by res grab

placid marten
#

which is theoretically bottlenecked by mom zone

#

idk why you cant use telepathy to communicate where stuff is

#

I do it in some recent runs

#

smh

sullen silo
#

Wow this channel is so active now

#

All it took was it being faced with gettint thannos snapped

#

And a competition ig

placid marten
#

yea I cant believe theres talks about this being read only

#

crazy decision by some admins i guess kappa

sullen silo
#

I mean part of me is somewhat second guessing it at this point

covert cypress
#

nah its probs best

#

itll die again after this

cloud depot
#

probably

sullen silo
#

If the channel was always this active it’d be obvious to keep it

#

But yeah, I doubt it’ll stay this active

i mean in my case i literary only opened this channel cause i heard it was getting nuked lmao, and decided to join the convo

placid marten
#

ill start sending fun facts about gtfo levels every day

#

surely

sullen silo
#

If only that was speedrunning related

delicate flare
#

eva posting a new quiz about gtfo until they slowly divert to quizzes about deadspace

sullen silo
#

Tbf if I kept up this whole challenges thing for a while I could probably change this to just be a gtfo challenge channel

#

But idk if that is blasphemous

wind cliff
#

I really like

#

the idea

sullen silo
#

Also I’d rather make a forum to be honest

wind cliff
#

Of just letting us argue in this channel

#

Forever

#

It would be my heaven

sullen silo
#

No you have gtfo chat for that

#

I mean

#

No you’re not meant to argue

wind cliff
delicate flare
#

if we speed into insults in an argument is that gtfo speedrun technically

wind cliff
#

Discord is a 3rd party service we need to not use it in speedruns

sullen silo
#

Oh so true

#

I should add that to the rules of the competition

placid marten
sullen silo
#

Yeah I probably should have realised you would

#

gtfo fun facts competition

placid marten

the guy who litteraly does a quizshow

#

💀

who says more fun facts until they run out

sullen silo

#

would be a banger

I very much doubt they’d have the time to do that

my joke

placid marten

my bit

sullen silo
#

Oh really?

placid marten

yes

sullen silo

Surprises me to be honest

it was planned last wed

but one had smth come up urgently so we are replanning

placid marten

if devs have time to be denning and wolving they b havin time for quizzin

sullen silo
#

That’s cool

placid marten

smh

ssmh

placid marten
#

on that note

#

I also am planning to do a gtfo solo lockout bingo event

#

but me being sick got in the way of planning much

sullen silo
#

No commitment smh

#

But anyway I’m gonna steal your idea of a quiz show for another competition

#

If anyone else has any ideas for me to steal lmk

delicate flare
#

something stupid i always wanted to do is a spanish game where u ask questions which answers go around the abecedary, like answers with A B C D and so on, but thats a very spanish game

#

not really something u can do in english

sullen silo
#

Cry about it

placid marten
#

I will

#

just wait

#

The BBC copypasta will find you

sullen silo
#

oh no

delicate flare
#

occlusions e1 will find u

sullen silo
#

anyway i think its time to start the speedrun competition

I hope everyone has a gud time with it

pinning the form link here too

sullen silo

D:

sullen silo

also just to clarify, this channel will remain like it is now until a little bit after the competition ends

fallen zealot
#

I like how

#

no where it says it's r3d1

#

can I just submit an r1a1 solo

placid marten
#

Oooh

sullen silo
#

oh

whoops

placid marten
#

xD

#

i may be blind

sullen silo
#

updated

#

yeah i half blame you eva

placid marten
#

I shouldve trademarked it like the podcast smh

sullen silo
#

so it was sabotage

#

smh

#

i should trademark gtfo speedruns after this

rustic bridge
#

yeah ngl if some people try and find a loophole or some shit to get an advantage im gonna start exposing people

placid marten
#

and no mods/cheats/glitches/boosters is mostly everything no?

sullen silo
#

the only thing ive thought of since is no runs completed before the date of the competition start

#

but idk how we'd check for that lmao

rustic bridge
#

logs

#

you should make that a rule

sullen silo
#

maybe

#

i might just do it as a rule for runs under 11 mins though

#

those are the only ones i imagine will need proper verification

#

maybe i shouldnt have said that publically

you guys are funny

@sullen silo Assuming that the runners are incentivized to get the lowest possible time, then the problem with choosing an "accessible" level is that getting the lowest time will generally devolve into grinding for as close to perfect RNG as possible. This shifts the 'accessibility barrier' for striving for the lowest time from 'being one of the best teams running' to 'being a good enough team running and having the most amount of time during the competition window'.

This was seen during 10CC's R6C1 competition. The teams that got the lowest times all grinded for dozens and dozens of hours, I think the winning team literally woke-up, grinded all day, went to bed for days in a row. No discredit to those teams, they're all good and their commitment and dedication is impressive, the point is simply that 'team that only has 8 hours to run because they have other real life commitments during the window' is simply not going to have chances of getting one of the lowest times. Entry into the competition will be accessible, but getting one of the lowest times will instead have a unhealthy barrier.

And of course if you choose an inaccessible level there'll be like 3 teams.

As such, I'd strongly recommend not incentivizing (or at least only weakly incentivizing) the lowest possible time.

My suggestion (similar to part of what was suggested by yourself) is to only have rewards for beating X time. You could even split this up to have gold/silver/participation time goals. Getting the lowest possible time could still have rewards from e.g. getting a shout out in the winning announcement, but I do not think it should have a disproportionately large reward in order to avoid too strongly incentivizing unhealthy amounts of grinding.

#

This would also give clear goals for all those participating, they have a time to beat and they don't need to care about anyone else, they're just competing against themselves and the clock.

#

And if some teams want to really grind it out for the lowest time, they can still do so, and get some clout and a shout out for doing so.

placid marten

I'm aware

placid marten

and the time thing
was suggested by myself

i didn't expect anything before going into the ruleset but i'm still sorta disappointed/let down

sullen silo

i mean maybe ill think about something

placid marten

I agree

but thats a massive text for whats essentially a short statement
And thats coming from me who often also types up a lot

candid jackal
#

not being able to play for the vast majority of the competition period

#

guess it sucks if 3 teams beat 11m before i can even get to run!

native crest
#

Soy is unfamiliar with the speedrunning community. "lol A tier grindfest zzzzzz make it just a goal time" might make sense to you but Soy deserves a bit more explanation

sullen silo
candid jackal
#

it ties into what tru said above

placid marten
#

because surely 3 teams will get sub 11 easily right

tho I do agree it should probably just be

Get sub 16? -> special role
get sub 11? -> extra special role

candid jackal
#

at a point it becomes about grinding for rng rather than being about skill expression

urban nest
#

lf3 r3d1

placid marten
#

it still is about skill expression

rng mattering is unavoidable. Its gtfo

but my 5 seconds running in a straight line!!!

trus point of grinding is tru(e) tho

fallen zealot
candid jackal
#

think it'd be cool if the role for sub 11 stayed coloured but i guess some people wouldn't like that

#

what's better, sub11 role or NLO

rn at least the plan is this

candid jackal
#

ya that'd help, and i should also state that there's no animosity towards you Soy

#

my ire is reserved for when people start saying stupid shit :)

glass cradle
#

yeah be aware that if things go wrong it is not your fault and we chatters were probably going to get mad at each other anyways 👍

fallen zealot
#

just want to point out that if things go wrong it is your fault soy and you should've never come back to the server

urban nest
#

brilliant move

fallen zealot
#

I know ty

sullen silo
#

anyone getting sub 16 gets a (i participated in this specific speedrunning competition) role, this one will be perminant but it wont be coloured.

Anyone getting sub 11 will also get an "Competition Winner" role that is coloured. After some time, essentially whenever i decide to make the next competition but at least a month probably, they'll lose that role and be given a non coloured equivalent, so that the next set of winners can be coloured instead.

While id love to keep people coloured forever, im not sure i could because eventally there would be so many people with the coloured role that it loses its unique-ness. Id also love to be able to make loads of roles for this kind of thing so its even more unique, but this is an offical server for the game and i have to keep it somewhat small scale at the end of the day.

#

i hope that explains it all

urban nest
#

gtfo season 1 will go hard

placid marten

goated soy

can we get the John wick skin for season 3

candid jackal
#

okay cool we go r4e1 sub 30 next month

sullen silo

if thats what people want

#

but im also gonna do non speedrunning stuff at some point

#

maybe alongside speedrunning, if people are into it enough

dont do r4e1 sub 30 that shits ass

gotta give the non speedrunners an opertunity to feel special

Re: level choice. I feel like 80% or the arguments about level choice earlier were made without the context of how the competition would be run (with solely goal time based role rewards) so feelings might change on that front.
(In particular I think a lot of people complaining about boring reset heavy levels might care a bit less strongly when its just a reasonable goal time they're up against)

sullen silo
#

im undecided on the name of the coloured one

urban nest
#

red

#

like it was

sullen silo

so i think ill make it up to the winners to decide

#

not colour

sullen silo

unless you want it to be called red

Though I'm personally fine with R3D1, though it is a bit less accessible as far as things go

I just said it shouldnt be a competition

yes i want

bc this game sucks

sullen silo

why are you here

placid marten

a red role thats called blue would go hard

sullen silo
#

but i think the winners should be able to decide

glass cradle
#

bc I try my best to make the game not suck

rustic bridge
#

having a time goal that is abit easier is good for accessability, and having one that is harder is good for people that want a challenge

#

incentive for both types of players

placid marten

#

I read the entire convo from top to bottom, it was never clear that this was set in stone, it had only been thrown around as suggestions

placid marten
rustic bridge
#

i like time bounties

placid marten
rustic bridge
#

like for example "15:00 = bronzem, 13:00 = silver, 11:00 = gold"

placid marten
#

it was indicated that it would probably be based on time goals

rustic bridge
#

gives a chance for everyone to get a prize

#

or reward

placid marten
sullen silo
#

yeah i gotta keep the amount lowish for now

candid jackal
#

irrespective of the way the competition is rewarded, I still believe it preferable to pick a level where the RNG component is more minimal compared to skill expression (i.e the most important factor is you playing well, and if you play poorly you get punished)

sullen silo
#

maybe ill get more bold eventually

candid jackal
#

that's my stance and will continue to be my stance

vernal glen
drifting citrus
sullen silo
#

medals/badges would be such a good feature for discord

drifting citrus
#

i fucking knew it

rustic bridge
vernal glen
rustic bridge
candid jackal
#

challenge is good and a level being accessible enough that you're playing for RNG is not great for competition or fun while playing (though one could levy that with infinite time every level becomes about RNG as player skill improves to such a degree)

I agree that rng should be less for competition runs, not completely gone cuz that would limit levels quite a lot i imagine

idk

placid marten

but it has a strat that most people would need to understand and pull off to have a chance

(Well if you pick good goal times that account for the effect of RNG then we don't have to be having this conversation)

placid marten
candid jackal
# rustic bridge so basically new speedrunners have no chance

at such a point you may start discerning the reason for competition, is it to compete or get a participation prize?
do newer players even have the skills or knowledge required in the first place to be able to play to the level required? in terms of borth the mechanical skill, the learned behaviours of minimising time (scan optimisation, looting optimisation, the small things), and what of the external stuff such as reading logs/using wardenmapper/seedindexeroverlay?

vernal glen
#

+10s penalty to your time

sullen silo
#

i figured it was lowkey enough that it wasnt needed

drifting citrus

imma be honest: i do think an @ everyone would be deserved here

sullen silo
#

yeah?

drifting citrus
#

yea why not

sullen silo
#

im not even gonna pretend actually

drifting citrus
#

honest competition

#

for fun

rustic bridge
#

Better yet ping everyone individually

candid jackal
#

Two teams get sub 11, you're trying to be the third - what happens if i get a sub 11 run at 11:55am GMT and have to wait until 1pm GMT to submit it due to slow upload speed on the vod, while someone else gets a sub 11 run at 12:30pm GMT, it uploads in 10 minutes and they submit it before I do

Which team gets the point? The ones who were first to the goal or the ones who were first to the google form?

placid marten
sullen silo
#

yeah

#

unlike you guys i actually have the power to do it

drifting citrus
#

people who complain about @ everyone s can seethe and cope to getting one red letter

placid marten

also logs

placid marten

Also logs exist

send which screenshot where

we gotta check that

placid marten

@sullen silo right?

its already been changed from first 3 anyways no?

placid marten

I think so yea

Now the question is whether tru will ever get discord notifs again

#

just not reflected in the discord announcement

# rustic bridge tell time

in local time zone, what do you make of that when something reads 19:55 but is GMT+8 and another run reads 14:55 and is GMT-8
The GMT+8 came first but it reads differently

vernal glen
#

pls use gtfo-media for its intended purpose only, double kills with melee

how do you interpret it without knowing the timezone of whoever submits

and tbh i dont have a good solution

vernal glen
sullen silo
#

for that or the issue of timezones

#

there isnt a way to really make it fair for everyone to have time to do it

placid marten
#

fixes it outright

rustic bridge
#

yeah wasnt it just everyone who gets a sub 11 gets a role?

#

instead of first 3

sullen silo
#

Even if i delay the competition for a week or so, so people know in advance to get ready but even then people would have to ruin sleep schedules

rustic bridge
#

also gives incentive to not play 24/7

sullen silo
#

but i wasnt sure if people would be mad that it suddenly isnt as exclusive

placid marten

Its mostly for fun and likely you wont see many get sub 11

forgor about my vpn

candid jackal
#

@sullen silo time to torment you more

so there's no distinction made as to how many players should be in the lobby, do you want to impose a limit on that or let there be an option to try for the sub 16 as duo? (trio runs are boring we don't mention trio)

sullen silo
#

uhh

#

is there any advantage from running less people compared to just having 4?

#

if not then i see no issue with it

candid jackal
#

the advantage is that you don't have to put up with as many people (if someone is insufferable) or find as many players

but the run is significantly harder and there is absolutely 0 gameplay advantage

yeah thats fine then
