Rules Revisions / Re: Gens/BizHawk and similar emulators should be banned from competition
« on: January 20, 2014, 08:07:59 pm »
Okay, so it's really interesting to see all this. Let me share my thoughts - Remember that I am relatively new to speedrunning AND competing, though.
So first, I really do dislike the fact that you can use Emulators that have extended functions - I personally go OUT of the way to use emulators, especially because my PC is bad and can't record properly with most. I use either a capture card with the console and the game or actual PC versions of the games.
Now what I've done for most of the proof I have: Either make a video, hope that people trust me, or save it on the savefile of my console (Sonic Colours) in case I did not record anything.
From what I understand it is not always possible for everyone to record everything, and that's FINE. There are multiple alternatives to not using an Emulator! Heck, there's a LOT of virtual console kinds of things for the genesis games. I even got the Sonic 1 for myself, JUST to compete and make clear that I don't cheat or TAS or whatever. I really dislike cheating and cheaters / BSers.
As for that, I make personally sure i use official versions - for my own and for everyone else's sake.
I want to uphold the honor system, but I really would appreciate a guideline of not using certain emulators. I mean we have tons of rules that we can't exactly FORCE on people, but if they DO post proof that is against those - we have an easier time and suspicions won't arise that quickly. I don't want to have to look at every second stat and think "this might be cheated".
As for Gens/whatever, Fusion has a built in recording option that is very friendly to bad PCs, even I can record with it easily. So recording is NOT an issue, you just need the right codec for it. I just choose to not do it as I am a person that believes in authority, so I want to EARN trust FIRST before I fall victim to just completely RELYING on it.
And we have to rely on the TRUST anyway for most DS-generation and later games, since there's no easy way to prove that anyway. So don't get me wrong, i BELIEVE in the honor system, I truely do.
I just would rather not have to worry about cheated/TASed/BS stats because someone used a wrong tool at the wrong time and everyone become worrywarts and there's just this thick cloud of uncertainty and anger about possibly wrong stats.
Whether its rightfully so or just false, we can't really know. With that, I will not vote for banning or unbanning any emulators, because I feel like I do not understand the issue well enough or do not have the right to do so, as it's for the admins to decide - not some greenhorn that basically just joined.

TSC Race Night / A REAL unofficial Race Night: Sonic Colours DS
« on: January 07, 2014, 02:51:26 pm »
Hi guys, I'm planning to host a Race Night by myself that did not make the schedule cut:
Sonic Colours DS
Since it's AGDQ week, there won't be an official race night, and the day could be whenever! Same with the time! Trying to fit as many people in that want to race (in case there are any)
Categories (for starters)
Any% [beat the game]
Any% + 1 mission a world [You can do 1 mission each world without needing a powerup from a later one]
If you want any other categories, you can ask for them below.
If you want we can even not use SRL for it! we're FREE to do anything!
EDIT: Also, any weekday from Friday to Sunday can be agreed on, as its more spontaneous, as well as different from regular race nights.
